With love's weak control. ~,What wt-re life—what were living, And thou, like a star, Spooking down In the olstance,

So far, oh so fart AVIiat were Joy's brief existence, And thou not a-neart ••":vi*ry heart-throb of gladness should swell with a tear. *\Vh it were Kunb«:im, or moonbeam,

On night's loving star, .A.ii'1 thou shut from iny vision. So far, oh, so far?

Oh come back to me, darling, And rest thy poor head On this bottom forever

Not dead! oh not dead! Hjx-ak to me—one word only! Kefute their wild speech, Tl:it thy spirit hath journeyed- w-

Where love may not reach! ,v

Thy dark hair on the pillow,

Thy cheek, waxen white, Wear the semblance of slumber, Not dying, to-night: What were life—what were living,

And thou, like a tar.

FRANKLIN AND JOURNALISM.

The orations ivfi been made, the 8t uuo has been unveiled, and the ban1 uet has beon eaten. A creditable effigy of Franklin adorns Printing-House Square. Of the character of the man and his fitness for such a commemoration we spoke Wedne day. Hut the pro »M»dinirs all indicate the sense of those who to« part in them that this statue, besides being intended to commemorate Franklin, is meant to symbolize the relations of Franklin to American journalism. What are those relations?

The fact which difT-rences Franklin from anv journalist of our day seems to have been overlooked by most of the orators of Wednesday. Yet it is a fact very unfit to be overlooked. It is said that there was no journalism in Franklin's time. To a newspaper it is evidently essential that there should bo news. And there was nothing deserving to be called news in any American newspaper titty years ago. The local news of the largest town was nothing but gossip, and except to people who were content to Tnke the rustle murmur of their burgh Kor the great wave that echoes'round the world there was no news worth consideration or comment. For this gossip was all the news attainable except the brief, unexplained, and unintelligible paragraphs about Kuropean politics which an occasional ship brought in, and the dreary and occasional record of domestic politics. It was then as now the function of the newspaper writer of that time was very limited. Me thrashed wearily over the thousand times thrashed straw of political discussion, with no new facts to enliven it, or he betook himself .n despair to ethical and literary dissertations wholly irrelevant to the life of the men about him. His general writing was therefore essay writing and his political writing pamphleteering.

It would 111 beseem anybody to belittle this mode of discussion, which has given to Knglish literature the masterpieces of Hurke and Junius and William Cobbett. Hut it is proper to point out that the publicists who were pamphleteers were iu every way on different footing from the publicii who are journalists. Pamphleteering, like privateering, "is and remains abolished." Steam and the telegraph iiavo not so much developed as they have created journalism. The old publicist was a pamphleteer who wrote in a town or a village, as suited bim, and "in the still air of delightful studies," political sermons which he could polish into literary masterpieces. The modern publicist is a newspaper writer who writes in haste on the spur and the topic of the moment a haraugue for a.i immediate purpose, aiid it is utterly worthless next day whether it des or not. In fact the better it is found to be next day the worse it Is likely to have been for its purposo tlio day it was written. "A man who writes for a paper" has boen very happily and justly deftnod by De 'Ivicqueville to be "a man who opens a window and bawls at a crowd passing by In the street be* low." The former publicist was an author this one is a street preaoher. His audience is nat in a literary sense so ^fit, but It is not so lew. The same causes which have created him oonfine ji hlm to groat cities. For the centres f. of

population are the centres

jtals as London and Paris and New York Even in these he can scarcely 'i acquire any personal reputation or any ij permanent weight without departing .Jfroin the strict requirements of his vocation. Mr. Greeley has managed to

Vimpress his own personality upon his ^readers. But it is only by departing from the convention of anonymity which is universally accepted in modern Journalism and even Mr. Oreeley might have wrought with as inuch and as peculiar power as he has shown if Jhe had confined himself strictly to a anonymous newspaper writing without being known outside the limits of his sown profession.

These things soem to us to be worth *tho sayingjust now because they show the necessary difference between

Franklin and an eminent journalist of ~4our epoch, and that the eminent journalist of the species Franklin is as obsolete as the dodo.

IN E S E A N A PA N E S E

Mr. James Brooks, of the New York ^Express, in a letter Irom China says •entile Chinese impress the traveller deepsly by their great imitative powers,powera of endurance and wonderful industry. No people work harder, not even tho universal Yankee nation. Their •love of money is beyond what any -.other people seem to nave. Very few nations could stuud in competition with theui t( they had American education and American bravery. "As mechanics they are capable of anything. Then they can lire on little or'nothing—on vegetables almost together—and their clothe* wst little or nothing. Nevertheless, England, Germany and America largely find them 4a their clothes, for the spinning jenny does not eat at all, or need clothes, "but the Chinaman must have something of both. Luxury seems to

Jbe forbidden in China. Even the rich do not indulgo In it, and it is hard to jtell, by any out ward signs, the rich from the poor man, either in his exterior or in bis dwelling.

But the Japanese are by fur the most interesting people. They have not the solidity or stability of the Chifpeee, but they area fkr more Interesting .people, and learn faster and more -cheerfaily then the Chinese, of all that ,*4s new, and of all the progress the great outside world is making. Both their, :, ».

agriculture and their manufactures seem to me quite superior to the Chinese. China is not near as well cultivated as I expected to see it, while iu Japan, in most parte, agriculture lit carried to a very high degree of perfection. There must be more people to the square mile in Japan than In China, and the farms must supply more food lor the population. The population of China must be overestimated bv 100,000,000. There cannot be 400,000.000 people there I doubt if there are 300,000,000. Pekin has no two millions of people in it, as some say—nay, not one million—while Canton* must be much the most populous place. But in most parts of China the struggle for life or to live, seems greater than in Japan.

Hearty ActjmKseKNCE.—My father, say a correspondent, used to tell with much gusto, of Dr. Bellamy, that one of his parishioners, who was a notorious scamp, came to him, saying, iu the parlance of the divinity that pervaded this part of New England at that time. "I feel that I have obtained hope."

The doctor looked surprised. I realize that I am the chief of sinners," continued tho hypocritical canter.

Your neighbors have long been of that opinion," rejoined the doctor. The man went on to say out the lesson. "I feel willing to bo damned lor the glory of God." "Well, uiy friend, I don't know of any one who has the slightest-objec-tion."

England seems,not to have learned the fine art of tolerating free speech. In most of the places where SirCharies Dilke has spoken, his voice was either drowned in uproar, or the audience was kept in a semblance of quiet by an overwhelming police force. The reports of these meetings read like accounts of some of the demonstrations in Western Missouri in Border Ituflian days. Now it seems that the Bishop of Exeter has been mobbed lor speaking in favor ef a bill admitting the sale of liquor under restrictions. Probably the restrictions provoked the rioters but the aflair furnishes another illustration of the perils «f free speech in that enlightened land.—[Golden Age.

Symptoms of Livkk Complaint and OK SoMK OF T1IK DlSUASKS l'KODUUKD hy it.—A sallow or yellow color oi skin, or yellowish brown spots on face and other parts of body dullness and drowsiness with frequent headache dizziness, bitter or bad taste in mouth, dryness of throat, and internal heat palpitation, in many cases a dry teasing cough, with sore throat, unsteady appetite, a raising of food, and a choking sensation in throat distress, heaviness, or bloated or full feeling about stomach and sides, pain in sides, back or breast, and about shoulders colic, pain and soreness through bowels, with heat constipation alternating with frequent attacks of diarrhoea piles, flatulence, nervousneess, coldness of extremities, rush of blood to head, with symptoms of apoplexy, numbness of limbs, especially at night cold chills alternating with hot flashes, kidney and urinary difficulties female weakness and irrsgularities, with dullness, low spirits, unsociability and gloomy forebodings. Only a few of the above symptoms are likely to be present in any case at one time. All who use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for Liver Complaint and its complications are loud in its praise.
