disgraced the country; and he has left on record that he prayed and gave thanks when it was dissolved. Posterity has been towards Lord North more lenient and less just. America gained, through his mismanagement, independence, and could bear him no grudge. In England, no party claimed him as their representative, or saw fit to bring him to judgment; so that his scholarship, his unruffled temper, the purity of his private life, and good words from Burns, from Gibbon, and more than all from Macaulay, have retained for him among his countrymen a better repute as minister than he deserved. The people were not yet known in parliament as a power; and outside of them three groups only could contribute members to an administration. The new tory or conservative party, toward which the part of the whigs represented by Portland and Burke were gravitating, had at that time for its most conspicuous and least scrupulous defender the chancellor, Lord Thurlow. The followers of Lord Chatham, of

The Bay path. [Read before the Medford Historical Society by Mr. Wilson Fiske.] SO good a historian as Lord Macaulay declared that of all human inventions, the alphabet and the printing press excepted, those inventions which abridge distance (that is, which promote inter-communication) had done most for mankind. Which is equivalent to saying that man rises above the savage only when and only so far as he establishes communication and effects co-operation with his fellows. And Macaulay knew not the telegraph, the telephone, the wireless, the airplane, the automobile, the bicycle—hardly the locomotive. How must we be civilized now? Now I propose to speak of the road and a road; and the road is the very sign and symbol of inter-communication. This must have been recognized a very long time ago. If we would seek the best word on roads and road-making (which is not the last word, but perhaps more nearly the first) we must look back more than five and twenty centuries to the u

ssett, the highest testimony was that of Logan, the defender of Hastings. At the end of the first hour of the speech, he said to a friend, "All this is declamatory assertion, without proof." "Another hour's speaking, and he muttered 'This is a most wonderful oration! ' A third and he confessed, 'Mr. Hastings has acted very unjustifiably.' At the end of the fourth, he exclaimed, 'Mr. Hastings is a most atrocious criminal. ' And before the speaker had sat down, he vehemently protested that, 'Of all monsters of iniquity, the most enormous is Warren Hastings' To crown all, it is said that on this same night of Sheridan's glory in the House of Commons, his 'School for Scandal' was acted with 'rapturous applause' at Convent Garden, and his 'Duenna' no less successfully at Drury Lane." Macaulay's wonderful pen-picture of Warren Hastings, tried in Westminster Hall, by the Lords, under impeachment by the Commons, is too well known to be more than referred to here,-- Exchange paper.

a profession which lives by Conservatism? They are the salt of the earth, the charcoal that keeps the State from decomposition, the chloride of lime that wards off cholera, plague, and yellow fever. The definition of conservative, as given in Worcester's popular Dictionary, (good Conservative authority,) is--"1st. That which preserves. 2d. One opposed to political changes in the State or Government — a story." To which the great lexicographer adds the following note from the historian, Macaulay: "We see that if M. Dumont had died in 1799, he would have died, to use the new can't word, a decided conservative" We fancy that if some of our enlightened fellow-citizens who are continually boasting that they are "Conservatives," were aware that they are calling themselves "Tories," they would drop that popular style of self-laudation in a hurry. We are well a ware that they intend no disrespect to themselves by insisting that they are the only "conservatives," i. e., "tories" in t

Getting a Glimpse of the truth. A Northern journal, which zealously supports the Administration, in remarking on the probabilities of a war between the Federal Government and the seceded States, remarks as follows: Is it not too hastily assumed that the contest now opening, though it may be sharp, will be short? The prediction is adventured that the South will miserably fail for want of capital, credit, food, the means of warfare, or even of subsistence. No doubt the people of that section will suffer many things. But war may be carried on when nothing else can be. While the seven years war was raging in Prussia, Macaulay says, "the coin was debased, the civil functionaries were left unpaid, in some provinces the civil government altogether ceased to exist. But there were still rye bread and potatoes, there were still lead and gunpowder, and while the means of sustaining and destroying life remained Frederick was determined to fight it out to the very last."

and composition all give place at need, that grand blows may be struck. The mind must be kept in a continual state of expectation and surprise. From hence research, the research which engenders pretension, the pretension which leads to charlatanism. Eccentricity has become a means of attracting customers. The most eloquent, the most profound even, are not exempt from this calculation. There is intention in the procedure — there is a side taken in the so learnedly balanced antithesis of Macaulay; so there is in the artistic paradoxes of Ruskin; so there is in the insupportable jargon of Carlyle; so there is above all, in the novel." This is hard hitting, and let us confess, that the nail is often hit on the head. The critic proceeds: "The English novelists, in spite of their great talents give me always the effect of Californian miners in search of a productive vein. They do not obey a vocation, they are in search of a manner and a success. All is fall to arrive at this. We hav

In the reign of Anne the iniquities of the leading politicians were of the most scandalous character. Fidelity and honesty were virtues entirely unknown among the public men of Great Britain. Macaulay says: "Among those politicians who, from the Restoration to the accession of the House of Hanover, were at the head of the great parties in the State, very few can be named whose reputation is not stained by what in our age would be called gross perfidy and corruption. It is scarcely an exaggeration to say that the most unprincipled public men that have taken part in affairs within our memory would, it tried by the standard which was in fashion during the latter part of the 17th cen
