The. unusual amount Ot reading iWhich has been done, and which is · always in· some way !1-vailable, tpakes us think that the prizes will be sharply contested and won by really deserving papers.

Old rhy of days! sltall henrts. set free No "Minstrel rap ture'' :finrl for Thee? Thou art the sun of other days, They ~ hine by gi'Hn"g back lhy rays: Enthroned in tby sovereign sphere Thou shedcl'~<t thy ·light on all the year; Sunl1flys by Thee more gloriOllS :preak, An Easter Day in every week: And wct'kda_ys, following in their train, The fulne~s of thy blessing gain, Till all, both resting and employ, Be one Lord's dn.y of holy joy. Then wake, my soul, to high desires, And earlier light thine altar fires: The World some hours is on her way, Nor thinks oil the<r, thou blessed day: Or, if she think, it is in scorn: The vernal light of Easter morn To her dark gaze no brighter seems Than Reason's o,r the Law's pale beams. ""Vhere is your Lord?" she scornful asks: "Where is his hire? we know his tasks; "Son~ of a king ye boast to be; "Let us your crowns and treasures see." w·e in the words of Truth reply, .An angel brought them from the sky, "Our crown, our trea~ure is not here, "'Tis stored above the highest sphere: "1\Iethinl's your 'wisdom guides amiss, ''To seek :Jn eartb a Christian's bliss; ''We watch not now the }tfeless stone; '•Our only Lord is-risen an(] gone." Yet even the lifeless stone is dear F or thoughts of Him who late lay here; And the base world, now Christ hath died, Ennobled is and glorified. No more a charnel-house, to fence The relics of lost innocence, A va1llt of ruin and decay;Th' impri~oning stone is roll'd away: 'Tis now a cell, where angels use To come and go with heavenly news,

Joy to the faitliful Three renew'd, As their glad errand they pursued! Happy, who so Chl'ist's wor!l convey, That be may meet -them on their way!

THE ''CRANK."

The diversit_y among men is great when it is a ..q.nestion of race, but, far more marked is the difference in relation to talents a11rl character. Some are giltc(i with genius; while others are but little elevated above the brute: some are endowed with qaalities which make them loved, honored and successful; others are as thOI;ns in the body social, whose presence is tolerated but not desired. To men of this class whose minds are narrowed to and governed by some one absorbing, though perhaps, ignoble thought, the mime of "crank" has been universally applied. Yet it must not be thought that they are all "cranks'' on the same subject. ·lt'or there · is the social crank, who breaks in upon the circle of wit and intelligence and destroys the pleasme of the ·evening by his :;enseless talk_ about the latest fashion of w::aring a neck-tie or the _ most correct style of a coat. There is a crank whose wealth enableS him to intrude upon your business whenever it, pleases his whim and c;umot understand the polite hints by which it is shown that; his absence is far more desirable than his presence. The political crank is full of the i<lea that the countt:Y is ,..g oing, as op.e · of Dicken's characters would say, t:o the "demnition howwows" and. all this for listening to .t his modern Solon. Many too are the cranks who would reform tb.e l:lOcial. fabric and preacb. a Eutopia of human happiness.

In fine, it may be·S!Iirl of this viee as- an · an:thot once Mid of gFe&tne.ss : Some are bom ·crnnb; others beemne cr.\nks by their ow11 eftbris, while otkers have this vice t-hrus·t 11 porr them by the injustice ot which they ~tre tbe victi-ms. But, it ma.y beMired,arethey!Ul unmitiga.terl nuisance ? Can they be prvductivP of nothing but evil? It cannot be dot~~bted: f0r in the order oftbt world ~ no useless thing can .be found •. Some bhings; certainly, have an appeamnce of evil when they are looked at in relation to pat'ticular circumstallcils :tnd to p:trticult~r .objects. But if tboy 'Rre consirlered in their rela-tion to the whole, they conduce to its harmony and beauty. It is from the conLI11St which we pet'ceive between their impt>Hections and those of nohler and more perfect beings t.h,tt we obtain the irlea ot' beauty and receh·e tho'e pleasurable senaattons which this diversit.y aro use~. What giv ~ s bt'3trty to a strenm but it s S('rpentine-· b:tnks bordered with rlen:;c folinge twining it~elf among the hills? If on tbe contrary, it wended its slow co urse, like the fllnggish e;mal, with UlUhwiating rli1·ectness between pin in nnci .reglllnr wl\lls. wh:,t .at~ntion would..it receive fl'vm the t~pt-ctat.m· or what Sc!ntiments could it excite in hi" lrrea.st ? It i:; by the contrast of his deformity t.o some nwre p('rfect ioe:rl that the ci".J.nk can be s.'\id to be not without his nse. Beside.:, i~ th? subjoot is well ex a 1~in~ , even am~ng (•ranks, dJstmctJOns tntrf!.t be m:Hi(>. } or 1f the mennmg nf the word is considered in a more favorable sense, it will be ~een to C<miain a tim..oe nt>t perceived at the first glance. Very probably tbe word derives its origin from ~m attachment hy whicb a whl!el is turned a11rl which bas.OOtained the name .of ~crank." Herein is its Source. }'or how useless would be the ·wheel without. its aid. It could be r evolvcrl; but only at an f'>xpeudituro of much gre:Jter p0wer .than if tb~ crank were to lend its aid. A . cmok therefore represents a force which , where the question relates to man, mt-.ans Charnmer and ideas. A crank then in its best ·sense means a man of character, a man of idC~ts. And as it is by the power of the cmnk that the wheel is put in motion, so it is the man of character and .ideas who rules the social, t he montl and political world. · , It iis .true, as we.lrnQw from the histories of nations and t he ptRCtice of -all who would move others to aetJon, thl\t. th .. ex('mplifi<mtion o f i~ PafO cxP.rtR mnre in - .

Spartacus, nppeal iug to the gladiat ors, makeq use of idens, certainly, hut be g ives them force, the recital of his own aml t.beir grievan ces. Napoleon mig ht have urged the just ne!'S uf his cau~e. when adrlressing his soldi ers ou t he eve of battle, b ut he was c:~l'efu l to speak of tuei r former deeds and the brave cioi ngs of their forefhthers agai nst the same enemi es. But thoug h it must be ad mi tted th:\t the force nf exarmpl e is a powerfu l incentive to ac.tion 3.Ud 11.lthough even the hi 0a hest minds are not free trom its influ ence, yet these la tter ha ve a source w ithin their own breasts that impells them almost irresistably to 11chieve som ething th3.t will raise them to a level or e ven place tllf·m above t he models which were the objects of their admirati on. To such the term "cmnk" m11y be j u~ tly, but in its be~t sense, appliect. They are men, whose minrls full y taken up with one predomina.nt id ea, fix their gaze on some det erminect goal t o be r eached. If the object is ctistant, they do not r~Iiuquisb their desig n; if obstacles bestre w their path, they e ither see them not ,_or see them only t o pu sh t11em aside; if to il must be itg price, it is willingly und('rgone. ~uch must he the m a n who w ould succeect in any walk in lite: from their ranks come the world's g rM.t men, its heroes. Why do so many make fui lure of life ? Th ey ha ve talents equal and perhaps supe1·ior to those of others; they have fri ends perhaps whose assistance gives them t he fi rst im pulsion on the road of success : birth also may give them help over less fortunate ri vals, and yet another bears off tbe prize. They wanterl energy: they dallied with fortune un. til their opportunity slipped by them ; they preferred rather to wander in pleasure's bower with un occupied hands than to burden their deli cate shoulders w ith honOJ'Il.ble and profitable toiL These occupy the lower and overcrowded planes of every occupati on and profession, while the others, starting indeed from t he same standpoint, but diverging be-times fro m the paths of thei r more easy-going companions, rise to higher levels, where greater freed o m of action is obtained, and wider fields of enterprise and success lay expanrled to the ey e.

P o urquoi f:1ut-il que ces belles p:1.ro l e~ soient déparées par d 'nutres qui oxpriment son refus de rpcevoir les se<'-Ours ùe l'Egli se. Comment n'n- t-il pns compris que ln mère des nations et, des gra nds gt.) ni es était celle qui devait recueillir sun dernier soupir ct lljoutcr il. sa renomm ée quelque chose de l'i mmorta lit é qu'elle •t I'C(j li C f.'en h ~ut ?

Ses profondes méditntions ont labouré ce l:trge front, comme le ft:> r déchire Je ~o l. Sa barbe ct ses clleYc ux blancs c0mme la neige encadrent mnje ~ tuenscment so n visn.ge; mais le tegard est som hre et désespéré. Oh! que la foi l'aurait rad ieusement illuminé aussi bien que l'âme! Quel éclair elle eù_t ,mis dans !'es yeux et qnel sourire sur 'ses lèvres! Victor Hn go n:t r[uît en 1802. Il n'avait pas quinze ans q11anrt iiJrUblin ses premiers vers. Il écrivait son J.Vf0 i:se swwtf des e<ucc pour les jeux floraux et recevait de Cllatea uln·i:tttd, alors le roi des lettres, le titre glorieux d'Enfant sublime. C'étaient les beaux jours. lA> j eune barde était chrétien et royaliste. Ses inspiratiens se puisâient aux so urces les plus pures. Les cieux entroH v raient leurs portiques étoilés à ses regards et le fi ls du roi -martyr lui disaiG des chants de triomphe. En tê! e çle ses œu vres appa ra i s~e nt (1818) les ''Odes et lla l hHl e~," chants enthousiastes et qui vibrent comme un <:uivre. J'ai des rêves de g uerre en mon âme inquiète; J'aurais été soldat, si je n'étais poète. Ne vous ét< >nnez point que j'aime les guerriers! Souvent, pleurar..t sur eux, dans ma douleur muette, J 'ai trouvé leur cyprè:~ plus beau que nos la uriers. Enfant, sur un tambonr ma crêche fut posée. flans un casque pour moi l'eau sainte fut puisée, Un soldat, m'ombrageant d'un belliqueux faisceau, De quelque vieux lambeau d'une bannière usée Fit les 1'1-nges de mon berr.eau. Les " Orientales" (1829) semblent emprunter au ciel des Pyramides leur éclat et au:ssi leur fraîcheur. Hélas! que j'en ai vu mourir de jeunes filles! C'est le destin. TI faut une proie au trépas. n faut que l'herbe tombe au tranchant des faucilles,

L'horrible vision .s.éteignit.-L'Empereur, Désespéré, poussa dans. l'ombre un cri d'horreur, Baissant les yeux, dressant ses mains épou v.antées; Les Victoires de marbre à la porte.sculptées, _Fantômes blancs deboqt hors du sépulcre obscur, Se faisait du doigt signe et. s'appuyant 'au mur Ecoutait,le titan pleurer dans les ténèbres. Et lui cria; Démon au:)( visions. funèbres, To~ qui me suis partout, que jamais je ne vois, Qui donc es-tu?- Je suis ton crime, dit la voix.La tombe alors s'emplit d'une !.umière étrange Semblable â la clarté de Dieu qmind il se venge; Pareils aux mots que vit resplendir Baltazar, Deux mots dans l'ombre écrits fla rn boy;tient sur César; Bonaparte, tremblant comme un enfant sans mère, Leva sa face pitie et lut: Dix-hui.t Erumaire! Le poète tombe tout à coup du sublime au burlesque fidèle à l,'axiôme des Romantiques: le beau, c'est le la_!d. Aussi prodique-t-il les termes les plus has et qui semblent empruntés au langage des balles. La poésie a, nul doute, le droit de flétrir le crime. Que 13es paroles brûlent le coupable comme avec un fer rouge, mais qu'elle évite un langage comme celui -ci. tout au plus digne d'un Arlequin: Te voilà dans leurs rangs, on t'a, on te harnache. Ils t" appellent tout haut grand hom mc, entre eux, ganache ..... . .......... Man pas vous tape sur le ventre. Entre Trop long paillasse et Chaix-d'Est-Ange pitre. Toi, spectre impérial tu bas la grosse caisse! Etc. Le "Revenant" des "Contemplations" (1856) est la charmante élégie d'une autre Rachel qui ne veut pas être coasolée, pas mên;~e par la ven~e d'un nouvel ange. Hélas! et songeant moins aux langes qu'au linceul, Elle disait: cet ange en son sépqlchre est seul!
