What, tlien, is Taste hut those internal powers Active, and strong, and feelingly alive To each fine impulse ? A discerning sense Of decent and sublime, with quick disgust Prom things deformed, or disarranged, or gross In species ? This nor gems, nor stores of gold, Nor purple state, nor culture can bestow, But God alone, when first His sacred Hand Imprints the secret bias on the soul. —Akenside. "This iB an age of party government, which is to be regretted," said Mr Atmore, M.P.. the letter carriers' dinner at Wellington on Saturday last. "There will be better results whan party lines are noi drawn so sharply as at present.'" ;\I» Atmore went on to remark that however much the newspaper? might make o1 party differences, there was* no real feeling between member? in tneir private relationships. *V hat aas more important than iho mskniji 01 laws was the character of (he people. The whole House was mi so progressive and democratic as the people themselves. It they wan tod progress in the Government they must have a perfect system of representation. There should be the best possible machinery to allow the people to express their opinions on big questions; in the electoral machinery of the present time we were hopejessly lacking. Every man in the Ileuec was trying to do his best .'.or the people —it was a question of uicttr '.ls. One of the judges who visited the Whangarei Show had some intoresiing remark? to make on breeding general, and in support of his views he pointen out champion stock which had. m the course of many years, revolved from very inferior grades. "tt i* simply a question of mating tn<> pick of animals, and the result is the bunding up of a magnificent beast iron', a constitutional point of view,' iie said. "Think what it would mean tn human beings.'' he added, as the touched on the subject of eugenics, "and it is not strange that, although in animals we breed Crons only the finer! and most robust stock, the wisdom of such a policy is never entertained as tar as the human race is concerned. \\ o let roiuiv —at least, we do not stop them --consumptives and imbeciles, and then we marvel at the deterioration of our race; yet we oen t hear of any one picking out his worst animals for the propagation of their species. Some day, he opined, the human race would be 'orod up on the same linos of pnr.e stock, and with the good results which has been achieved in the animal world."
