Tennysow is dead, and now be has passed behind that veil, of which be had a rare insight even while living, we may well drop his meaner title of " Lord" and recall hira as the J* Alfred Tennyson," whoinonr youth impressed us with sweet versea and noble thoughts. Elderly men thinking of the dead Tennyson will recall the spring time of their lives when they read bis poetry with enthusiasm and got by heart his lyrics. In those days the serious man could quote "In Memoriam " from beginning to end, and was wont to frame bis life on its philosophy, while the more common mortal would revel in such poems as j ■The Princess.' In much the same way their fathers, a generation earlier, quoted ficott, adored Bjron and wore turn-down collars. Men in their salad days read and absorb a stock of poetry, which lasts them for ihe remainder of their existence. It is interesting to notice that the thoughts and even the words of a great poet once fairly impressed on the human mind are indelible. A man over fifty rarely reads a poem, but he can recall thousands of lines that came to him thirty or forty years ago and which have been to him through life some sort of a solace and an occasional inspiration. The great poet, the true poet, lives in the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people who know little or nothing o£ tbe outward mas but a great deal of his inner son?. Carious tales here been told of Tennysoja'a mannerisms and eccentricities, but to those wbo are at all en rapport with his life work sucb records are superfluous. The outward man may have been of common clay bat the beautiful soul was there, the grand brain was there wbiob scattered star showers through the world for nearly half a century-and kept for its owner a supreme position amongst living writers. It would be difficult to determine the exact place of Tennyson on the roll of British poets for his work was done in a later time and under different conditions to those under wfcielr his arc at predecessors laboured. He was tbe supreme poet of the Victorian era and there appears to be no one at present upon whom his mantle may fitly fall. It is enough for as perhaps to know that his works are still living and will live and that till another gnat poet rouses mankind we have in tliam a rich treasure for which we may bo thankful. The good that a groat poet 1 does by raising and ennobling the thoughts aud aspirations of poor humanity is incalculable. Tennyson reigos in the minds and hearts of many hundred 'thousand human [beings, and hie rule is a gentle sway which moves men's minds to seek the true and the beautiful, >o despite all that is mean and fftiar, to cherish > Inve snd teiideraeeg, ant! tp discard and aiaiioa, teuton

Mr Williams was eulogising the Maori lay raiders. One of these nobleminded roen ha said, had in his ohaige a dr>g left with him for a time by its Native owner. This dog killed some sheep belonging to a neighbouring squatter, to the value of £SO. The run-holder was coming down upon tho poor Natives of the village for the money, when the lay-reader met him and said, " Though the dog « nut mine, I will pay the damage j I can afford it bettor than these poor people."

A recent London cablegram states that tbe Bev. H. D. Preneh read a paper at the Church Congress on tbe neglect of religious education in tbe colonics, speaking to which Bishop Moorehouse implied that the proportion of criminal convictions in Victoria was increasing owing to the want of religious education in the | schools. Secular education, ho contended, had proved totally powerless to dimmish crime. The most serious crimes iWere sommitted by the best odu. eated Criminals. It was hopeless to expect children to attend before or after school hours, or to abandon part of their Saturday holiday, in order to receive religious instruction. He was delighted to seel that the Victorian Legislative Assembly had discovered its mistake, and taken the first step towards religious education, by passing a resolution to restore'the name of our dear Lord to the reading bookß, whence; it had been excluded! by bastard Liberalism. He prayed our rulers to turn their backs upon the desolating sec tiler system, which bad left so many wrecks in its train. Wears satisfied with our buyer's selections ol Spring Brass Fabrics.
