The age of realism it has been called, and pot unjustly. What does it mean? what is its use? what doth it profit * are the questions that are most fre quently om the lips of mankind. A critical, wiilitarian, commercial time is impatient of poetry. The coal of Pennsylvania and Nova Seotia, the silver of Colorado and the Cobalt, the lumber of Oregon and Quebec, the corn of Illinois and Minnesota, and the wheat of Dakota and Manitoba, inter est more than the strongest and sweet- est songs of the veeasional bard who dares to sound his pipe. All the heap ed wealth of all the world will not open the gates of heaven, but the poet's song, inspiring to action, to love to truth to charity, gives man, even on this earth, &n earnest of things to come. The daily press has its full page and more of market reports; occasionally it grudgingly allots a scant corper to ay poesy." The ordinary man feels a little diffident in express- ing verse, = poetry is at once the root and flower of all knowledge. In all ing or printing or books were known, the th ts that glowed in the minds and hearts of the seeing ones--the prophets, the seers--burst forth in =» flame of poesy; and at the height of the nations' civilization the minds that have solaced and guided their fel- lows have been the fashioners of verse. Shakespeare and Burns, Words- worth and Tennyson, - Whittier and Emerson are the true givers of spir- itual life to the nations. TAKE TWO--SHAKESPEARE. Try as a man may he cannot get away from the influence of poetry. He is rocked into being by the soéth ing cradle-song of his mother. When he leads his bride to the altar the marriage hymn gives a celestial glam- or to the event, and when he is borne forth to rest beside his fathers the requiem solenmly sanctifies the oeca- sion. From the cradle to the grave "heaven-hred poesy," whether he will or no, follows a man through his earthly journey. Poetry, heaven-bred or born! That is a high claim. Certain it is that the art of poetry cannot be learned. The art of verse-making may be, but that is another matter. It is possible to manufacture flowers so natural in appearance that they may even de- ceive the eyes of birds and bees, but the honey and the perfume are lncking. In true poetry there is an aroma, a prevading Joriunie that ne art can supply. Shakespeare, Burns, Whittier ac were born poets. Gips For Farmers F. W. Musselwhite, 254 Victoria street Kingston, writes "Uncle Josh" as follows : "1 am always interested in "The Tips to Farmers," by Uncle Josh, and would like to contribute the following account of what the boys can do when given the opporuumity to use their brains on the farm. "A young English lad, in the em- ploy of F. R. Mallory, Holstein breed- er, Sidney township, writes to his lease you it will to Hl That poetry is neglected in these latter days is pot altogether' the fault of the erowd. Many trie poets have sold their birthright for 2 Jute of ttage. Song, beating within their Sind for freedom, has had its wings clipped and been taught more profit- uble flights: but the force of a Kip: hug, the fine interpretation of nature and humble kKfe of a Riley, find an echo in every heart. Poetry is the finest gift of the mind to the human race. The may, restore sight and hearing to the blind and deaf but the cases of tach mir. acles are rare. But, to the spiritually blind and deaf, poetry daily opens a new world of sight and sound. A man reads Wordsworth's words, "The moon doth with delight Look round her when the heavens are bare Waters on a starry night Are beautiful and fair," And a new world is opened to his gaze. He reads Browning's "That's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over, Lest you should think he never could : recapture. | The first fine careless rapture 1" ' races before writ- | and ever after nature has new music for his ears. He hears the ery of hu- masity for sympathy and love as ex- in Burns and Hood and Mes, owning, and a new heart is born within him. Mankind. is not un. grateful for the blessings bestowed on him by the poets. In the temple of fame they occupy the most exalted places, "The poets, who on earth have made us heirs Of truth and puce delight by heavenly lays," to use the linés of one of the test of them, Wordsworth, have oe. an earthly immortality, Poetry is essential to a eo Jifo. A mind without poetry does not live, it merely exists. Cultivate a taste for poetry; it gives sweetness and light to life. 'Beauty Jand truth, patriotism and religion it turns to forms that can be co! , and gives them "a local habitation and a name." Jet a man take the songs of Shelley and Keats and Tennyson to the woods and meadows with him and nature will have new meaning for his brain, new beauty for his eyes, new rausic fof his cars. Let him gather lessons of life from the pages of Shakespeare and Burns, of Hugo and Goethe, and take them with him into the haunts of men and he will be bet- ter able to sustain the weak, sympa- thize with the suffering and help the erring.
