The buet in the church of Straiford-os-Avon is doubtless the most trastworthy representation of the dead dramatist. Hawthorne calls it, in Our 0ld Home,™ s * dull mask,” and describes it a3 a reprosentation of ‘personage of a ruddy Eoglish complexion, with a ressonably- oapacious brow, - intolligent end., quicklg-ob- servant eyes, a nose carved slightly outward, 2 long, queer uppor-lip, with 2 month = little unclosed beveath it, and cheeks oonsiderably developed in tho lower part and beneath the chin.” This is a burgher of Btratford, uot & post of the world ! " Tho fourth and finel argament against Shak- spezro is his indiference to tho plays. ‘ He never claimed them. He was auxions to ba credited with *‘Lucrecs " and “Venus and Adomis,” but ho apparently took no prido in * Hawmlet,” and ** Othello,” and the * Merchant of Venico.” The plays wera not all published at tho time of his death. Tp to 1593, his name does not appear on the title-pagos of the dramas thea in print, Afterthat date, it is addod. The suthorship was generally ettributed to bhim before, and ho did not deny it; but neither did ho dony that of other plays which are now known not to be his, Conld an anthor bo &0 supremely indifferent to tho fate of the childron of his brain ? Bacon's main claims to the authorship of tho plays may be reduced to five : Tirst, ho possessed nll the knowledgo which the unknown suthor displaye. *Thia gocs with- out saying,” na tho Atalinn proverb Lasit. He, Liko the unknown, kmew most of law; bat his education almost fulfilled the idoal of ** every- thing about something, and somothing about oy- erything.” Dr. Bucknill says, in the book al- ready mentioned, that * There is moro of medi- cine than of law in Bacon's ¢ ssays® and * Ad- vancement of Loarning.'” - Thete is a notowor- iby coincidence on this question of mediciuo. The expreasions of the plavs coincido exactly with the views of Galen and Hippocrates, Ba- con w8 especially fomiliar with the writings of these authors, Second, Bacor served o apprenticeship at play-making. Ile is known to be the author of several excellent macques. Even as late as De- cember, 1615, he propared a masque for James L, which lie expected to sell for £2,000. His pious mother-writes, on ono occasion, that her two sous are having playa st Antony Bacon's Louse, ** very much to the delight of Essex and his jovial crew, but, I fear, to the peril of my sozs’ souls.” Third, Bacon had the leisure to write tho plays. He was & brieflees young barrister, deep- Iy in debt, with nothing to do save study. When he beczme Attorney-General in October, 1613, the plays ceased to appear. During the three years between this time and that of Shakspeare's death, the latter wrcte not s line, except a atray bit of doggerel now and then. Fourth, Bacon had a cause for writing the plays. Hehad to raise money; for he was, as we have said, deeply in debt. What more nat- ural than that ho should take this easy method of coining sovereigns, and should use &8 an agent the man who was ehareholder, munager, and actor, in the Globs Theatre, and could, therefore, readily serve his ends ? Tifth, Bacon was possessed of considerable Ppoetical power. George Darley calied him & “ poetical imaginator.” Macaulsy credits him with postical power. Some of Lis mssques -7 sonnets contain beautiful passsges, and his rical version of the Psnlms shows ** an elegance, care of ragthmic flow, and patietio sweotness, not anworthy of George Herbert himself." There are some minor proofs of Bscon's claims. Shakspeare was suspected, in his Life- time, of acting as the ngent of another. His menuecripts were, 88 Ben Jonson tells us, with- out ablot. If Lo copied them from tacon's originals, this would paturally be so. The play of ““Troilus and Creseida™ appeared in 16CO. Tts preface ennounces it thus: ** A nevor-writor toan ever-reader. Newes.” This **nover-wri- ter” was utterly inpplicable to Shakspears. Judge Holmes has made a list of many hondred paralielisms in the works of Bacon and Shai- spearo. Perhaps the most remarkable is in the play just mentioned. Inthe *Advancemont of Learning,” Bacon quotes Aristotlo as saying that “Young men ars no fit auditors of moral philos- ophy," beceuss * They are not settled from the boiling heat of their affections, nor sttempered with time and experience.” 'This passago occars in “Troilus and Cressida "': Not o much Uglike young men, whom Aristotle thought Urfit £ hear morsf philosop The reasous son sllege do mors condnce To the hot paesion of distemperod blood “Pazn tomako up afree detormination Ewizt right and wrong. The trulii is, that Ariatotle spesks of nolitical, ot morel, philosophy, Bacon snd Shakspesre make the samo wistake, snd put it in the same words! Prof. Jobn Weiss tried to explain these coincidences, in & lecture in New York City last week, on the hypothesis that Bacon snd Shak- spearekmew each other well, and werewont o in- terchange thoughte. If this, howover, was 2ll, is it not strunge that Eacou, who had the focdness of an old goseip for meutioning the sayings and doings of his intimates, never mentions Shak- speare onco, and that Shaltspeare preserves the same dead silence about Bacon ? Thiis is readi- Iy explainable if Shakspearo was only the mask Bacon wore on the stage. There are more proofs etill. The * Comedy of Errors ™ is an slmost litoral rendering of tho Afencechmi of Plautus. This latter was not translated into English before 1585. In 1594, the « Comody of Errora™ was acted ot o fosti- val, for which Bacon farnished s masque. Bacon was in the habit of quoting from Plsutus. In 1607-'8, Bacon was busy on his * Characters of Julius and Augustus Cwsar.” Very roon after, Shakspearo produced his ** Julfus Crosar.” Shakspeste's bistorical plaga cover the period from the deposition of Richard IL. to the birth of Elizabeth, with one exception,—tne roign of Henry VIL Bacon's papers contain a history of that reign, begtnaing abruptly with the cloze of Shakspeere's precediog play. It is “a story without s beginning; tho beginning of it is found ir the drama.” - Again, when tho states- man Davis was to be presentod st Court, Bacon wrote him, asking him to mention his corre- spondent to the King, and closed with this sen- tence : ** 8o, desiring you to bo good to concealed poets, I continue,” ete. Finally, the famous “ Matthew potecript™ comes into play. Bir Tobie Matthew was Lord Bacon’s Boswell. At tho end of a letter to Bacon, written after all the plays were in print, ho puts this postsript : P. 8.—The most prodigious wit that ever I knew of my nation, and of this side of tie se, is of sour Lord- ship's name, though he b known by another. What can this mean? If Sir Tobie writos se- riotgly, who but Shakspesre could fill the bill ? The objections to'the hypothesis that Bacon wroto “Shakepearo,” aro, besides thoss already stated, his concealment of the fact, even on hi death-bed, nnd bis laci of tho necossary gonius. The low reputation of the stage at that time, tho daogor of political play-writtng by sa active poli- tician, tho ambition for place and power at the Bar snd in the State,—theso are offered to explain tho concealment. It is urged, too, that Dacon's death was sudden, and that he was too busy in repenting of bis ins to bo embitious then. Ho certainly had genius for other things thau play-writing, despite Prof. Draper's recont attack upon his memory; and, if Cariylo be right in suring that genius is uni- sersal, that Napoleon **had words in him lize great Austerlitz battles,” then wo may be par- doned for thinking that the greatest, wisest, meanest of mankiod ' was great snd wiee enough %0 write the plays of Shakepeere. Believers in the grest dramatist will, howsver, alwass rely upon the argument of ** internal evidence,” and this intangiblo obfaction cannot be met, How- ever much the believers in Bacon may strive, they will find, in general, that their readers are conviuced agamst thoir will, and are of the same opinion etill. It seems to the average mortal unfair to impeach the famio of & man who can- ROt answer, save through the buoks that msy be bis. Hawthorne sketches hbumanity in the story ho tetls of himself and Mrs. Browning, in bis “English Note-Books.” Ho soys: * Wo also talked of Miss Bacon ; and I doveloped some- thing of that Iady's theory rospecting Shak- speate, groatly to the horror of Mrs, Browning. - . . Onthowhole. Ilike her the better for loving the man Sheksponre with apersonal love.” EDUCATION AND LITERATURE IN GERMANY. LIFE AND LITERATURE IN THE FATHERLAND. By Joux F. Humsr, #vo,, pp. &8 New York: * Borfbuer, Armstrong £ Co. The value of this book lies in its statistica ‘with regard to the echools and the book-trade in Gormany. There ia much other matter present- ed concorning Lome-life in Germany, the mood of the peoplo during the late war with France, snd the varioue points of interest to be visited by the traveler; but most of this is to be found in similar shape elsewhero, That which Mr. Hurst has to tell us, which bas not been heard bofore, at least with such amplitude and exactness of detail, relates to the system of edu- cation and the habits of suthorship pursued in *the Fatherland.” These aro the foatures in the constitution of the German nation which de- cido ita strong individuality, which mold its character, and croate its power; and 1t is to them that other nations are dirocting their etudy to discover the elements of Germany's cminencs and prosperity, and with tho wish to emulate her grand example. Mr. Hurst bas spent a geod portion of his best years'in tho university-citics of Gormany, taking advantago of the distinguishod literary and edu- cational facilities they sfford. IHis prolouged experience among the schoole, his intimacy with teachors, and suthors, and booksellers, and his vractice in the art of bookmaking, have quali- fied him for amassing and classifying tho infar- ‘mation which foreigners neod upon just these subjects. His book is divided, for convenience, into five parts, noder tho respective titles: The Howme—Tastes and Usages; Schools—Great nnd Small; Books—Writing, Making, Selling; Ger- mavy in Fighting Mood; and Knapsack and Alpeostock. it i8 to the sccond and third parts, 8 by far the most importaut, that we shall confine our attention. Begiouing with a survey of the condition of education in the various States of Europe, the Latin countries of the South amaze us with the extent of tkeir ignorance, Italy, with a popula- tion of 27,000,000, hss 18,000,000 inhabitants who can neither read nor write. In 1866, there were 1,814,938 childron in her echoole—that is, one- sixteenth of her population at that date. In Up- per Itals, about 46 per cent of tho populace are without any instraction whatever. In Lower Italy, 86 per cent are similarly destitute of the means of education. A general apathy prevails with regard to primary instruction. In but few districts—as in Tarin, where the school-children conatitute one-eighth of the population—is there manifesc any special zeal in the matter. In Soain, which bas o population of 17,000, 000, nemly 12,000,000 are unable o resd or writo. A late ofiicial report makes the surpris- ing statement thet, out of 72,157 Municipal Councilors, 12.479 can neather read nor write ; and that 422 Burgomasters, 938 Adjuncts, and 11,119 Nagadores of the Municipalitics, do not know their letters, and must make s cross under thewr siguature. Racent statistics upon educa- tion in France ehow, in oleven dopartments, s percoatage of 6-10 of the population witbout io- struction ; in twelve departmonts, a percentage of 19-25; intwenty-thiee, of 25-33%4; in twent; six, of 8314-66 2-8. The most ignorsnt districs ia Brotagre, or, wo might say, that comprising the whole of Central France. ~Public instruction is more general ia the Department of Doubs than avywhero else in tho country. Elementary educasion is freo and compulsory in Portugal. 1f parcats and guardisas noglect to send their children to schiool, they are mulcted in a small fine. If they allow their chuldren to attain the ago of 18 without learning to read snd write, they are deprived of their political rights for tho torm of five years. Education is purely secular,~the Church being allowed no interfer- ence with it. - Toachers, however, must instruot their pupils in the fundamental acticles of the Cathiolic foith, end prepare them for their first communion, " The Government of Sweden aud Norway makes generous provision fur popular education, and is constantly enlarging its plans for the promotion of this grest object. The sum total expended in 1871 for the support of schools amounted to abont 8,852,880 thalers, Since 1866 & groat reform Lis been in progress in the schiools of Austriz. At that time tno yoke of ibe Catholic dominion over education xas broken, aud Protestants were allowed tho liberty of sharing in the work of dispensing instraeticn. Stll, its echolastic institutions are inferior to thoso of tho foremost nations of Europe. Tha schools of 2 higher grade have only cne, two, or ‘at most, three, Faculties. Its epecial educa- tional institutions are 3 Theological Facultics, 11 Low Academics, 4 Commercial Acadomies, 6 Chirurgical Iustitutes, 4 Forest-Culime Iusti- tuten, 1 Agricultural Academy, 82 Theological Sehools, 16 Obstetrical Schioole, 2§ Agricultural Schools, 7 Nautical Schools, 5 Mining Scnools, 8 3lilitary Academics, 8 Special Military Schools, 8 School Companies, 9 Military Trainiug Schools, and 4 Cadet Tossitat In the Prussian Provinces and in the Kingdom of Saxony, 34 of 1 percont of tho children ace without instruction; in the Province of Bran- denburg, the percentage is still lower; in Westphalia, it is over 1 per cent; in the Provinco of Poecn, where the language preaents the greatest difficulties, tho percentage & 16 per cont; in Bavarin, it ranges from4 to 13 per cent. The Parlisment of Germany is con- tinually legislatiog on its schools with a view to their improvement. Sinco the Franco-German war, the tendency is to reducs the use of Latin in the lectura-rooms, to giveless attention to the French sad more tothe Englia, and to in- crease the critical study of the German lunguago and literature. Thero is also an efort making to limt the bounds of religious instruction. Germauy has twenty universities,—that is, one for every 2,000,000 ivbabitants; while France bas soventecn large academies and but one upi- versity, that of Daris. Switzerland has & uni- vorsity for evory 400,000 inhatitanta, and Austria one for every 5,000,000. Formerly the uuiversities of Germany were sustained priocipally by landed estates, batat presoat thew support is derived from Stato funds znd the fees of students. The yearly appropri- ation for the nino universities of Prussia and the Acndemy of Munster amounts to 1,492,211 thalers. The biglest salary in any university is 1,565 thalors, whic: is received by a Professor in Borlin. Since the orizin of the German. uni- versities, they bave bad the constitution of an independent commonweaith. Their laws ood mackinory of government are almost wholly sop- arate from tho State. Each hus its court of jus- tice, and tries ita students for all penal offenses. In trath, the student may be considered a citizen of the University, instead of the State, aud is Bubject only to the regulations and control of the former institution. But the entice universi- ty-svstem of Germanyis undergoing rovision, and many chenges in its polity have becn effect- ed during the lust twenty-four years, The aouual ontlay of & German student is, on tue average, from 200 to 309 thalers, includ- ing sttendance at lectures, board, fuel, room- Tent, books, stationery, and incidentals. The majority of American studeats, having more cx- pensive habits and greater means to draw upon. will consume s much larger sum. The price of lectures 18 about the =ame in 21l tha univeritice, At Jena, the cost of gix lecturesa week on Chem- istry aod Physics, is 10 thalers for a term of five months. For the use of the chemical laboratory, the charge 18 30 thalers per term. Lectures on Theology, Philosop by, Atincralogy History, and maoy cther subjects, cost 5 thalers esch per term. No' text-booka are regarded as esaential, yet thoy are of mssistence in many cages. Inthe opinion of Mr. Hurst, the Uni- versity of Berlin excels all others in the extent of its facilities. Tubiogenisequally good, or per.. bapa superior, in Philology} Gottingen in Ju- Thoology; Heidelberg in Phyeics; and Vienos in Modicine. If the Ameri- can student wishos to remain two years at the uaiversitios, e will do well to pass the first year &t some one of the others, and tho second year 8t that of Berlin. If he have but one year to spend in study, be should procesd directly to Borlin. * As the universitiea form a sort of re- publican confederation, a stadent can enter one at the exact point where he loft off at another. The German students who_indulge in travel during vacations mansge esdily to do so atan expenso of about 3 thalers per day. Americans gonerally would choose to bemore luzurious, but Mr. Hurst mentions one who socomplished the pzssage from Nosw York and back, a residence of eight monthsat s university, & six months’ tour through Germany, Itely, Switzerland, France. Holland, Dolgium, Evgland, and Scot- land, providing himself with necessary clothing and appliances in tho meantime, and all at a cost of £1,100 in gold, The expense of living in the south of Germuny is much less than in the north, At Tabingen, tho matriculation fee is £4.50; tho fes for a single course of lectures, occwrring two or three times per week, $1.10 for the semostor; for lectures occurring fivo or six times per weok, 2 to £2.40 per semester. Clinical lectures,> with practice in the hospital aud aboat town, rate from $6 to 88 persemester. Tho eademic year begius about the middle of Octcber, and closes about the middlo of August, the procite date is not fixed. Recesses occur at Christrans, Easter, and Whitsuntide, One may attend 2 university for yeurs, and never come in contacs with the Professors, or he may establish the friendliest relations with thom. Thoy are always acceszible, generally hoapitable, sud do not consder it dorogatory to thoir dignity to treat thoir pupils as socizlly thew oquals. They socure their posi- tion by dint of superior scholarship, and sustain it by incessant application to books. If they manaze to keop in the van of progressive learn- ing, thoy lecture to crowded audiences ; if they fall behind in the race, their benches are desert- ed. Of their appearance sod manners jo the lecturo room, Mr. Hurst gives some interestiug examples. Prof. Hengsteuburg, who bas beon a distingunished member of the Theological Facal- ty in Berlin for fifty years, and is now himself s0me years peat 80, speaks in a largo room which has not & vacsut eect. s peculiar style of de- livery is thus described : e bad a drawling, Larsh voice when ona high key ; but bis lower tones Wwere not unpleasant, yot often o 1ow as to make his werds unintelligible. ~ Though he wonld call bis posture ultting, be yet furned in bis chair ; s100d up ; sat down again ; wheeled around on oncside ; roated his elbows on the back of his chatr ; looked out o the window st the falling leaves; then sprang up again ; puiled his chair into position, or out of position, as the case might be ; dropped dovwn into it agun; wheelod round; tugged at bis coat ; buttoned and unbuttoned 1t repestedly ; and all the while read menuecript, which it was s wonder, smid all his twilchings, 'was not torn into fragments and scattered round him, Thusls lecture went on until the clock- stroko stwpped his gyrations, and seot the galvauic man out of the room. His voico wes at conversive us his body. He might ssy one-balf of & word in a whis- per inaudible to many of his students, while the other was roared out with 4 lion-like violence that called to mind some of his editorials in the Ecangelicar Church Gazette. Prof. Hitzig, of Heidelberg, who ia reckoned among the Nestors of German learuing— 16 tall, angular, and awkward to excess. If the ¢ veriost countryman who brings vegetables to the mar- Ket-loor of Faneuil Hall were placed in the rostram of any Senate, he would Rot proseat a more abomunsble violation of all tho maxims of elecutionary tasto and exso than this seme archaealogist, . . .

The catalogue of ancient and modern German suthors includes sbove 50,000 names. Shultz’s Directory for tho German Dook-Trade for 1873 conteins the namo and addresa of 1,068 different pub- lishing bouses. “Trom 1851 to 1873, avout 200,000 new publications were issued in Germany. From 1851 to 1959, the average num- ber per snoum was about §,500. In 1868, the number of 10,000 was reached ; in 1869, 11,805, which was tho highest during twenty-two years. The lowest was 8,326, in 1851; 1870 produced 10,1085 1871, 10,659; 1872, 11,137.”" These statistics ioclude sll publications, great and small, from the pamphlet of a dozen pages to the encyclopedia of ns many folio volumes, The expense of manafacturing books is less in Germany than olsewhers in Europe, or America. This isdue to three causes: Firat, tha cost of printing materizle, and of composi- tors' worls is low. Secondly, the books are never ‘boand, but merely folded, stitched, and put into paper-covers ; aud, lastly, they are neverstereo- typed. The German scholar cares nothing for the outside appearance of his books. He values them for the knowledge they contain, snd not for purposes of ornementstion. It is his habit to bind only his best yolumes, and these in plain paper-bosrds. He pays from 15 to 18 cents for the binding in thir etyle of an octavo ; for bind- ing the eame in balt-Turkey, 40 cents. The true German bibliophilo prefers not to buy & bound volumo; but takes the rough copy to bis own bindor, who knows his taste and will suit it-exactly, Copyright books are, on the svernge, 30 per cent lugher in Germany than in America; but books on which no copyright is paid are much cheaper. For example, Schiller'’s works can be bought for a thaler and Goethe's for three thalers. A superior edition of Gosthe, in six large octavo volumes, with steel plates and half-morocco binding, can be had for $4.80 gold ; Lessing's complata works, in ten volumes, small octavo, bomud in fire, mey be bougat for $240; Humboldi's * Cosmos," woll- bound, $1.80; Jesn Pauls works, ten volumes, well bound, $1.40; Zachokke's nov- els in twelve volumes, well bound, £3.80. It isthehabit of the German bookseller, on tho receipt of a new work, to send copies of it to his customers for their examination. It is expected that tney will return the books with leaves nn- cat within o fortuight, if it be not agreeable to purcbase them, Leipeig, which is the centro of the book- trade, not only of Germany, but of tue world, has 258 firms of publishers and doslers. Its soptemscy in the trade dates from 1765, when the publishers transferred the bulk of their operations thither from Frank- fort-on-the-Main. Leipsig also boasts of being the musical centre of the world, and contains about thirty-five houses devoted to the pablica- tion and sale of music. The leading firm is that of Breithopf & Hartel, which has been in oxist- ence 160 years. This house irsues 12,000 pro- ductions annually, and employs 300 me. Tho music-engraving establishment of Roder em- ploya 140 artisans, produces yearly 24,000 plates of notes, consuming 39,000 pounds metal, and ‘prints 4,000,000 sheets of music. A Salt Lake paper mentions & case of paternal correction which will strike the reader as ex- treme. A Major (whero Majors are cheap), like JeeaTnsm, had s danghter, who was passing fair, and, like the same person, he exifed ber from bome. Ho disliked hor, but she made friends elsewhere, and got schooling and clothing from the many admirors of her gentle character. The father olaimed his daughter from them, and brought suit against them. The girl's testimony upeot his case, and he sought revenge. He placed herself and trunk in o buggy, drove over to a lime-kilo, and, breaking the trunk into splinters of & convenient shape, consumed ev- erythiog in the kiln. The young lady was nat urally indignant, and walked back to her friends. ‘The newspaper-reporter thinks this *a 8trango proceeding on the fathoer's part.” So will every- body olee, while somo msy characterize it as a burning shame. —_—— Among the interesting features of the Craz- Le¥ Ross abduction case, and not the least so, was the libel published by the Reading (Pa.) Eagle, charging . Ross with bigamy, snd alleg- ing that bis former and only lawful wife was the abductor of the child. A criminal suit was brought by Mr. Ross aguinst the Eagle, and Messrs. HAwLEY & RrrTen, proprietors, were couvicted. Judgo Arrisox had decided upon imprisoning both parties, bat, reflecting that the 1nformation came from & quartor euppcsed to be rehable, mutigated the punishment by inflict- ing & fine of $1,000. The fine was paid, and thus ended tho suit. INDUSTRIAL PARTKERSHIPS. 7o the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: 1t is » good time, between Thankagiving and Clristmas, to lay plans for the coming year. It is 8 good time, this year, when reports of the closing of factories, the discharge of working- men, and the increase of crime burden the mails and wires, for employens to bethiok themselves whether they eannot do something which shall make the lot of their employes, hard at the best, & little lighter and pleasanter. Cannot they give their men a Christmas gift which shall bless the recelvers sod the givers alike? Wo are not pleading for charity. That too often par- alyzes the hand that receives it. It is the prolifioc parent of peuperism. We have in mind s nobler apd s better thing than this. We would have employers form industrial partnerships with their men. The phrase may give the wrong idea. The manufaz- torer might ask : “Am I to let Tom the team- ster and Peter the portcr help msnago my. busi- ness *" An industrial partnership does not in- volvo thigat all. Its main plan, susceptible of modification to meet the peculiarities of any form of business, is this : The employer averages his profits for a term of years. He torns his busi- ness into a joint-stock corpany, and atlots about one-tlurd of the stock, at par, to bis employes. ‘Their ehares can be paid for 1 certain fixed in- stallments. The employer then fixes a rato of profit somewhat above the average rate aiready found and aunounces that the surplua of the net profita, over and above the amount needed to oy this fixed dividend on all the stock, uhall bo divided into two equal parts, one of which shall 80 to bim and tho other shall be divided amoug ail the workingmen, whother rharcholders or proportion to the amount of wages each ned duriug the year. This plan, which has been jn successful operation in England siuca 1563, has theso ad- vaotages: The employer’s absolute control of tho management is inno way interfered with, for he still holds two-thirds of the siock. He runs norisk whatevor. Forthe stock he has oquals, st par, the wholo value of bis investment st the timo when the extra shares were issued, and Lo mus: get on thom a better return timn he has hitherto bad_before the nou-starehoiders got anytiing. Thus, if his investment has been sicldivg him nu average of 5,000 on £100,000, or 6 per cent, and he fixes the new rate at 10 per cent, and keeps two-thirds of the $150,000 stock iesued, be clears 210,000 before the working- mep, a8 such, get anything. In other words, the bonus to Isbor is but part of the oxtra profit which labor, working under snch a system, will secure to capital. Thus the Euinuc self-inzer- est dictates the adoption of thus plan by the em- ployer. As for the men. they get profitable in- vestmeot for their savings and a dividend on their labor, Their condition i8 smazin bet- tered. Thus the ruls of well-doing wo! both wass. T Tmay not be apparent, at first, how theso ex- tra profits, which give capital ‘more than its previous profit on more thun 1¢s previous awount and thea pay a bonus to labor besides, are to be realized. The explanation is simple. The ar- rangement makes the prosperity of zll directly involve that of each. Henco each strives for all, because he knows that in so doing he is making money for Limself. Strikes do mot oo~ car. Mooted points are settled by mutual con- cession or by arbitration. There i3 no waste of material or time. The men will not allow it. Thev superintend esch other and they demand hoaest work from each otber, because such work swolls tho iucome of every one of them. In fact, this plan effects the wished-for end of making the interests of capital and labor iden- tical. In sketcning its advantages, we have drawn, not upon faucy, but upon fact. Up to 1885, the Briggs Brothers,.a firm owning two or three large collieries in Yorkshire, Eng., were at daggera drawn with theic men. ‘e latter had & semi-proverbisl sayiog, *All “coal-owners i devils, but Driggs is the princo of devils.” Strikes were conutant. Work was pursued under armed terrorism. There was misery, dissipation, sod hate amopg the men, and the masters did not make over b per cent on their investment. They adopted _ the plan we have described. Adl'the rosults we have sketched followed. Trouble censed. The best feoling prevailed, In the first your, they cleared 10 per ceut on the wholo capital, and divided & surpius of $17,000 among themselves and their men. In the third year, the bonus to labor was §17,500. - Tho mines have becn worked, ever since, on this system. Other large English firms have adopted substantially the same plan. Among them is that of W. H. Smith & Co., who haves practical monopoly of the business of book and paper-gelling at the railway-stations and on tho trains throughout Evgland. \ y Will not American employers thing of this thing? They can benefit tliemselves and- their workmen if thoy will but tryit. If the men who are reducing production in the iron, and cotton, and wool icduetrics would but form ia- dustrial partnerships with tbeir men, they coufd probably run on full time through the winter, keep all their workmen and workwomen busy, and undersell all their compotitors in the mar~ kot. 1t is not likely, indeed, that the employes of any firm would take up the stock offered them as soon a3 _they had the chauce. ‘They might have eaved no money hitherto, and they would distrust Danaos e2 dona_serenles. But this feoling would soon disappear. Their slowness ;0 take shares would not hinder the success of the experiment; however. The promised bonus on labor would etill spur them on to honest work. It 18 important to remember that there is all tho difference in the world bo- tween & drudgo, who gets 2 tized sum of money for a fixed number of bours speut in work, whother that work is_pocd or bad, and a mao who knows that every bit of skill, and ingenuity, and {horonghness Le ean put into his work will be represented 1n the dividend that swaits him attha end of the yesr. In this simple fact, which only needs to be montioned to be zd- mtted, hies the great rexson for the sure success industrial partnership.

Whittier's beautifal aud appropriate autumn song-wreath, brightens a reminiscence of the Quaker poets, brother and sister, which may interest gome who, at the bid- diog of the bard's megic pen, bave roamed “ Among the Hills™ of New England, or felt ita Snow-Bound memories and ‘*Flemieh picturea of old days” mako their eves *to gothor dew,"— ty-wa; OF Ve Jova s Losnosd ke, Ana dear and early friends, tha few Who yet reraain. 1t wea many years 830, of an August after- noun, that I ssw, for the first and only time, face to face, the Quaker poet, in his own home and that of his sister,—the place where he still lives. Thisis not, a3 eome think, the home- stead which sppears in the frontispisce of Snow- Bound, avd is g0 famuliar to us in cbromos. That is farther up the river, on the banks of the Merrimac, *‘stream of my fathers, sweetly 8till,” in the limits of the Town of Haverhill, Mass. The present houseis in Amesburg; an unpretentious wooden house,—nothiog in its extornal aspect to mark it off from the other houses of che village. Ay impression, youthful and sentimental, was oo of disappointment at finding nothing characteristic and quaint, sug- gestive of poetical associations, and appropriate to the abode of genius, Yet, once across the threshold, one felt at every step the different atmosphere of this from the neizhbor-houses with their village smartness snd finery. The furniture was plain and old-fasbioned,—partly, I suppose, bocause the poet'’s verses had not then brought much money to his purse, and partly because the homely styles suited better tho simple habits of the inmates of the Louse. "My companion, & prostic cousin of the Whittier family, somowhas skepti- cal of tho practical value of verse-making, whispered her prediction that Joho always would be poor, Everywhere, however, were evidences of exquisite aud delecate taste, and of scrupulous noataess of Lousekeeping. On the fire-frame, whoso brasa kuoba aud andirons shone bright with carefnl polishing, stood a Parian vase of harebells, which, Elizabeth told mo, were tho favorite flower of her mother, whose portrait hung abovo them. That beantiful placid face of the gentfo Quaker women!—I seo it still looking down, as if from heavenly heights, npon all the commotions and jarrings of earth, calm, serene, and holy, in tho sweotness of an ineffabio peace. And tho daughter,—her patient, suffering, car- nest, toarful eyes gazing up with such an inex- pressible longicg at the portrait, and off with such a proud, fond, yearning sisterly affection, after the brother whose welfare sho told me, a3 he left tho room, was all the iuterost ehe had remaining in oarth since hor mother's death. “It is only for my brother I wish to etay,” stie eaid. ** Is would be 50 lonely without me. And yet,” she 2dded, glancing at tho barelells, * I love this boautiful world of God. although' I long _Bome- times to be at rest.” Then, quickly, a8 if cor- recting or apologizing for her last’ exclamation seemod to mo a strange correction for a ker): ** I do not beiieve Heaven is u place of Test, or'that we ehall ever ceaso to struggle.” The word struggle was spoken with 80 much em- phasis that I felt curions to learn just what sig- vificance it wight have to the mind of the gentle Quakorets, s 2n element of the futue Jife; but the entrance of her brother, toinvite us into his siudy, interrupted the conversation. Elizabeth toolleave of us then, and I never saw her again, or koo anything of her life, till I read, 1n Snow- Bound, the bereaved brother's lamout The cbill weight of the Winter-snow For months upon ber grave has lain ; Aud now, when Summer south-winds Llow, I tred thie pleasant paths we trod,— 1 sce the violet-sprinkled sod, Whiereon she leanzd, too frail 7ad weak The bill-side flowers she loved to seek,— Tet following me whereler I went, With dark eyos full of love's content And while, in life’s late afternoon, Wikore cool and loug the shadows grow, I walk to meet the night that soon Shall ehape and shadow overfiow, I caunot feel that thou art far, .

For certain reasons I wish that the people should not remain misin- formed concorning my prosecators. ‘They are not by any means the witcesses who testified in tho court-room, many of whom did so un- willingly, but & zealous body of clerical gen- tlemeo, with Bishop Foley at their head. I wish to be well anderstood that it is not the people of Natisity Church, but the Bishop and his clergy, who have ontered proceedings against me. What their motives were for 8o doing I will bLereafter fully explain. Every one, of course, will say that it was in order to make me restore tho Fair money, but they see only the surface of the thiog.

All I ask is the suspension of judgment till my cause is beard.
