In those days them were pocket boroughs, a Birmingham unrepresented in Parliament and compelled to make strong representations out of it. unrepealed corn-laws, threeand-sixpenny letters, a brawny and many-breeding pauperism, and other departed evils but there were some pleasant things too, which have also departed. Non mu gradior arias puce jugaamw Irobet, says the wise goddess you have not the best of it in all things, 0 youngsters l the elderly man has his enviable memories, and not the least of them is the memory of a long journey in mid-spring or autumn on the outside of a stagecoach. Posterity may be shot, like a bullet through a tube, by atmospheric pressure from Winchester to Newcastle that is a fine result to have among our hopes but the l o w old-fashioned way of getting from one end of our - try to the other is the better thing to have h the memory. The tubejourney can never lend much to picture andnarrative it is as barren as an exclamatory 0 1 Whereas the happy outside passenger seated on the box from the dawn to the gloaming gathered enough stories of English life, enough of English labours in town and country, enough aspects of earth and sky, to make episodes for a modem Odyssey. Suppose only that his journey took him through that central plain, watered at one extremity by the Avon, at the other by the Trent. As the morning silvered the meadows with their long lines of bushy willows marking the watercourses, or burnished the golden corn-ricks clustered near the long roofs of some midland homestead, he saw the full-uddered cows driven from their pasture to the early milking. Perhaps it was the shepherd, head-servant of the farm, who drove them, his sheep-dog following with a heedless unofficial air as of a beadle in undress. The shepherd with a slow and slouching walk, timed by the walk of grazing beasts, moved aside, as if unwillingly, throwing out a monosyllabic hint to his cattle his glance, accustomed to rest on things very near the earth, seemed to lift itself with difficulty to the coachman. Mail or stage coach for him belonged to that mysterious distant system of things called Gover-ment, which, whatever it might be, was no business of his, any more than the most out-lying nebula or the coal-sacks of the southern hemisphere his solar system was the parish the masters temper and the casualties of lambing-time were his region of storms. He cut his bread and bacon with his pocketknife, and felt no bitterness except in the matter of pauper labourers and the bad-luck that sent contrarious seasons and the sheep-rot. He and his cows were soon left behind, and the homestead too, with its pond overhung by elder-trees, its untidy kltcben-garden and cone-shaped yew-tree arbour. THE RADICAL.
