THERE are some riders whom nothing short of an accident will cause to alter their ways. To such I might sav that I have seen a few accidents occur through the breach of this rule. One especially, I think I shall remember all my life, even if I live to be as old as Methuselah, though happily the result was more laughable than serious. The machine, however, was very much damaged, as was the rider's clothing, so much in fact that he was compelled to go home wrapped in a sheet—not of the Star for it occured before the first number of

LAST month the club members were scattered all over the country No matter whether you travelled north south, east, or west, you stood a fair chance of meeting some of them One party toured to Scarborough, whilst another made a circuitous tour of England proceeding up the east coast to Yorkshire! then west to Lancashire, then south through Cheshire, Salop, Hereford, and Monmouth, to Bristol and Bath ; thence they proceeded vh\ Southampton, Ports-

mouth,Worthing, Brighton, and Hastings, to London. .

Another party has been exploring south-west England ; visiting Marlboro, Bath, Bristol, Weston - Super - Mare, Ilfracombe — where they met another party of Monts, who had just crossed from Cardiff—Lynton, Lynmouth, Barn­staple, Bideford, Clovelly, Launceston, Saltash, Devonport, Plymouth, Totnes, Paignton, Torquay, Weymouth, Bland-ford, and Salisbury.

THEN there was the tour to Ports­mouth- -another decided success. Seven­teen members took part in this outing, and all enjoyed the trip very much. Owing to want of space, detailed accounts of these tours will appear in future issues. I will just remark that we spent nearly all our time in Southsea, also that we paid a visit—which was very interesting, —to the Victory in the harbour; also that the sculling championship was decided, and resulted in a vic'.ory for Messrs. Bramston, Lane, and Soane.

THE manner in which Miss Evans rides her safety is not only worthy of commendation, but is also the cause of perspiration to some of the members. It is rather novel to see her riding as cool as the proverbial cucumber, whilst some of the male members appear to be getting baked. Of the lady members who took part in the tour, Miss Evans was the only one who cycled the journey—the others preferring to train it—and she certainly seemed less fatigued on arriving at our destination, than those who had been boxed up in an ill-ventilated railway carriage for some hours.

PROCRASTINATION has rightly been termed the thief of time, and often the time it purloins is very valuable. We can all sympathise with a fellow tourist whose tyre punctures, but I must confess that it hardly seems to savour of much forethought to find that the unfortunate tourist has left the repairing of the puncture till the party is ready to start, especially when it is taken into con­sideration that for two days the machines had been unused. Such a member would no doubt think it unsociable if the party were to proceed without him, but such treatment is well merited.

POSITIVELY the last time of asking. I am informed there are a few—a very few indeed—photos, left, so that if any of the members wish to become possessed of one of these works of art, early application should b^. made to the financial hon. sec. It is not often such an opportunity presents itself for securing so much intel­ligence and beauty in one group, so that he who fails to embrace it (the opportunity I mean, not the beauty) will have missed what may turn out to be the chance of a lifetime.

EVIL is wrought by want of thought as much as want of heart, and it surely-must be want of thought on the part of some members that they have not yet paid up their sub. Now then you delin­quents, send on the filthy lucre at once to H. Bright, 68, Lichfield-road, Bow. The post of financial secretary is anything but a desirable one, and I do not think it is much, or at all coveted, so that the

The Palace Journal. least we can do, now that we have a good man to undertake the work, is to make his duties as light as possible by paying our subscriptions as soon as they fall due, and not waiting until many applications are made before we part.

WE seem, however, to be better able to retain our officers than some of the neighbouring clubs, for one, I hear, has changed its secretary only four times as yet this year, whilst the quill-driver of another club has called several meetings for the purpose of tendering his resigna­tion, but each time the meeting has consisted of himself only, and as he cannot nicely tender his resignation to himself, he is at a loss to know how to proceed ; one thing seems certain, and that is that there can be very little vitality in that club, and its passing over to the great majority can only be a question of lime, and a very short time, too.

IT is a great pity that some cycle agents and repairers should look upon a cyclist as a lamb to be fleeced, or a travelling bank with an immense balance to be drawn upon. It is indeed a great pity, and in my humble opinion is not a secure foundation on which to attempt to build a business. We all have to purchase cur experience, and every one, however cute, may be u taken in " at some time or other, but it is only a juggins that is taken in a second time by the same man. 1 con­sider a customer who has cause to complain of unjust treatment or being overcharged does more harm to a business than can be counteracted by at least four persons speaking well of it.

THE date of the Stanley show is fixed for the last week in November. As the majority of members visit the Crystal Palace on this occasion, I think it would be a good plan to arrange for a party to go down to the show ; possibly we might be able to get special terms. Think the matter over, but don't leave it too late before you arrive at a decision.

IT has never been my lot before to be mistaken for a rabbit or a goat, nor to my knowledge has the club been so honoured (?), but I certainly think the proprietor of the house at which we put up on our last visit to Cheshunt must have thought we held the record for disposing of lettuce leaves, for there seemed to be a famine in the hostelry of everything but bread and butter and lettuce leaves—not lettuces mind you ! Taking into consideration the large and ever-increasing number of cyclists who pass through or stop at Cheshunt, one would think that hotel-keepers would consider it worth their while, financially, to cater for so numerous a body, and not appear as if they were conferring a great favour by providing a meal for a club.

I DO not know why this particular place was selected as a destination, and as a mile or two is of no consideration to us, I would suggest when journeying that way that another house be tried, we might certainly be better provided for, and the odds arc about a thousand to one we should not fare worse.

FOR my own part there is nothing I enjoy so much as a good tea after the

moon's ride, and I think the same can said with safety of not only every

member of this club but of nearly every cyclist, and I must own to feelings of disappointment when I looked at the green meat and was informed that there was nothing to follow. I thought of the Queen Anne high tea, and felt sad. It was my first visit to this hotel and need­less to say it will be my last, whether the club visits the house again or no, for if they do I can confidently say that they will not have the pleasure, or displeasure of the company of

PEOPLE'S PALACE CHORAL SOCIETY. —Conductor : Mr. Orton Bradley, M.A. After Friday, September 16th, we shall meet as usual both on Tuesdays and Fridays. We are now rehearsing the "Ancient Mariner," and "Israel in Egypt," and it is hoped every member will try to attend regularly and punctu­ally so as to prepare for our first concert on Saturday, October 29th. The follow­ing notice of one of our social reunions from Black and White may interest the members. "The musical department of the Palace is under the superintendence ot a most able and energetic gentleman well-known in social and musical London, Mr. Orton Bradley. On the evening of my own attendance the members of the Choral Society had been invited by a well known lady from another part of London, to a ball in the Palace. This ball was, I admit, a surprise to me, who have ' assisted' at many such an en­tertainment in various parts of the civilised world. It was a surprise that arose, however, only from my ignorance of Mile End ways, and chiefly because it so closely resembles good balls elsewhere. Except that the young men wore black, but not evening coats, it differed in no respect from an average dance, except in being better. The floor was a better floor than most ball floors, the ball-room was larger and better lighted, the music was decidedly better. For supper there were ices, lemonade, and tea and coffee to drink, sandwiches and excellent little puffs of pastry to cat. Another point too important for the grave chronicler to pass over, was that the girls, prettily, quietly and becomingly dressed, were above the average ball-room young lady in good looks. I noticed too, that the dancing was decidedly good, and, what is more, 4 in good form.'"

J. G. COCKBURN, Hon. Sec. J. H. THOMAS, Librarian.

THE conversazione for last session's students, and also for the students who have booked for the coming session will be held on Monday, the 26th inst. The attendance promises to be very large, inasmuch as each past student will be invited, and the students who have booked for the coming session will have a ticket admitting self and friend. Any one entitled to be invited and not receiving a card by the 21st inst., will please communicate at once with the secretary.

September 16, 1892. The Palace Journal. Ibolifcai? Ibalints for tbe million.

ALTHOUGH the season for holiday making will be some­what advanced by the time this number of The Palarr Journal is issued, yet, doubtless some of our readers may like to know something of a jaunt which, in these davs of cholera scares, may decide them to try their luck nearer home. I prefer to the trip by the Thames from Kingston to

MOI.ESKY LOCK. (From "The Thames," by permission 0/Messrs. Virtue and Co., Limited.)

The beauties of the upper reaches of the Thames are so proverbial that it is unnecessary for me to dwell upon them now, nor to speak of the delightful manner in which the same can be enjoyed on board a steam launch. Of such trips there are many advertised, especially in the Lock to Lock Times so I need not go further into such details here and now

A river (says the author of " A Bird's-eye View of the Thames, a capital little handbook, published by Bacon & Co.) which has on its banks three such towns as London, Windsor and Oxford, all so widely, though so variously, renowned' cannot fail to be well known, and must call up by its mere name a host of associations sufficient in themselves to win for he favoured stream a high place in the national affection and

literature. On its banks, or rather within its basin, has been concentrated a very large proportion of the stirring and eventful history of the English race, so that its place in historic story and in romance is such as no other river in these islands, save perhaps that of the Scottish border, can claim. Long before Bristol and Liverpool were great cities, before coal and iron had placed the North of England in its present position of wealth and in­fluence, the Valley of the Thames contained much of what was best and most civilised in the country. J he gentle aspect of the district through which it flowed, the fertility of the regions which it watered, the slowness of its stream, which made navigation easy, and last, but not 'east, in modern times, the sylvan

eau'y 'ts banks, and the interest attaching to its towns and villages, even to its single houses—have all contributed to give the Thames an importance out of all proportion to

its physical magnitude. British earthworks stood on the

j >pentS have met at Reading and Oxford, and kings have fallen out and fought at Brentford, Walling-ford, and other places ; while in the very river itself at Runnymede, the seal was set to that great "Charter of the land," of which Thomson sings in "Rule Britannia." At Bisham lies the Kingmaker (Earl of Warwick), and Eton College speaks ot the literary tastes of one of his puppets (Henry VI.) Then Rich­mond has its story to tell of Henry of Richmond and his palace of Sheen, where great Queen Bess, a century later, breathed her la^t • and Greenwich Palace was suc­ceeded by Kew and Hampton Court whilst Royal Windsor is Royal Windsor still. In Litera­ture so numerous are the associations, that the "riverists" might well be ranged beside the

lakists" of the North, though thev do not form a school. Of Poets

the TK u • .th^e most closely connected with the Thames .are majestic Denham," whose Coolers Hill HVTH ''"f rif classic of the river ^ our own time ; Cowley who lived at Chertsey; and Pope, whose Windsor Forest speaks ofhis close connection with the river in his early life as Pone's Villa, at Twickenham, does of his later years.

Bradshaw, the regicide, Lilly, the astrologer, and Admiral Rodney, were all associated with Walton ; and long lists of other names might be adduced, without mentioning the metropolis itself, but enough has been said to show that the Thames Valley is classic ground.

In Art, too, the Thames is famous. Turner painted it; Etty lived close to it; Stanfield, Roberts, Whistler, Leslie, Hayden, Tissot, and Vicat Cole, have all loved and limned the royal river ; and Keeley Halswelle devoted several years to painting pictures of it.

Severe Criticism. A SLIGHT incident may change a

person's entire career. A distinguished barrister relates the following story :—

" I think it is very likely that I should have been a poet, and perhaps a struggling literary man by occupation, if it had not been for a criticism which my father once passed upon one of my early efforts.

" I had just entered college, and was full of literary enthusiasm, when I became seized with an inspiration to write a poem.

" I had burned a great deal of mid­night oil over the effusion, and had

polished it up to my satisfaction, when I finally ventured, with feelings of mingled fear and pride, to submit it to my father's judgment. I shall not forget the little scene. It was evening, and he was sitting in front of a large fire.

" ' So you have written a poem, eh ?' said he. ' Let me read it.'

" I sat in trepidation while he struggled through the rather long effort. Finally he finished, and looked over at me.

"'Humph!' said he. 'Have you worked long over this ?'

" ' About three weeks.' "' Polished it up to your entire satis­

faction ?' "' I have.'

" ' A very fair piece of composition and I have but on/* criticism to offer.'

" I looked up. What is that?' I asked. "' That it lacks fire,' and he threw it

upon the glowing coals. j " I thought this very graphic cr ticism

was terribly severe at the time; but as I recall the structure and expression of the poem, I have no doubt that it was perfectly just. My subsequent better knowledge has convinced me many times that I have no poetic gift whatever, and, that being the case, it was no more nor less than a kindness of my father,

I who quickly recognised the want of merit ' in my verses, to save me all further waste ' of time in that direction."

There is a green hill far away, Without a city wall;

Where the dear Lord was crucified, Who died to save us all.

We may not know, we cannot tell, What pains He had to bear;

But we believe it was for us He hung and suffered there.

He died that we might be forgiven, He died to make us good,

That we might go at last to Heaven, Saved by His precious blood.

There was no other good enough To pay the price of sin,

He only could unlock the gate Of Heaven and let us in.

Oh, dearly, dearly has He loved, And we must love Him too;

And trust in His redeeming blood, And try His works to do.

The silent stars are shining white and cold,

As midnight hour in deep loud tones is told :

Big Ben strikes on, as in the days gone by,

He told how quickly golden moments fly.

What cares he if the hours are pass'd in vain,

Or sad dull care feeds on heart and brain ?

The sleeping world, the woes and joys of men,

Affect not the heart of the deep Big Ben.

Again the hour of twelve, and busy life

Rolls on beneath Big Ben with noisy strife,

Eyes bright with hope, or dim with unshed tear,

May meet, and pass, or awhile linger here !

Unmoved, Old Ben still * warns us of Time's flight,

Through day's bright sunshine, or the hush of night.

What cares, he if time has pass'd in vain,

Or hopes have fled, ne'er to come again ?

The waking world, the noise and strife of men,

Affect not the heart of the deep Big Ben!

Miss MASIE RIVERSDALE.

For the sake of the past I come to you,

For the sake of the sweet springtide, Before I left you and lost you,

In my folly and cruel pride; And I, that once despised you,

Scorn myself now at last; I have come to you, love, for pardon,

For the sake of the past.

I have seen how the flowers wither, I have learnt the false and true,

And I turn in my desolation For comfort and rest to you,

For the tender words you promised, For the sake of all we were,

I have come for your love and pity In my despair.

Take me again, I love you, Be as you used to be,

Is there no room in your heart still, Never a place for me?

Take me again, beloved, Say you are mine at last,

Pity me, pardon, and love me, For the sake of the past.

Take my head on your shoulder, daddy,

Turn your face to the west, It's just the hour when the sky turns

gold, The hour that mother loved best.

The day has been long without you, daddy,

You've been such a while away— And now you're as tired of your work,

daddy, As I am tired of my play,

But I've got you and you've got me, So everything seems right.

I wonder if mother is thinking of us, Because it is my birthday night!

Why do your big tears, fall, daddy, Mother's not far away,

I ofttimes seem to hear her voice Falling across my play,

And it sometimes makes me cry, daddy,

To think it's none of it true, Till I fall asleep, and dream, daddy,

Of home, and mother, and you. For I've got you and you've got me,

So ev'rything may go, We're all the world to each other,

daddy, For mother, dear mother, once told

me so.

I'm sometimes afraid to think, daddy, When I am big like you,

And you are old and grey, daddy, What you and I would do,

If, when we got up to heaven, And mother was waiting there,

She shouldn't remember the two she left

So sad and so lonely here. But year by year still sees no change,

And so 'twill all be right, We shall always meet her in our

dreams, Daddy, good-night — dear daddy,

• good-night. {Continued on page 224.)

I thought how you the while might be In lonely sorrow waking,

And, 'midst a scene of dance and glee,

My heart was almost breaking. For—

Constant still my heart is beating, Ever constant, ever true,

Though the wide world lies between us,

Nought can change my love for you.

Whene'er they bid me sing again, The songs I sang for you, love—

My voice is hushed, and stifled pain Makes ev'ry note untrue, love.

Gleanings—Grave anfc Gap. THE mind on which man so prides

himself develops and expands until the age of about forty, and then declines. Decay is the inexorable law of Nature. Sad is the fading away of a brilliant mind at the approach of dissolution, but sadder than death is it when the brain perishes before the body. "How often, alas, we see," says Holmes, "the mighty satirist tamed into oblivious imbecility, the great scholar wandering without sense of time or place among his alcoves, taking his books one by one from the shelves and patting tbem ; a child once more among his toys, but a child whose to-morrows come hungry, and not full-handed—come as birds of prey in the place of the sweet singers of morning. We must all become as little children if we live long enough ; but how blank an existence the wrinkled infant must carry into the kingdom of heaven if the Power that gave him memory does not complete the miracle by restoring it 1" The Autocrat is always good at a pleasant little homily of this kind. It would be well if all preachers spoke as truly and as much to the point.

How often a true word is spoken in jest 1 Swift said of the astronomers of Laputa, "They have likewise discovered two lesser stars, or satellites, which revolve about Mars, whereof the inner­most is distant from the centre of the

primary planet exactly three of his diameters, and the outermost five ; the former revolves in the space of ten hours, and the latter in 'twenty-one and a half." It is very singular that the discovery made with the Washington telescope should have shown that Mars had two moons, one of them revolving in the astonishingly small time of seven hours and a half. At the time when "Gulliver's Travels" was written, it would have been said'that this could not be, so that truth is again stranger than fiction.

IN the^south of France, the Govern­ment postal service is supplemented by the "waggon post" of private contractors, who employ many hundred horses in conveying small parcels from town to town, even along the railway lines. This business has become so extensive that several road locomotives have been ordered for it, and are proving very satisfactory. Two of these machines are running between towns 70 miles apart, each making the trip one way nightly, at a speed of eight miles an hour. Part of the road is very hilly, with long gradients up to as much as one in 11. The locomotive, with coal and water, weighs 15 tons, and the loaded waggon from seven to 10 tons, making the average weight of the train 23 tons. At 175 lbs. pressure, the engines give about 12 horse-power, and with fair roads, use about half a ton of fuel for the round trip of 140 miles. These engines

have been running over six months without interruption.

CARDINAL NEWMAN pointed out what mysteries the lower animals are to man. But the mystery diminishes beneath the scrutiny of such men as Darwin and Lub­bock. A kindred question which they also help us to solve is what the world is like to these creatures. While consider­ing it doubtful whether ants and bees can hear, Sir John Lubbock believes it to be quite possible that if they do they may hear sounds so faint as to make no im­pression on the human ear. A like fact may be true of their perception of colours. To insects the world may be full of music we cannot hear, colours we cannot see, and sensations we cannot feel.

CHARLES DARWIN found backgammon a great mental relaxation, and he was very fond of novels for the same purpose. The great naturalist did most of his writ­ing sitting in a large horsehair chair by the fire, upon a board stretched across the arms. When he had many or long letters to write he dictated them from rough copies written on the backs of manuscripts or proof-sheets. He kept all the letters he received—a habit caught from his father. When his letters were finished he lay on a sofa in his bedroom, and had novels read to him, while he smoked a cigarette or regaled his nostrils with snuff.
