THE LEISURE HOUR.
THE LEISURE HOUR. NOTICB.-This column is devoted to better thoughts for quiet moments. Can the wiles of Art, the grasp of Power, Snatch the rich relics of a well-spent hour ? These, when the trembling; spirit wings her flight, Pour round her path a stream of living light. ROGERS.
[No title]
An honest people and a weak mob—a corrupt people and a strong mob. Waking life hath false and vain dreams; but sleep is sometimes a mighty prophet. # The prudent man may direct a state; but it is the enthusiast who regenerates it-or ruins. However august be the object we propose to turselves, every less worthy path we take to ensure it distorts the mental sight of our ambition and the means, by degrees, abase the end to their own atandard. air There is an eloquence in memory, because it is the nurse of hope. There is a sanctity in the past, but only because of the chronicles it retains- chronicles of the progress of mankind-stepping Stones in civilisation, in liberty, and in knowledge. f Better one slow step in enlightenment—which, being made by the reason of a whole people, cannot recede-than sudden flashes in the depth of the general, night, which the darkness, by con- trast doubly dark, swallows up everlastingly Again ? if With a calm and noble people, the individual ambition of a citizen never effects evil-to be im- patient of chains is not to be worthy of freedom- to murder a magistrate is not to ameliorate the laws. The people write their own condemnation Whenever they use characters of blood. There is but one way to restore the greatness of a people-it is an appeal to the people themselves. It is not in the power of princes and barons to make a state permanently glorious they raise them- selves, but they raise not the people with them. All great generations are the universal movement of the mass. There are times when a revolution cannot be warded off; it must come—come alike by resistance or by concession. Woe to that race in which a revolution produces no fruits To suffer in Tain is often the lot of the noblest individuals; but when a people suffer in vain, let them curse them- selves. LORD LYTTON.
♦ The Hawthorn.
♦ The Hawthorn. Mark the faire blooming of the hawthorn-tree, Who, finely cloathed in a robe of white, Fills full the wanton eye with May's delight. CHAUCER. ♦ # The hawthorn, or whitethorn as it is sometimes called, to distinguish it from the blackthorn or sloe, is now bending under its load of fragrant white blossoms. The blossoms of the blackthorn, which appear before the leaves, have disappeared to make room for those of the whitethorn. It is the most characteristic flower of the season, and William Howitt very truly called it the Glory of England's landscape-favourite tree of bard and lover." It grows everywhere. It thrives on the hedgerow, and in the meadow, and adorns the crumbled masonry of hoar antiquity. Glastonbury Abbey was long famed as possessing a hawthorn that was in full leaf and flower each Christmas Day. A legend explained that it had arisen from the staff of Joseph of Arithmathea, which he on arriving at 4GIastonbury in mid-winter, during his mission to England, for some reason stuck into the ground, where it at once miraculously budded.
. Advent of Summer.
Advent of Summer. Flower upon flower expands May reigns in hawthorn lands. Gone are the saffron daughters of the snow. Sweet Summer tells her son The daffodils are done: Spring takes his mother by the hand to go. The sedge wren tells her note, Dim larks in ether float, The uprolled clouds sustain their pageant dome. In velvet, sunshine fed, Spires up the bulrush head, Where rock the wild swans in their reedy home The incense-laden trees Perfume the vocal breeze, This to the hurrying bee of honey sings. And chequered butterflies, Like beams of orient skies, Expand the painted rainbows on their wings. Summer eternal, born From year to year, as morn, Is born from day to day-reviving glows Her breath the scented gale, Her voice the nightingale, Her form incarnate in the queenly rose. LORD DE TABLEY.
* What to Read.
What to Read. Experience in reading soon teaches you how to distinguish the gold from the tinsel. An ancient rabbi 1:> once said. "The penalty of untruth is untruth," and if you confined your reading to penny dreadfuls and impossible romances, I fear that you would degrade your moral standard. The converse is also true that the reward of tfcith is truth so if you avoid mean books, your whole inner man will be improved. Perhaps some of you may be disappointed be- cause I am not, more practical, and tell you from my own experience what you or your sons should read. I recollect that Dr. Johnson answered a desire of this kind in his own sententious way- «' Whilst you stand deliberating which book your son shall read first, another boy has read both: read anything five hours a day and you will soon be learned." My advice is, read any books provided that they are not mean books. It is well occasionally to go back to old books, because they have been winnowed by the fan of time, and the chaff that existed in those days has been blown away and disappeared. Recollect that our knowledge now is an accumulated inheritance from the past. Things strange to our ancestors are the common- places of to-day. We know so much more than our fathers, simply because we are their sons. George Eliot" was struck with an observation of a peasant, that "Noah must have been surprised when all the animals walked into the ark, because he was not like us, sir, accustomed from a boy to Wombell's Menageries." It is the accumulated knowledge of the past which descends to us as an inheritance, the will or testament by which we .obtain it being our books. The best and noblest of our authors now can give little tcrfuturity compared with the wealth of knowledge which they inherited from the past. I recollect coming upon a passage in Roger Bacon, written in 1267, which expressed this view delightfully :—•" The ancients have com- ;mitted all the more errors just because they are the ancients, for in matters of learning, the youngest aye in reality the oldest. Modern genera- tions ought to surpass their predecessors because they inherit their labours." This idea of Friar Bacon in the thirteenth century was condensed by Lord Chancellor Bacon three centuries later in his well-known apothegm Antiquitas seculi juventus mnndi—The antiquity of ages is the youth of the world. As I am gossiping about books, I may remind you that Lord Brougham hoped the time would come when every peasant in England would read Bacon. Upon which Cobbett made the practical remark that he hoped the time would come when every peasant in England would eat Bacon," I hope both aspirations will be fulfilled. I have said that the books on our shelves are the wills or testaments by which the knowledge and culture of the past are bequeathed to and inherited by each individual among us if we choose to take up that inheritance. Let each of us appreciate and use these great possessions. For each one of us the accumulated mental treasures of the past arc at our disposal. In the words of Goldsmith:— For me your tributary stores combine Creation's heir the world, the world is mine. LOUD PLAYFAIR.
LLANON.
LLANON. Nursery of Parsons and Sailors. BY "PHILIP SYDNEY." Llanon is one of those rarely met with villages, which seem to defy proper description, everything, even to the ancient cottages with thatched roof and cobble walls, and patterned pebble pave- ments —being of a type now so rarely seen. Yet here is a thriving, industrious, race of people's numbering some 800, well contented to go on the way their fathers went, substantial, prosper- ous, and clean. I Llanon was indulging in its annual May spring cleaning on the occasion of my recent visit, every house either outside or inside, seeming to have given itself up to the enjoyment of whitewashing, scouring, or painting. The village consists mainly of one street, about threequarters of a mile in length, bounded at either end by the two bridges crossing the two small rivers. The majority of the male population follows a sea faring life, away practically all the summer, and at home in the winter months. A Llanon Captain is a term well and favour- ably known in the shipping world, and at Lloyds. After an early and middle life spent on the oceans, the love of home and a quiet house and garden is sure to assert itself, with the result that Llanon sees her sailor sons there happily settled once again in her midst, building a house per- chance, and daily reading the Shipping Gazette to follow the course of some interested vessels. Hard by Llanon, but quite on the sea shore, is the older and smaller hamlet of Llansanfraid, which was, when Llanon was not. Here is situated the church and common burial ground, dedicated to St. Fraid (St. Bride.) Llanon is said, though I have not myself yet verified the statement, to have taken its name from St. Non, mother of the patron St. David, a chapel in the neighbourhood having been dedicated to this lady. l:> The only means of reaching the village are by foot or by wheel, two carriers' van ply hence to Aberystwyth. In going about the hamlet one is struck by evident signs that Llanon is a well-to-do place, much above others of its size which could be named. So far as the village is concerned, its two chief wants at present would seem to be a more adequate water supply, anO a small but commodious hall or institute which could be used for all purposes of the social well-being of the inhabitants. If one may say so, the water question is now the burning question here, the old, oft-repeated story of the village pump" being at present in full swing. Thewaier supply is morejor less inadequate, wells and a few pumps having to yield all the drinking water for the place. This has to be fetched by the natives, and the water barrel on wheels is a constant reminder that there is no house to house supply. Some of the best informed inhabitants contend that the present state of things must no longer be tolerated others, again, equally as well studied in the matter, assert that the existing wells yield an ample supply of good water, which it would "tie advisable to tap and distribute by stand pipes in the street, much in the manner recently adopted with such success in Llanbadarn. An analysis of the various waters is, I under- stand, now in progress. The result is awaited with interest. That a village hall is needed can admit of no question. Except the schoolroom, there is no place which can be used for those numerous and legitimate occasions of recreation and business which more and more are entering into the lives of our remote villagers. Take the case alone of the reading room and library. At present this modest institution is housed-save the word-in one tiny apartment in a small four roomed cottage, without any sanitary accomodation whatever. A low roof, a tiled floor, and a window no larger than a useful pocket handkerchief, are hardly desirable adjuncts with which to surround the one place in the village where men and boys who will read-thank God for it-can congregate. Plant this institution in a proper home, and then as you watch a marrow grow, which you have just bedded out, watch your reading room develop, the result in one year will convince the most sceptical unbeliever. The Llanon reading room is well supplied with papers-Daily Chronicle, Western Mail, Guardian, Shipping Gazette, Alliance News, Daily Mail, Army Navy, Woman, Liverpool Ecllo-find readers. To Dr. Pughe, of Brighton, a native of Llanon— the reading room and library are indebted for the unceasing practical interest he takes in its development. In this connection I must for a sentence or two digress-to put on record a fact which more and more impresses itself upon me as I wander up and down the county. On all sides testimony is forthcoming how largely and surely the members of our intelligent police force are becoming the true friends-in the right sense of the word—of the people amongst whom they are placed. Time was, and not so long since when the Bobby" was far from being recognized as the people s friend. But times havechanged, and so have eur ideals. I may some day write an account of the things I know and have seen, which place the village constable in a very different light to the usually accepted I- move on there," idea. When we see the village policeman for example personally interested in the right development of the reading room, and holding some responsible office on its committee, then rest assured he is taking his proper place in the body politic, as a man who is learning the lesson of true citizenship and the duties it carries with it. Without entering into further details here, I feel called upon to render some small mead of thanks feai our Chief Constable and his subordinates for a development on their parts which is silently chang- ing for the better the whole trend of life in the retired and scattered hamlets of the county-more anon. A good Board School, is responsible for the secular education-so called --of the rising villagers; Suaday Schools and crowded services do their part as well. Llanon cannot be said to be overstocked with places where a casual visitor may obtain temporary accomodation; a coffee tavern and temperance inn would be a welcome addition to the village. ■ The Inns, such as the Castle and the Sun, owned by our trusty carriers, and one or two others, clean and comfortable, are more houses of call than of rest, but they cannot, from the nature of the case, be expected to supply all the accomodation reason- ably wanted. As bicyclists and tourists increase, the accomoda- tion they call for is gradually being furnished by villagers, and Llanon will be wise to take its place in the ranks. The Parish Council when properly worked, finds its hands full, and in another generation or so will in a far greater degree than at present, perform the duties, and carry out the powers entrusted to it. It is a good sign to see the interest taken in their old home by natives of Llanon,—sailors it is known by experience return over and over again to give thanks," not so, said an old resident, do our parsons." We rear parsons and sailors, but alas! so often our ministers seem to give little if any thought to their native heath, when once they have settled down elsewhere." Be that as it may—and I for one, know full well that no minister worth his salt would dream of forgetting his native place-Llanon is worthy the attention of her sons,—she has much natural beauty,—let one and all feel that it is their duty to leave the place better than they found it, and then shall Llanon continue to flourish and thrive in the spot where-as a queen-she sits to-day.enthroned midst lilacs and laburnums. Be it remembered, this motto from Dr. Pughe, now hanging in the reading room:- ADVICE TO THE YOUNG. My youthful friend of every act beware, Lest one false step should bring an age of care; Ever thy credit keep, 'tis quickly gone, Though gained by many an action, lost by one.

[The last name in the list is curious, since it means either that one Dafydd ap Griffith a clergyman, was summoned on the Grand Jury, or that" Dafydd" was the son of one Gruffydd, a clergyman. At this date, clergymen were supposed to be celibate, but it is a well-attested fact that most of the Welsh clergy had children: as witness the founder of the Pennant family].

Lancashire and Western Sea…
Lancashire and Western Sea Fisheries. A meeting of the recently formed Lancashire and Western Sea Fisheries Joint Committee was held at Chester Castle last week. Mr. John Fell, Ulverston presided. The superintendent (Mr. Dawson) was authorised to obtain a sailing boat for use in the Welsh waters, at a cost of not more than Z200, and he was also authorised to arrange for the efficient watching of the Welsh waters.— The Chairman proposed that a precept of 3-64ths of a penny in the pound be levied on the Cheshire Council, the county borough of Chester, and the county councils of Flintshire, Denbighshire, Merionethshire, Anglesey, Carnarvonshire, and Cardiganshire. The county councils of Cheshire and Flintshire and the county borough of Chester would deduct from their portions the amount they paid the Dee Fishery Board of Conservators.—The Hon. H. Holbrook asked if some part of the assess- ment made in Cheshire and also in Wales could not be given to the River Dee Fishery Board. The Chairman said perfect provision was made for that in the order. He regretted that the Dee was not part of their sea fishery district.—Mr. Holbrook said it would result in the destruction of the fishery if it were so.—The proposition was carried.—Mr. Henry Bonsall (Aberystwyth) explained that the protection of Cardigan Bay was under considera- tion, and a bailiff would ultimately be appointed.— Mr. H. Mellor' (Lytham) raised the question of the payment of the expenses of the members of the Committee, but the Chairman explained that the President of the Board of Trade had declined to consider the matter.
WELSH AGRICULTURE.
WELSH AGRICULTURE. Recent returns issued by the Board of Agriculture give full particulars of the state of agriculture in Wales. The area of land on which the distribution of crops had to be estimated, in the absence of direct information, amounts in England to 4-6 per cent. of the cultivated surface, in Scotland to 1'8 per cent., and in Wales to 0 3 per cent. results which. it is pointed out, are again very unsatis- factory to the Principality. The following 1899 statistics as to Wales will be found interesting:- Total area of land, 4,745,000 acres; water, 29,000; returned as under woods and plantations, 182,000: estimated area of mountain and heath land used for grazing, 1,184,000; acreage under crops and grass, 2,828,000; permanent pasture, 1,925,000; arable land, 903,000; corn crops, 395,000; wheat, 55,000. The renewed shrinkage in the arable area which has been apparent since the temporary check to the process in 1897 is wholly confined to England, and has not extended over the Welsh or Scottish borders. The increase of the barley acreage was apparent in 1899 in all but five English and three Welsh counties. In the cultivation of oats all the Welsh counties show a reduction. Taking wheat, the estimated yield per acre is 25-62; barley, 31-41 and oats, 34-18. There is again an advance in cattle, chiefly noticeable in the English and Welsh breeding counties.
