THE EGGS THAT NEVER HATCH.
THE EGGS THAT NEVER HATCH. There's a young man round the corner, Filled with life and strength and hope: Looking far beyond the present, With the whole world in his scope He is grasping at to-morrow, That phantom none can catch To-day is lost. He's waiting For the eggs that never hatch. There's an old man over yonder, With a worn and weary face, With searching, anxious features, And weak uncertain pace. He is living in the future, Witli no desire to catch The golden Now. He's waited For the eggs that never hatch. There's a world of men and women, Willi their life's work yet undone, Who are sitting, standing, niyving Beneath tile same great sun Ever eager for the future, But not contell t to catch The Present. Tliey are waiting For the eggs that never hatch.

HIS WIFE'S~WEAPONI •'Give me ten day, Judge," said a mao with a frightened look on his countenance to Justice Duffy at the Tombs, New York, I want to keep out of the way of my wife, who beats me all the time." Who'll support me and the chicks at home," said the man's wife, "if you' lock him up. Judge ? Don't you do it." "She is only happy when she beats me," com- plained the husband. She always carries a con- cealed weapon. She's got it with her now." ''Madam, produce this weapon that your hus- band, says you carry concealed on your person," demanded Justice Duffy. Ult, I know what he means, but I'm ashamed to say what it is," said the woman with a blush. You must, madam; out with it," ordered the little Judge. I", %Vell, then, lie means that I've got a wooden leg." And every time I do or say anything she doesn't like, she just uuscrews that leg and gives me a belt," groaned the husband. Til lock you up for six months if you come here whining about such;L trifle again," remarked Jus- tice Duffy to the husband, You took like a man who would boat his wife if he ooultl. but the trouble in your case is, that witild you're-looking for a club your wife has one handy and gets the best of you.

.CORRESPONDENCEI
CORRESPONDENCE (We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions of our correspondents.] ECONOMIST AND TEACHERS' SALARIES. To the Editor of the Chronicle." SIP,—Now when Mr Economist has shewed you through the labyrinths of School Board's Scales, and has levelled ip toyou mysteries too deep for common mortals to apprehend, and levelled down to you those obscure and abstruse questions of codes, schedules, forms, requirements, abstracts, &c., will you be good -enough to allow a poor fellow—ignorant and conscious of it—to give your readers an example or two of the groundless statements which Mr Economist has so authoritatively set down as matters of fact; as well to make a few remarks on Mr Economist as a writer and other cognate subjects, as I have a doubt whether he figures the more wretchedly in the one or in the other ? Masters, says Mr E. earn £150 to X200, and Mistress from A:80 to £ 150. There is not a tingle master in all the parishes named that gets 4C200 a year, and only two mistresses who even get £ 110 in the Elementary Board Schools. But, granted there are half-a-dozen the impression left upon the Blinds of your readers is, that most schoolmasters Snd mistresses in this district numbering some 150 or 160 make JE200 and X150 respectively. This with respect to masters is cff the mark from zCt3O to zElOO, while mistresses receive' as near as possible half the sum laid down by tbist-rrdite manipulator of figures. This is the manner Le slides up his scales:—" Masters £100 with half the grants and two-thirds of pupil teachers' grant. This. on the calculation of a school of 200 children would be £ 2C0." Now, were the schools 200, he would be practically correct, according to the scales of some of the boards, but when the schools are only a hundred and under the salary falls to 1150 and under. I the parishes of Eglwysilan md. Llantwit Fardre there is only one school that reaches an average of 160: yet here the masters and ibistresseB get the credit of receiving £ 200 and jE150 respectively, while the average salary of masters is about £ 155, and that of the mistress £ 70 to £ 72 under the most favourable circumstances. Furthermore there are head teachers in these districts who make even ot.der X100. To show the. falsity of bi wonder- ful statistician's figures take, after hic fashion, other suppositional cases say of school A average, atten- dance 600, then the master would receive' £ 400; school B, 800 salary 4500; school C, 1,000 salary £ '.fi00 and so on in arithmetical progression' od hip'niiinn. Your readers will see that such schools have not their existence except in the heated imagination of' this ignorant seribblcr. As to reductions in depressed times it would certainty be fair, in cade teachers were advanced during good times. But as they are not, the argument on that basis is-of no value. Schools ve not quite so weji] cff then for the reason that jwrents generally do tlIir utmost to withdraw their children from school to share fhe prosperity. Again a few words as to the literary value of his eoxnmuilicgticl-s- Trohi internal evidence I etl]l see tbat, although yon sir haH tried to patch up his sen- tences to make them as readable as, possible, yet there is Kardly a sentence which bears the 'evidence of good grammar.' He has shoved you in.both I-F tters myste- rious things, and has appealed to you for sympathy in deb ling with them some two dozen times. He thrusts his own personality within the range of vision of ypur readt-ra and yourself, Mr Editor twenty three times, and at last because he suspected that be failed to get your sympathies he sends you to Ahenlare. He places one unlocky assistant teacher upon 40 or 50 and because lie fails to hatch more than 2 per cent. lie tocn that tl)e poor fellow sticks there. No vender; and the Rhcndda Boards ought to be severely reprimanded for putting any teacher what- ever may be bis dimensions to sit upon so many. Having glutted the niaiket and cioj>j>ed the teachers, lie Rets assistants almted, as a racing man, proceeds lay leisiii and Laintds as a coursing man, and reckons up heads and taÛs, as a betting man. and finishes off v-itli a song, ivett Alteram e as a Cauu Bulcfi But when he quoted poetry and writes with such deep bathos on that new phase of civilised life- respectable StArvatioll-be diawcd tears to mv eyes. I «ou1d actually see the "beads of sorrow conrsing down his manly cheeks and dropping off the Cap*s ■Clear of his symmetrical nose. Yet it is a consolation to iivd, and it is admitted by this eminent authority on,pedagogy that the republic of letters even in times of Bespectable Starvation is able to maintain its dptiiul servants m such a position as to keep up appearances of being rich w itLout being so. I have «eeu rich ignoramuses of the class of Economist, w ho ■cannot open tueir mouths v, ithcnt ccninjitting them- seuts but never a rich schoolmaster. Yours, & Respectably STAI.yed. i

THE SAD FATALITY AT YHYSCADODWG COLLIERY. « OPENING THE INQUEST. IDENTIFYING THE BODIES. The inqueat upon the bodies of Richard Jones and Joseph Jones, killed at the Albion colliery,on Wednesday, was formally opened on Friday, at the Cilfynydd Inn, by Mr H. LI. Grover, coroner. The coroner and jury having viewed the bodies and the usual preliminaries been gone through, The Coroner said I have had a letter from the Inspector of Mines, saying he cannot possibly be present to-day, and asking to have this inquest adjourned so that he may be present. I shall, therefore, simply take evidence as to the identity of the bodies apd adjourn until next Thursday, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. David Jones, of Ponterwid, Cardiganshire, said: Richard Jones, deceased, was my brother. I identi- fy the body seen by the jury as that of my brother. He was a sinker in the employ of the Albion Col- liery Company. I heard in Cardiganshire of his death, and came up here. Deceaed was 20 years of age last September. John Davies, sinker in the employ of the Albion Colliery Company, said Joseph Jones, decease lodged with him at the house of Albert Jenkins. Deceased also was a sinker and worked at the same colliery. He identified the body viewed by the jnry at his lodging as that of Joseph Jones. Deceased was 25 years of age last August, was a single man, and a native of Wrexham. This was all the evidence taken. The inqoest was then adjourned. THE CONDITION OF THE INJURED. It is satisfactory to find that the man whose condition was last week-considered almost hopeless -RowlandB-ia progressing -^favourably under the dare of Dr. Price, the Medical. Officer of the Works. The outward marks of the crushing effects of the fall were more numerottib., and heavy on Rowlands than on the men who were killed. 'His recovery' therefore, is marvellous.
