A public meeting of the electors and non-electors of Southwark was held yesterday evening at the Bridge House Hotel, London-bridge, to take into consideration the bill for the reform of the represen tation of the people in Parliament which had been introduced by the Government. Mr. J. VICKERS took the chair, and, in opening the proceedings of the meeting, he observed that if the Government had coupled with the bill of en franchisement a measure for the redistribution of seats, he for one should have been pleased ; but they ought to make fair allowance for the difficul ties with which the Government had to contend. Lord Russell, in conjunction with his able colleague Mr. Gladstone--(cheers) had considered it the wiser course to extend the franchise as a separate measure, and his opinion was that the people would do well to accept it without quibbling about compa rative trifles. Mr. ROGERS moved That inhabitants of South war k is fopin this o I n n: h e a t itn the o f p t r e h the Government are honest in their desire to for ward the cause of Reform by the introduction of the present Reform Bill, and although it does not contain such provisions for the e nfranchisement of the people as their advanced education and politi cal knowledge demand, the meeting felt it their duty to support the Government, and to use their influence for the passing of the measure. " He believed Earl Russell to be sincere in his desire to effect a good measure for the people, and when he found the greatest orator of the age—Mr. Glad stone, and the greatest friend of the people—John Bright (cheers) supporting the measure which Lord Russell had introduced, he could not for a Moment hesitate to give his hearty assent to the Bill. Mr. SHARP seconded the resolution, and it was carried unanimously. Dr. JONES then moved that a petition be prepared in accordance with the foregoing resolution, signed by the chairman on behalf of the meeting to the two Houses of Parliament, and that the members for the borough be requested to support the Bill in ils passing through the House of Commons. He ad mitted that he should have preferred seeing a much more comprehensive Bill, but he had heard it said that half a loaf is better than no bread, and as the Bill had received the indorsement of John Bright he presumed that the measure extended as far as it was practicable on the present occasion. Mr. Scorr seconded the resolution, and said - he did so on the principle of getting all he could now and hereafter looking out for more. The resolution was unanimously agreed to. Mr. LOCKE, M.P. for the borough of Southwark, then came forward and was received with great cheering. He expressed his pleasure at meeting so large an assemblage of bis constituents, and hoped it would not be said that it was a scanty meeting, for he bad been told that upwards of 500 persons had gone away, not being able to gain admittance. He had represented Southwark since 1857, and his sentiments on the subject of Reform were well known. Allusion had been made to the Ballot ; he believed the Ballot to be a most excellent measure, but that was not at present the question. They were met to say Aye or No ; were they ready to support the Government Reform Bill ? (Cheers.) Let them confine themselves to that, and not go into the question of a larger extension of the franchise. With regard to the Bill itself neither he nor his colleague, although a member of the Govern ment, had the slightest idea of what its pro visions would be until they heard them stated by Mr. Gladstone on the motion for the first read ing of the measure. Meeting one of his consti tuents in the house, and who had not been II able to Un. Law :rum LLIGII JIG Itt.tu change his opinion. Although this was the fifth Reform Bill which had been introduced since 1832, it was the first that had dealt with that most objec tionable part of the original Reform measure which made it necessary for voters to pay their rates before having their names entered on the register. The present bill entirely got rid of that requirement, and if it contained no other clause than that it would be deserving of support. With regard to the pro posed £7 franchise, he was not prepared to saythat that was precisely the right sum to be fixed upon. On the contrary, he himself had always been in fa vour of household suffrage. (Cheers.) But every member of the House of Commons had a right to their own opinion on that subject ; they could not be driven ; they must be convinced ; and, therefore, upon that ground he presumed Mr. Gladstone fixed upon a£7 franchise. After some further remarks on this portion of the measure, the hon. member ob served that by its operation no less than 400,000 voters would be added to the present electoral list— a most important matter, and one which it would be most foolish for the people to reject. (Cheers.) The hon. gentleman then adverted to the pledge which Mr. Gladstone had given to introduce a bill for the redistribution of seats immediately after the second reading of the Enfranchisement Bill. (Cheers.) No man could conceal from himself that such a measure was one of the greatest importance, and a necessary adjunct to the Enfranchisement Bill. (Cheers.) A Voice—What about the dockyards ? (Cheers.) Mr. LOCKE said he should be extremely sorry to disfranchise anybody unless they deserved it. It did not appear to him to be a very good reason for disfranchising the workmen because they voted against the Government ; but he must leave that matter to be discussed in the House of Commons. He, however, did not feel at all disposed to vote for that disfranchising clause of the bill. But his object that night was to speak to them in a busi ness-like way, and to explain to them what the bill really was. He was quite satisfied that, if they gave it due consideration, they would come to the conclusion that it was a most excellent measure, and that it was for the benefit and happiness of the country that it had been introduced. (Cheers.) Mr. LAYARD, on rising to address the meeting, was received with rapturous applause. He said he knew that the borough of Southwark would not be behind the rest of the country in expressing their opinion on the subject of the bill then pending be fore Parliament. He understood the objections to that bill were chiefly two—that was to say, two ex pressed, but he thought there was another, which was not mentioned, though it was by many acted upon. The first objection was that the bill was not required ; and the second, that it did not go far enough. These two objections might in themselves be very valid, but they could not go together. As regarded the necessity of the bill, he could not un derstand those who maintained that argument. It seemed as if a gentleman said to his bootmaker or tailor that he would not pay him until he served him with a writ. Such a man he should charac terise as a shabby and good-for-nothing fellow - . Mr: Gladstone had already pointed out in the liousrecoati Commons that the Government was under moral obligation to introduce a mea sure o clamour, and the very fact of there having been or or large public meetings of t he people, n assuming a Raefgorm; p l e dges that had bee n proved that they relied on threatening attitude towtahreds the Government, gofivßene,foarnmd fromler e preparedhatever torei Government i e ve b a ee large j might N g vi e ga l tt e i x s g u i tn its duty if it measure e, and that Governm ent would i had refused to grant such a by whichthe uni on at present so happily existing among a ll classes of the people of thi s country could a l on e be permanently maintained. (Ch eers.) As to the bill not going far enough, there could be no doubt that whatever might have been the measure some objections would against it. lie co ns ide r ed the havebillbteoe been be made honest measure. He had always maintained that a Reform Bill was necessary for the country. When Lord Palmerston offered him office he accepted it upon the understanding that his opi nion on the subject of Reform should never be made I‘ lo ( 'IEWSP AR-Eft 44_ all, )".7 7 15.14° ; 1 1 1 7 in lek . 4 , r , d ,.,;i44177 , d a , ft Amp •- 11 ' ' • - ' A sn7 an objection. Other entertained similar opi. M. Gibson, an old colk man who had fought not ()Win against the Corn Laws, but who was chiefly insl :rental in Passing the bill for the abolition of the paper duties; also Mr. Villiers, Mr. Stansfeld, and Mr. Forster ; all of whom entertained opinions similar to those which he himself bad always professed on the sub ject of Reform. But they were also of opinion that the subject should not be pressed at a time when it was not called for, but to wait for the opportune moment when there was a good prospect of its being carried through the House of Commons. Every one felt that while Lord Palmerston was Minister a mea sure of Reform could not be introduced with any probability of success. Lord Palmerston died, and Lord Russell was his natural successor. Lord Russell represented -the Reform principle in this country ; and when it was said that the country did not require Reform, he would reply that the reason Lord Russell stood in Lord Palmerston's place was that he represented the principle of Worm. And his first measure was a Reform Bill ; he would have been recreant to his principles if lie had refused to do so. That was his answer to those who objected as to the time in which the measure had been intro duced. With regard to the measure itself it would have been thrown out at once, but Lord Russell was too honest a man for that. He was not a man to bring forward a sham measure. A bill blending the reduction of the franchise and the redistribution of seats would have been impossible. He considered the logical mode was to deal with the franchise and then with the seats. He believed there were many members of the House of Commons who secretly did not wish for any Reform Bill at all ; few, however, openly avowed it. There were, never theless, two or three who boldly spoke out the truth, and who said that the bill was a bad thing. Whence did this voice come? Orator Hunt once said that Caine was one of the most degraded and wretched boroughs, and expressed his wonder by what chance tionoiktwgea sa h s o for l o e osm o f o f trhcolo. omitting p tet t ny i g o e n e . m '' the Ministers h a d over l oo k e d " th a t mos t ro tt en were v Aand bsogd i nt r fromNo doubt r o e u su b t there Caine ip N t uolSchedule this country we re not fit to possess the that came the voi ce w hi ch told them that thefranchise. Peegoilhpedle (Cheers and laught er. ) The hon. gentle man con cluded by saying that he should like to see some working men in the House of Commons. He did not feel himself to be in a position to speak for them. They had their own mode of thought and expression, which no one but themselves could full y make known. If they were allowed to speak for themselves it would be useful for all classes. it was a libel to say that the working classes could not discriminate men fit to represent them. Whom did they choose for Westminster ? Mr. Smith, the man of many places of business, or Mr. Mill, the philosopher ? (Cheers.) In the same way the people of Lambeth had elected his friend Mr. Hughes. (Cheers.) These instances convinced him that the working men would always choose men who were most eminent for their knowledge and ability to represent them. (Cheers.) He believed the bill was an honest measure, and he felt confi dent that the Government would carry it through the House of Commons by a great majority. After some further addresses by members of the working class, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the meeting dispersed Naval and Military Intelligence. The partially ironcased corvette Favorite, 10 guns, 400 horse power, Capt. F. H. Shortt, remains at Spithead, completing the " sighting" of her guns and other slight additions to her equipments previ ous to leaving England for the Pacific. She is or dered to be made complete in all respects, and re ported ready for sea by the 16th inst. She has, however, a leak in her bows, the position and extent of which has been somewhat variously estimated, and to enable Capt. Shortt to ascertain its exact nature, the Favorite will cruise between the Isle of [ Wight and the Start for about three days after Lsailips frmArithaMallip,gin finally_ at nrreouth_ tons, 600 horse power, Capt. M. Connolly, which arrived at Spithead on Sunday from the eastward, will make her official trial of speed, at deep-load draught, over the measured mile in Stokes Bay at the end of the present week. The usual contractor's trial of the ship's machinery under steam will pre cede the official speed trial. The Pallas will be the first instance of a vessel designed by the present chief constructor of the navy being subjected at deep-load draught to the test of the Stokes Bay mile course. The unarmoured screw frigate Liverpool, 35, Capt. John Seccombe, is ordered to have the defect in her screw shafting, together with other defects, com pleted at once in a manner that will allow of her resuming service as early as possible. The iron screw storeship Industry, Staff Com mander, E. Youel, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the Mediterranean, with a cargo of returned stores and naval supernumerary seamen and marines from her Majesty's ships on the station. The super numeraries were transferred from the Industry, at Spithead, to the Victory flagship, in Portsmouth harbour, and the naval hospital at Haslar. The In dustry afterwards sailed from Spithead for Woolwich. The United States steamer of war Canandaigua, 1,400 tons, 9 guns, Capt. R. Stembel, arrived in the Southampton-water yesterday morning, and salutes were exchanged between her and her Majesty's ship Irresistible. The Canandaigua is attached to the United States European squadron, under command of Admiral Goldsborough. Capt. Whinyates' battery A, of the Bth Brigade, Royal Artillery, marched off yesterday morning at 8 30 from head-quarters, Woolwich, for Shorncliffe camp. They were accompanied out of garrison and for some considerable distance on the march by a large number of officers, and were escorted by the mounted band of the Royal Horse Artillery. After their departure Major-Gen. Warde, C. 8., the Com mandant, accompanied by Col. Anderson, CA, commanding the 4th Brigade, and attended by Capt: Williams, Aide-de-Camp, and the official staff of the garrison, proceeded to the regimental parade, and inspected Lieut.-Col. N. Turner's B battery of that brigade. The general, in addressing the men, passed a high encomium on the general appearance of the men and horses. Their conduct, he said, in barracks and in the field had given him thoro u g l ! satisfaction. He also addressed Col. Anderson and r Lieut.-Col. Turner, assuring them that the out in which his instructions had been carried ca merited his best acknowledgments. • n at Wool..

We know not why the attempt has not even been made. By whom could the " Country Parson" of the 19th century, or its " Church Porch," have been described so well as by Koble ? Thus was Keble, at the age of 33 orlittle more, the author of the great religious work of his age, with a circle of warm friends and admirers, and of almost unequalled standing at Oxford. Ho was, of course, twice chosen Public Examiner, twice Select Preacher, and when Dean Ireland founded a University scholarship for the encouragement of classical literature, Keble had to help in starting it as one of the first Board of Examiners. Perhaps he was fastidious, but he complained that there was more scholarship than poetry in the papers. He soon bad to be disappointed—yes, Keble to be disappointed, though lightly and lovingly, indeed, did he bear it. In 1828, a year after the publication of the "Chris tian Year," Dr. Coplestone became Bishop of Llandaff, and the Provostship was vacant. Mr. Keble was the senior of those who had any pretensions to succeed, and hedid not re serve his wish to succeed. He had spent many years in the College, and had his own views for its management —for views there then were, and had long been. He spor tively proposed that the red gown should be given to Tyler (late of St. Giles's and St. Paul's), the work to the present Provost, Riad the money to himself. There were a few in the college who most honestly felt, and not without grounds, that Keble did not understand the management of young men. A college contains a great number and variety of young men, who have to be treated at once uni formly and variously ; some with entire confidence, and even closer regards ; all with delicate caution and careful respects. It was probably feared that Keble would have his favourites in the college, men deserving to be favourites, but that a good many others would find themselves in the position of outsiders, the outer world of the college. This fear decided the election, though Keble did not think it well founded, as he thought he did understand young men. There can be no doubt that ho did understand both good young men and young men not so good ; but perhaps that was not the question the college had to decide. It is need less to say that it made not a particle of difference in, his feelings to his friends. Soon after, about 1831, Keble suc ceeded Milman as Professor of Poetry, the most popular of the Oxford professorships. His chief subject was Homer, and perhaps he had a share in reinstating the father of poetry in that favour from which, the revival of "scholar ship" and the Greek plays had somewhat deposed him. The lectures were at first and for some time well attended; but undergraduates do not easily catch Latin flying, and the elaborate punctuation with which Keble tried to make the dead language easy to living ears only made it more tedious. Milman had resorted to the irregular expedient of introducing long and lively translations, some amusing as wellas interesting; but even Coplestone, with a majestic Latinity of his own, with much copiousness of thought, and a most melodious voice, had had to complain of flag ging attendance. Keble held the professorship for the usual term of ten years, and when that was over the great religious controversy was raging, and of the two candi dates that offered themselves one was rejected because he was a friend of Keble and a High Churchman ; the other was elected because he was not.

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, - with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they . are homeless and starving. The Manager, &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, 'and orphans are, for want accommodation, refusedadmitance, and have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and feod to the really starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.— The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TE KAM are of vital importance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex ending over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi tive sufferer a Nystem of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a specialitd I.ertaining only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth from 6s. Sets from 6to 25 gs., warranted.

It is necessary to pass over academic incidents, as well as passages of our political history, that affected the state of opinion and parties at Oxford. But Keble was a Tory, he was a very fast friend, he 'entered warmly into the troubles of the generous and good, and was readily at their call. In justice to his noble qualities, and in deep reverence for his nature, we shall make no further reference to an " Address to the Electors of the United Kingdom," now lying before us, published by him on the occasion of the reform bill, in 1831. Could the gentlemen of England have caught the angel Gabriel in those days we are quite sure they would have made him write up the corn laws, the game laws, the rotten boroughs, and close corporations. But the storm was now brewing, and on Sunday, July 14, Amqiza sermon at St. Marv' ? on in, and which he invited the Uhurch to lollow t eat ing as Samuel had done Saul and the children of Israel, As tho parallel required, the sermon assumed that hereto fore the British commonwealth had been a theocracy, while the people were now abundant for a civil government, ex ternal to the Church, and only receiving its counsels and influence as it might choose to do. The Church of the Apostles was now the only refuge and guide for those who had hitherto dreamt that the Church and State were one. That sermon was the epoch, if not the turning point, of Keble's life. It explains not only why he joined the Ox ford movement, and became one of the three mighty men in its foremost rank, but also, and still more, the special part he has taken in it. His line ever since has been one continued protest against secular indifference and civil assumptions ; and this protest has been rather of a passive than an active character. From the retreat provided him by his old college pupil, Sir William Ileathcote, at Hurs ley, near Winchester, he has steadily and sternly, yet kindly, protested against any supposed injustice, or slight, to the Church of his fathers. Most of these pro tests will too readily recur to the memory of our readers. Where the cause is held to be sacred, and the question vital, it seems impossible to censure assistance, and is cer tainly vain to argue with it. But we may be permitted to express our deep regret that many useful and excellent men should have felt themselves unable to resist Mr. Keble's invitation to join in a protest against, for example, the acceptance of the Lutheran King of Prussia as spon sor at one of our Royal baptisms. We cannot see why it was necessary that any clergyman or layman not personally compromised should even recognize the fact, which in the days of our forefathers might easily not have reached him. The same may be said for a good many protests and con troversial declarations, the only use of which to a states man of supposed secular bias is to furnish him with a list of men carefully to be avoided. The course thus taken has told doubly. On the one hand, it has tended to ele vate the pretensions and to isolate the position of the Esta blished Church; and, on the other hand, it has tended further to divest the State of the quasi -sacred character it once had in Tory eyes. It has dislodged many anxious minds from their old anchorage and set them down the stream past our Church to Rome. We think it important to mark the distinct character of the line taken by the Vicar of Hursley. It scarcely bears out the promise of the " Christian Year," unless the Church is to look for the fulfilment of that in a state of perpetual protest and an tagonism to the State, such as the Nonjurors looked for, The lines taken by Kpble's two great coadjutors, the one still with us and the one who has left us, proved more constructive and more practical. There never was a man of whom it was more true that he was not made for this world. We say that in no invi dious sense, but in the highest and best Keble was made for the Church ; he was made for any sacred office, except possibly that of spiritual government, not for the world. So long as he had to deal with men looking out for a sacred authority he could advise them and minister to them. Ho worked as " working curates" profess to do, in his widely scattered parish. He ministered continually in the beautiful church he had raised out of the profits of the Christian Year, strangely enough, over the remains of the Cromwell family. He assisted with his advice and aid writers and translators. Ho won the hearts of everybody about him not only by his goodness but by a wit sparkling like diamonds, and a gentle humour soft as pearls. He was totally without affectation in thought, word, or deed ; never once on stilts in his whole life. Had he attempted it, he must soon have come down. Ho was not made for a wide circle ; and he shunned gatherings. He found his church in the parish, and the parsonage, and perhaps we should add the squire ; but nations and great towns were out of his soundings. Very early lie pronounced a great town a great evil, and held it at least a sin for a villager to seek his fortune in the wide world. It almost adds to the claims of the Christian Year to be a sort of Revelation, that having brought it, in an almost preternatural manner, as if from the skies, the author had done so little since. It is not that he has not laboured ; for ho has never ceased to labour, but the Christian Tear is his work. He has written a metrical version of the Psalms, but his reverence for the original has driven him to follow the Hebrew order as much as possible, and to add not a word more than he could help. The result is useless for any purpose, except the scholars ; for the translations cannot be sung, and can hardly be read with pleasure. Keblo had a fine ear for ex pression, but, like some of his college contemporaries, had no ear for music, and deplored his deficiency. As Profes sor of Poetry ho had to write the Ode on the Installation of the Duke of Wellington. It was a good ode, and must have reminded Keble's friends of an old saying of his, that if ho were not a clergyman ho would be a soldier. But the Professor of Music had to play sad havoc with the Ode before he could set any part of it to music—much to the indignation of the author's young admirers. It is needless to say that Keblo has edited many books and authors, in cluding Hooker ; he has contributed many religious poems to collections made by his friends, such as the Childs Christian Year ; he has lived, indeed still lives in no i s o e n n d se s: so continually has he been at the serv ice of his But he has only done one thing—if that be t o create l a n _ typlg thing, and a thing that shall live for generationsthat tho Christian Year. • ‘z•411.4: - • At' - i 11( V Wow t ... - 0.131 • ATh, sari. -•- . _ 1 ,4 47: \\ tv• ; I • • '72 ql ". 1610111 W; • 'I.

To most of those in the rough work of the world the name, if to them a name at all, belongs to the past ; but everywhere throughout this empire are hearts and households to which the news will come like a far dis tant sound, more felt than heard. So retiring were the personal habits of the.rettn, so quiet and unambitious his course, that we must begin with dates, places, and names. It was an Oxford tradition that Keble was only 18 when he obtained, with the greatest ease, a double-first—that is, the first class both in classics and mathematics. This was at Easter, 1810, and would put his birth in 1792, so that he would have died in his 75th year, but as we see different statements on this point we make ours under correction. It was commonly said that at the age of 14 he became a scholar at Corpus, where they used to elect very early, and soon became known as an exact and elegant scholar. Few of his admirers would suspect him of mathematical powers, but no one who knew his force of mind and resolute will could doubt that he would master any task his friends and tutors set him to. He was soon elected Fellow of Oriel, of which Coplestone was then Provost. It was not till two years after his degree that his name appeared in any prize list. He then had the chance of writing " a Prize Composition in Verse" on "Moses conducting the children of Israel," on " Mahomet," and on "John the Baptist ;" and no doubt he made the attempt, but the mould was probably too stiff for him, and he did not succeed. In 1812 ho obtained at once the prizes for an English Essay, on Translation from Dead Languages, and a Latin Essay comparing the military memors of Xenophon with those of Caesar. Both subjects have a curious bearing on his works and character, of which more by and by. He be came tutor, and some of the most distinguished men - of the age passed through his lecture room. He was Public Examiner In 1814 and 1815, at an ago when most young men are trembling in the hope of a " pass " —that is, if we are right as to his age, and again in 18 1 and 1822. About this latter date he ceased to reside, and re tired to his father's living of Fairford, where he had a few select pupils, and whence he made frequent visits to Ox ford. During the whole period of this residence at Oriel, Keble was in contact with Coplestone, Whateley, Davison, and several other men of great intellectual power, and rather boldly speculative in religion as well as politics. The old " Oriel School" was then one of the facts and one of the terrors of the age, and Keble can have had no'easy time of it. But Davison ho loved and admired ; he gathered about him young friends, Burrell Froude, Newman, and the Wilberforces ; and, as men looking out for a prophet and teacher, all these hada great admiration for an almost forgotten man, John Miller, of Worcester College. In 1827, 39 years ago, came out the Christian Year, than which no book of modern times has come nearer to what we may call a Divine work. The greater part had already existed for some time in albums, written under great va riety of circumstances. Bome of the poems were the work of a.day—a fe_w hews. It was_talli.:ivhen half or more , listen to those who wanted the whole year, and in print. The root springing up out of a dry ground was tender and sensitive ; and in those days and in that small circle it was thought oven shocking to publish a sermon actually preached. But with much violence to feeling the MSS. were collected, printed, advertised, and sold. They were not for everybody and everybody was not for them ; but, with all their faults, which aro great, they came straight from the inner soul of a good, and true, and saintly man, and they member tstraoif the Church inner C th h e urchof soul England. All ryhe hearty and weread n honestthen at Oxford, in the first ring raised by the pebble in the glassy pool, remember the effect there. Men read the poems, and shortly found that without one conscious effort at learning they could say every word. An undergraduate would enter a room, seat himself at the fire, and, in a tremulous voice, pour our " Keble" without end, re ceiving the faintest sign of impatience in his host with indifference, if not contempt. It was a positive possession, and soon a wide, a spreading, and a growing one. Woe to men not naturally saintsor blessed with good memories ! Men of standing could hold their own and venture to criticise. The Goliath of the Low Church party talked of Keble's " obscure lyrics," and asked what they worn about. But that Low Church party itself was having meetings of its own and running off to Dissent, and protesting, oven in the University pulpit, against the Church of England, root and branch, altogether. But "The Christian Year" did notprosper the less for being addressed to ears willing and prepared. It was soon found every where. To the surprise of the Oxford world, edition ra pidly succeeded edition. At that time it was thought im possible to get a spontaneous sale for a really sound reli gious work, the thing must be done by subscription. But this book had a life of its own. The editions, and the thousands published, were counted with pride. To be sure, something was taken out of that pride by the vastly greater sales of Robert Montgomery's books, and Pollock's " Course of Time ;" but then those were addressed ad paptdute, and this book ad gregem. The " Christian Year" has, however, survived them, and .has reached its 80th edi tion. It will survive them, and be the Church of England's manual of meditative poetry for centuries to come.

The path of the Anglican devotee through all these stumbling-blocks, cavernous recesses, sloughs of despond, and real terrors must be narrow and difficult. It is not much to say of an undertaking in this present year of grace that it is an unbroken tradition from the great Caroline Divines. It so happens that per plexity, obscurity, peculiarity of opinion verging on error, the marks of particular schools and of personal character, have kept this tradition very winding, low, and narrow. It has been complicated with the political mistakes of the Non-Jurors, the abstruse wisdom of Norris of Bemerton, the singular philosophy of Hutchinson, which even now has High Church followers, and the opinions of almost every man who could obtain for the Church the most tem porary and the most useless battle ground. If we venture to say that the " Christian Year" is too exclusively the manual of well-educated Church people, we must take a test. Let that test be the cleverest and best girl in a National School, the teacher—perhaps we might say the schoolmistress Can she use these meditations intelligently, easily, and • usefully, even with every favouring circum stance ? We fear not. Out of more than 100 poems only 20 are not absolutely obscure, though even in this case we should expect such a person as we have supposed to read them with some fixed and inveterate misunderstandings of the text. There are about 15 more that such a person would master with more difficulty and oven less success. More than 70 aro really only meant for people who with a little aid could make out the train of thought in a Greek Chorus. In one of them there is a transition so violent that nobody was yet found who could bridge it over orsay what reference the end of the poem had to the beginning. Indeed we were once told that the author himself expressly declined to help an admirer through the gap. The natural and most rightful comparison is with George Herbert, and here something is to bo said on both sides. George Herbert also would be difficult to all but the highly educated. He wrote, however, two centuries and a half since, and it is not fair to him to compare him with poets of these days. On the other hand, ho began to write when Shakspere was in his grave, and yet the plays of Shakspere are performed without the change of a word to understanding and enthusiastic audiences at Sadler's-wells. It may be answered that the affairs of the world, and in deed all the matters that enter into conversation, and the game of social life, are more beaten ground, and more familiar modes, than the secret workings of the soul.
