quaintness, oddity, and far-fetchedness, which are the token;
of that fantastic school to which Herbert belonged, and in
which Donne and Cowley are the chief offenders. With all
the impossibilities of translation, the Psalms of David aro
not unintelligible, or even generally obscure, simply be-
cause they are not "affected." But difficult as George Her-
bert is, we are not sure that our supposed national school
girl could not, with study, make out his meaning better
than that of many passages in the "Christian Year."
Against George Herbert must be put his extreme quaint-
ness and sometimes almost barbarous inelegance. In

author before us, rivalled. 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.

PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE,
FOR
HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN,
14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C.
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.
SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be
gratefully received by the Rev. D. GILBERT, D.D., No. 22,
Finsbury-circus, E.C.

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.
For the efficacy, utility, and success of this system, vide

This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to estab-
lish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without
the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly de-
pendent for support on voluntary contributions and legacies.
It affords reliet to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
.lestitute sick has for a considerable period averaged between
71,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the ASSISTANCE of the

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 isoenndses:
so continually has he been at the service of his
But he has only done one thing—if that be tocreatelan
