Lord Byron was devouring, as he called it, new
novel OF Walter Scot's. sHow difficult it is, =
said he, F" to say any thing new Who was that vo
uptuary OF antiquity who offered reward for new
pleasure Perhaps all nature and art could not
supply new idea. This page, for instance, is a
brilliant one. 1t is full OF wit. but let us see how
much of it is original This passage for instance,
comes from Shakespeare this bon mot from one OF
Sheridan's comedies; this observation from ano-
ther," naming the author "and yet the ideas are
new-modelled, and perhaps Scott was not aware OF
their being plagiarisms. 1t is bad thing to have
too good memory

reply.

him about that novel, and lamented that its author
had not carried back The story nearer to the time

A HINT TO MINISTER'S.

As We fear it may be the mistake of some minis
ters, especially in the early stages of their labor
deal in style of language and augmentation far
above the reach of their hearers the following ex-
cellent sentiment, from Colton's Lacon may be
highly beneficial.
" In addressing the multitude, we must follow
the advice of Cromwell to his soldiers, FIRE Low"
This is the great art of the mehodists. Ii elo-
quence be directed above the heads of our hearers,
we shall do no execution. BY pointing our argu-
ments tow, stand chance of hitting their hearts
as well as their heads. In addressing angels we
could hardly raise our eloquence too high but we
must remember that men are not angels Would
we warm them by our eloquence, unlike Mahomet's
mountain, it mus. come down to them, since they
cannot raise themselves to it. 1t must come down
to their wants and wishesto their hopes and their
fears-to their families and liresides.''
