If We study great men, we shall find
they were not 30 much distinguished by orisi-
nality as BY range or extent Of thought. II
we require Of them thar absolute originality
which consists in weaving, like the spider,
their web from their own bowels, we shall
not succeed in obtaining it. No great man
was original Least Of all does originality
consist in unlikeness to other men. A great
man is centre Of things-seeing the wants
OF other men, and sharing their desires
adds also strength Of arm to come at their
point. The greatest genius is the most in
debted man-the greatest poet is a man
who does not wake up and say,"I will
square the circle, ransack botany, and dis
cover another food for man; have a new
architecture in my mind; l will foresee a
new organic power" No: he is forced on
by the genius Of bis contemporaries. He
stands where all the eyes Of men look, and
their hands all point the direction in which
he should 20. He finds the Materials ready
to his hands; they have sunk the hills and
bridged the rivers for his road. Men, poets.
women, have all worked for him, and he
has entered into their labors- Great gener-
al power. we might almost say, consists In
not being original at all. but 70 the greatest
extent eceptive.-Emersoa.

With the exception Of the noble Surrey.
we cannot point out a representative in the
male line Of any English poet. The blood
of beingsof that order can be seldom traced
far down, even in the female line. There
is no English poet prior to the middle Of the
eighteenth century.-and. we believe. no
great author. except Clarendon and Shafts

childless; Shakspeare's line expired in his
daughters only daughter. None of the
other dramatists Of that age left any proge-

Cowley, nor Butler. The granddaughter
of Milton was the last Of his blood. New

The Dre.u or Ls,s.

When i was young-long, long ago
dreamed myself among thu. flowers;
And fancy drew the picture so,
They seemed like fairies in their bowers,
The rose was still rose, you know
But yef maid. What could do?
You surely would not have me 20,
When rosy maidens seem TO WOO,
My heart was gay, and mid the throng
Isported for an hour OF two;
We danced the fowery paths along,
And did As youthful lovers do.
But sports must cease, and so dreamed
To part with these my fairy flowers
But, oh, how very hard il seemed
To say good bye mid such sweet bowers.
And one fair maid, with modest air,
GaEed on me with her eyes Of blue;
] saw the tesr-drop gathering there
How could say to her, Adieu!
fondly gave my hand and heart,
And We were wed. Bright hour of youth
How little did think to part
With my sweet bride whose name was Truth
But time passed on, and Truth grew gray,
And chidcd, though with gentIest ant
loved her, though went astray,
Ard almost broke her faithful heart.
And then I left her, and in tears
These could not move my hardened breast!I
! wandered, and for weary yeaD
sought for bliss, but found no rest
! sought-yet ever sought in vain
To find the peace, the joy Of youth;
At last turned me back again,
And found them with my faithful Truth.
