the petty influences Of the passing hour

their own merit. This distinction is not
usually drawn and we would counsel
authors, who cannot afford to wait for the
verdict of posierlty, TO suppress any mani
festations Of tie contempt they may feel for
contemporary criticism. At the same time
We would counsel them to reserve and
cherish in their own minds their right of
appeal; to look forward with high and
holy confidence to later judgment; and
by keeping their eyes fixed ON fame, in con-
trsdistinction 10 mere reputation, to enjoy
the best and loftiest privilege Of genius.

One Of the most wonderful OF NJ. Hou-

Of liqueur out Of the same bottle, according
to desire. In Bells Travels in China with
the Russian Embassy in IT'S, We find this
account Of similar performance at Pekin.
The roof OF the room where we sat was
supported by wooden pillars. The juggler
took gimlet, with which he bored one OF
the pillars, and asked whether we chose
white or red winei The question being an
swered, he pulled out the gimlet and put a
quill in the hole. through which ran, as from
a cask, the wine demanded. After the same
manner he extracted several sorts of liqueur,
all OF which had the curiosity to taste, and
lound them good Of their kind. '-Pinker-

tenderness of her sex, have their place in

mind with new charm as blended with the
beloved melody OF her voice. He scarcely
knows WEAKNESS which her song doth not
make him forget, or gloom which is proof
against the young brightness of her smile.
She is the pride and ornament Of his hos

her face was fair. They anayed her, so
rigid and motionless, in the gay dress she
had never worn but for some great fete or
gala, as though this, more than any, were
a day Of rejoicing for her; and thus attired,
with her long hair spread out over her still

her uncofined in the grave. At her feet

Original Writers.

A man who can say things as no one
else can say them, who possesses the charm
Of perfectly original and characteristic
style, who sees by the light OF his own
eyes, and expresses himself in the unhack-
neyed coinage os his own brain, is secure
OF readers. A fresh style is more than a
new subject. There are minds Of such in
herent staleness that all they touch takes
that complexion. They start on their
career like the Gibeonites, with old shoes and
clouted on their feet, and dry provisions for
the way. 1t matters not how new the
topic, with them it is old; we seem to have
heard il all before and are already weary.
In gay contrast with these dull iourneyers
are others 10 whom the common way-side,
the worn-oui paths of life, furnish variety
enough and matter for their genius. They
find novelty and dignity in what we had
hitherto passed over as common and trivial;
they show US distances bathed in light, a
foreground picturesque and fantastic, in
scenes till now too familiar for any definite
impression but tenceforth never to be look
ed al without interest, and forever associa-
ted with their memory. And this gift of
theirs is real power of perception, it is no
exercise Of meie fancy. 1t is not delu.
sion substituted for the reality, but the re-
ahty itself, which our careless, unobsevant
glance had failed to discover before in its
true intricacy and grace.
