said, and it was generally understood because
Official responsibilities were annoying to him. and
because he preferred the quietude of professional

people gave him thousands and thousands of
votes,-while SCOTS foolish pandering. under

Iot, what is wisdom without memory a babe that

The path Of the swallow in the air; the path of the
dolphin in the waters;
A cask running out; IL bottomless chasm; such Is
wisdom without memory.
There be many wise, who cannot store their knowl-
edge;
Yet from themselves are they satisfied, for the toun-
tain is within:
There be many who store, but have no wisdom OF
then own,
numbering their armory with weapone their mus

There be many thieves and robbers, who CLEAN and

Calling into memory help some cunningly devised
Cubala.
But to iced the mind with fairness, to fill thy grona

Nor clog wl.h chat and straw the threshing aool
of reason,
Reap the ideas, and house them well; but leave thu
words high stubble,
Strive 10 store up what was thought, d~cspising wha
was said.
For the mind is a spirit, and drinketh in ideas, al
flame melteth into fame,
But for words, it mast pack them as on floors, cum

occurrence. The history Of the heroine Of the
Story, Xuleika, the Circassian Slave, purchased Mt

less yet chivalric, ScymOur-the commander Of
the Albatross, is simply the narration of a fact,

tHrs portrayed throughout the story are wildly and
graphically drawn.

LoNGFELLow's SHOWER SONG.

How beautiful is the rain!
After the dust and heat,
In the broad and fiery street,
In the narrow lane,
How beautiful is the rain!
How it clatters along the roofs,
Like the tramp of hoOfs!
How it gushes and gurgles out
From the throat Of an pverfowing water-spou'
Across the window pane
1t pours and pours,
And swift and wide,
With a muddy tide,
Like n river down the cutters roars-
The rain, the welcome rain!
