Poefty.

PAUL QUOTING A HEArHEN PoET.-In Paul's address to the Arhenians (Acts xviii he quotes healhen poet, confirming septi, ment he had uttered. ' For him we live and move, and have our being as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his own offspring.'" Heis supposed to have referred to Aratus the Cicilian, and Clean. thes, the stoic of Assos. MT. Levin has fur nished the following trahslations:
 FROM ARATUs.
 From love begin we. Who can touch the string And not harp pralse to heavens eternal king He animates he mart and crowded way, The restless ocean; and ihe sheltered bay. Doth care perplex? Is danger nigh2 We are hs ofspring, and to love we fly.
 FROM cLEAETHEs.. Great love! most glorious of the immortal band! Worshipped by many names; alone in might l! Author of all. Whose word is natures law! Hail unto thee may mortals lift thy voice, For ,ue thine offspring are. All things that creep Are but the echo of inc voice divine.
Litchfield enquirer., 1854-07-27

enVous scribblers maintained it to be impossible that the poor ignorant tinker should really he the author of the book which was called his.
 He took tie best way to confotind both those who counterfeited him and those who slandered him. He continued to work the gold-feld which he had disco vered, and to draw from it new treasures not indeed with quite such ease and in quite sue abundance as when the precious soil was still virgin, but yet with success which left all competition far behind. In 1884 appeared the second part of the /" Pilgrims Progress" It was soon fol> lowed by the Holy War;" which if the Pilgrim Progress" did not exist, would be the best allegory that ever was witt ten.
 The fame of Bupyan during his life, and during the century which followed his death, was indeed great, but was al- most entirely confined to religious fe- males of the middle and lower classes. Very seldom was he during that time mentioned with respect by any writer of any great literary eminence. Young coupled his prose with the poetry of the wretched D'Urfey. In the Spiritual Quixote," the adventures of Christian are ranked with those of Jack the Giant kill CT, and John Hickathrift. Cowper ven. tured to praise the great allegorist. but did not venture to name him. It is a significant circumstance that, ill a recent period. all the numerous editions of the Pilgrim's Progress. were evidently meant for the cottage and the servants hall. The paper, the printing, the plates were all of the meatiest description. In general, when the educated minority and the common people differ about the mer. it of book, the opinion of the educated minority finally prevails. The Pilgrims Progress" is perhaps the only hook about which. after lapse of a hundred years the educated minority has come over to the opinion of the common people.
