pIvERsITIgs OF JUDGMENT

IT'S with our judgments as our watches,-none
DO Just alike, yet each believes his own
In poets as true genius Is out rare,
True taste as seldom Is the critics share:
6otn must alike from heaven derive their light
Those born to Judge, well as those to write.
Let such teach others who themselves excel,
And censure RELY who have written well.
Authors are partial to their wit, tits true
But are not critics TO their judgment, too?
IPope.
This passage, from tho poet Gambold, was
the oftenest quoted Of any poetry by Doctor
Chalmers:
am apt to think the man
That could surmount the sum Of things, and spy
The heart Of God, and secrets Of his empire,
Would speak but love. With him, the bright re-
salt
Would change the hue OF intermediate scenes,
And make one thing Of all theology.

Mrs. Long, whereupon John furnished with
much taste rOom-a bower in which Made

until the day of the marriage. But Madeline,
not disposed to receive admiration from but
one John, even though he was long secretly

and affectiOnate interviews. John-that Is
Long, could not stand this Long, so he visited
the bower at an unusual hour, and found il
locked, whereupon he knocked. No answer
was made, but John Long he staid, and peep
ing through the keyhole, his eye saw that
which il were well he had not seen. He
knocked again, and by repeated knocking be
knocked the door open, and there stood Made
line the fair, armed with a chair, and John
Vokates, standing behind armed with like
kind Madeline struck first, and John Long
bit the dust; Vokates let f1y, and hit Long on
the eye. John rose up in a rage, and war
he did wage, until in an hour be had turned
