Mr.. VanjenhoiI lectured in Norwall on the
subject of"Poets and Poetry" and reeited from
favorite authors as usual, tragic and comic. The
latter convulsed the audience with laughter
The Reflector says
We fancied that the lecturer became littie
impatient while reoiting the death of Marmion,
by Sir Walter Scott which to Us somewhat
destroyed its beauty. There seemed to be a
disposition to mirth by some and of cOuue
anything of that sort is in bad taste at the re-
cital of tragedy. This was doubtless the idea
of the lecturer, for when be closed, he remark
ed, somewhat saTcasticslly, we thought, every
funny, isn't III very funny!" He, entering
fully into tho scene he was describing, seemed
to be annoyed because all were not affected
in tn, same way. The mirth, whatever there
was, was doubtless on the part of those who
had not been able to quite compose their mirth-
ful emotions, aroused by some Of his previous
recitals
