confess that increasing years bring withthe
an increasing respect for those who do not

used. Heaven is said to bo q place for
those who have not succeeded upon earth ;
and IL is surely true that celestial graces do
not best thrive and bloom in the hot blaze
Of worldly prosperity. III success some.

in themselves good--ffom a conscience too

will not 20 so far as to say, with living
poet, that the world knows nothing Of its
greatest men, but there are forms Of great
ness, or at least excellence, that die and
make no sign; there are martyrs that miss
the palm but not the stake; there are he
,roes without the laurel, and conquerors
without tho triumph"
Sir Walter Scott, being asked to sit for
his portrait for Terry the actor, said that
both he and his dog MAZDA were tired Of
that sort Of thing-M Mazda particularly; she
had been so often sketched that, whenever

The sea around was literally sea oi

in the air, the next buried him in the CORY
sea, carrying down in his vast wake whirl
pool Of foam and slime. But this respite
was short. He rose again, rushing furi
ously on his enemies; but slight prick oi

and terror. Which ever way he turned,
the barbed irons goaded him to desperation,
Now and again intensity Of agony would
cause him to lash the water with his huge
fukes, till the very ocean appeared to heaye
and tremble at his power. Tossing, strug-
