The Court Suitor.

The following passage from Sponsors
''Mother Hubbard's Tale" was once of
frequent quotation, az one Of the most
pregnant summaries Of human mortifica-
tion to be found in oil the poets. Spenser
is so little read in these days that the
passage has quite gore out of the memories
of men. AS the subject OF complaint still
continues. and is as much as ever the cause
of modification to honorable minds, it
may be as we'll to supply it to our readers
as quotation apt of application among
themselves. Certainly. The days of "conrt
neglect" aud kissing going by favor" are
not over, and are as apparent in modern
republics as they were in ancient despo t.
isms. Many noble statesman. now on
the shelf. will be able to apply it, whether
his reference be to monarch, or to the
most wise. virtuous, meek and deservine G
sovereign people. Experts. whether as
clerks, or generals, or politicians, or port.
ers, are the only parties who can ever
hope to succeed by "louting low" The
truly brave and honest man knows not
we'll how to
tCrook the pregnant hinges of the knee,
That thrift may follow fawning."
But we will not keep the reader from
Spenser. whose mournful complaint, expe
renced in his own career, is among the
mcst vigorous Of his verses We have
modernized the spelling, where the line
would admit of it:
Full little knowest thou, that hast not
tried.
What hell it is in sueing long to 'bide:
To lose good days that might be better
To waste long nights in pensive discon-
To speed to. day. to be put back to morrow:
To feed on hope, to pine with fear and
sorrow;
To have thy princes (people'sl) grace. yet
want her (their) peers;
To have thy asking. yet wait many wears;
To fret thy soul with crosses and with
cares;
To eat thy heart through comfortless de-.
aPairs:
To fawn. to crouch, to wait, to ride, to
run;
To spend. to give. to want, to be undone!
Unhappy wight. born to disastrous end,
That doth his life in 80 long tendance

Why was this resignation OF Mr.. CAMP

reason for Mr. G.'s subsequent resigna-
