on whisky speculations We wish he had
made that amount, even on whisky, II any
body was to make It in that way, since there
are few men who make better use of their
money than Mr.. Morrill, man of charity for
the poor, and lberality for good things gem

whisky speculations, nor received dollar be-

position has been such that he might possibly
sell himself for large price to spectators

him. They dare not expose themselves in

ENocH ARDEN by Alfred TennysoD, D. c. L
Poet-lsureate. Roston, Ticknor & Fields.
By a Juror Of competition between Tick
nor g. Fields, and Tilton & Co., famous book
sellers Of famous Boston town, the country
is full Of Enoch Arden-Enoch good and
EnOch poor, Enoch gaudy and Enoch plain,
Enoch costly and Enoch cheap. The facts are
that Mr.. Tennyson desired to have Ticknor
& Fields his sole publishers in America, and
contrary to that, Tilton q Co. published
Enoch Arden in elegant form, as gift book
Ticknor d Fields also issued an edition in
their best style; Tilton then brought out a
cheaper edition and now T. g. f. have is
sued the cheapest Of ala pamphlet edition,
price rs cents. The story is touching one,
and just as good at the cost Of rs cents as at
that of as many dollars.
