WORDSWORTH HAzL1rT ARD LAMB.

From Miss Kate Fields pleasant paper
on the last days of Walter Savage Landor,
in the April number of the Atlantic
Monthly, we copy these interesting remin-
iscences of three eminent English authors.
once asked Landor to describe Words.
worth's personal appearance. He laughed
and replied: "The best description can
give you OF Wordsworth is the ono that
Hazlitt gave me. Hazlitts voice was very
deep and gruff, and he peppered his senten-
ces very bountifully with sirs.' In speak
ing to me of Wordsworth, he said: well,
sir, did you ever see horse, sirs' "Yes,'
"fhan, sir, you have seen Wordsworth, sir
He looks exactly like horse, sir, and ve-
ry long faced horse at that, sir7' And he
did look like horse, added Landor.
Those whedsve seen good likenesses of
Wordsworth will readily remark this re-
sembiance. A greater length of ear
would lken the Lake poet to an animal of
less dignity.
Continuing The conversation thus begun,
Landor said: II saw great deal of Haz-
lit when he was in Florence. He called
upon me frequently, and funny fellow he
WAS. He used to say to me: "Mr Ian
dor, like you, sH,-f like you very much,
sir,--you're an honest man, sir, but I. don't
approve sir, of great deal chat you have
written, sir.'--And again Laudor with
great goodwill.
II regret that saw Charles Lamb but
once replied Landor, in answer to many
questions asked concerning this delightful
man and writer. "Lamb sent word by
southey, q think it was southey) "that
he would be very happy to see me, where
npon we made him visit. He then retir-
ed from the India House, and lived at En-
field. He was more charming in CONVEX
satiop, and his emile impressed me as beipg
particularly genial. His sister also was a
very agreeable person.
During my visit Lamb rose, went to a
table In the centre of the room, took up a
book, out Of which he read aloud. Soon
shutting it, lie turned 10 me, saying: 'Gs
not what I have been reading exceedingly
good?' Very good, IreplieA. Thereup
on Lamb burst out laughing and exclaim-
ed: Did one ever know 80 concsited 9

COTTAGE AND HALL,

Baby has crept to his sheltering nest,
Now that the day is done,
And with wee head pillowed upon my heart,
Has gone to sleep with the SUE.
Roses and dimples are buried quite,
Under the snow Of my bosom white,
And over my heart creep a ringlet bright
A beautiful golded one.
Baby is king in our humble cot,
Enthroned in our hearts sits he,
And never a king had merrier lot
Than baby, it seems to me;
For love in his presence waiting stande.
With tremulous feet and willing hands.
Ready to hy as each within commands,
And his humble slave to be.
Baby is heir to no title old,
Nowhere boarded away,
Are deeds of acres and heaps Of gold,
Which are to he his one day;
But his is heritage better than fame,
The well-earned wealth of an honest name.
Which never has known the brand of shame,
God grant he never may.
So when my household tasks are DER,
And baby, tired is he,
sit down here in the cottage door,
In the shade of giant tree,
And watch where tho broad roads wind
away.
Till somebody comes through the cleaning
gray.
And loving hand in mine doth lay,
Andkiss es baby and me.
There's rich mans mansion over the way,
And through the curtains of lace,
saw, in the arms Of it's nurse to day,
A baby with o wee pale face;
And saw through tears, what saw be-
side,
For not all tho trappinga Of wealth and
pride,
The little mishapen form could hide,
Nor clothe it with simple grace.
And lady 1T at the window stands,
have dreamed Of those as fair,
But wonder il ever the jeweled hands,
The gems of affection wear,
Or the golden curls, over her brow which
STRAY,
Are ever for kisses brushed away;
Her husband has other loves, they say,
And his heart has home elsewhere.
So I love to cit in the cottage door.
With baby upon my knee,
And count to my heart the blessings DER,
Which haye guided my life for me;
For there's many heart which knowetl,
not
The joys and loves of my humble lot,
And would rather be queen of simple cot
Than lady of high degree.
