But we would not have been betrayed SOY
far in extracts and comments had Eye To-
car' noS esseYed the role of a critic. 1pro
pos, we pensurc the intliction of another ex-
tract ami comment, which we will preface
with a brief explanation:
At starting one OF the trio of Mt. Savage
visitors sailed, no doubt anonymously,
'suuirc," was not visible an occurrence
which gave rise to the pleading inquiry
of Casabianca with a variation-"Thc
Souirc--'O where is hep followed by the
lucid b,a not poctical rejoinder-"Among
the MISSING quotation of indefinite or
igin. Then, after . poetical jerk, the cX-
tract shows the prcdicamcnt in which he
was found:
We'll, Squire or no Squire, we got on
board and 10 there he sits heels over head
in the columns of the Times"
And this after discovering n metaphor
cal irregularity in mud, slush and re-
proacl1r' TO find a man sitting 'heels oy-
er head" He might have discovered him
"sct,in' etandin'," like the Dutchm,n's hen,
or sitting in his own lap, without occasion
ing half cur Incredibly 1t would seem
nonsense could no further go, but-ochere
was this inverted gentleman sitting? I'm
the columns of the Times "a situation of
uncxampled interest to paper of fair pro-
portions-much like the groccr's charge of
three gallons of fluid III two gallon jug
the purchaser mot caring for the over
charge, but for the powerful strain on the
jug Happily for the Times, the ANegan-
iaas rcpcr, should not be taken literally any
more in this than in its attempt at criticism

Shakespeare and Mother
GOOSE. c3c.--Under the heading of
"Frostburg items Condensed from the jour
NAL" the high-fying local" ofthe -AUegoa
i'm quotes lis as follows:
Men at the municipal helm who can
steer the town above mud, slush and
reproaCh.
Here is how he c2J,danses:
The metaphor is mixed but the suggcs
ton is happy. Some such an issue would
not be q bad one in our own burg.
In all SobIiety, in what a swirling mud
ocean must tie ship of state be tloundering
up there when the demand for hclmomen
assumes the form of such pleading cnirca-
~. NV no would fardels bear, to grunt
and sweat under weary life" in the midst
OF raging mud ocean? Oh for a helms
man Louder louder.l louder !. let the
cry ring out, till il crack the sky"
We might feel enyious of his personal fc-
licitation after that effort, but we are in no.
wise ambitious to acquire style ofauthor-
ship more Shakspearian than Shakespeare,
or "gooscy' than Mother Goose.
Here is another choice paragraph:
The atmosphere of Frostburg is "prcg-
pant with celestial fire. They have II de-
batting society up there among whom there
are ''she best actors in the world, either for
tragedy, comedy, history, pastoral, pastoral
conical, historical pastoral, traglcal- histor-
zeal, tragical- historical pastoral,
scene individabIe or poem unlimited The
younger Try, too carry on discussions
through the press on subjects scientific and
unsclentihc, on high matters and low mat
tiers, small matters and great matters, and
all kinds otmatters in a way that don't mat
ter and nobody minds"
The makeup of this involved considera-
bic labor 1t is Of that rare species of com
position known rs the literary pcimnta-
bic" Ii occasions that sort Of circum.ocu-
lion which leads you TO determine how ma
ny changes you can ring ON certain number
of words, and, after you are done, to find
you have said nothing.
Leaving Frostburg we extract II sentence
from "Trip to MI. Savage" which shows
how Musical terms may I've used in the de-
scription OF architecture, in connection with
