SUgar-and-Water Verses.

Finish alone is like a trimming to a
dress without any dress to put it on;
and a meaning is as necessary 10 per-
feet verse as the bass undertOne to a
perfect orchestra. 1t is true that this
bass by itself, whether the depth of the
bassoon, the baritone of the trombone,
or even the rhythmic beat of the drum,
is overpowering or disagreeable; but
all these discharge necessary office OF
support and enrichment for the decOra-
tions of the light flute and the piercing
cornet,a-piston. AS Mozart said, "there
was one thing in music worse than a
flute, i. e., two flutes;;" so we think the
more there is of melOdic verse which
is empty of meaning, the Worse II is
IT is like q whole orchestra of shrill
flutes and tinkling guitars. Words are
only valuable when they express some
thing, and silly poetry is even more
worthless than silly prose, inasmuch as
it aims at a higher and more regular
form of expression, therefore its failure
Is more of a disappointment; and also
for the reason that beautiful form comes
by labor, and it is pity to see labor
bestowed on what is worthless when
finished. You expect a drink of rich
and generous wine, and you are offered
some tepid sugar and water-not even
rose-water, These eaf saoree verses are
often graceful, delicate, pretty, and this
may seem praise enough; but when
you remember that the same praise
can be justly bestowed on y mould of
blancmange, it can hardly seem sufii-
cient. Riancmange Is a concOction
made up by the cOnfectioner, which a
spoon breaks into shapeless mass;and
these mixed and stewed concOctions,
boneless, without the fibre of flesh or
the pulp or juice of fruit, when season.
cd and poured in a mould of initiative
fruit or flowers, can never bear the
critics knife. There must be structure,
even in poem, to have 1t worth any,
thing, not hony, prOtruding structure,
but something that holds the parts in
cOherency.
