TENNYsoN's NATURE. Leaving the arch
itecture of Tennyson's poetry and coming to
sentiments which it seeks TO express, we are
struck al once ty the fact that an idylic, or
picturesque, mode Of conveying that senti-
ment is the one natural to this poet, il not
the only one permitted by his limitations.
In this he surpasses all poets since Theocrit-
us; and his work is greater than the Syracus-
ans, because his thought and period are
greater. His eyes are his purveyors; with
''w.sdom at their entrance quite shut out''
he would be helpless. TO use the lingo of
the phrenologist, his locality is better than
his individuality. He does not, like Brown-
ing, catch the secret Of master-passion, nor,
Ike the old dramatists, the very life of action |:
on the contrary he gives VI an ideal picture
of an ideal person, but set against a back
ground more tangible than other artists can
draw-making the accessories, and even the
atmosphere, convey the meaning of his poem
As we study his verse, and the sound and
color Oft enter our souls, we think with
him, we partake of his feeling, and are led to
regions which he finds himself unable to
open for us except in this suggestive way.
The fidelity of his accessories IS peculiar to
the time; realistic, without the Flemish
homelihess; true as -Raphaelitism, ouI
mellowed with the atmosphere of a ripe ART:
This idyic method is not that OF tne ,hoss
INSPIRED poets ana the most !P.;,o ,,r;tn.

non which others have not noted, is almost
nfallihly correct. Possibly he does this toe
methodically, but his opponents cannot deny
that his outdoor Iambles are guided by their

An old man named Honeywell lives
about mile out of Milford, his family
consisting of himself, his wife, very old
and an idiotic daughter, about 40 years
Of age. Althoughy quite wealth, Honey
well is exceedingly miscrly, denying his
family even the necessaries of life Their
diet has for years been merely strong en-
ough to maintain life. On one of the
coldest mornings, of last week this trio
was found huddled around the stove in
the wretched house One lid Of the stove
was off. and the father, mother and daugh-
ter were holding their skinney fingers
over the dying enbers trying to get them
warm. There was not stick of wood to
be found about the house, although but "a
few steps away were acres of woodland
belonging to the freezing family. When
found, the three were stiff with cold, aud
10 an hour more would certainly have
been frozen to death The person who
discovered their condition directly cut
some wood and built fire in the stove.
The first words uttered by Honeywell
when he was able TO speak we're protest
against the putting of SO much wood on
the FIRE By his deliverer = .NJord Her.
