Melody I'm style.
STARR KING ON THE RHYTHM OF SOME NOTED

One OF the strangest things which a deep
student of Shakespeare learns is the variety Of
his music and rhythm in the same ten-syllable
blank verse. No other writer of his age COM
handed such music, and the movement and
measure of his Macbeth and Romeo, Hamlet
and Antony Lear and Tempest, are as differ
level-had given each the training of life to
one of these plays. And in each case the
movement of melody Is a subtle accOmpani-
ment to the passion or the law that informs
and ensOuls the piece.
The reason why Goethe cannot be translated
is that no equal Goethe stands Oh the English
side of the line to link the equivalent words
with equivalent music. The process of rem
dering Goethe or Beranger into another tongue
is that which German, not over familiar with
our phrases, uses to describe translation; he
says a German book has been upset into
English" reader with an ear for melody
has feast spread for him i'm Saxon poetry fit
for Apollo. Many person imagineS that a
poets office Is akin to that of wood sawyers-
that IL Is their business to saw up language
into measure, and pile it even and gracefully,
rhymed at the end. But with the ear for
rhythm, Milton and Wordsworth, COleridge
and Shelly, Keats and TennySOn, are richer
than an organ in the house.
Charles Mackay'S verses seem as though they
were composed on an even, hard trOtting horse
upon macadamized road. Whittier writes
as though a trumpet was continually sounding
through his Quaker soul. What an advance in
melody i'm LGngfellOw from the "VOices of the
Night" with its sweet sixteen poetry and
watha," and his last lyric in the atlantic
Monthly, Paul Reyerefs Rider What ex-
qusite meditatiye imagination in the slow,
sinuOus harmony Of Bryants "ThanatOpsis."
COleridge-and in this respect Edgar Poe
was like him-Seemed to write fragments only
to show how superior is the suggestion OF
sound to the expression OF sense in verse.
Shelley's words, in many of his songs, appear
to stand there simply to prevent the melody
from melting into utter spirit. And Tenny-
sons "Idyls Of the King" the browning work
have been attuned on the globe to read it,
and set free the melody, healthy and delicate,
as the echoes which his own bugle song de-
scribeS:

And thinner, clearer, farther going,

Is TO draw away from the manufactures some
proportion OF the great over-suppy of labor
As the government lands in the west are too
far on to be reached, Mr.. Burritt proposes that
a few citizens Of Virginia, choosing that as an
easily-accessible state, having the most spare
land and the greatest natural advantages,
shall form company, buy, say 1900 acres OF
wooded land, divide it into thirty-acre allot-
ments, and then advertise in the crowded

THE UNDOMEsTICATED EDITOR of the New
port Local thus relates his matrimonial expe-
rience: "A woman is a mighty handy thing to
more to keep than you'll give her, and shell
take great interest In you. II you 90 out at
night she'll be awake when you get home, and
then shell tell you all about yourself, and more
been and what kept you out so late, and win
tell you; yet, right after she gets through tell
ing you that, she will ask you where you have
been and what kept you out so late. And after
you tell her, and she won't believe you, you
mustn't mind that; and II, after going to bed,
she says she hasn't closed her eyes tie whole
hours longer, and WON'T 20 to Sleep when She
has chance, you mustn't mind that, either

Charles Summers Religion.

1t is said. We know not on what AUTHORITY
that the only record of Charles summers re-
lgiOuS views, either in his early life or i'm later
years is confidential letter to his college
friend, Rev. DIR. Stearns of Newark, n. J.
The belief this youthful letter expresses was
perhaps little modified in his ripper age, as re-
CARDS the creed of the churches and the ma
ture OF Christ, but he grew into sense of God
which he had not attained at the writing of
this letter. 1t is an Illustration of the supreme
honesty OF the man that he could not pretend
to the feeling which he did not have. After
saying to his frierd that ne had been studying
the evidences of Christianity he proceeds:
Il remained and still remain unconvinced
that Christ was commissioned to preach a
revelation TO men, and that he was entrusted
with the power Of working miracles. But when
make this declaration, do not mean to deny
that such being as Christ lived and went
about doing good, or that the body of preceptS
which have come down to us as delivered by
Him, were so delivered. believe that Christ
lived when and where as the gospel says; that
He was more than man, namely, above all
men who had as yet lived and yet less than
God; full OF the strongest sense and knOwl
edge, and OF virtue superior to any which We
call Roman or Grecian or Stole, and which We
best donate when. borrowing His name, we
call it Christian. | pray you do not believe
ness of his character. My idea of human ma
ture is exalted when think that such a being
lived and went as man among men. And
here, perhaps, the conscientious unbelieyer
may find good cause for clarifying his God :
not because He sent His Son into the world to
partake Of Its troubles and be the herald of
glad-tidings, but becauss He suffered man TO
be born i'm whom the world should see but one
of themselves, endowed with qualities calcu-
lated TO elevate the standard of attainable ex-
eellence. l do not know that l can say more
without betraying you into a controversy i'm
which should be lOath to engage, and from
which am convinced no good will result to
either party; do not think have basis for
faith to build upon. l am without religious
feeling. / seldom refer my happiness or acqui-
sitiOnS to the Great Father from whose mercy
they are derived. OF the first great command
ment, then, upon which SO much hangs live
In perpetual uncOnsciOusnesS-I will not say
disregard, Tor that, perhaps, would imply that
II was present in my mind. / believe, though
that my love to my neighbOr-namely, my anx-
iety that my fellow-creatures should be happy,
and disposition to serve them i'm their honest
endeavOrs-is pure and strong. Certainly do
created; and this feeling is my religion.

MONKEYS IN THEIR "CuPs."-The ape FAM
lily resembles man. Their vices are human.
They love liquor, and fall. In Daffour and
Scar the natives make fermented beer, of
which the monkeys are paSsiOnately fond.
Aware of this, the natives go to parts of the
forest frequented by the monkeys, and set ON
the ground calabashes full Of the enticing
liquor. AS soon as the monkey sees and tastes
1t he utters loud cries OF joy, that soon attract
his comrades. Then an Orgie begins, and i'm a
short time they all show degrees of intOxica-
ton; Then the negroes appear. Some of the
drinkers are too far gone to distrust them, but
apparently take them for a larger species of
their own genus. The negroes take some up,
and these begin to weep and cover them up
with maudlin kisses. When the negro takes
one by The hand to lead him OF, the nearest
monkey will cling to the one which thus finds
a support, and endeayor to 60 on also. An
other will clutch at him, and so on until a
negro leads staggering line Of ten or a dozen
tiPsy monkeys. When finally brought to the
village they are securely Gagged, and gradually
sObered down; but for two or three days a
gradually diminishing supply of liquor Is given
them, SO as to reconcile them by degrees to
their state of captivity.

''If were wanting suit Of clothes

I'd get my clothes of Mr.. A. Straus
For these days of December frost:
So strong and stout they will hardly wear out,
And it's strange how little they COST
s'Merry Christmas 10 all.'' the gentleman said,
AS he looked on his little boys,
Who were getting ready for Christmas time
And making jolly noise.
''I'll get them an oyercoat apiece
And suit of clothes 10 boot.
There's no place at all like that Of A. Straus
To purchase nice new suit
s'Merry Christmas TO all.'' the schooI-boy said,
With a bouncing glad hurrah.
''Just think of the bargains OF Mr.. A. Straus,
The biggest you ever saw.
To make this Christmas merry for me,
And merry for all school boys,
Just buy, If you please, such presents as these
That you get of Mr.. A. Straus.''

Buy your Presents for the Boys Big Brother,

from his home i'm ROXbury district. In his
congregation was dear, sanity old lady-a
yeritable mother i'm Israel-who loved her pas
tor and would not tolerate the thought that he
could do anything wrong. AS she was being
logged along the Mill Dam road i'm the family
carriage one Sunday morning on her way to
church, accompanied by her son, the pastors
team bore down upon them at a $50 gait-it
being a little late-and passed them like a
