AMUsEMENTs.-Tru amusements is Of two
kinds, viz; active and passive. The active
and weary man and women-those who ex-
haust every day their vital energies in work
take naturally to passive ammusement.
A lady Of our acquaintance, engaged daily
in severe intellectual tasks, says that moth.
ing rests her like seeing other people work.
For this she goes to the theater, and the
play upon her emotions there rests, and re-
creates her. Indeed, it is the emotional
side of the nature, aud not the active, which
furnishes play to those who are weary with
the use Of their faculties. This fact covers
the secret of the popular success of what is
called emotional preaching. People who
have been engaged all the week 10 exhaust.
ing labor of any kind do not take kindly to
a high intellectual feast on Sunday. They
want to be moved and played upon. This
rests aud interests them, while the profound
discussion of great problems in life and re.
ligion wearies and bores them. They are
not up to it, They are weary aud jade d III
that part of their nature which such dis.
cussion engages. The emotions which have
been blunted and suppressed by their pur-
suits arc hungry. So every form of amuse-
ment that truly meets their wants must be
emotiye, aud must leave them free to rest
in those faculties which are woary.-Dr
Holland, in Scribner for March.

all that is good and true, sweet and healthy
and beautiful, that he has been allowed to
enter this Indian summer Of existence on
earth, in whose Elusive haze characters as
well as objects wear softer beauty. The
American quartet Of poets-Bryant, Long
fellow, Whittier and Lowoll-are a greater
wealth for the country than the vast sum of
is materials that enter into tho accepted
statistics. Take these four lives out Of our
list Of forty-odd millions, and see how poor
indeed We should be. A Poet is not always
priced while he lives as he is afterwards,
yet when he proongs his song from youth
to snowy age he is more likely to be recog-
nized than If, like Keats or Shelley, he rose
only TO disappear like the lark 10 the morn
ing sky. The soul that could attune itself
to the pure and lofty strains Of the "Morituri
Salutamus" must be divinely penetrated with
the poetry Of philosophy and full Of the mel
lowed ripeness of its own medtatons. With
what tender hand il entwines the saplings
Of youth with the messy stems Of age. With
what an undimmed and steady look it turns
to hail the rising and again to salute the de-
cining sun. There are brave men, and
phila nthropic men, and generous men, and
public men in large numbers among us, but
OF poets we have far too few not to offor
each heartfelt graduation as he comes to
the year when We may feel for him venera-
ton as well as love.-BOSton Post.

At Seventy.

The Poet Longfellow touched the Psal-
mist's limit Of human life Tuesday, having
lived to be three-score years aud ten. All
men who reach that ripe age have reason to
rejoice that their days have been 30 long in
the land but to have lived in the company
of the Muses. all that time and looked with
undlmmed eyes through the atmosphere Of
the ideal is given to but few persons, and
entities the recipient of so priceless gift to
the reverential congratulations of all around
him. No American Of SO thoroughly private
a life as Longfellow was ever known SO
widely or loved so well. Perhaps this very
contrast between his rhymes and his shy
habit tends to excite the higher color of in
terest in him. He is emphatically tho poet
Of the people, and, material as we all are in
this worldly age, there was never wider
or profounder love for the best and highest
poetic expression. If he is more moraist
than metaphysician in point of form, he is
more human than either. The fastidious.
ness Of his dlction is wholly on the side Of
sympathy and simplicity Ho makes tho
gem itself draw the popular gaze rather than
the setting. His art is simply that of plac-
ing common and homely things in their real
poetic attitude, in the conscious belief that
in poetry alone is the true reality. The
hearthstOne and doorstep of home wear a
dearer look in all eyes for having been
touched with the magic Of his pencil. He
clothes the plainest walls of human habita.
tons with sentiments so precious as to in
stantly gil their occupants with a happy
content. Children, the blazing fire, the ket.
tie on the hob, the barred floor, the lilac bush
at the door, the dSndelions in the grass, the
robins and bluebrds Of our own New Eng.
land, all are woven into the tapestry that
comes from his silent loom, aud rich and
poor together agree with melting hearts that
il is beautiful.
The most that criticism has essayed in his
case, is to assert that he is not Shakespeare
or Milton, aud may suggest Tennyson. To
US he is all the dearer that he is simply
LOngfellow, aud We rejoice in the namo Of
