Corneille, Racine, and Boileau were all poetical old bachelors. Gray was, in every sense, real and poetical, cold, fastidious old bachelor, at once shy and proud, sensitive and selfish. In looking through his memoirs, letters, cation that he ever was under the influence of woman. He loved his mother, and was dutiful to two tiresome old aunts who thought
 poetry was one of the seven deadly sins. His genius survives in his elegy and odes. What became of his heart we know not. He might well moralize on his bachelorship, and call himself 'sa solitary fly." Collins was never a lover, and never married. He is re- ported to have been once in love; and, as the lady was one day older than him. self, he used to say, jestingly, that Che came into the world day after the fair" He wrote an ode on the pas ions, in which, after dwelling on hope, fear and despair, and pity, he dismisses love with couple of lines. Such was Collins idea of love. Goldsmith died unmarried. Shenstone was not found to captivate; his person was clumsy, and his manners disagreeabIe.

Keep Your Promise.

A boy borrowed 8 tool from 8 car penter, promising to return it at night. Before evening he was sent away on an errand, and did not return until late.

By day light he was up, and nowhere was the tool to be found. After long, fruit less search he set off for his neighbours in great distress to acknowledge his fault.

And then it appeared, from the prints of his little bare feet in the mud that the lad had got up in his sleep and carried the tool home, and gone to bed again without knowing it. Of course a boy who was prompt in his sleep was prompt when awake. Respected while he lived, he had the confidence of his neighbors, and was placed in many of- fees of trust and profit. If all grown persons felt as this boy did there would be great many tracks of bare feet found some of these bright mornings, and what piles of books and tools would be found at their owners doors !!
