Teacher and Poet.
From the Christian Union.

FIOuu tue NSlIlsbldu OllOu.
Few Americans, dying, have ever left
behind them larger circle of almost per-
sonal friends than Mr.. William Cullen
Bryant. His personality was felt in his
writings and his works, and he was not only
honored, he was loved, by thousands who
never knew him except through his poems
or his paper. He thus exercised very
profound as well as very wide influence;
an influence much wider and more pro-
found than could have been exercised by
his writings but for the personality behind
them.
The length of his life was itself valua-
bic testimony to the worth of regularity
and temperance in living. His lot was not
only cast in fast age but a fast sphere;
for over half century he was an editor
of metropolitan daily paper. No Ameri-
can life is more wearing than that of such
an editor. Yet he preserved his usefulness
to ripe and serene old age. This he did
partly by the placidity of his temper. the
serenity Of his devout trust and the un-
swerving strength of his political convic-
tions. which partook of the nature OF
religious faith, but scarcely less by the reg
ularity and wisdom of his physical habits.
His first poem was published when he was
ten years old. His literary activity, there
fore. covered a period of upwards of sew
enty years; q fact almost unparalleled in
literary biography. No one ever accused
him or the journal which he controlled of
trimming; he was a pronounced Democrat
when Democracy meant liberty, and Il pro-
nounced Republican when Democracy
meant slayeay; and he gave good blows
and received them in many sturdy battle.
But he was so scrupulOuSly chivalric and
honorable in all contests, so truly gentle
man when most warrior, such Cheva-
lier Bayard among journalists, that he has
left nothing but honor and affection even
among those who were his bitter antogan-
lists.
1t is the fate of editors to be quickly for
gotten. Their best works are but sparks
struck out on the anvil by ringing blows,
and perishiDg almost as soon as they ap-
pear Long after Bryant the editor has
been forgotten Bryant the poet will be sa-
credly remembered. He is the poet of pu-
rity. There is not a casuistical line, not
false line, in all that he has written. He
sanctifed literature by his example. Con-
trast him with the Swinbornes, the Moores
and the Byrons, whose phOsphOrescence is
the phosphorescenee of rOttenneSS. There Is
not line which mother might not read by
the side of her dying child or in the pres
ence of virginia. purity. He was the in
terpreter of nature rather than of human
experience. In this he is allied to the old
Isealites. Among the poets of nature in
our country he was one Of the first. To
the bird, the mountain and the forest he
has given an interest that will never die.
AS man, as political teacher and as
a poet, his life is an example; his works
will follow him; and though he Is gone he
is not lost TO America, which will ever be
purer, truer, better worthier for his noble
life and teaching.

REMARKABLE ECHOES.

In the sepulcher of Metella, the wife OF
Sulla, in the Roman Campagna, there is an
echo which repeats five times, in five differ
ent keys, and will also give back with dis
Effectiveness a heXameter line which re-
uuires two and a half seconds to utter 1t.
On the banks of the Naha, between Blngen
and Coblentz, an echo repeats seventeen
times. The speaker may scarcely be heard
and yet the responses are loud ana distinct,
sometimes appearing to approach, at other
times to come from a great distance. Echoes
eqallys. beautiful and romantic are to be
heard in our own islands. In the cemetry
of the Abercorn family, at Paisley, when
the door of the chapel is shut, the reverber-
atoms are equal to the sound of thunder. Ii
a single note of music is breathed the tone
ascends gradually with a multitrEWe OF ech-
oes till it dies in soft and beWitching MUIR
murs. In this chapel is inferred Margery,
the daughter of Bruce, and the wife of VIM.
Wallace. The echo at the Eagles Nest, on
the banks of Killarney, is renowned tor its
effective repetition OF a bugle call, which
seems to be repeated by a hundred instru-
ments, until it gradually dies away in the
air. At the report of a aannon The loudest
thunders reverberate from the rock, and die
in seemingly endless peals along the dis
tant mountains. At the Castle of Simonet-
ia, a nobleman's seat about two miles from
Milan, a surprising echo is produced be-
tween the two, wings of the building. The
report of a pistol is repeated by this echo
sixty times and ADDISON, who visited the
place on a somewhat foggy day, when the
air was untavorable to the experiment,
counted nftyrsix repetitions. AT first they
were very quick, but the intervals were
greater in proportion as the sound decayed.
1t is asserted that the sound Of one musical
instrument in this place resembles a great
number of instruments playing in concert.
This echo is occasioned by the existence OF
two parallel walls of considerable length,
between which the wave of sound is rever-
berated from one to the other until it is en-
tirely spent.-IHe World of Wonders.
