Shakesperean readings" "morn-
ings with the poets, etc, are the names
given at present TO certain informal and
charming entertainments much appre-
ciated by those who have the leisure to
devote 70 such affairs. Nobody can
doubt that an accomplished reader may
make such opportunities both agreeable
and profitable. for the difference between
written and spoken eloquence Is very
great-so greal, in fact, that to read

and attractive manner, the reader must
have studied long and well. The world
has endured much from public speakers
as well as from professional readers, and
many an instance Of wicked hilarity in
church has been provoked By the solemn
occupant Of the pulpit. 1t is said that
the cultivated John Randolph corrected
the pronunciation OF the good man who
ministered unto him in his last hours,
but a person less sensitive and eccentric
might criticise the clergyman who gave
out hymn as follows:
He takes young children in his arms
And IN his bOsom-bears.

1t one period Of literary cultivation was
called melodious, and which consisted
in :" slowing up.- a they say in railroad
parlance, on the last line, and lingering
with kind Of painful procrastinatlon
upon the final word. In view Of the ter
rible manglings which have taken place,
and the fine productions which have
been actually slaughtered upon that step
which divides the sublime from the
ridiculous, one might say that "a little
reading il dangerous thing and
those who can not read well would be
wise 10 turn their attention to something
which they could execute with less pain

with her some years. He deserted her
and went to another section and repre-

The Emperor of Austria at Vienna Is
always surrounded by a number of ex-
royalties and seIsnitiss, for whom that
charming capital seems to have = strange
attraction. The scarlet livery Of the
English royal families was for many
yearS familiar sight in Vienna, where
the last of the old irI rIeconcilablss, the late
King of Hanover, resided. Often, too,
the Emperor may bs met with, arm and
arm with the Grand Duke of Tuscany, q
plain-losking, middls-aged man in the
undrsss uniform of an Austrian major.
Sometimes the Crown Prince Of Hanover,
now the Duke Of Cumberland, who has
just married the Prince 50 Thyra, and who
is . Colonel of Austrian cavalry, is his
companion; or Prince Milan, the fat
sovereign, who sits uneasily on the throne
