least alike. History never brought into
nearer or stronger juxtaposition two
eminent men so absolutely opposed Ia
each other in ways of thought and man
ner OF speech. Mr.. Gladstone is in
tense, earnest, thorough. Lord Bea-
consfield is Indifferent, polite, superb
cial. Gladstone, when Chancellor of
the Exchcqucr, would as readily have
placed 4 penny on the income tax aS
made Il Joke. BeaconSficld docs either

light heart. While You hear that Glad

with Disraeli'S addresses. His speeches
are "clever." never great. Perhaps

one great with the force of high
moral character and a ponderous intel
lcct; the other clever only in the sense
that clcverness is superlative.

HcIr l. no milk for babes within this flask;
No childish corals in this caskct lie;
This music will not serve for lullaby,
Nor this spell open when "a fool shall ask
Tn elixir tits To thrill Il hcro's task
And level with "A gods To lift his eye;
And gems are these Surpass what princes
buy,
And scorn to deck the brow that wears a
mask.
This melody l. of the eternal song
Whcrewith the earth was buildcd and the
stars
80 high il scars, so near and deep il swclls.
The genius of this spell IL wrought so strong
As only they that think may pass its bars:
Wise souls, pure hearts, drink life from
these clear wells.
