Sham Admiration fl1 Literature.


 Miss Martineau once confessed to me that she could see no beauties in F'Tom Jones" ]" "Of course" she said, tthe coarseness dis gusts me, but, apart from that, see no sort of merit in it." 'What?" I replied, ''nc hu- nor, no knowledge of human life p ''No; to me it is a wearisome book" disagreed with her very much upon that point, and do so still; yet, apart from the coarseness, (which does not disgust everybody, let me tell you, there is 8 good deal of tedious reading in E'Tom Jones'" At all events, that expression of opinion from such lips strikes me as note- worthy. It may here be said that there are many English authors of old date, some of whose beauties are unintelligible except to those who are acquainted with the classics; and ''Tom Jones' is one of them. Many of the lntroductions to the chapters, not to men, ton certain travestie of an Homeric battle, must needs be as wearisome to those who are not scholars as the spectacle of burlesque is to those who have not seen the original play. This is still more the case with our old poets, especially Milton very much doubt, in spite of the universal chorus to the contrary, wheth- CT "Lycidas" is much admired by readers who are only acquainted with English literature; I am quite sure it never touched their hearts as for example, ''In Memoriam" does. I once behGld young lady of great literary taste, and of exquisite sensibility, torn to pieces (fguratively) and trampled upon by a great scholar for venturing to make a comparison between those two poems. It's invocation to the Muses, and the general classical air which pervades it, had destroyed for her the pathos of 'Iyeidas," whereas to her antagonist those very imperfections appeared to enhance it's beauty. I did not interfere, because the wretch was her husband, and it would have been worse for her if had, but my sympa- thies were entirely with her. Her sad fate for the massacre took place in public-would, I was well aware, have the effect of making people lie worse than ever about Milton. On that same evening, while some folks were talking about Mir. Morris Earthly Paradise, I heard scornful voice exclaim, ''Oh give me Paradise Lost and with that gentleman did have it out. promptly subjected him to cross oss-examination, and drove him to that extremity that he was compelled to admit he had never read 6 word of Milton for 40 years, and even then only in extracts from ''Enfeld's Speaker" With Shakespeare there is good deal of lying about him-the case is different, and especially with elderly people, for fin their day. as they pathetically term it, Shakespeare was played everywhere and every one went to the play. They do not read him, but they recollect him they are well acquaint- ed with his beauties-that is with the better known of them-and can quote him with man. fest appreciation. They are, intellectually In position much superior to that of fashion able lady of my acquaintance who informed me that her daughters were going to the thea tre that night to see Shakespeare's Turning of the Screw"

During the last six months of the present fiscal year, ending March 31, nine thousand more passengers were carried on the Housa- tonic road than during the corresponding months of last year.
