sponsble tyrant in his own family. And be-
ing called upon to discourse and act on politi-
cal rights, he sets quite too light by the sane
tions of royalty and the duties Of subjects,
and helps those who kin their king.
His own home, unhappy and desolate, was
sad and touching comment upon his wrong
principles; and his blind, lonely old age
seemed like q temporal retribution.
But there is another and glorious side of
the picture. His splendid intellect was be-
slowed, always, on noble subjects, and with
the exceptions named) was always exercised
in a noble way. His learning was marvellous !;
he is thought, indeed, to have been the most
learned Englishman of his age, In imagina-
tive faculty and musical power, he is almost
without an equal We hear and talk most of
the Paradise, his masterpiece, so-called but
we would certainly gain more pleasing view
of the poetical genius of Milton, and would
be readers as we'll as admirers of his works
flor the fashion is to praise rather than read
theml il we took up his minor poems, instead
of this. Begin with Comus, a lovely pastoral
drama. Go again and again through the Al
legro and the Penseroo, till they fairly sing
themselves to you, when you are pensive and
when you are gay. Then, for your moods of
stately drama, read the Samson Agonistes.
And when the Christmas chimes are pealing,
and the Christmas lights aglow, take up his
NatiDity Hymn. These studies will familiar
ize you with the best side of one of England s
grandest authors-for in these poems there is
not one particle of his errors; and they will
make You acquainted, too, with some of the
sweetest and loftiess verse that English tongue
ever uttered. X.

" But think he will see me, said Grant.

man was talking to me. Finally said

" He continued, however, to stop aud talk
to me, and finally said
You must not presume too much on your
opportunity, and, perhaps, if you don't go in
now may take back my suggestion"
"Grant finally looked me in the eyes aud
said, odd you ever see me or anybody like
me before?''

that most rare and beauteons passage in
which he describes Sarah Perrepont, his

"Vita Nuova" has hardly anything more
mystical "They say there is young lady
in New Haven who is beloved of that Great
Being who makes and rules the world, and
that there are certain seasons in which this
Great Being, in some way or other, comes to
her and fills her mind with exceeding sweet
delight, and that she hardly cares for any
thing except to mediate on Him. She has a
singular purity in her affections is most just
and conscientious in all her conduct and you
could not persuade her to do anything wrong
or sinful if you would givc her all this world,
lest she should offend this Great Being. She
is of a wonderful calmness, sweetness, and
universal benevoence, especially after this
great God has manifested himself to her
mind. She will sometimes go about from
place to place, singing sweetly, and seems to
be always full Of joy and pleasure, and no one
knows for what. She loves to be alone. walk

have some one invisible always talking with

"SIT " AND "SEr." MANY Of the agri-
cultural journals are sorely troubled to know
whether hen sits or sets. If some editor of
dignity world set hen on the nest, and the
little editors would let her sit, it would be
well for the world. Now a mau, or woman
either, can set hen, although they cannot
sit her neither can they set on her, although
the old hen might sit on them by the hour if
they would allow. A man can not set on the
wash bench but he could set the basin on it
and neither the basin nor the grammarians
would object. He could sit on dogs tail IL
the dog were willing, or he might set his foot
on it. But If he could set on the aforesaid
tail, Or sit his foot there the grammarians as
well as the dog would howl. And yet, strange
as it may seem, the man might set the tail
aside and then sit down and neither be assail.

POETRY.
DREARf

There's not a bit of blue In the sky,
No tinge Of blue in the air;
The world seems gray, and cold, and dead,
And lonely everywhere.
The birds have flown, the leaves are gone
No flower lights up the way,
The winds can only sigh and moan,
The world is sad to day.
The river frowns at low, gray skies
That only frown again;
From seas low waves of mist drift in
Pale heralds of the rain.
My heart makes moan for treasures gone,
And cloud and shadow come,
Yet Faith shines clear and Hope sings near,
And Love keeps flowers a bloom.

A MoTHER.--A touching incident occurred
few weeks ago at the distributing of prizes
in the English School OF Sciences and Arts at
Keighley.
The Bishop Of Manchester gave the prizes.
To the pupils and most of the large audience,
the Bishop occupies the place Of father TO
his children; not only revered as man Of
God, but as liberal, practical thinker one
of the leaders Of opinion in England in all
matters which influence the elevation OF hui
manity.
Surrounded by the boys and their parents,
the good Bishop suddenly was led to speak Of
his own mother. and told tho story Of how
she, mot clever managing woman, (" had
been left widow with seven children how
her great love and trust IN God had helped
hen to live, sacrificing not only luxury, but
comfort, to make home bare of all but tho
most meagre necessaries, bright and happy
as the House Beautiful, whose chambers were
called peace, and from which could be seen
the hills of heaven. Most of her children,
through her efforts, rose to positions where
they could help to make the world wiser aud
better. "She is now, said the Bishop. with
