TIN parity of John Bright's English
has often been surprise TO critical
hearers. who knew that he had en-
joyed in early life but limited advan-
tages of education. Even Mr.. Glad
stone, with his University training and
the literary pursuits Of q long life, has
not the command of such pure and
sinewy English style as that which
marks the speeches Of the Lancashire
manufacturer, who never went TO col
legc or wrote book. In an interview
with an American friend recently. MIR.
Bright referred to habit which ex-
plains the origin Of his good English
style. He has always read, carefully,
the best authors. and especially the
poets. For many years he has read q
poem every night before retiring. He
added a remark complimentary TO our
American poets. OF late years, he
said. his evening readings have been
confined chiefly to American poets,
among whom Longfellow, Bryant,
Whittier and Lowell were foremost.
English poets are too obscure and in
volved 10 be enjoyed. or to serve as
models. Poetry. he thought, like all
speech, should be ineligible. and leave
no reader in doubt Of its meaning. In
this respect Americans are much SUI
pcrior to their English rivals. - YOUTH
