With this we are come to "An-

we will mention briefly. This ar

Again, he says: CDR. Talmage

best novelists with reference to
their intellectual status, as he sta
ted Perhaps Henri knows bet
ter what DIR. Talmage intended
than he did himself, out he GER
tainly used their names as "best

that Henri has never read the SER
mon TO which | alluded, as DR..
Talmage then referred to Miss
Sedgewick and not Marion Har-
land, as he would make me say.
And again, if any one doubts
that Timon does not entertain the
views | have before accorded him,
! refer them to Rollins Ancient
History, or Shakspeare's "Timon
of Athens. ;" No rational man can
doubt the position Pope has taken,
as he is so often referred TO as
"womar's satirist," a feature so
prominent both in his life and po-
ems. Should any one agree with
Henri in discrediting the truth Of
the position on this subject which
| have assigned Milton, ] would
refer them to his "Paradise Lost
book ", lines from 40 to 4o2, al
so lines 634 to o3S inclusive, from
which we take the following ex-
tracts:

If Beta will read a sketch Of
life in Thos. b. Shaw's
English Literature, page 1877, she
will find an answer to one of her
questions. 1t may be ungrateful
and unkind of these writers to en-

we find it, true to nature as reveal

tory, both sacred and profane.
AS there is nothing else in Hen
ri's second article worthy Of COM
ment, and we have already tres
passed at too great length on your
space and public patience, we will
conclude. shall have TO beg par
don of Beta for not responding to
her prosy little piece, assuring her
at the same time that there is moth
ing real in my seeming indiffer-
ence. The article is worthy Of
note, and in case | should ever
write again, | shall give it space.
| shall also beg pardon of you,
Mr., Editor, for my presumption
in supposing you would publish an
article Of this length. In case my
opponents should again call me
before the public, shall endeavor
to be more brief; promising, how
ever, to take no notice Of what
may hereafter be said unless forced
to do so. With many good wishes
for your success. ! am
