cious period of the English Georges, Byron
was 6Anished from society, Moore was obliged
TO purify his poems, for less offences against
common decerey than have been committed
by him. There are pages in his poems which,
as witty critic says: ''carry nudity to point
where it ceases to be a virtue" He may talk
of Greece bat there is nothing Greek about
his poems; his nndlties do not suggest the
sacred wilderness of an antique statue, but
rather the Sorcibie unvelling OF some insuited
innocence. We have perhaps rashly claimed
that the influence OF women has purified

And in the ear of sinners ss they took
The way of death, he whispered peace; he

OF earthly pomp; and yet priDeely saet
He liked, and 10 the clipk of Msmmon's box

Martyr Mt Cawnpore, India, describes him
thus, she was dressed il white, and looked
very pale, which, however, was nothing SIM
gular in India. His hair. light brown, was
raised from his forehead, which was a re-
markedly fine one His features were not reg
MAR, but the expression was SO luminous,
SO intellectual, go afectionate, SO becoming
with divine charity, that no one would have
looked at his features and thought of their
shape and form; the out beamiDg OF his soul
would absorb the attention ofeveyy observer"
