In speaking Of Ben. Buffers ad
dress to the people of Massachu
setts few days ago, the Peters
burg, Va, Tribune says:
General Butler addressed the lead
ing Democrats of Massachusetts at 8
banquet in Boston a few evenings since
during which he said: The people
are marching on toward Democratic
goal equality Of rights, equality OF
burdens and equality of privileges to
all men under the law These are be-
coming the watchwords which will lead
Massachusetts, to victory General
Butler has shown consistency in one
thing if 10 nothing else, and that has
been his friendship at all times and
under all circumstances to the colored
people. If that is Massachusetts,
Democracy, and the General could de-
fuse little of it southwark in such a
manner as would enable the Southern
wing Of the party to catch on, as it
were, there would be no reason for
colored men to be arrayed in solid
phalanx against the Democratic party.
We are afraid, however, that Massachu-
setts Democracy, as thus expounded
does not thrive In this locality"

Most wonderful is the number of re-
membranes to be found in every human
mind, their variety and correctness ;
their removal from consciousness when
they are not wanted, and their return
again and again when they are wanted ;
|, the facility with which they are recalled,
and their opportune recurrence whenthev
are sought for. We need not look to ex-
traordinary instances the memory of
every child, duly considered. is astonish-
ing Some thousands of objects are re-
membered persons, with their names
and characters events, with their time
and place things, with tneir various
qualities words, with their proper sig-
Indication. These are remembered after
months and years ; they are brought back
with little effort, and often come of them
selves Just as needed. The remembran-
ces of most persons go back to the wears
and lessons of childhood, and include
what has been witnessed in many hum
dred scenes, heard from many hundred
persons, read in many hundred books
Much is forgotten, but much is remem-
bered and more might be remembered,
and recalled more readily and correctly,
II the laws OF memory were properly
known and used.
The power of memory is increased by
exercise. 1t is generally stronger in
youth than IN old age. There is much
difference at the beginning Of life in ma
tural ability, some remembering every
thing more easily than others The three
most desirable qualities of memory are
facility, retontlvene6s and readiness and
all these are improved by practice. The
first and second depend much on the at
tentlon given to what is to be remember
ed; the third on the number, variety and
arrangement OF the associations by which
it may be recalled. There are minds on
which most impressions are 30 slight that
they are soon forgotten. Others who
have learnt and retained much, do not
remember things at the right time. Few
have memories so quick, retentive and
ready as not to need some special culture :
and there are none whose memories may
not be improved by attending to what is
most important, and forming associations
70 aid recollection. Artificial memory is
the use of arbitrary arrangements to aid
in recalling dates, words and facts which
have no natural connection. They are
found easily, when distributed in various
localities on page or wall. Such CON
nectlons are occasionally of use for n
time; but natural connections are more
lasting, and are on every account to be
preferred when attainable. There seem
to be some varieties Of memory "a special
aptitude for remembering words, or num-
bers, or facts, or arguments, or voices, or
faces. There is some difference in natu-
raj susceptibility but most of the dia-
erences in memory are to he attributed TO
the degree of attention given to various
objects, and to habits Of observing and
thinking. -ProE GOodViA.

The second edition of Mr.. S. Z. Daw-

from Lord Tennyson regarding the views
and interpretations advanced
ALDwoRTH, HAsLEMERE, SURREY,
Nov. q, 1882.
Dear Sir,-I thank you for your able
and thoughtful essay on "The Princess. "
You have seen, among other things, that
II women ever were to play such freaks,
the tragic and the burlesque might 60
hand in hand. | may tell you that the
songs We're not an afterthought. Before
the first edition came out / deliberated
with myself whether I shOuld put songs
in between the separate divisions of the
poem again, thought, the poem will
explain itself, but the public did not sec
that the child, as you say, was the hero
inc of the piece, and at last | conquered
my laziness and inserted them. You
would be still more certain that the child
WAS the true heroine if, instead of the
first song as it now stands,
Gas thro' the land at eve we went"
L had printed the first song which Iwrote,
''The Losing of the Child" The child
is sitting on the bank of the river and
playing with fiowers-a flood comes down
"a dam has been broken through-the
child is borne down by the flood-the
whole village distracted--aftsr time the
flood has subsided-the child is thrown
safe, and sound again upon the bank, and all
thewomen are IN raptures. quite forgot
the words of the ballad, but think ]
may have it somewhere.
Your explanatory notes are very much
to the purpose and / do not object to
your finding parallelisms. They must
always recur. A man "a Chinese scholar
some time ago wrote to me, saying that in
an unknown, untranslated Chinese poem
there were two whole lines of mine al
most word for word. Why not? Are
not human eyes all over the world look
ing at the came objects, and must there
not consequently be condolences of
thought and impressions and expressions?
1t is scarcely possible for any one to say
or write anything in this late time of the
world to which, in the rest of the litera-
ture OF the world, parallel could not
somewhere be found. But when you say
that this passage or that was suggested
by Wordsworth or Shelley or another |
demur, and more, | wholly disagree.
