RHYME AND BLANK VERSE.


Why johnson Liked the Former and Dis
liked the Latter.
Johnson's preference of rhyme to
blank verse has often been imputed to
him as crime, and by many, we sus-
pect, who are totally unacquainted
with his reasons for it. These are to be
found stated, shortly, but very clearly,
in the Lives of Milton and Akenside.
sit is by the music of metre" he says,
''that poetry has been Disseminated in
all languages, and in languages melo-
diouslv constructed. with due proper
ton Of long and short syllables, metre
is sufficient. But the music of the
English heroic line strikes the ear so
family that it is easily lost, unless all
the syllables of every line cooperate
together; this cooperation can only be
obtained by the preservation of every
verse, unmingled with another, as
distinct system of sounds; and this dis
tinctness is obtained and preserved by
the artifce of rhyme" Another reason
is given in the Life of Akenside': The
exemption which blank verse af-
fords from the necessity of closing
the sense with the cOuplet be
trays luxuriant and active minds
into such self-indulgence that they
pile image upon image, ornament
upon ornament, and are Not easily per-
suaded to close the sense at all. ," A
great many persons, we imagine, are
still under the impression that DIR.
johnson admitted no exception to the
rule; that he condemned blank verse
poem in the English language written
in rhyme. Nothing can be further than
the truth. Whatever be the advantages
of rhyme, he says, he can not wish that
Milton had employed it. "But, like
other heroes, he is to be admired rather
than initiated" 'Rhyme can be safely
spared when the subject can support it
self" But on inferior subjects writers
"who hope only to please must conde-
scend to rhyme" He thinks that AIKEN
side, Thompson and Young were right
to adopt blank verse. And with all
these reservations, it is not easy to see
why modern critics should differ from
him. That rhyme is a check upon dis
cursiveness, and that where discursive-
ness is not essential to the poem it is a
wholesome check; that where the sub
Unity of the subject does not carry us
along with it rhyme sustains the atten-
ton and gratifies the ear when there is
nothing to attract the imagination; that
blank verse, in short, is suitable to the
very highest kinds of poetry, and to
those also of which diffuseness is an es-
sential element, while rhyme is better
adapted to the less elevated and to sub
jects which admit of greater concentra-
ton, are propositions which we may ac-
cept or reject, but which surely are not
at first sight so utterly unreasonable as
to call for instantaneous condemnation.

WINTER QUARTERS FOR STOCK.
Necessity of Proper Stabling Accommoda-
tions to Secure the Best Results.

Necessity of Proper Stabling AccommOda-
lions to Secure the Best Results.
The use and value of farm horses are
often greatly reduced by want of
proper arrangements for stabling them.
Any kind of place to crowd the poor
beasts in is often thought to be good
enough, and the air in some stables is so
bad from filthy floors that the harness
is often rotted by it. A horses lungs
and eyes can not fail to suffer in such
an atmosphere, when tanned leather
and varnish are spoilt. No doubt
good deal Of disease among horses is
due to this cause. A horse sees on one
side only with each eye, and a side light
from a window strains the eyes I'M
equally. The light should come into
stable directly in front of the horse, and
it should not be too bright If the win
dow can not be on the north side it
should be covered with lime-wash to
mellow the, light; but the stable should
never be wholly dark. A stable should
be airy and we'll ventilated, but not sub
ject to drafts; draft upon a horse yet
warm with work will surely iniure him,
and if it does nothing worse, it will
stiffen him in a few days. A few such
mistakes will ruin any horse.
The AnleT1cGD Agr1cUttUTdljSt, speak
ing on the same general subject, says
an abundance of light in the shelters
provided for stock in winter is point
which should not be overlooked, for
darkness is as injurious to animals as it
is to plants. Human beings spending
much of their time in dark tenements,
are pale, sickly, and dwarfed. Con-
fining the lower animals in dark quarters
has a similar efect-retarding growth
and reducing vigor. Much of the blind
ness among horses is caused by their
being brought suddenly from a dark
stable into the strong sunlight, which is
especially trying when reelected from
snow. The openings in shelters are
closed with boards or straw, ''to keep
out the cold;" unfortunately this keeps
out the light also, SO that majority of
the stables in this country are dark for
three-fourths of the time during which
animals are confined there. This is all
right at night, but during the daytime
the stable should be as light as the
dwelling, and made so in the same way
by glass windows. A few panes of
glass and sash will not cost much, and
more profitable investment can not be
made. Shutting up shelters so closely,
also shuts out the pure air. Leave a
wide crevice under the caves. The in
side impure air becomes heated and
lighter, as it becomes foul, and WILL rise
and pass out at this crevice, and the
outside, pure air being colder and
heavier, will enter The animals will
have pure air, and no blasts will strike
directly upon their bodies. Leaving
openings in the roof. and building small
houses GOTTEN improperly called cupo-
las), with lattice-work sides over them,
is splendid way to ventilate barns and
stables, and improve the looks of the
buildings. NJ Y Observer.

something better than aflirmations. In

AT this assurance, which so greatly
aggravated her wound, Cecile raised a

The doctor was visibly affected; he
tried to console the unhappy woman.
Soon, yielding to a sudden inspiration,
he rushed into the adjoining chamber,
and, reappearing with the cradle in
which little Bertha slept, placed it be-
fore Cecile. Then he went out again.

Count de Chatillon by the hand, his eyes
still covered by bandage. He led his

eoARDING-HousE "BETTlEs."

A Glass of Human Beings That The World
Knows Little About.
Two young men stood in the door
way of cigar store last night on Clark
Street, near Indiana when a peculiar
looking individual passed by. One of
them looked at the pedestrian with I'M
disguised contempt stamped on every
feature. This was noticed by his COM
panion, and he asked:
"Know him?'

"Who is hep
"He's a 'Bettyr"
"A WHAT"
"a Betty"
A curious smile overspread the face of
the uninitiated, and after a pause he
said: "Wen, I'll bite. What's a
Betty?"
An incredulous stare from his COM
panion showed plainly that he was I'M
prepared for such a feeble display of
knowledge.
''You don't pretend to say that you
know nothing about Betties?"
I'm hOnest-really, I'm clear off. "
"Well! How long have you lived in

"About three months"

"What else does he do?"
"Well, he keeps watch on every
bucket of coal the boarders use and
grumbles about their fearful eXtrava-
gance in that quarter. Sometimes he
eats with the boarders when there is a
vacant chair, and helps himself to the

trating. And what matters to me more
or less regularity in the featuresp /
alas, shall never see! What | love in
you is your soul, and this world holds
not soul more beautiful and pure.''
Cecile had listened, bewildered en-
tranced despite herself at these intoxi-
eating words; enchanted at seeing rise
before her that perspective she had
never dared cherish even in dreams.
But soon recalled to the reality CON
fused, ashamed at having submitted to
an enthrallment not sanctioned by
reason, she protested more energetically
than ever, that her resolution was
formed, and no arguments could
change it.
This heroic contest went on for nearly
two months. NJ de Chatillon returned
daily to the charge with more impas-
stoned earnestness. But there was a
traitor in the stronghold-th heart of
the poor young girl. The health of the
besieger also began to give way. and
anxiety for him at length decided the
besieged to waive her scruples, and sign
an honorable capitulation.
This is how the former goyerness
became the Countess de Chatillon.
Never had union been more happy;
never had two beings so nearly realized
the ideal of a perfect marriage. But
Cecile could not believe in the duration
of this radiant felicity. As upon that
day when her husband had first told her
of his love, she often believed herself
the sport of some illusion. Ten the
least sound or movement would 2ake
her tremble. 1t seemed to her fiat the
awakening from her dream might come
at any moment.

o, earth is so bright and our wings are so faint,
How hard to mount upward without dark

There is so much to love, so much to admire,
Such full cups to quaff and to stir souls fire
To its far reaching depths and to sweep its full

That we think the Beyond" has no greater

And then when lifes sorrows are thickening fast,
And our souls like dead flowers are torn with

All yes, when the mists that envelop us here,
That drift in such masses of doubts and of fear +;
When the dark clouds are lifted and thro the

Thelight of Gods presence will shine on us there.

For has He not said that as Princes we stand
And none shall be able to pluck from His hand ?
With our hands on our hearts and our eyes

May our gaze be so constant, His presence so
bright,
That nothing can tempt us from Jesus our Light
