Down the minister aises of spcndor from betwixt the

Through the wondering throng, with motion strong

Sounds His victor tread approaching with music far

The music of the coming of His feet.
Sandaled not with shoon Of silver, girded not with

Weighted not with shimmerng gems and odors

But white,winged and shod with glory in the Tabor

With His blessedness immortal and completes

and Entellus, travestied from Virgil, will see
that the comical effect is heightened by the al
liberation Of the line which exhorts Dares
never to imagine
"Mere man can mill deity"
Something of the effect of Macaulay's sar-
casm on Gleigs Life of Warren Hastings
is due to the ALTERATION which describes the
work as 'three big, bad volumes, full of un-
digested correspondence and undiscerning
panegyric."
1t is probable that ALTERATION made more
conspicuous feature Of poetry among the An
glo-Saxons than it has ever done SINCE for
not a little of their rhyming, according to
Sharon Turner, was done by the syllables that
began a verse, as we'll as those that ended it.
But all the versi6cation of that era Of which
any samples have been preserved to this day
is so crude and rough that the alliterative eff
feet is lost in the general uncouthness Most
seen how ALTERATION carried to an extreme
may become a tangle of the tongue
and puzzle of the sense in such tricks of
language, as "Peter Piper picked peck of
picked peppers but that is only an overdose
of the opium that is delightfully."- soothing or
exhilarating in moderate quantities, applied at
the right time. The ingenious constructors
OF headlines for local and telegraphic news
could give lessons in the effect of ALTERATION
to Pope, or Hood, or Homer They have
managed to construct an endless variety of
attractive captions for very common place
news by fitting their adjectives and substant-
ives together with cement of sound SINH
larity, and the reader is none the worse of it,
even If he laughs at the obvious effort to
achieve something odd and quaint or amusing
But there are not many, it is to be hoped, so
blasphemous or silly as to initiate the Chicago
Times man, who headed his account of the
hanging of murderer, "Jerked to Jesus" and
got an increase of wages from crazy old Storey
for the audacious ALTERATION.
