GLORY OF BROWNING.
nI AN AAArRUu RIkT.

nI AN AMATEUR rIkT.
 There can be no doubt about the grandeur of tho poetry of Robert Browning, since Boston, Chicago, and other cities, have clubs for the TX press purpose of trying to understand tho simplicity, and sec the beauty of this Shakespeare of the century, No other poet has succeeded in inducing people to make such heroic efforts to enjoy his lines, There Is ono feature ot his poems that we have uever heard cm- phssI.es!, namely, the clazsio air of hIs rhymes. If l, an amateur, should send such delightfully."- musical rhymes ,o some magazine, l know 1t would not take the poet editor moro than five seconds to appreciate them I've tired 1t. Why, therefore, should 1t take "olub" to drive It's beauty into tho heads of editors when it comes from the charmingly simple pen of Browning.

 No attempt is made to give enough of any selection to give its sense. It k the rhyme only that we admire the genuis of rhyming is glory enough for one article. When we read these selections to poetic friend, an ah- mIrer of the great poet, he said These must have been taken from some burlesque work of Browning, some 'H!g!ow Papers st yle, as though ! Robert Browning ever could do such 1 a thing. No, they are nothing of the kind, they are from one of his most iDtenaely religious poems-~"Cbrist mas Eve and Easter Day."--./ourant o/ Education.
