son in salty he did not have any serious ap- prehension for the other dwelIers in the house or for visitors, so that in each room there was one seat with very high back reserved for the seignior, while the others had either no backs at all or very insignificant ones Thus there came about development sufficiently curious, and the seat with high back be. came by custom the mark of dignity and power.
 Finally the wig became responsible for revolution. When the wig began to descend to the back the high chair became very un- comfortable. The curls of hair, wool and silk which composed the monumental struc- ture that every fashionable man believed he ought to wear entsngled themselves in pro- jections or adhered to the fabric, and pro duced in the toilet disorder most offensive ts the majestic dignity of the time. One sl- formative then presents itself, either to re- nounce the wig or to cut down the backs of the chairs. They resigned themselves to this last measure, and the wig comes out the victor in this singular contest. Afterward the high chair-back lost ell signi- fcsnce.

of south wind on an Eoiian harp. Yet, although nearly twenty years have passed since the incident mention, I have not yet lost the remembrance of the harsh and brok- en noises that this Unfortunate gentleman produced in attempting to read them aloud | to us. At the sixth line We could hear the agony of sound no longer, and polite as the l company was, "bitter constraint and sad l occasion drear," compelled US to disturb | that terrible series of discords. I was I mighty disturbed at his fasco, and with the boldnessSof youth I asked the discomited l reader, when I found myself alone with him, why he had read the lines in this ex- traordinary manner. found that he had no notion of the melody of verse; thoughts were all he valued, and he appeared to have never seized the idea that meter was any, thing more than 1awless and eccentric manner of breaking up prose when you printed it.
 My advise is, learn to read poetry judic- iously, richly and clearly aloud, and then persevere in reading silently to yourself in the conscious way. Every attentive person
 must have noticed that there are two ways of silent reading. One with his eyes alone, automatically, rapidly, in the very back parlor of the brain; other is with the lips also, in imagination, although no sound is made, with the formation of every word, and as If on the frontier of vocal expression. The second of these modes should alway be adopted in reading poetry to one's self. Here there is breathless interest in the fact narrated, no overwhelming necessity to hur- ry on for information's sake.
 It must never be overlooked that the sound, the conduct of the metrical effect, is no matter of indifference. Even in mere rhapsodies, divested of all real verse form such as the effusions of Ossian and of Walt Whitman, there is right way of reading and a wrong. Among the great masters of meter we have taken it as certain that, at all events in the characteristic writings, no ap- parent discord is an accident or fault, but variation introduced for purposes of the most refined art. Hence, when the young or inexperienced reader comes upon line which seems to him to be difficult or i'm possible to scan, he should not pass it by, or force it to bend itself unwillingly to his preconceived notions, but take as much pains to learn the poets intended effort as
 he would take in mastering page of Greek or Latin to find out the exact meaning of stubborn phrase. Let him, above all SUD- pose himself in error sooner than the poet let him remember that one of the greatest scholars that ever lived, ths famous Bentley, brought ridicule on himself because he could not bend Milton's text down to the level of
 his own rules, he ventured to set right the
 music of Paradise Lost" It WAS like cor
 recting a great master because his melody
 did not keep time with barrel organ, and,
 amazingly clever man as Bentley was, the
 world has never ceased to laugh at his pre-
 sumption.
