Swinburne's recent Russia: an Ode >
has greatly comforted the Anarchists
and has created CONSERVATION among
conservatives at home. A membar Of
parliament recently started the inquiry
whether Swinburne aud his Ole could
not be suppressed. The Speaker said in
substance that he knew OF no way bv
which poet could be silenced. The
poet advocates the assassination OF the
czaE Poetic. license has rarely gone so
far. Dante could picture the Inferno;
but he never located it above ground.
Swinburne declares that "earth is hell.
and hell bows down befor the czar:r

So from hearts by horror withered as by fire
Surge the strains of unappeasable desire;
sounds that bid the darkness tighten, 1t for
death:

There is rhetoric and rhapsody here
But the poem shocks the moral sense
when it counsels murder. Nothing was
gained by the assassination of the pre-
ceding czar. The reaction was a posi-
tive loss IL is more than bad art to en-
ploy poetry to inspire murder. Swim
ourne has given many shocks to the pub
lie by his exaggerated statements But
for this one no justification can be found.
One may detest the tyranny of the Rus
sian ruler and deiest even more the
means suggested in this poem to rid that
country Of tyranny. If Suinburne
ever had amy chance to win the dis
tinction of poet laureate" he has lost
it. That is probably matter If no
concern to him. He has gained one
point. He has added something to his
notoriety. even il he has not greatly dis
turbed the czar. -EExchange.

kept In state of greater or less anxiety
by frequent reports OF the arrival II
British vessels off the coast The
militia were called out at such times to
meet the invaders. who. after all, never
made their appear.nce. A correspond
ent, whose grandfs er was captain Of
one OF the militia companies, sends is .
story of the war;
AT one time the militia was called out
IN fall force, and went into camp Tor
several days on an island near Wiscasset,
In the absence of any thing like com.
missary department. each man looked
out for himself. bringing from homo
such supply of provisions as seemed
to him necessary.
One man. who bore the honorable bnt
inappropriate name Of Peter Goodfol-
low, was especially well provided for
His wife, il was plain to see, was not
only superior cook. but a liberal
minded woman She had filed her
husbands big leathern bag with most
tempting assortment OF goodies; dough.
nuts, spiced cakes ilaky caraway cook
les, apple and miace meat turnovers.

but enriched with spices and chopped
ralsIns--and man, other delectable com-
pounds
But this was not all. Within a day or
two Peters wife came over to the
island, bringing fresh supply of these
and similar daint s. The leathern bag
was near 60 bursting. and Peter him
self was soon in somewhat similar
condition.
For. in spite Of his name, Peter was
greedy. Not once did he invite any OF
his less favored comrades in arms to
share his good fortune. even TO the ex-
tent Of a twisted doughnut; and when a
hungry soul offered him IA days work
after the war was over in return for q
piece of cold mince pie the offer was
promptly declined. What assurance
had Peter that tile would be purchaser
might not be killed in the very first
battle?
A day or two afterward, however,
there came a report. to al appearance
authentic. that British man of war
was actually coming up the Sheepscott
River The greatest excitement pre-
vailed in camp All hands we're hurry
ing hither and thither-all except Peter
GoodfeIlow. He, il was noticed, was
simply thrown into a state Of profound
meditation. Then I've was seen to take
his bag upon his shoulder and retire to
the shade of neighboring tree.
With an air Of determination he began
to eat, nor did he give over till he had
verified the familiar axiom that the less
can never contain the greater.
When his natural limitations had put
an end to his feasling. he fell again into
a meditative mood But the time was
short; something must be done. His
mind was made up He seized the bag.

poured its remaining contents upon the
