Scott Enjoyed Being Lionized.

Sir Walter Scott is an example OF a
great man, who, SO far as we can judge,
enjoyed paying the penalties of his
greatness. even in his hour of death. lie
was great enough, but then he was that
kind of man, and the circumstances
among which he lived were favorable,
That was before the day Of the penny
post, of the electric telegraph, of rail
WAYS and of the interviewer, and in his
prime he lived at Abbotsford, which Is
equivalent nowadays to saying that he
lived at .Joppa. He seems to have been
singulary free from the penalties oil
greatness. which have enormously in
creased since the Wizard of the North
went home, and such of them as came
in his way he seems to have heartily On
joyed.
He appears now and then to have
rclished being turned into a rare show,
and to being pointed at wherever he
went as Walter Scott. Indeed this be-
ing poig ted at seems to have been rel
ished by many men whose greatness was
undoubted. Thackeray seems some
times almost to have resented not beng
pointed at.-All the Year Round

A FAIR ATTORNEY.

Alas! the world has gone awry
Since Cousin lillian entered college.
For she has grown so learned
Oft trembie at her wondrous knowledge.
Whene'er | dare TO WOO her row
She frowns that | should 50 annoy her,
And then proclaims, with lofty brow.
Her mission is To be n lawyer.
Life clides no more on golden wings.
A sunny waif from FL Dorado;
I've learned how true the poet sing,
That coming sorrow casts its shadow.
When tutti frutt lost its spell
felt some hidden grief imnended;
When she declined n caramel
knew my rosy dream had ended.
She paints 10 more ON china plaques.
With tints that would have crazed Murillo
Strange birds that never pluinet their back
When Father Noah braved the billow.
Her fancy limns, with brighter blush,
The splendid triumphs that await her,
When in the court breathless hush
Gives homage to the queen debater.
Ills sad TO meet such crushing noes
From eyes as blue as Scottish heather;
'ris sad d maid with cheeks OF rose
Should have her heart bound up in leather;
TITS sad to keep ones passion pent,
Though Pallas' arms the fair environ;
But worse to have her quoting Kent
When one is fondly breathing Byron.
When Lillian is licensed at the law
Her fame. be sure, will live forever:
No barrister will pick flaw
In logic so extremely clever:
The sheriff will forget his nap
To feast upon the lovely vision,
And cen the judge will set his cap
AT her and dream of love Elysian.
