Precise Information For Poets.
This stanza occurs in ono of Mr. Rudyard
Kiplings recent bits Of verse:

Eipllng's recent bits or verse:
This IS the horrible story
Told as the twilight fails,
AS the monkeys walk together
Holding each others tails.
Poets should conserve the purity and ele-
gance OF a language. Mr.. Kipling commits
grave error in representing the monkeys as
"holding each others tails" when presumably
DO means holding ono anothers tails" DO
you not regard this as serious blow at our
lanGuage2 PEDAGoGUL'
That depends. Maybe there were but
two monkeys In that case the poet is cor
rect. If there were more than two, the poet
should have said holding one anothers
'ails," unless in sooth the poet, recognize
* the demands of rhythm, chose to avail
himself Of that license which is accorded to
poets in the construction of their wares.
In prosaic life monkeys, if outnumbering
two, cannot carry each others tails, but
must carry one anothers tails In the
realm Of poesy, however monkeys-no
matter how many there may be of them
are privileged 10 carry each others tails"

NY IRISH SWEETHEART.
Not skylark in the blue at morn,

Not skylark in the blue at morn,
Nor blackbird in the grove,
Nor throstle from the dew wet thorn
Can match the voice love.
And love, with trust that viii not fail
Through timo or sorrow, lies
Beneath the blue veined lids that veil
My Irish sweotheart's eyes.
To mate her lips no rose is found.
Her neck is white as foam.
Her laughter has the joyous sound
or mountain rills at homo.
Though bent beneath her airy tread.
Each daisy from the grass
Will quickly lift its tender head
Erect 10 see her pass. .-
And naught she knows Of guile or wrong
More than the daisies do.
But, oh, her faith is deep and strong;
Her love for me is true!
And longingly one prayer frame
To breathe my native air,
To see green listers hills and claim
Aiy Irish sweetheart there.
