to the most vulnerable part OF that corporations

awake nights to concoct schemes OF annoyance to
those unfcrtunates who are compelled to use the

any trains whatever. L.. 3

The poet laureste 10. strictly speaking. an
oficer Of ;he household Of the British sover-
eign. The name seems 10 have originated
in custom of the English universities, of
representing laurel wreath to graduates In
rhetoric and rrosody. The Kings laureate
was one ofthese rheioricians installed in The
service of The king. The last man who re-
ceived one ofthese degrees gtasuatedin in rsr7
and the earliest mention Of poe, laureate
of the King was in the reign Of Edward IS !,
when the appointment bearing this name
was given 10 one John Key. The FIRST pat
en-, cf the Office was granted in 1850. After
some years a salary Was affixed to it, which
was 100 ib per annum and fierce Of canary
wine. Early in the presen. cenutry, when
Southey held the Office, this allowance of
wine was oommuted into a payment of sa7.
1t was at first the duty Of the poel laureate
10 write an ode on each birthday Of the
sovereign, aud celebrate In verse every vic
tory Of the national army, but this custom
was given up during the reign of George III.
Al the present time the title is rather honor
AIRY than Otherwise, and the post laureate
writes only so much or as little as his muse
may prompt him, in the service of the
reigniug sovereign.
