Tennvson's earlier poems were ig-
nored wholly by those critical gen tie
men who make business OF discover
ing new prodiEies. Nevertheless he
went on writing, conscious OF his
strength, aud not to be deferred by his
lack OF readers. Several successive
volumes were passed over by the pub
lie, and it was not until he had written
some of the best OF his shorter poems,
among them some of the best he ever
wrote at all, that he became respecta-
Bile enough to be attacked by the re-
viewers. They told him, as is usual,
that if be knew more about metre he
might be more easily able to write
verse, Supplementary this with the
further information that II he had more

Tennyson and his elder brother,
Charles, began writing verse at an age
so early il is hardly safe TO mention It,.
"Alfred's first verses" says Mrs.
Richie, "were written on slate
which his brother Charles put into his
hand one Sunday at Louth, when all the
elders Of the party had gone 70 church
and the child was left alone. Charles
gave him a subject-the flowers in the
garden-and when be came back from
church little Alfred brought him the
slate all written over with blank verses.
They were made on the model OF
''Thomsou's Seasons, the only poetry
he had ever read. One can picture II
all TO ones selt-the flowers in the gar
den, the verses, the little poet with
waiting eyes and the young brother
scanning the lines.
YES, you can write" said Charles
handing back the slate.
have heard another story OF his
grandfather, later on, asking him TO
write an elegy on his grandmother, who
had recently died, and when IL was writ
ten, putting 10 ShilIings into his hands
and saving: There is the iirst money
you have ever earned by your poetry
and take my word for it, 1t will be your
last"
THE anecdote related above about
Charles Tennyson seems 10 Indicate a
superiority Of Judgment out OF proper
ton to the difference between their
ages. he was Alfred's senior by only q
year and his critical faculty had ripened
with exceptional QuickneSs. His own
poetical tastes, though they never
reached such 8 maturity Of blossom as
his brothers, were in after years TO
more than fulfill an early promise OF
sweetness of expression and graceful
ness Of form. The two lads grew no in
the close kinship of like tastes. BeiRg
the elder, however, Charles had uncon-
sciously something 10 do with schooling
the latter's budding capacity, though
the existence Of special gifts in Alfred
was recognized ~ a very early period in
the Tennyson household

ence and wonder are developed rather

Tennysou did not graduate from
Trinity College, Cambridge, where with
mis- brother Frederick, be was sent
in lS2S, but be was greatly Influenced
by the training he received there
and still more by the young
men who were his companions. Among
them was one as unlike him as it is DOS

gentlemen Of highly developed intellect
and noble influences. They became
protagonists and uRconsciously satsg-
onists in the great intellectual struggle
which went on through the whole An
Vlo.Ssxon world during their lifetime,
Tennyson chose TO live in the past, to
make its traditions seem better than the
hooes of the future. To him IL seemed
a noble thing to use his OWE ideals TO
cover all the ugliness and she re-

stronger arm was the better

The death Of celebrated writer Is
generally followed by the publication
of unlimited "reminiscences, but there
has been little or nothing of the kind in
the case Of TeunySon. A number Of
books have appeared relating 90 his life
and work, but, like che recent volume
by Mr.. Spofford A. Brooke ("Tennyson,
His Art In relation 70 Modern Life, p"
q. p. Putnam's Sons, New York;, they
are largely critical and analytical, and
throw little light on the life OF the man
behind the poems.
This does not come By accident. Ten
nvson took pains 10 surprise himself.
He declared his poetry was the better
part OF him, and that when be gave that
those who received il had no right TO
ask more. Certainly it was q great gift.
There are many who, Ia reading his
hest poetry, feel with Edgar a. Poe that
they are almost ready 10 pronounce him
the greatest poet who ever lived. But,
nevertheless, back OF the poet is the
man, and the poet can never be greater
I'm spirit than the spirit Of the man. As

rainbow it borrows from the
sunlight does not enable 10 70 rise above
it's source. Those who would find why
Teunyson, with such Unmistakable
genius, REINFORCED by the most highly
cultivated pOeticsl talent Ia England,
did not become one Of the greatest poets
of the world in all time, as be did be-
come easily the greatest poet Of Eng
land in his own; those who would see
clearly how be failed Of that which
made Victor Hugo poet fer all men
and in all generations, must not hope to
find IL in his poetry unless they inter-
pret his poetry By MS life. In his life,
in appears clearly enough. After the
Intellectual struggle Of his early years
he was mastered by the spirit Of his
caste and the world lost him.
His father, Rev. George Clayton Ten
nvsop. LII. D., Married Elizabeth
Fvtcbe. daughter OF the vicar Of Louth,
town not far from SOmersby, where
the poet was born. On both sides,
