SARCASM ON THE BENCH

Some years ago there lived in Alabama
a judge who was noted for the sarcasm
which he dispensed during his admins
tration of justice. On n occasion a
young man wa tried for stealing a poe
ket book. The next case was for murder.
The evidence in the larceny case was
slight, but in the other seemed conclu-
sive. TO his amusement and wrath, how
ever, the jury convicted the young man
and acquitted the murderer. In passing
sentence upon, the convicted thief, after
the discharge of the other prisoner, the
judge said:-"Young man you ave not
Honor replied the prisonSer. a thought
not" said the judge, You dou't N
these people; you may kill them. but
don't touch their pocket books
On another occasion, when the evi-
dence seemed to point conclusively to the
prisoners guilt, but when the Judge, from
wisdom, the counsel for the defendant
said:-@It is better that ninety-nine guilty
persons should escape than that one in
nocent man should suffer. In his charge

pressively and severely:-..Gentlemen, I

KEATS AND SKELLEY
Leigh Hunt TELLS what He Thought

OF NEe WO kOehSs
Before I end these rambling notes of
this Hampstead visit, it ma be of inter
est to Mention that once I had the pleas
ure of meeting a gentleman who had
known Leigh Hunt in his later years, and
had often heard him speak of Keats and
that ''heart of hearts," Shelley. 81 loved
them both,'' Hunt would say in his ten
der sympathic way, "Keats not so well
as Shelly, but he was very dear to me. l
can never forget the manner in which his
genius first impressed me. Of all men |
have met, he had most of the true poetic
spirit. Shelley was largely a politician
and a reformer, Wordsworth a philoso-
pher and teacher, Keats was pure poet.
In the midst of London streets he was in
the thick of the wild woods; in the woods
he never looked at an oak tree without
seeing the dryad. He lived with all these
beautiful fancies and dreams which made
the earth once so divine a place to the
old Greeks. 3 = = In character he was
strong and manly, had a masterful and
earnest spirit. I respected him as we'll as
loved him. 8 = = At the last, when he
was so sensitive, so suspicious, SO miser-
erably restless, We all knewit was not a
revelation of his real character, but a
manifestation Of his disease"
My informant told me that he was once
with Hunt when Mary Shelley, accom-
panied by her son, visited him. In the
midst of their tender "reminiscences, he re-
membered that Hunt spoke of Keats, and
regretted that he had not more strenu-
ousiy taken his part against his infamous
reviewers. .sHe did not need my help"
HUNT woul say, for he bore the shafts
from those cowardly hunters with smiling
courage; and. indeed, my defense would
nave hurt his cause far more than it
would help. = = = A few years more.
after I am gone, people all over England
will be speaking Of Keats and doing HON
age to his rare intellectual qualities. They
will acknowledge that I was right in my
prophecy, published some time ago, that
he was as true a man. of genius. as these
latter times nave seen, one of those who
are too genuine and original to be proper
ly appreciated at first, but whose time for
applause will infallibly arrive with the
many And then Hunt would RELAPSE
into silence, his eyes gazing into the dis
lance, as though he saw unutterable Wis
ions -Century l

Effr@f H~ufesvfexvL

EEFEL-E
First Interview.
That was more thar forty years ago,
Tennyson was then living with his wife
and a baby-the present Lord Tennyson-
at a house in TWickenham. "a gloomy
house, surrounded by trees" My mother
and old Mrs. Wordsworth were staying
in the neighborhood with Mrs. ~(after-
wards Lady, Taylor, a daughter Of Lord
Mounteagles and the wife of Henry
Taylor, who mas a poet himself and
wrote a life of Philip van Arteyeldte.
The Taylors knew the Tennysons, and
Mrs. Taylor had taken Miss Wordsworth
to see the new laureate. I'VE were re-
ceived by Mrs. Tennyson, but the poet
did not appear until Mrs. Taylor had
asked that he might be sent for. He came
into the room looking very gloomy, and
only spoke in monosyllables. Mrs. Taylor,
who was a bright, vivacious Irish woman,
rallied him on his moroseness. 'One would
say, Mr.. Tennyson,' she said, thai you
are not pleased to see us, I don't think
that you would be pleased to see visi-
tors cried Tenngscn, If you hired the
Times for one hour a day, and the WISH
tors just came during that hour Mrs.
Taylor then said, And you never came
" SCC w., CbOQ5H you 'hliOW IlOW MIS-.
Wordsworth likes to see you. We came
here four times to one call from you.
It's all very well for you TO talk said
Tennyson morosely. You nave only to
order your horses to be put in and to
drive over here. When I come to see you,
I nave to go the expense of a cab or a
rilroad ticket He afterwards left the
room, leaving me very abashed, for he
had taken no notice whatever Of me.
Mrs. Tennyson noticed my condition,
and came and set by me and spoke very
kindly to me. Mr.. Tennyson was not we'll
she said, he suffered from b~iliousness, and
his manners that day nea nothing. She
was sorry that I had come just that day,
because when Tennyson was in good hui
NOR he was SO delightful. You can mag
inc, nay dear, how pleasant it is to hear
beautifully She went on to say that he
was a most good hearted man and a most
affectionate father.
.As we. We're driving home, / told Mrs.
Taylor what Mrs. Tennyson had said to
me, and she said, oh. yes, Tennyson is
a model father. If the baby is heard cry
ing it is Tennyson who rusheS up to the
nursery to comfort it, not Mrs. Tennyson-
and he spends most of his time over his
sons cradle. And ! hope she added,
that the baby won't grow up to be a
yellow man, though l fear he may, as
Tennyson smokes his pipe all the time he
is in the nursery, and envelopes his heir
in clouds of smoke" This was Miss
Wordsworth's account of her first inter-
view with the late Laureate.-Bookman.
