Other sore tribulations Of the poor
member Of parliament are that his opin-
ions are dictated by his leaders-his
movements controlled BY the whips.
Party discipline is very strict and viola
tions Of IL, however slight, are rarely
condOned. II a member Is bold enough
to take m independents stand In regard
TO any Of the political questions Of the
day, his speech In tho house explaining
his position is received with SCOTS aud
5eers by his colleagues, and, what Is per-
hhps more uncomfortable. approving
cheers by members on the other side,

frequently delivered to him at the most
inopportune moments-when be is Just

ner or about to leave his house for n

and II, yielding 70 the temptations Of
the flesh, he ignores this peremptory
call Of political duty, his past services
are forgotten. he gets a solemn lecture
from the chief whip ON the enorTnity Of
his oGense. and, mayhap, his name Is
published in an official "black list" Of
defaulters, or he comes across a nasty
little paragraph exposing his neglect Of
duty in the local newspaper which most
widely circulates among his constitu-
ents. -Chambers' Journal

In June, 1915, Coleridge published
"Christabel," and in September the
Edinburgh Review, by the hand Of HaE-

ground Of any poetic merit. but as q
psychological curiosity, " and by giving
a detailed account in the preface Of the
circumstances and the anodyne under
which it was written.
All that one IAN say Is that Hazlitt
does not miss his opportunity. His ref-
erences to the "anodyne" are mingled
unpleasantly with scornful innuendo.

that Hazlitt knew all this, even II Col
