and sued the governor for damages

as Mr.. Murray, was counsel for the gov

tEMNYsoN,s TWO LETTERS.
One Was For Declining and the Other For
Accepting tho Laureateship.

Peel has not read syllable of Tenny-
son. But Mines showed him s'Locksley
Hall" and Ulysses" and the pension Of
e20O was immediately granted. And now,
on tho death of Wordsworth, another prime
minister has to admit that he knows moth
ing whatever about Tennyson Lord John
Russell wrote to Rogers:
LAS you would not wear the laurel
yourself 1 have mentioned to the queen
those whom thought most worthy of the
honor. Her majesty is inclined to bestow
1T on Mr.. Tennyson, but should wish,
before the offer is made, to know some
thing of his character, MS we'll MS of his
literary merits. I know your opinion of
the last by your advice to Sir Robert Peel,
but should be glad if you could let me
know something of his character and DO
sition.''
This is indeed quaint But no doubt
Rogers was equal to the situation. More
than six months passed after Wordsworth's
death before the office was filled up but
tho offer came to Tonnyson Mt last Ho
has himself given u curious account of the
way in which he received it. He told his
friend Mr.. Knowles:
Tho night before 1 was asked to take
the laureateship, which was offered to mo
through Prince Albert's liking for my
In Memoriam,' I dreamed that he came
to me and kissed me ON tho check I said
in my dream, Very kind, but very Cor
man.. In the morning tho letter about
tho laureateship was brought to me and
laid upon my bed I thought about it
through the day, but could not mako ND
my mind whether to take it or refuse it,
and at last wrote two letters, one accept
ing and ono declining, and threw them on
the table, and settled to decide which 1
would send after my dinner and bottle Of
port
1t is rather curious that Tennyson, in
his first appearance ut court, exactly fol-
lowed Wordsworth precedent. He dressed
ut Rogers, and wore tho old poets court
suit just as Wordsworth had done. 81
well remember says Sir Henry Taylor,
"a dinner in ST. James place, when the
question arose whether Samuol's suit was
spacious enough for Alfred.' But the
laureate managed to make it do.
or Tonnyson, merely rs laureate, there
is fortunately little to say. Ho did not
write much in his official capacity The
"Odo on the Death of tho Duke of We'll
lington" would probably have been writ
ten evenif Tennyson had never had any
thing to do with tho lord chamberlain. 1t
was not because he was laureate that
Tcnnyson was Is patriot His other pieces,
on royal weddings and SO forth, are slight
and unilnportant.- Temple Bar.

HERE'S A QUEER ARGUMENT.
How an English Rector Defends His Visit
to q Theatcr.


to a Theater.
A travelling theatrical company recently
arrived on an extended visit to Killa-
marsh, an important colliory center IN
DerDyshiro. The rector, tho Row. f. j,
Noticeable, we'll known aud highly popu-
lar Clergyman, visited tho theatcr. For
this he was criticised by solilo of his par
ishioners. Ho has therefore issued the fol-
lowing letter to his flock:
My DEAR PEOPLE AS some concern has been
expressed by sc,ie of you because / have
patroniZed End attended the Queens theater
now staying in this village, it may be we'll for
me to give an explanation of my so doing.
am responsible before God for doing all can
anu giving every opportunity to all in this
parish to be brought under the influence Of the
Holy Spirit. A theatrical company comes into
this place with every probability Of staying
some time. They do not come here to break
either tho laws of God or man. Their profess
sion Is quite lawful one. Now if every one
who Is respectable keeps away from these
places what will they become? Centers of sin I
whose fault is 1T, then, that this is the casef
Is it tho fault of the company who come here
to amusc tho peoplep say it is not. It is the
fault'of those persons who think themselves
too respectable to Ego to such place." The
proprietor Of q company like this here now is
only too thankful to have the help of good
people to raise his performance and mako it Of
more refined and improved character. What
pity it is that some of our people are such
towards that they must set upon our young
mon and boys instead of coming to mo. If /
am doing wrong, why don't they como and
tell me and teach me better, instead Of throw
ing their sneers out at those who can't help
what do. "He's n nice sort of leader" they
say, but those who say these things arc not
those who would be led anywhere better. An
other thing they say is, "Hc would not do it,
only he wants some money out of them. Z"
This is one of those humping lies that people
like to say about parson Well, let them say
it. 1t won't hurt the parson. and it pleases
them.
