RESOLVE.

He kissed my hand-the hand that holds the pen
 Bathed it in love, from finger tips to wrist. The wandering veins that felt his lips impress Throbbed with new life the moment they were kissed. The hand itself, thus blest, shall strive to be Worthy it's honor, and shall only write Words consecrate to high and lofty life From this time on in memory of tonight.

Pope as 8 Trickster.

Mir. Leslie Stephen writes strongly, but not too strongly, when he says in reference 10 the correspondence of Pope, It is painful to track the strange de- captions of man of genius as detect i've unravcls tho misdceds of an accom- plishcd sN intllCr. " Pope was q confirm ed liar, and he lied very hard indeed about tho publication of his letters Having by means of a trick secured their publication by notorious pirut- ical bookseller, he at once declared that the letters were fOrgeries. Yet while he was calling out for their suppression he was really anxious for their sale. The details of all his trickery and lying need not be gene into here.
 Pope, full of vanity and longing to publish lis correspondence, had pur- pOsely employed 8 notorious bookseller to issue all edition i'll order that he might then Do able 10 gay that tho yer sion was a pirutlcal one, and that in self defense lQ must publish the gcnu- inc text. Tho odd thing is that, though the whole affair was exposed at the time, it docs not seem to have done Pope any harm. Dr. Johnson, indeed, says that it did him good, and that the nation was full of praise for the admira- ble qualities of candor, benevolence and fidelity which tho letters revealed. Here is some comfort for any living literary genius who has not yet published his private correspondence. - Longman's Magazine.
