THE MISTAKES

| THE MISTAKES OF SOME AUTHORS.
A writer of the Rochester Post-Ex-

mistakes of well-known authors:

same time being so cold that the school
well was frozen. To this may be added
the equally singular vagary of Rider
Mines, describes a total eclipse of the
sun as occurring at a time when the
moon was full, which, of course. is an
astronomical impossshlity. Even Shakes
peare was liable to err, for he makes
mention in King John of canno, which,
needless to say, were entirely unknown
during the reign of that faint-hearted
monarch
A few years ago another English au-
thor provoked a smile from his Cor herr
American readers by speaking of the
cotton fields of Massachusetts,
Authors are now and then a prey to
mistakes Of another sort. In an early
edition of the poems of Oliver Wendell
Holmes hs fine patriotic poem, Union

This the verse:
yet, if by madness and treachery blight

Dawns the dark hour when the sword
thou must draw,
Then with the arms to thy millions
united
Smite the bold traitor to Freedom and

out that to- in the third line of the
above verse was a misprint for of
