that the interest some people feel in the
correct use of English is out of all pro-

upon which the srammarian in his ele-

Filling the brooklet as in time of rain.
Far off we saw the heavy loaded vain
That, creaking. crept along the lone

In rocky knobs, crested with thickets

We listened for a bird-but all in vain.
Yet Pan still plays upon a thousand

And leaning by the telegraph's tall poles,
The winds sweet finger STUNNING on

We heard the bees hum in Hymettus
