Of house built on foundation of plug tobacco

Mr.. Harte tells good duelling story, and he is
eloquent over John Chnaman. One of his ORR
entail heroes is the servant who listened unmOved
to his master telling at the dinner table lin order
to see if he could disturb his calmness) cir
cumstantial account of a murder he had just
committed. AS climax the narrator remarked
that he would presently cut his own throat.
John quietly left the room, and in a moment re-
turned to slip beside his masters plate as if it
had been a forgotten fork. his masters razor.
Is there any corner of Europe into which Mr.
Crockett has not penetrated in search of local
color for his romances? Each new book of his
makes us acquainted with new scene. Some
times regret the authors taste for rambling
but in the of 1.-The Silver Skull we can
only approve with the utmost cordiality the ex-
cursion into Italy and Italian manners which
has resulted in the book. 1t gives US, of course
the due proportion of "blugginess,' without
which Mr.. Crockett's later stories would be in
complete; but at the time some of the
grace. color and spectacular beauty of the South
has got into this romance, and while the
ders in it make shudder cannot help
joying what Mr.. Crockett has to tell us of law

little solemn pedantry could demonstrate at

happens, we cannot find it in our hearts to be
pedantic over this resourceful gentleman. He
gets himself into such amazing situations. and is
so much more amazing in his manner of getting
out of them. that it is impossible to resist him.

SAINT CHARLES"


WHY THACKERAY GAVE THIS EXCLAMATION.
From The Fortnightly Review.
A new passage very slight in itself but to
me at any rate, very interesting. has reference
to Thackeray's ejaculation Saint Charles" as
applied To Lamb; which comes to us on the
thority of Edward FitzGerald Writing TO
Charles Eliot Norton, on April 4, 1873. FitzCier-
aid remarked-aprOpos the little paper of data
OF Lambs life which he had compiled and was
sending to Norton" Saint Charles,' said
rhackeray to me thirty years ago putting
of c. LIS letters to his forehead" Mr. Adds
Wright's fOotnOte to this passage points out that
the letter IN question was that to Bernard Bar
ton. about Mtford's vases. on December /, 1894
the letter in which, with mastery assump-
ton of that gravity which Quakers call CON
Germ" Lamb implored his friend, the Wood
bridge bank clerk and pous poetical comforter
OF hundreds of readers, to keep a watch upon
himself in business, lest the fate of the unhappy
Fauntleroy, the banker and forger (executed the
day beforel. might also be his. IF i'm an un-
guarded hOur-but l will hope better. Com
slider the scandal it will bring upon those OF
your persuasion Thousands will go to
Quaker hanged that would be Indifferent to the
fate of Presbyterian or an Anabaptist. -
and so forth.
Why this particular letter should so move
Thackeray to that exclamation may always
have puzzled some readers. That it should
have prompted him to an impulsive utterance Of
thankfulness for such good fooling is natural;
but Why-Just then-the word saint"
The original letter gives perhaps the key. On
the other side of the paper, written painstak-
ingy in very minute hand with the two lines
OF verse in alternate red and b, ok inks). is this
pretty passage. which, for some reason that is
hard to understand no editor of Lamb has
thought it worth while to reproduce:
'Postscrpt for your Daughters eyes only
Dear Miss Your pretty little letterets make
me ashamed of my great, struggling coarse
handwriting l wonder where you get pens to
write so small Sure they must be the pinions
or small wren or a robin. If you write so in
your Album, you must give glasses to read
by. l have seen Lady's similar book all writ
in following fashion. 1 think it pretty and fam
cifu.
q how love in early dawn
To bend my steps Ger howry dawn. | lawn1
Which | think has agreeable variety to the
eye Which L recommend to your notice, with
friend Elias best wishes''
1t is not much; and yet the thought behind
these few lines, and the with which they
were inscribed, is not a common possession; so
uncommon. in fact, as to belong only very
sweet Souled persons; or, if one prefers, to
saints Thackeray, when he laid this letter to
his forehead and exclaimed Saint Charlesi" had
full reason. Assisted by this charming little
message to Bernard RartOn's daughter (Which
must have meant much to herr, all Lambs
life passed, maybe, before him in a flash-its
goodness and kndlness, its disappointments
and sorrows; and, most of all, perhaps his
quickness to do little things for others. Saint
Charles" becomes very clear then.
New-York tribune., 1901-05-05

Win any recollection of the contents of these
hiahuals. We were expected to read The Task
py the ingenious Mr.. Cowper; but / read Trio
cihium, poem about the very worst boys ex-
cept those in 'Stalky & Co.. who are yet more
ooious And that is all the teaching in English
literature that I and my contemporaries ever
received.
What is learned Of literature, at oxford, is
learned from reading the best literature, that
or Greece and Rome, and from reading for
human pleasure. Mr.. Collins himself learned
literature in no other way-there is no other
way. Schools Of literature, examinations and
ALL ought TO be abolished. 1t is the general pub
lie that demands literary teaching, and Mr.
