THE CHRISTOPHER AND THE CRICKET

A STORY OF GENEROUS LITERARY EMULATION.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In a recent issue OF The Tribune
find Leigh Hunts charming sonnet The
Grasshopper and the Cricket which at
once recalled the circumstances under which it
was written, as related by Charles Cowden
Clarke in his "Recollections Of John Keats"
At this time Mr.. Leigh Hunt was occupying
pretty cottage in the Vale of Health on Hamp-
stead Heath. Mr.. Clarke went to call upon
him, taking with him two three poems re-
ceived from Keats, with the anticipation that
Hunt would speak encouragingly and indeed
approvingly of the compositions My partial
spirit he continues, was not prepared for the
unhesitating and prompt admiration which
broke forth before he had read twenty lines of
the first poem" The result was request to
bring Keats over 10 the Vale Of Health The
first visit of the young poet was but the prelude
70 many, and Keats was made a familiar OF the
household, and always welcomed.

tons having been made upon the character. hab-

denizen of the hearth, the cheerful little grass

say how long the trial lasted. I was not pro-
posed umpire, and had no stop watch for the
occasion. The time however, short for
such a performance, and Keats won, as to time.
But the event Of the after scrutiny was one of
many such occurrences which have riveted the
memory of Leigh Hunt in my affectionate re-
gard and admiration for unaffected generosity

Job in these words: "Canst thou send liGhtnings,
that they may go and say unto thee, Here we

usual response. Lightnings and electricity are
so closely related that no one nowadays needs

The writer Of the article under this heading in
THE Spectator of February 10 makes no ref

prophecies that ever attained fulllment. In

Drive the slow barge and drag the rapid car"

instance in which a dramatist has anticipated
