cbret men Of Dorset.

I have lately been meeting with sew
eral persons who resided about the
same time as each other, about forty
or fifty years ago, in the county of Dor
set, and we have considered it remark
able that the town of Dorchester
should have produced three such emil
nentamen as Thomas Hardy, the Bishop
of Durham, and Sir Frederick Treves.
In their profession, I suppose, there
are none better known In the English
speaking world, and l am proud to
think that the three in their boyhood
lived very near to one another. Thorn
as Hardy we have known for years,
and highly appreciated his writings,
and when the principal of Ridly Hall
was appointed Bishop of Durham in
the autumn of last year the appoint
ment at once became highly popular,
especially with Nonconformist; while
now Sir Frederick Treves has risen to
the pinnacle of his profession and his
skill and fame are known in almost ev-
cry land. Long may our provincial
towns produce such men who shall
prove a blessing to coming generations.

On whose bosom lie asleep

Thou, o subtle conjuring sprite.
With Eolian-liquid reed,
From thy watery crypts uplead
Beauty long evading sense
SoulOf life and joy intense;
Lift it, for moments span,
To the gaze of mortal mani"
Then the elfin spirit blew:
And the listening wonder grew,
AS the circle on the pool,
Widening, breaks the shadow cool.
Nymph and Nuphar drank the sound,
And their chariest sweets unbound;
Brow.bent flowers did upward look,
willows like the aspen shook:
Not leaf but it fOreknew
Beauty soon should meet the view.
Up the music's magic tide
Swiftly did the vision glide:
Winged it was, and rainbow-gemmed,
Plume-bedight. and diademed;
And the face these wings below
With immortal fire did glow
Soul of lif and Joy intense!
Rose a voice Il knew not whence)-
"Psyche!"-On, and on, it passed,
Psyche, Psyche comes at last!''
