COOLING LITERATURE.
The Cruel Joke of FIaUbert.
From the London Globe.

From London Globe
Is there such thing cooling literature7
We think there is only it can be more properly
called the literature of coolness- Horace, with
his Bandusian fountain. has some claim to be
the father of it, though in the description OF
cool water Spenser has probably excelled every
other poet. Goethe. who used to battle in the
lin by moonlight. told Eckerinann that In his
ballad of "The Fisherman" ne had employed
the mermaid myth with no other aim than to
express the charm of water in summer The
fisherman sat fishing, and 10, a dripping ner-
maid fair sprang from the troubled main" The
mermaid protested against the cruelty OF
angling If she said he only knew how gladly
him to dart across the sea on his own account
and he consented to the watery bliss

features which make 1t pleasant and profitable
reading. The late Sir George Groves admirable
essay in the Dictionary of Music and Must
