Tennyson and Lowell.

Mrs. Proctor, the wife of Barry Corn
wall, was a great figure In London lit
erary society when Mr.. Lowell was
United States minister at the court of
ST. James. Mrs. Proctor was most
anxious to bring Tennyson and Mr..
Lowell together Tennyson, who was
whimsical in his prejudices, made va
rious excuses and affected to believe
that Mr.. Lowell was a poet of little
importance and an after dinner orator
whose graces Of style were overrated.
One day Mrs. Proctor told Mr.. Ten
nyson that Mr.. Lowell had written
some lines on her birthday and that
she must insist upon reading them to
him. The English poet looked at her
askance and submitted with bad grace.
Mrs. Proctor did not go further than
the opening line, II know Il girl-they
say she's eighty" Tennyson scowled
and sprang to his feet with a gesture
of Impotence. TOO familiar" he
growled out in high disdain and re-
fused to listen to the remaining lines.
Mrs. Proctor persevered in her efforts
to bring the two poets together, and
they finally met and became intimate
friends. Mr.. Tennyson was a man Of
many caprices and had touch Of shy
ness and cold reserve which made him
unwilling to meet stranger.

A Sly DOG.

The late DR.. James Freeman Clarke
used to tell this story Of his dog:
"At one time my dog was fond of
going to the railway station to see the
people. and l always ordered him to
go home. fearing he would be hurt by
the cars. He easily understood that If
he went there 1t was contrary to my
wishes. So whenever he was near the
station If he saw me coming he would
look the other way and pretend not to
know me. If he met me anywhere else
he always bounded to meet me with
great delight. But at the station it
was quite different. He would pay no
attention to my whistle or my call
He even pretended to be another dog
and would look me right in the face
without apparently recognizing me.
He gave me the cut direct in the most
impertinent manner. the reason EVIL
IDENTITY being that he knew he was
doing what was wrong and did not
like to be found out. Possibly he may
have relied little on my nearsighted-
ness in his maneuver."

Tho Care Of Goldfish.

The secret Of success in caring for
