RECORDED THE TRUTH Always.
Wordsworth's Poetry Set Against His
Failure as Correspondent.

Wordsworth, except by virtue of one
quality, was not remarkable as let
ter writer. His happiest moods were
those frances of thought and mount
ings of the mind" which came to him
when wandering among the hills or
seated upon some old, gray stone. The
act of penmanship was always dis
tress to him; in his elder years he was
troubled with Inflammation Of the
eyes, and he often dictated his letters.
He could chain his mind to record
facts, but to do so implied state Of
servitude. He cared little for the let
tiers of great writers, and expressed
a wish that his own might de de-
stroyed. He had no pleasant malice
eager to escape from the tip of the
pen, such as Horace Walpole had. He
had no bubbiing mirth which will not
be depressed like that of Lamb. He
could not engrave an exquisite vignette
for a friends delight and his own, like
Cowper His pen was not an etchers
needle, nor a dagger to stab, nor a
sword to cut. nor hobby horse on
which, to canter. But to set over
against all this Wordsworth could
write the truth, and the truth he In
vs,iably wrote.

In conversation about books which

she had read it four times, and that
she meant to read it again some day.

them, but their curiosity was reused
over the unheard-of thing of any
body ever wanting to read a
book more than once, and they
pressed her to repeat the story for
them. This she did with great accu-
racy of statement, and with genuine
pleasure to herself at being given an
opportunity to introduce anybody to
Meg and 10 and all the rest of that
delightful March family.
When she finished, Phoebe stopped
work and Mrs. Smith looked UP from
her label-pasting, saying: why, that's
