Emerson S Memory.

Emerson was a notable sufferer from
the vagaries of memory. His biOgra-
pher relates that he met him one day
In Boston apparently at a loss for
something and asked him where he
was going "To dine" said Emerson,
with a very old and dear friend. 1
know where she lives. but l hope she
won't ask me her name" And then he
proceeded to describe her as "the
mother Of the wife Of the young man
the tall man-who speaks so we'll"
and so on, until his interlocutor guess
ed to whom he was referring. Even
the names of common objects often
failed him completely. On one occa-
sion when he wanted an umbrella he
said: 81 can't tell it's name but i can
tell its history Strangers take it
away" This failing of Emerson led to
pathetic scene when he attended
Longfellow's funeral and remarked as
he gaZed at the coffin HE was a
sweet and beautiful soul. but I have
entirely forgotten his name

Miss Spinster was consumed with Gu

"Oh, that's Mrs Gettemr' replied
the obliging conductor. "She's just

Strong MonosyIIabIes.

Instructors in the art of literary
composition usually condemn string
of monosyllables. but in the well
known hymn Lead. Kindly Light"
written by a master of the English
language, you may count thirty con-
secutive words of one syllable only.
They offend neither the eye nor the
ear
Milton often uses a series of mono
syllables. In the second book of par
adise Lost" we have:
The fiend
Ger bog or steep, through strait, rough.
dense or rare,
With head, hands wings or feet pursues
his way
And swims or sinks or wades or creeps
or flies
Such lines are not uncommon in the
book:
Rocks, caves, lakes, fens, boys, dens and
shades Of death.
And again:
OF neither sea nor shore nor air nor fire.

Nero's Golden House.

The golden house, of Nero seems
from all accounts to have been the
most stupendous dwelling place ever
built for mortal man. Even if we
regard the ancient descriptions as
somewhat exaggerated it remains one
of the largest royal houses ever built,
and the internal decorations seem to
have been incomparably magnificent.
It was surrounded by parks, woods
and pools of great. size, which appear
to have been entirely within the walls.
The colonnades of the house itself eX-
tended mile In length and crossed
one of the main thoroughfares of the
city. The cities Of the east were ran
sacked for masterpieces of Greek art
for the interior The walls shone with
gold and pearls, and the roof rested on
marble columns of enormous size and
beauty-New York American
