A BLOW Arrested.

An organist who on the eve of a fes-

a deputy to take his place. The depu-

Our dramatic critic, in his review

such phrases necessarily accompany
such plays They do, indeed, and the
use Of them makes one understand

emotion which they do not feel For
If a writer has a real emotion Of his
own TO express he will either use a
metaphor suggested to him by that
particular emotion or none at all. This
Is matter of instinct, not Of literary
art; for fresh emotion will not be

feel itself misreDresented by them
That Is one reason why, when power
