Good and Bad Composition.

A writer in the London Daily Chron-
Icle has revived the old dispute as to
the finest line in English poetry. He
quotes Prof. Churton Collins as Civ.
ing the palm to line in Swinburne's
Tristan and Iseult," the line that
says: And all their past came wall
ing In the wind" Certainly that ia O
great line. but the real difficulty, says
the Chronicle scribe, is to find the
worst line rather than the best. And
then he tells us Of a contest between
Tennyson and FitzGerald as to who
could write the weakest imaginable
Wordsworthian line. They succeeded
In producing: "a Mr.. Wilkinson, a
clergyman" FITZGERALD and Tennyson
each claimed this fine effort and the
point Is still undecided. Can any one
else do better than this!

and is never tangled up in law

himself and for himself only.
When call is issued for
volunteers to take hold of the car
of progress and give a lift he
never answers. When calamity
has befallen people in a certain
Locality and charitable humanity
flies to thier rescue he is never one
of their number. When money is
needed to gild the spire of public
enterprise his name is never on the
list. When he sees some neighbor
stuck in the mud he gees around
to avoid him. In fact, were he
standing on the shore and should
observe the snip or state taSt sink

would he throw. He didn't bore
