avron's Burned Memoirs.

All lovers OF Byron are aware that
this cratic genius found time In his
short, adventurous life to write his
memoirs and. that on his death these
passed into the hands Of his friend.
Thomas Moore. who. exercising dis
erection committed to him, promptly
consigned the manuscript to the flames.
No doubt the writer OF "Irish Melo-
dies" had very good and highly proper
reasons for taking this decisive step.
and 1t is quite likely that the publica-
ton of the memoirs would not, for OBJ
vious reasons, have been possible for
many years after the poets death; yet
as succeeding generations have been
brought face TO face with the peculiar
" complex genius OF Byron. with its
lofty moods and its many dark places.
they have felt need OF the light which
only the records written by vanished
hand could leave supplied. Phlladel-

Examination Of Milton.

One of the most curious instances OF

mains at the parish church OF st Giles,

pressed as to the exact position OF the

A struggle for relics followed. bones,
teeth and hair being seized by the par

the workmen engaged there shared in
