Many of Them Were Confident That They I Had Made Their Names Immortal. It is of course pardonable that a . great man should have a high opinion of himself, says a recent writer. One cannot find much fault with Words--1 worth, even when one reads that he - spoke of himself as writing on, though fully assured that his poems would be e unpopular, because he knew that they would also be immortal! Many other poets have laid to their souls the same flattering unction, and have been content to wait for postert ity, which, however, has not always p been content to read them Horace, speaking of his odes, said. “I have r erected a monument more durable than brass and more regal than the lofty heightsof the pyramids," while Shakespeare in one of bis sonnets used an expression so similar that one suspects it at once of being borrowed: s “Not marble, nor the gilded monuments Os princes shall outlive this lofty rhyme: j But you shall shine more bright in these contents Than unswept stone, besmeared with sluttish t time.’’ Lord Tennyson, too, is reported to have said the “Bugle Song" in “The 1 Princess” is the finest lyric in the English language. Walter Savage Landor was of the opinion that his “Imaginary Conversations” were of sue t literary 1 value that there had not been five volumes of prose to equal them in* two _ thousand years. Coming to another sphere of life from that of the poet—the cricket field, to-wit—we may mention old Lilly white, who used to say: “I bowl the best ball in England and ? Mr. Horene bowls the next.” It is A quite true, doubtless; but even its truth was overshadowed by its beautiful modesty. 1 It is related of Victor Hugo that, when quite unknown, he walked into i the office of a certain publisher and t tried to sell him some poems. The publisher was not in a buy ng frame of mind, and Victor, as he went, nut, said: “You have to-day thrown away a fortune, sir. I was about to make an ara rangement with you whereby you • would be able to publish everything I r shall write in the future. You have i lost the opportunity. It is one that 1 will never occur again.” The “Born-Tired’’ Man. ) The fellow who was born very tired L I grew more and more weary as he went . | through the haps and mishaps of childhood, the adolescence of youth ami the J early period of manhood. At middle age he was the tiredest man then liv- . I ing. At fifty he was so utterly worn . i out with the simple process of existing . i that it occurred to him to calculate L ; how many breaths he must draw if he I went on living for twenty years more, ' ■ and, being a man in fair preservation, i there was a good prospect of his reaehI ' ing the allotted threescore and ten ! years of average mankind. Well, the j tired citizen figured it out on the basis J of eighteen breaths a minute, 1.080 to l the hour. 25.920 to the day, 9,4(52,280 for j ‘ 1 a year and 189,342,800 for twenty' ; years. The figures appalled him, and ; i he died in disgust and discouragement. '
