TKA’SYSOIV. Last Thursday morning, after a brief illness, England’s laureate passed quietly away, going to join our own Whittier, so recently dead. Lord Alfred Tennyson was born in Somersby, Lincolnshire, in 1810. His father was a clergyman, said to have been remarkable for strength, stature and energy. He was educated at Cambridge, where in 1829 he gained the Chancellor’s medal for a prize po<- n; the next year, while yet an undergraduate, he published his first volume of poems. This attracted considerable attention and was hailed by many as a promise of something better. His life has been uneventful, having been spent mostly in the country, in the Isle of Wight, amid books and flowers, free from the burdens and disturbances of society. But he has left a legacy in his poems which will keep his memory long in the hearts of his English readers. Perhaps the best work from his pen is, “In Mcmoriam,” It is the cry of a grief-stricken heart mourning over the death of his young and much loved friend, Arthur H. Hallam. The bereaved soul ories into the dim beyond after the vanished soul. The gloom and stillness of death led to questions relating to the being of God, the immortality of the soul, the nature and conditions of future existence. The longing soul must be satisfied, and driven by awful need, he betakes himself reverently to faith. The hereafter is guaranteed by its being the complement of the present. The departed friend is noo lost. “Far otf thou art, but ev$r nlffh? I have and I rejoice; I prosper circled with thy voice; I shall not lose thee though I die.” In the long list of his poems, there is no sweeter story than that of “Enoch Arden.” He goes as boatswain upon a long distant voyage, leaving his young wife and children behind him. He is wrecked upon a tropical island where with infinite yearning he longs for the fireside where his loved ones anxiously, but in vain, wait for his return. At last believing him dead, the wife marries Philip Ray, a former companion and playmate, who during the years of Enoch’s absence had cared tor her and her children. Upon his return, Enoch learns from that good, garrulous hostess of the tavern, “all the story of his house.” Longing to see her sweet face again, he goes in the darkness of the night to have a peep in at the window, and viewing the comfort and happiness of the home which is his no longer, his great loving heart almost breaks under its load. There is no more touching incident than that when falling prone and digging his hands into the wet earth, he prayed for strength to bear his burden, “not to tell her, never to let her know.” “Locksley Hall" will be remembered for the many sparkling gems which it contains. Its bitter denunciation of deceit and its grand prophecy for the future of the world, make it of lasting worth. The 1 ‘Idyls of the King” revive, in poetic form, the stories of Arthur and his knights of the round table. “Maud” was always, a favorite with its author and when requested to read from his works, he usually chose this. Tennyson delighted in minutely finished pictures, felicities of expression and subtle harmonies of sound. He gives us examples of English, which for strength and' beauty cannot be surpassed. He easily excelled any poet of our age-, though lacking in much that characterized the great writers of the Elizabethan period. His aim was always pure and lofty; his teaching wholesome and elevating. He has delighted the literary world as few writers of our age have done. Many of his lines and couplets have made a permanent place in the popular mind. And when now generations have looked upon his work there will remain for him a lasting place among our groat authors. The suspension of a national bank never caused the loss of a dollar to , those holding its bills, but hundreds j of thousands have been lost by those having state bank bills in, their possession.
