ALEXANDER I'OPE.

l'opo died in 1744, and tho century and :i quarter which has elapsed hi nee his death has been marked by stupendous changes, not alone in the political world, luii also in the world of literature. Between the men of Queen Anne's age and tho men of the Victorian era there is little in common beyond the passions and aspirations which belong fo human nature and arealike in all ages. We stand, as it were, in anew world, with higher aims probably, certainly with stronger feelings, with wider knowledge, and urged on by an intellectual impetus and excitement of which the earlier period knew little. The poetical revolution effected at the beginning of this ceul ury, with its marvellous wealth of thought, its deep feeling, its e'xquisite music, its ran' perception of natural beauty, to which may be added its contempt for order, threatened by its weakness as we.I as by its strength to overturn the sovereignty of I'ope. Byron, despite his intense admiration of I'ope, whom he styled with exaggerated emphasis the •'gre.it moral poet of all limes, of all climes, of all feelings, and of stages of existence," adding that "a thousand years will roll away before such another can be hoped for in our literature," h'-lped nevertheless, although unwittingly, to subvert the authority of his master. Sv!t, great in so ma. ways and as generous as ho was groat, carried with him 'he isle of the nation into a region I'ope had never entered and Wordsworth, far less popular than either, bill destined as a poet to exert a wider influence, was not satisfied to think lightly of poetry with which lie had no sympath", but vigorously attacked the poe.. Yet Wordsworth hilftht It a vo learned at serviceable lesBon rroni Pope, for a ctreful study of his vers-- would have shown him th i! the noblest poetical conceptions, unless clothed in perfect literary form, i.tko slighter hold upon the mind than interior conceptions "blest, in the lovely marriage of pure words." Wordsworth did often excel in form as well us in substance, and he then attained HUprcm" excellence but ho often failed, ami set his precious jewels in pinchbeck. That such a poet should entertain a comparatively mean opinion of l'one is not surprising. Wordsworth had no wit, and wit is the predominant element in I'ope. Wordsworth deals with tho great verities of life, J'opo with the conventional moralities of society Wordsworth lived in the eye of Nature, l'opo in the evo of men Wordsworth was a greater poet than artist, I'ope, a lirst-rate artist, never rises to a place in tho first rank of poets Wordsworth, self-contained and self-sulllcient, maintained his poetical faith needless of opposition, l'opo had no faith other than that accepted by his age. It would seem as if inanr influences bad been at work during tliis century tending to diminish very sensibly the fame of I'ope, vet there aro reasons for believing that it has grown in spito of theiu. Within the last few years more attention has been given to l'opo than for at least half a century.

THE liOUXDS.

Some weeks ago, a weekly cotemporarr wrote and printed a story about a N'ew Jersey editor, who received from his friends, after the death of his child a gravestone, which the assistant editor, mistook !Wr rttlrelwiard ornamented I with a comic bas-relief, and which he noticed in the paper accordingly. Well, that story has gone out oyer the length an bre ulth of this land of liberty credited to six hundred dliferent papers, with the scone located in each one of ho States Territories, the District of \ylumbia, Canada, Kamsehatka, Mbitch tJuinea and 1'eru ll has been attributed variously to the brains of Henry Ward lleecher, Koger Williams, Fanny' Fern, (ieorgo Mountjoy, (Jeneral llut-j ler, Hannibal Hamlin, Sojourner Truth,j Ueuoral Collin and other Revolutionary heroes: Daniel Defoe. (Joorge Francis Train, Kit Carson, William Venn, Sen-] ator hovels and Tilly Slo\vl»oy. In, about a weok more we expect to hoar, from Asia that the Chinese have had tliis store for fifteen centuries, and that CouAieious read it to the Khan of Tar-j tatv, A. D. 307, from a turret of the Chinose wall and, if some correspondent doesn't send it over the cable as an an-1 ocdote related by Napoleon in an interview at Wilholmshohe, he will be surprisod and mortified.

way, always mistrust the man who will not take the last piece of toast, but prefers waiting for the next warm batch it is likely that he will make a greedy and very aollish husband, with whom you will enjoy no "brown" at dinner,

no crust at tea, no peace whatever at home. The man, my dears, who wears rubbers, and is caruful about wrapping himself up before venturing in the night air, not uu frequently makes a good invalid husband, thai mostly stops at home, and is easily comforted with slops. The man who watches the kettle and provents its boiling over, will not fail, my dears, in his married state, in exercising the same care in always keeping the pot boiling. The man who does not take tea, ill-treats cats, takes snuff, stands with his back to the lire, is a brute whom I would not advise you, my dears, to marry upon any consideration, either for love or money—but, most decidedly, not for love. Hut the man who, when tea over, is discovered to have had none, is sure to make a good husband. Patience like his deserTes to be rewarded with the best of wives and the best of moth ers-in-law. My dears, when you meet with such a man, do your utmost to marry him. In the severest Winter he wouldn't mind going to bed first.

IliiAiir Diskask.—A medical practitioner gives a hint in regard to this disease which it will be well to remember. He says that those who are predisposed to it need not give up the ship, but for all of it may expect to lire to a good old agOj if they will avoid violent exercise, stimulating food and drink, exeiteniont, worry, eating so much as to get fat, and thinking about their heart. This is not the only secret contained in his excellent advice, which is the mainspring of enjoying life as well as prolonging it. It'we would live in the sunshine, we must keep the clouds of despondency and unusual exceiteinent away froin our soul atmosphere.

As a gentleman was walking the streets of Washington tho other night, he was accosted by three ruffians who pretended to be drunk, and asked the time of night. "I will toll you," said ho in the blandest tones. Placing his hands in one of his pockets «s if todraw out his time piece, and drawing fi,:-!h:. revolver instead, he presented the latUu-, uud cooly remarked: "It is going to ntrikc three."

nian, fresh from tho "old sod, having sufficient moans to provjt lo himself with a horse and cart (the latter a kind he probable never saw b°fore), he went to work on a public road. Being directed by the overseer to move a lot of stones near by, and deposit them in a gully on tho*side of the road, he forthwith loaded his cart, drovo up to tho place, and had nearly finished throwing off his load by hand, when the boss told him that was not the way, ho must tilt or dump bis load at once. Pa/ldy rejdied that ho would know bettor tlie next time. After loading again lie drovo to the chasm, put his shoulder to tho wool, and upset the horse, cart and all, intothegully. Scratching his head, and looking rather doubtfully at his horse below him, he observed:—"Bedad, it's a mighty quick way, but it must bo trying to tho baste."
