uppy have written such books. Masson says Dickens' imagination was so active his narratives had very little value . . . . The Massons knew Alexander Smith and Sydney Dobell the two young poets, both of whom have died and both interested me . . . .

The house is quaint and old and is the original Tully-Veolan of Waverley—Scott used to go there as a boy . . . .

Returning to London in July, he went to a charming garden party . . . . The company was distinguished—Huxley, Spencer, Galton, my friend and reader Mark Pattison from Oxford, Sir

ersonally traversed are exhausted, memory holds almost as clearly those which the poets have trodden for us, --those innumerable by-ways of Shakespeare, each more real than any high-road in England; or Chaucer's Little path I found Of mintes full and fennell greene; or Spenser's Pathes and alleies wide With footing worne; or the path of Browning's Pippa Down the hillside, up the glen, Love me as I love! or the weary tracks by which Little Nell wandered; or the haunted way in Sydney Dobell's ballad, Ravelstone, Ravelstone, The merry path that leads Down the golden morning hills, And through the silver meads; or the few American paths that genius has yet idealized; that where Hawthorne's David Swan slept, or that which Thoreau found upon the banks of Walden Pond, or where Whittier parted with his childhood's playmate on Ramoth Hill. It is not heights, or depths, or spaces that make the world worth living in; for the fairest landscape needs still to be garlanded by the imag

nius of Longfellow. lb., American edition, II. 228. We have but one life here on earth, wrote Longfellow in his diary; we must make that beautiful. And to do this, health and elasticity of mind are needful, and whatever endangers or impedes these must be avoided. It is not often that a man's scheme of life is so well fulfilled, or when fulfilled is so well reflected in his face and bearing, tinged always by the actual mark of the terrible ordeal through which he had passed. When Sydney Dobell was asked to describe Tennyson, he replied, If he were pointed out to you as the man who had written the Iliad, you would answer, I can well believe it. This never seemed to be quite true of Tennyson, whose dark oriental look would rather have suggested the authorship of the Arab legend of Antar or of the quatrains of Omar Khayyam. But it was eminently true of the picturesqueness of Longfellow in his later years, with that look of immovable serenity and of a benignity which had learne
