give me advantage in making future bargains, and open the way to ransom more time for writing. The account of the Seeress pleases many, and it is pleasing to see how elderly routine gentlemen, such as Dr. Francis and Mr. Farrar, are charmed with the little story of Mariana. They admire, at poetic distance, that powerful nature that would alarm them so in real life . . . Imagine prose eyes, with glassy curiosity looking out for Mariana Nobody dreams of its being like me; they all thought Miranda was, in the Great Lawsuit. People seem to think that not more than one phase of character can be shown in one life. Sylvain is only a suggested picture; you would not know the figure by which it is drawn, if you could see it. Have no desire, I pray thee, ever to realize these ideals. The name I took from Fanny Ellsler's partner. In the bridal dance, after movements of a bird-like joy, and overflowing sweetness, when he comes forward, she retires with a proud, timid grace, so beautiful

erature. When we think of it as depicted by Shakespeare, we think less of his dull or vulgar Audreys and Mopsas than of Miranda and Perdita. Both these last heroines represent a life absolutely removed from all that cities can offer; both are in part idealized, but Miranda the more so; we think of Perdita as a woman, but can hardly classify Miranda except in the real where Ariel dwells. Yet both are painted with strong qualities-Perdita with deep conscientiousness, as Mrs. Jameson has poinMiranda except in the real where Ariel dwells. Yet both are painted with strong qualities-Perdita with deep conscientiousness, as Mrs. Jameson has pointed out, and Miranda with absolute self-devotion. In that reversion to country life which is going on side by side with the increased tendency to cities — a combination which is making us all into a nation that dwells half the year on the pavementsMiranda with absolute self-devotion. In that reversion to country life which is going on side by side with the increased tendency to cities — a combination which is making us all into a nation that dwells half the year on the pavements and the other half in the wilderness-we may go back to that poetic side of existence which suggested his Perditas and Mirandas to Shakespeare. We shall never get back to the fantastic shepherdesses of French and Italian song, for these never were

that permeated all thought, all literature, and all talk, —fancy what must have been the awakening shock and impulse communicated to men's brains by the revelation of this new world of thought and fancy, an unveiling gradual yet sudden, like that of a great organ, which discovered to them what a wondrous instrument was in the soul of man with its epic and lyric stops, its deep thunders of tragedy, and its passionate vox humana! It might almost seem as if Shakespeare had typified all this in Miranda, when she cries out at first sight of the king and his courtiers, O, wonder! How many goodly creatures are there here! How beauteous mankind is! O, brave new world That hath such people in 't! The civil wars of the Roses had been a barren period in English literature, because they had been merely dynastic squabbles, in which no great principles were involved which could shake all minds with controversy and heat them to intense conviction. A conflict of opposing ambitions wears out the

fact is that nothing of the kind has ever been done yet anywhere. A single collection from the Minho would be sufficient, say from Orense or Melgaqo. From the northern rivers along the gulf of Biscay all that would be necessary would be one thoroughly complete collection from one of the little rivers that come down from the mountains of Asturias, say from Oviedo. The Ebro would require a more elaborate survey. From its upper course, one collection would be needed from Haro or Frias or Miranda; another from Saragossa, and one from its mouth, including the minnows common among the brackish waters near the mouth of large rivers. In addition to this, one or two of the tributaries of the Ebro, coming down from the Pyrenees, should be explored in the same manner; say one collection from Pampeluna, and one from Urgel, or any other place on the southern slope of the Pyrenees. A collection made at Barcelona from the river and the brackish marshes would be equally desirable; another fr

Charlestown schools after 1825 By Frank M. Hawes (Continued.) 1832-1833. For the ensuing summer term the trustees are happy to find they have been able to meet the wishes of the inhabitants of the several districts by the reappointment to every school of the former highly acceptable and competent teachers. These are: I. N. Sherman, at Milk Row; Miss Abba Mead, at Winter Hill; Manda (Miranda) Whittemore, at the Russell, and Mary W. Jeffurds at the Gardner districts. Miss Jeffurds is allowed to keep some private scholars not exceeding six, and to receive compensation there from. Messrs. Runey and Hawkins are empowered to attend to the schools outside the Neck, the same as last year. They engage for the winter term Miles Gardner, for the Gardner school; Elliot Valentine, for Winter Hill; and Joseph S. Hastings, for the Russell district. In September Mr. Walker resigned at the Neck, to go to the Hawes school, South Boston, and Amos P. Baker was elected to succeed him. The
