heart sank as he read and read. Line after

the review touched bottom
"Mr. Masainger," mid his critic in con-
cluding his nbtice, "hag long since retired,
we all know, into Inwther Arcadia. There
amang 'rale mimie ranges of the Suffolk sand-
hills—a eolra paradise of dale and mountain
—he has betaken himself with his prettylittle
pipe to the green, aide of a pretty little knoll,
and has tuned his throat to a pretty Iittle
lay, all about a, series of pretty little ladies,
of the usual insipid Lowther -Arcadian style
of beauty. These waxen -faced demob
somehow fail to interest ne. Their cheeks
are all most becomingly red; their eyes are
all most liquidly blue; their locks are all of
the yellowest ; and their philosophy is a
cheap and ineffective mixture of the Ble-
b Extract wish the eltoicest old crusted
English morals of immemorial proverbial
wisdom. In short, they aro unfortunately
atuffed with sawdust. The long poem which
gives a title to the volume, on the other
hand, though molluscoid in its flabbiness, is
as ambitious m it is feeble, and as dull as it
is involved. Here, for example, selected
from some five hundred equally inflated
stanzas, are the modest views Mr. Messinger
now holds on his own position in the materi-
al Comma: the scene, we ought to explain,
is laid in Oxford: the time, midnight or a
little later; and the Bard speaks in eo opria
pet sena.
The eity lies below me wrapped in slumber:
Mute and unmoved in all her strafes she
lies:
Mid rapid thoughts that throng me without
number
Flashed the phantom of an old surmise.
Her hopes and fears and griefs are all sus-
pended:
Ten thousand souls throughout her pre-
cincts take
Sleep, in whose bosom life and death are
blended,
And I alone Audio.
Am I alone the solitary centre
Of all the seeming universe around,
With mocking senses, through whose portals
enter •
Unmeaning phantasies of eight and
sound e
Are all the countless minds wherewith I
people
The empty forms that float before my
• eyes
Vain as the cloud •that girds the distant
'deep) e
With snowy canopies?
Yet though the world be but myself unfold-
ed—
Soul bent again on soul in mystic play—
No lens each sense and thought and act is
moulded
By deed necessities I may not sway.
Some mightier power against my will can
move me :
Some potene nothing force and overawe
