On satur4y,evening Mr. Edward Goalie
delivr- tan add>,'eaa in the .hall of IVewgi-
ham C '. ge, Cambridge,,' on "The Poetry
of WNtnen," taking as .his particular text
the poems of Christina Rossetti.
at
,' o sound gritfo will pretend that wo-
Men 'hail added anything to the sum of
male attainment in these mayor b!anohee of
art. The realm is, apparently, that the
artistic nature is not strongly developed to
her. She has energy, imagination, senti-
ment, invention ; but she; has not the
artistic im ulve. The consummate poets of
the world have been great artiste. In
Shakespeare, Corneille, Goethe, Poe, and
Keats we see the .artiet above all else,
above the man of intellect or vision. In a
much lower rank of poets we find the vision,
or the ethical bias, preponderating. In the
greatest men the art is paramount.
"But women, if the main entrances seem
to be denied them, ascend into the house of
• poetry by other doors. Lyrical verse owes
so much to them that we may easily forgive
their limited success in other direotions.
The lyric, which is a spontaneous jet of
music, an ejaculation forced from the heart
by an excess of feeling, demands less art
than any other form of poetry. It is per-
haps the only species of poetry which can
be excellent in its kind. and yet wholly art-
less. The border. ballads have no art, and
4t are exquisite ; and the history of poetry
adorned. by certain female names which
II always preserve their freshness, and
w ich yet were entirely innocent of art.
S h are Emily Bronte in England and
M rceline Desbordee-Valmore in France.
We do not know whether, with extended
opportunities, women will continue to show
themselves insensible to or incapable of the
highest literary art. Hitherto they cer-
tainly have been one or the other.
Any one whose privilege it has been to
enjoy the friendship of'eucceesful women of
letters knows how much more they are al-
ways occupied with literature as a profes-
sion than as an art ; how little they are
able to conceive the icing of work for ite
own sake, not for its result ; how conscien-
tious, industrious, and persistent they are,
and how little they are troubled with the
scruples and the lassitude of the artist. It
. is their lyric gift, their cry from the heights
or the depths of feeling', that has won them
that place upon Parnassus upon which no
De Quincey nor Guy de Maupassant can
eject them.
"I have denied poetic art of woman
mainly that I may give myself the luxury
of attributing ib to Miss Christina Rossetti.
To screen myself from the charge of ex-
travagance I will say at once that
I think the main interest of the position of
this writer in the history of poetry is
the fact that she indubiably. pos-
sesses this quality which is denied to many
men of genius and to almost all women.
Mrs. Browning was a force in literature—a
personage demanding universal recognition
for her intellectual power, her majestic
imagination, and her independence of other
literary influences ; but she was not an
artist. That title applied to George Sand
or George Eliot would be equally a mis-
nomer. What Lord Tennyson was, what
Flaubert was, it is surely plain that these
great women could not be. But precisely
this, in a restricted measure, it seems to
me that Miss Rossetti is ; and that isolation
of hers, as apparently the solitary woman
poet of the Anglo-Saxon race who cultivates
poetry as one of the fine arts, gives the
study of her verse an especial interest."—

Despite the fact that a heavy duty has
been placed upon soap by the Dominion
Government, with the avowed subject of
compelling the Canadians to pay whatsoev-
er price the soap -makers in the Dominion
may decree, the surprising discovery is
made that all the soap used in the Gov-
ernment departments at Ottawa is im-
ported. Not an ounce of Canadian soap,
good though it was known to be long be-
fore the National Policy system of taxation
was devised, is purchased by the Govern-

the disease, and even in the later
stages, it eases the distressing

of the regular organic functions.
As an emergency medicine, every
household should be provided with
