Hall. personal violence attempted. a body-guard.- resolutions of the Massachusetts legislature. nomination of the Presidential Candidates, 1860. Mr. Sumner's speeches at Cooper Institute, Worcester, and other Places. No skill had he with veering winds to veer; By trampling on the good, himself to rise; To run for any port, indifferent where, So tongue and conscience make fair merchandise. W. W. Newell. Spiriti piu nobili del sue, io non ne avea mai conosciuti, pari al suo, pochi. Le Mie Prigione di Silvio Pellico. Such earnest natures are the fiery pith, The compact nucleus, round which systems grow; Mass after mass becomes inspired therewith, And whirls impregnate with the central glow. Although Mr. Sumner attended to some minor senatorial duties, and watched with an eagle eye the logic of events, it was not until the fourth day of June, 1860, that he came grandly up to the wo

cuous-this would puzzle the most skilful. Fame is the shadow of great action. Now nobody but Peter Schlemihl ever succeeded in living without his shadow, and it is not recorded that even he enjoyed that situation. It would be easy to show by a long series of examples the eager desire of men, especially the mediocre ones, that women should remain invisible. It was the Latin epitaph upon the model woman that she stayed at home and spun--Domum servavit, lanam fecit. It is a motto which Mr. Newell, the scientific explorer of nursery rhymes, would perhaps find preserved in Mrs. Mouse's answer to the frog who would a-wooing go : Pray, Mistress Mouse, are you within? -- Heigho! says Rowley. Oh yes, kind sir; I'm sitting to spin -- With a Rowley, Powley, etc. But as no amount of spinning saved that excellent matron from the terrible cat, so Harriet Martineau and other literary women might be as good housekeepers as they pleased without clearing themselves from reproach. Indeed, it

t. Phillips Barry has shown that it was composed at Bensontown, Vermont, as far back as 1835. Another piece which has roamed everywhere is Springfield Mountain, the story of a young man mowing hay who was bitten by a pizen serpent and died. W. W. Newell was able to trace the history of this piece to New England composition in the late eighteenth century. Of unknown origin but of equally wide diffusion is Poor Lorella, who was killed by her lover, and lies down under the weeping willow: Downbject to local changes and improvisations. Game-songs with strong formulae of some kind are likeliest to retain vitality, because most easily remembered; the formula remains constant if nothing more. Collection of such songs has been made by W. W. Newell for New England, and by many collectors for the Central West. Some well-known examples of game-songs, most of them imported from the Old World, are Weevilly Wheat, Juniper tree, Skip to My Lou, The Needle's eye, Happy is the Miller, We're ma
