It is true she was well aware that some of the high church dignitaries were not very well disposed towards Tennyson. His Open letter to a rector named Maurice, who had been removed lrom his cure, had not been lorgotten. But since her husband’s death, the. Queen had accustomed herselt more and more to attach a higher importance to the voice of her surroundings than to her own opinion and thus she was, fora while, unable to decide whether Enoch Arden really deserv ed the harshness with which he had been criticised or not. Finally she thought site had better consult some body else on the subject, and she happened to apply to a person who censured Tenuys<m’s poems with still greater severity, which was no wonder, considering that this per- son was no other titan the lady who is commonly believed to be the subject 01 one 01 ’l‘ennyson’s earlier poems, the celebrated Lady Vere de Vereâ€"â€"tlle poetical rejection (,1 an aristocratic coquette, who had cast her nets alter the poet when he was a young man.

This was what Enoch Arden was doing. Instead of apâ€" pearing before his Wile in order to resume his position as her husband, he lay down and died. After this twoluld condemnation af Enoch Arden, whose wonderful success had meanwhile fallen In a thousand echoes upon her ears, the Queen thought it would be best for her to speak with the poet hirnselt upon the subject which he had treated of in Enoch Arden. She, therefore, extended her drive along: the sea shore that very after- noon, boyond it, Usual length, and ordered the coachmun to drive fur- ther west. Osborne. the Queen’s country residence in the Isle of Wight, is rather distant from the house of the poet, who also liveson the island ; but no distance is conâ€" siderable there, and the roads all over the island are excellent. She soon after saw the. poet’s house, which lies in the mlddle of a small grove ol pines and fire, peering forth between the verdure and foliâ€" age around it. The Queen was accompanied by But that inscription is Enoch, is it not? asked the Queen, looking in passing a'. the epitaph on one of the moss-grown tombstones, and then answering herself:â€"â€"Sure enough, it ts Enoch! lt IS strange how important something which we formerly regarded with utter indifference suddenly appears to usl Then, for instance, this nume,which I have so often read on these Stones among so many othersfrom the old Testament during my excursions on the island. And looking around, she added â€"â€"â€"lt is a pity thatyour Phillip had not like wise a namesake here; people would not be. long in believ- ing that the two heroes of your poem are buried here, and they would maybe, lay the scene of vour poem in the shade of these walnut trees.

You do not mean to say Mr. Ten- nysnn, she replied. lhal on our little island here such an event as you reiated in your Enoch Arden has really happened?

The modern boot or shoe, with the prevalent ne- tion that e‘rerythingr rnusr be sacri- ficed to smallness. has squeezed the foot into a lump, knotty and irregu- lar, where the distorted toes are so embedded in the mass and mutila- ted by the pressure. that it is impos- sible to pick them out individually and completeness of their original forms.

White umerellns have become 1he rage in Paris, and the demand for 'ice is unpre- cedentea. Two Mormon missionaries were hustled and pelted in Livelpool one afternoon last week. The maximum temperature at Wimbledon Camp, as Officially reported on July let, was 128 degrees in the sun and 101 in the shade. Stephens, the Fenian head-centre, is now in Paris earning a livelihood by giving lessons in English. Mr. Train is still in the debtors’ prison in Dublin. One of the sultriest evenings last week no fewer than ten thousand persons bathed in Serpentine, Hyde Park. There wevo ten rescued from drowning during the evenmg. It is a curious fact that in the last quarter of1867, for one marriage in the Roman Catholic portion of the population in Eng- lzmd, there were two marriages in the Protestant. USE OF POETRY.~â€"~‘Ve once heard a gentleman say, “Shakespeare was cer- tainly a great writer; but what is the use of his writings ? Would he not have done more good to his fellow crea- tures by putting one loaf of bread into their hands?" But here is a good re- ply to the gentleman : “Poetry warms the heart, and fills the head with useful and agreeable inaxims and beautiful images, sublimes the affections, and thereby enlarges our enjoyment and worth. Moral excellence, in a great, measure, depends on exquisite senti- ments; 3 person may have both a lively sensibility and an improved taste, and yet be a bad character, from givinghim- self up to the dominion of his passions; nevertheless, Without the enlivened tem- per oi soul, no man ever became exâ€" cellent.” MISCELLANEOUS “ As a Temple our prospects are most encouraging. That we should meet with opposition from the minions of rum; that we should be looked upon with something akin to suspicion by by those Whose ideas are so wedded to the things of the past, that they look upon any species of improvement as a dangerâ€" ous 0r foolish innovation, are therefore incapable of appreciating the benefits arising from an organization of this kind, we must naturally expect; but that we should receive the hearty support, and, in many cases, the active co-opcratlon of the majority of the more respectable and intelligent portion of the community, is astate of affairs for which we could scarcely have been sanguine enough to hope, and from which we may reasonably expect the best results. “In view of these things, then, let us be thankful for the many privileges we enjoy, to that Supreme Being, who is the “giver of every good and perfect gift”, and let us testify our gratitude by endeavoring to benefit such of His creatures as stand in need of assistance, and guide our erring brothers in the paths of sobriety and virtue; let us show to the world that Temperance is not a more abstract idea, confined to the Temple and the lectureâ€"rooln.but that it is a motive prinmple, influencing us in our daily intercouxse with the world, and prompting us to deeds of charity and mercy. “Our Temple was regularly organized on the 13th 01' JulyI since which time two regular meetings have been held during the quarter, which were well at~ tended. There have been twenty-four persons initiated during the quarter,who. under the banner of Faith, Hope and Charity, have taken up arms against old King Aleohol. The financial condition of the Temple is as follows : Receipts during the quarter . . . . . . . $10 25 Expenditure “ “ . . . . . . . 9 50 Leaving a balance of. . . . . . . . . . . . $0 75 “This Seems but a small balance to remain in the hands of the Treasurer, “As a community, we have special reasons for thanksgiving. Notwithstand- ing the long continued. drjsajht, the har- . mfitj- ' is to provide, not only tine necessaries, but also the luxuries ef life, and, While the Omnipotent, in the mysterious dispensaâ€" tions of his providence, has seen fit to visit many localities with pestilence and contagion, we have enjoyed an immunity from all such visitations; and, in being permitted the enjoyment of inestimuhle blessings of health, peace and prosperity. we must certainly admit that we are highly favored. Notwithstanding the recent summary pro- ceedings against the express robbers of Sey- mour, Ind, matters are said to be in a very unsatisfactory state there. The Vigilance Committee are threatened, but are well pre- pared. They say that if the friends of the organized gang, among Whom were the men recently lynched. attempt any vengeance for the death of the six vagabonds: 15 or 20 more of the gang shall go to death by the same road. _ "'1. exrstence, and his hen o'wf‘éuoisiéét‘imm abode of the vilest passions that rankle in the human breast ; or we behold the husband and father under the malign in- fluence of the maddening bowl, changed into a demon, treating with neglect and cruelty, those whom he is bound by the ties of nature and the laws of God and man to cherish and protect ; we find the almshouse crowded with miserable beings who have squandered their property for rum, and the prison filled with criminals and felons, who, under its influence, have been led to commit crimes from which, in their sober moments, they would have recoiled in horror; or most revolting picture of all we see, a human being made in the image and after the likeness of' the Supreme Being, enthralled by the dcbasing appetite, and sunk below the level of the brute creation, the victim of that most terrible of all maladies, de- lirium, trcmenys, shrinking in terror from the demons by whom he 1magines him. self surrounded, and shrieking With af- fright at the sight of the horrid shapes conjured up by his own disordered im- aginatlon. Can any one who professes to be a christian, more especially can we, who have banded ourselves together for the suppression of this vice, fold our hands in idleness, and suffer so many of our fellow-creatures to go down to perâ€" dltion, without making an attempt to stay them in their downward career, or assist them to regain the height from which they have fallen ? Noalet these things rather inspire us to greater energy â€"let us put forth every effort to accom- p‘ish the object for which we are striw ing, and instil principles of temperance into the youthful minds, and assuredly our efforts shall not go unrewarded. Buttonvillc, Aug. 5, 1868. “ XVishing the Temple every success, and a more extended sphere of usefulness, I have the honor to be, Fraternally yours, “In concluding this report, permit me to urge you to continue faithful and earnest in the noble work in which we are engaged, and to strive to employ the most efficient means for instructing the youth in the great principles of tem- perance, reclaiming the inebriate, and removing from our Dominion, that bane of' society and destroyer of happinessâ€"â€" the hydra-headed monster intemperance. On whatever side we turn our eyes, we perceive the ravages of this ruthless foe. We see the youth of our country grad- ually and insensibly inveigled into the snare; perhaps the only hope of a. widowed mother or a, helpless father, lured eiifitep bx step by the siren voice “ Owing to pressure of necessary busi- ness, we have had but little time as yet to devote to exercises for the “ Good of the order.” But I would respectfully intimate that, as we will soon have less business on our hands, we should not neglect this very important part of our ; exercises, or trust to a chance visxtor for the means of rendering our meetings in- teresting; for any neglect in this quarter cannnot fail to be prejudicial to our well- hcing and usefulness. If our meetings, especialiy those held during the long Win- ter evenings, consist merely of the or- dinary routine of business, they will soon become dull and monotonous, espe- cially to that elass whom it should be our object to win over and retain among us, viz., the inebrlate, the moderate drinker who is striving to conquer the sensual desires of a depraved appetite. In the bar-room he can find congenial companions so long as his tastes and habits conform to them; but when he wishes to change his habits he must also change his soeiety, and if he does not find, among temperance men and in tem- perance meetings, some rational enjoy- ment to replace the song and jest to which he has been accustomed, can we wonder if he begins to long for “the fles‘npots of Egypt ”~the pleasures he once enjoyed, and eventually relapse! into the state from which he had just risen. but when we consider that our expendi- ture during the first quarter 18 much greater than at any subsequent period, it cannot fail to be satisfactory to know: that our debt for charter, &c., has been liquidated, and that a balance, small: though it is, yet remains in the hands of the Treasurer.
