"THE LOVER'S TALE." Readers of Mr Teanyson's puem, "The Golden Supper," will remember that it is the last chapter in the story of a disappointed lova. There are a few glimpses of the earlier chapters, but only enough to make the sequel intelligiblo. It begins suddenly

"Ele dies the event; he leaves the event to me: Poor Julinn-how he rush'd away; the bells, Those mariaga-belis, echoing in car and heart”— tho "event" being the warriage of Julian's

cousin and foster-sister Camilla to his friend Lionel, "The Golden Supper' tolls how, when Camilla is believed to have died, a strange chance enables Julian to bring her back from the grave and restore her to hor husband,

And holdeth his undimmed forshead for Into a clearer zenith, pure of cloud,"

But certainly the most powerful passage in the poem is that in which the pathos of the story finds its natural climax-where Camilla confides to Julian her love for his friend:

"Hither we came

And sitting down upon the golden moss, Held converse sweet and low-low converse

sweet,

In which our voices bore least part.

If pirates often conferred such benefits on the public, there would be some danger of their occupation becoming more popular than it has been since the days before Minos. The three new parts, or rather oldest parte, of "The Lover's Tale" contain many pas- angus of very great beauty and power. They are also of the highest interest in relation to the development of Mr Tennyson's style, and their publication adds a new value to The Golden Supper: That noble but hitherto fragmentary poem now takes its

proper place as part of a finished whole. Probably the first feeling of many readers will be surprise that a boy in his nineteenth year could have written thus. No one, indeed, can fail to perceive how greatly this early performance is surpassed by his mature

work in subtle felicity of expression, in command of metrical and rhythmical re- source, in richness of music, in depth of thought and feeling. Still, when this wide interval has been recognized, it may be said the essential characteristics of the boy's style Are those of the man's. Poetical genius is often precocious in manifesting the imagina- tive and ereative faculties; but, considered as an artist of language, a poet has seldom, perhaps, been so ripe at such an age. The real lesson which these earliest poems teach is that the form of Mr Tennyson's work is more spontaneous and original, and less the result of a slowly elaborated art, thun some of his critics have been inclined to think. The following passage may be taken as a specimen of what Mr Tennyson could write

Stage dressing is an art of itself, an art of much importance and no small difficulty; many great actresses are wonderfully bad dressers; many more commit the oddest mistakes in costume, mistakes seeming to seeing a lady, by many esteemed the queen arise from a want of thought. I remember of modern comedy, as Paulins in the "Lady notte's cottage in her wedding robes of white of Lyons." Now, Pauline arrives at Mel-Thompson, who is working up the case, satin and lace; I do not complain of this, though I consider it morally certain that Mme.
