A vi ry natural inference it is, drawn
from tbe above quotation, that the gilt

respect, an enviable ono. Not that its
• ffect upon tbe perpetrators of rhythmic
splendors isu’t exquisitely delightful—
for no person more than thja poet feels
aud knows the meaning of the word
ecstasy—but there is a feeling common
to nearly all votaries of the Muse, that
they are upder special obligations to
offer something more than an »ordinary
excuse for their existence among men.
Mediocrity meets with encouragement
and patronage in nearly every other
calling of life, and is often preferred or
mistaken for superior talent; but tbe
mere poetaster is an invariable victim
to ruthless ridicule, and must bear tbe
buffets of al) classes, and all grades of
intelligence
Goldsmith, notwithstanding
tbe
splendor of bis geuius, was made to
feel the effects of this raillery, and he,
no doubt expresses a feeling common
to most off those who have tried

written'much that will long be prized
by those who love poetry for its own
sake and in spite of tUe rid iculous eccen­
tricities of its aatuor.
The worl 1,
though, as a general thing, is too prac­
tical, or too much absorbed in tbe rival-
pursuit of riches, to know or care much
about “the wild and wayward child of
song ” The limited few usually give
direction to popular taste; while the
“m^b,” if anything, is more eager to
cry down than up the fame of the trem­
bling aspirant to poetical renown, and
that, simply because the greater mass
of people have no opinions of their own
in such matters.
To correctly criticise a master piece
of painting, is said to require an artist
equal.y great with the oue that produc
ed it. The same ru|e bolds good, in a
measure, with regard to poesy. Au in­
tense love of it is nut always born iu
tbe individual. It. is more frequently
the result of cultivation aud habits of
life. As people become more and more
acquaiutpd with the best literature of
tbe age; as they forget to be selfish aud
cease to be fond of earthly turmoil; as
they rise to a higher plaue uf human
happiness aud intellectual enjoyment,
they are apt to become patrons aud lov­
ers of poetry. “Poetry,” says C >le-
ndge, “hits been to me its own exceeding
great reward; it has given me tue habit
of wishing to discover the good aud
beautiful it) all that meets and sur­
rounds mo.*'
Is it not a pity, then, that so many
people permit a maudliu sentimentali­
ty to thwart them in the possession of
such a habit? To recommend a more
universal study of the art of poetry in
our schools aud colleges, would be al
most tantamount to furnishiug self-suf­
ficient evidence of one’s fitness (Uf a
position iu tbe Insane Asylum, yet such
a recommendation, if carried out,
would not be wholly devoid of advan
tages. There is no valid reasou why all
persons who read and write should not
uuderstand at least the mechanical con
struction of verse. Not that it is abso­
lutely incumbent on all such to become
victims to the mania or folly of publish­
ing the result of their mental throes;
that may be left, as at present, to those
who haye courage to brave the atten­
dant odium; but the discipline which
such e^oercises give tbe mind is valua­
ble in any other effort at marshaling
what some writer felicitously calls
“soldiers of expression,” i. e., words.
