ENGLISH LITERATURE 
Continued from page 3 
One stanza which originally found place 
before the Epitaph, but was finally omit- 
ted as forming too long a parenthesis, is 
so exquisite that it deserves preservation: 
“* There scattered oft, the earliest of the year, 
By hands unseen, are showers of violets 
found; 
The redbreast loves to build and warble there, 
And little footsteps lightly print the ground. ” 
The last line may fairly challenge 
comparison with the best ‘in our litera- 
ture. Several other stanzas which were 
left out in the final draft are as perfect 
as any which it contains. Among the 
most celebrated and touching incidents 
connected with the Elegy, is the repeti- 
tion of it by Gen. Wolfe, as with his 
officers he was being borne down the 
current on the night before the storming 
of Quebec, and his remark, ‘‘ Gentle- 
men, I would rather have written. those 
lines than take Quebec.’’ Did a pre- 
Mrs. Thomas P. Abbott of Dorches- 
ter has been the guest of her parents

Railroad Restaurant Supper with other

vised it is hoped by every one who 
comes. After the supper there will be 
a grand parade, this will be followed by 
dancing for old and young. The ad- 
mission of twenty-five cents will entitle 
each persun to six coupons, each worth 
five cents in exchange for the articles 
named in the menu. 
Stephen B. Allen and daughter Lillian

S. H. Davis, the president of the 
Massachusetts Anti-saloon League is to 
be the speaker in the People’s Forum 
next Sunday evening. His subject will 
be ‘‘ The Proposed Temperance Legis- 
lation.’’ The Anti-saloon League has 
proven itself the most successfiil and the 
most powerful temperance organization 
in this country. It is conservative in its 
methods and it never takes a backward 
step. It willlend its influence to securing 
the passing of four measures in the pres- 
ent session of the legislature. Mrs. 
Davis will set forth what these measures 
mean. 
The fourth and last of the seri-s of 
sermons Sunday morning on the 14th 
chap. of John will have as its subject, 
““The Comfort and Pcace of Christ.’’ 
The Bible Class will meet next week 
with Mrs. F. F. Story. 
sentiment of his coming fate in the very 
hour of victory steal over the hero’s soul 
as he repeated the stanza, 
“The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power, 
And all that beauty, all that wealth e’er gave, 
Await alike the inevitable hour, 
The paths of glory lead but to the grave.’’ 
Perhaps it is not unnatural to think so.

Gray was a scholar and a very delicate 
one; the chief charm of the poem is _ its 
Doric delicacy and simplicity; its per- 
fectly limpid style is an instance of the 
art that conceals art. “The only criticism 
of moment that has ever been made of 
the Elegy, is its lack of a positive and 
elevated religious tone. But it will live 
so long as the English language is a treas- 
ure-house of noble thought wedded to 
melodious words.
