The form of beginning an article for the newspapers has become about as com inon as the old-fashioned way of beginning letters, which whs in this way. "I hike my pen in _ Imnd to write you a few lines, to let yon know P*""" that l am enjoying good health, and hope that you are enjoying the sam? blessing."' The new way to write to newspapers is, "Mr. KM I tor, my attention having been callal to an article in your last Issue, I desire to correct," ] Sc.. <*c. It neenis that correspondents of I newspaper* never see anything except that j to whicii their Attention has been callod by another. ? O ? ? Members of the Bible Society.

It is ! ,n unendurable tyranny. There is no j scape from it; No matter in what di- j ection a new writer sallies forth, al-1 ost always he discovers that this in-' [omitable mind has pushed its way >efore him. Imagine, for instance, he effect of a consciousness of this 1 ipon our nineteenth century, writers >f tragedies. Tennyson knew well, jeforo essaying his latest work, that he highest praise he could hope to I vin was the praise of even remote as tociation with "that high and sacred j lame." A critic dares to suggest such m association, and the world rises up n rebuke. In vain the Spectator reviews i >ne of Shakespeare's tragedies, points ' jut its weaknesses, and shows how ; minh mnm sflvftrft wft are iinon the sontemporary poet than upon the auhor of Henry VIII.

But the myth has associated Itself, in most detail and consistncy, with the Bay of Douarnenez. As . matter of fact, traces of Eonian roads eading from inland to the bay, traces if Roman buildings on the He Tristan, .nd at many points of the shore near he town of Douarnenez, point certainy to an important station which ez-' Bted at this point of Gaul, and oii ?ound upon which the sea' has at east partially encroached; These renains, in the days when legends grew, nust have been far more conspicuous han now.
