I Essays' bj Alexander Smith. A HCM0BOU3 PI JUESE OX VAGABONDS." 1 i Alexander; Smith, the young English poet work attracted attention some years agd, has published a volume of prose essays en titled Dreamthoirp." The book is supposed to pe" written in the Tillage of Dreamthorp, by a quiet old gentleman, who looks out of his dreamy country life with keen and noticing eyes. 4 Dreamthorp presents a very pretty picture, with its westward-looking windows painted by sunset, its children playing in the single straggling street the mothers knitting at the open doors, the fathers standing aboutin lotik white blouses." chatting the great towers of tbe ruined castle rising high into tbe rosy air, with a whole troop of swal lows by distance made as small as gnats skimming about its renfs and fissures. On Dj-eamlborp ce irios jhaye fallen and left no more trace than last winter's snowflakes.

Baf iJes have been fought, kings have died, his tory has transacted itself; but, all unheeding and untouched, Bream thorp' has watched ap- pletrecs redden and. wheat ripen, and smoked its pipe, and quaffed its mug of beer, andre- joined over Its new-born children, and with proper solemnity carried its dead tO the Church- yard Dreamthorp lhas a fcjiol, whose portrait is drawn: i Every village has its. fool, and, of course, Dreamthorp is not without one. Him I get to mat my messages for ine, and he occasionally triijis my garden bbrders with! a neat band enough. He and I bold frequent converse andt people here, I have been told, think! we hatje certain points of sympathy.

Although thi is uot meant for a I take it forgone. The poor faithful creature's brain has strange visitors. Now 'tis fun, now wisdom, and now something which seems in the queerest way I a compound: of both. He lives in a kind oK twilight which obscures objects, ajudl his remarks seem to come from another vvolfld than that in which. Ordinary people live.

He is the only original person ofi my acquaintance; his views of life are his own, and form a singular commentary, on those generally accepted. He dull enough, at times, poor but anon he startles you with something tha makes you think Ibe must have wandered out jof Shakspcare's plays into this out-of-the-wajf place." 1 One of the best disc )urses in the book Is that on I'Vagalmnds," purporting to have been! deli vered in the Dreamthorp schoiol-room. We quote it: I "tThe freshj rough, 1 eathery parts of human nature, where the air is freshest, and where the linnets sing, is getting encroached upon by cultivated lields.
