*Though the endeavor to construct a

the plan contemplates a skeletou struc-
ture resting on eight great iron tubes:
which are to be driven to a depth of
thirty feet. They-are to form a. circle
sixty feet in diameter, and to be of such
w length that the floor resting upon
them will be about fifty feet above high
water. -On this floor, a structure of
east steel will be raised to provide
quarters for the three keepers, / and

go about with notebooks, yon be-
by aid of griminess not fit to be
named among Christians. It i¢ the
same affair in poetry. Wordsworth
| was a poet by virtue of his genius.
| He was born so. His theories ham-
_| pered him, when he was true to his
| theories. Even our author perceives
that Shakespeare and Homer did
not need theories and popular science
falsely so called, and this is just as
true of Miss Austen at 20 and of Mr.
Du Maurier at an age which we shall
not conjecture.
Mr. Du Maurier was born a ~writer
anda story teller. Thirty-five years
ago he proved this in a little sketch
in Once a Week and rather later in
his poem: of ~~Braunigrindas� in| Catechized " Re pears 9 nes
Punch. Only a very skilled writer | Vestries will please be prepared to mcet
could have oedakcial, as Mr. Dy| the Bishop. forings to be for Dioeesnt
: Missions. i i
Maurier has done, the immortal lit-
tle Belgian poem translated in
oTrilby.TT Yet Mr. Du Maurier has
been drawing all his life, not sedu.
lously practicing another art, under
private tutors and with an eye on
Professor HuxleyTs lectures. Im.
provement is not of course impossi.
ble or a matter of chance. Some
men, like Balzao, have to crush their
gold out of a: mountain of, quartz.
All or nearly all who possess ~~style�T
gain itin part by cultivating a nat-
as observed by them in thé great
writers. .A.few perhaps, but very
few, have toiled Tike Mr. Stevenson
by the way of ~~the sedulous ape.�T
Thackeray, from his Charterhouse
days, was always Thackeray and
could not answer an invitation to
dinner without writing in the
Thackeray manner. Mr. Steven-
son, on: the other hand, kept his
dress suit of style for great literary
Pater we had a writer of singular
county, S. Peter's.
