ure which in a manner saved his time, although the lines bore to the general public the names of Scott and Campbell, who respectively borrowed them. The first is found in Freneau's Indian Burying-r the hills in chase he flits, The hunter and the deer a shade. There is also a line of Sir Walter Scott which has its origin in Freneau. In the introduction to the third canto of Marmion in the shield. An anecdote which the late Henry Brevoort was accustomed to relate of his visit to Scott, affords assurance that the poet was really indebted to Freneau, and that he would not, on a proper occasion, have hesitated to acknowledge the obligation. Mr. Brevoort was asked by Scott respecting the authorship of certain verses on the battle of Eutaw, which he had seen in a magazine, and had by heart, and which he knew were American. He was told that they were by Freneau, when he (Scott) remarked, The poem is as fine a thing as there is of the kind in the language. Mary S. Austin'

His first success was made at the height of Scott's fame, and his novels have held their own in popularity beside Scott's, ever since.

n, he leaves you to discover the profound spiritual truth involved in the story. I have always thought him in this respect to have been influenced, or at least anticipated, by a writer who has been too much overlooked, and whose influence upon him seems to me quite perceptible, although his biographer, Prof. Woodberry, is disposed to set it entirely aside. This was William Austin, the author of Peter Rugg, the Missing man, a delineation more Hawthornesque, in my opinion, than anything in Scott, to whom Prof. Woodberry rightfully assigns some slight influence over Hawthorne. This tale was first printed in Buckingham's New England Galaxy for Sept. 10, 1824; and that editor says of it: This article was reprinted in other papers and books, and read more than any newspaper communication that has fallen within my knowledge. The original story purports to belong to the year 1820, and the scene of a later continuation is laid in the year 1825, both these being reprinted in the Boston

Better a thousand times train a boy on Scott's novels or the Border ballads than educate him to believe, on the one side, th to reach human nature itself. When we look at the masters of English fiction, Scott and Jane Austen, we notice that in scarcely one of their novels does one personinging,-- The churl is lord, the maid is bride ; and it proved necessary for Scott to write a sequel, explaining that the marriage was on the whole a rather unhappy one, and that luckily the pair had no children. Not that Scott did not appreciate with the keenest zest his own Jeannie Deanses and Dandie Dinmonts, but they muof thirty, Darwin tells us, he took intense delight in poetry — Milton, Byron, Scott, Wordsworth, and Shelley-while he read Shakespeare with supreme enjoyment.
