      ciate beauty , even the most light and simple . You are not such an ass as Dr . Johnson was , when he thought that because Milton wrote Paradise Lost , L'Allegro must needs be a failure . You may even be in time , Adam , to give the last blow to the selfish monopolies that have confined and polluted art , as they would

      have confined and polluted nature , if they could . We assume your love of art ; for it is the same feeling with that love of nature which enabled your father to describe so graphically . They go together . And some day you will fall in love , Adam . Do not then neglect your diary . Neither poets , dramatists , philosophers , nor moralists , have yet expounded Love to the world , rightly ,

      truly , and fully . Adam , they have always made it animal , sentimental , or conventional ; and you must teach them better . You must faithfully trace its purifying , softening , and expansive influence on your character , raising you towards the perfection of your being , as could no other species of influence . You must have no Eve that will play upon your weakness , but one that

She will have , we hope , her predecessor ' s work for guidance , which , ( like her other writings , ) welcomed at once by the wise , good , and free spirits of the time ,

      may then have grown into the full popularity which they deserve-We had more tu say , but our parting benediction is growing somewhat lengthy , and thou art impatient to look after ' your dear little favourite , the primrose , ' and to ' scrape off the moss from the espalier , ' and to put ' pea-haulm round the cauliflower glasses , ' which must be done , for there will surely be a frost as soon as the wind changes ; so go thy ways , Adam , go thy ways .

      Church Reform and the Dissenters . —The evil anticipated in an article in our last Number seems likely to be realized . A portion of the Discerning body has shown itself ready and willing to cooperate with Ministers in patching up the Hierarchy by a sham reform . The Dissenters have been instructed from head quarters not to pray for the dissolution of the union between Church and State , but to confine their tupplicttiona to ? practical grievances / i . t . registration , marriage , and
