    point . I have sound argument in advocacy of such shape ; viz . it conveys the liquid in a smooth-, unbubbling , unbroken streamlet , clown upon the delicately-fashioned groove which your tongue makes to receive , and so wafts it home ; whereas your globular or flat-based chaps send it into your mouth with a splash and a gullup , gullup . And . for wines , we will have nothing but your gentle creatures ; hock , moselle , sauterne , and that family ; no blustering port , nor bitter or burning sherry ; and eschew malt as you would one of the toad-stools ; champagne is a mischief , * it unscrews the pegs of the soul ' s fiddle , or cracks the strings , produces first a crash or a rant , and leaves nothing but discord and drowsiness : our selection keeps all in tune . Port , sherry , malt :, spirits , aroint ye ! we must riot have such here ; they will

    engender Englishism as you look on the trees , —a cutting or tearing them up , or a wish that they were our property , ' or a calculation of how much money they would make . For viands , do be nice in these ; avoid sandwiches , all fat , butter , grease ; no mustard ; bread as white as a hound's tooth , and short and crisp as skill can make it . We will have a salad , —aye , an English one , —a rustic , —no oil , no mixture of yellow batter with it ; the

    right countrified vinegar and sugar rectifier . Now eat , drink , laugh , and be merry ; and having cleared the wreck , give thanks by listening to the twang and tink of that guitar , and the song which it accompanies ; or if there be one in the ring who cau read as if what he ( or she ) read were an emanation of his own thoughts , who can read as he would speak , tinging what he reads with the colours , the varieties of modulation and tone to

    which the sentiments , scene , and incidents , and character of the subject , would freely give birth , hear him or her . Such an one is too good a judge to select a pastoral or woodland description : he knows that all such things must be tame and insipid here , with the senses you take from the surrounding realities . Read those matters when away from their realities , to rekindle the enjoyment , to recreate the scene , and give a deeper impression to your memory . A tale or drama of incidents , developing character and emotions , is better now ; and mark how much more

    acutel y and accurately you will estimate motives , appreciate actions , and sympathize with feelings ; how your indignation will rise at fraud and oppression , how you will scorn or smile iu contempt at cunning paltriness , how you will sympathize with beauty of heart , how readily acknowledge a simple deed of

    affection , and how you will glow with a new , and perhaps hitherto unknownr delight , at the triumph of good feeling and honesty struggling through difficulty ; you will weigh the deeds of warriors in the scale with intellectual courage and moral daring , and the mind ' s independence , and hence find the warrior ' s renown as a feather against them ; you will see heroes as a whirlwind , ?
