twisted , and another was beautifully straight , till the dead parallelism of allegory had all evanished into the wild living forestry of that luxuriant imaginativeness which is the world * s nature , and of which man ' s nature is the reflection . Thus it is , that whethet
by literature or art , the best effects will be produced , not only on the gifted few , but eventually on the popular mind . True it is , that' to address the moral faculties through the medium of imagination , for any permanent or beneficial purpose , is the last thing thought of by our legislators and educators ; ' and so be it , while it is the first thing thought of by such men as Moritz Retzsch , and by such women as Mrs .

694 The Apprentice Boy .
Untitled Article
He came unto his master ' s house A rough and rosy boy : He had a brow that never blench'd ,
An eye all bright with joy . The heart that glowed in his young breast Was fond and frank and free , And buoyant was his bounding step With wild and youthful glee .
But pride was in his master ' s house ; The humble lad was spurn'd ; Oppression goaded him to toils ^ From which his nature turnM . Persuasion , kindness , might have led Him through a tedious task , And fondness won from his free heart ,
Whate v er love choose to ask—But none of these appeared to soothe His uncongenial lot—Disdained by those he liv'd among , By those he left , forgot , His feelings with a wild recoil
Rush'd back upon his breast , And hate sprung up where love had been ; A hatred all confess'd . He mock'd his master ' s petty pride ; He spurn'd his pamper d
son—Trampled in triumph on the task A tanner hand had done—He laugh'd in loud derision , when They call'd him bad and base . While conscious nature ' s noble glow Suffu&'d his handsome face .
