A great disparity ill age between husband and wife, on whichever side it may be, is generally objectionable ; but beyond this, I could see no valid reason against. the marriage. The lady's ample for- tune would obviate the necessity of a large jointure to cumber the estate. Again, I was in hopes that if the Squire once saw the golden bait that had tempted him, within his grasp, his resentment against Tom might become softened, and eventually, under his wife’s undoubtedly ulninblc influence, be en- tirclv removed. I could not, however, find words in which to offer the money-loving old suitor nlly cou- gratulations upon the step which he propos- ed to tukc, and somehow I could not help wishing that thefme would have the good sense to refuse the offered lllal‘l'iage.

But it is, we believe, sufficiently notorious that he had a powel'of attachment which en- ubledbimtoignore the more details of official work, and the extreme inequality of his pub- lished books practically makes him an excep- tion which does not invalidate the rule. If n sonnet, according to the famous saying, is worth a. long poem, an epigram is worth a plump octave not merely in value, but in actual trouble of production.
