A VISIT TO TFANYSOX.
I went to the door of l'aringford with a
letter Ironi Hubert Browning, and wat re
ceived with cordiality. After dinner he
took me up to hie study, where he sat
smoking and talking in tfis frankest man
ner. Among other things, lie told me of
the people who waylaid him, the incidents
being sometimes very amusing. Two men
for example, Inning got into his garden
separately, one. climbed a tree at the hjs
proacli of the other. The other, seeing
him, called out, softly, “I twigl" and
immediately climbed another tree. And
yet he declared that no man was more
accessible than he to any one who had any
good reason for wishing to see him, or had
any introduction to hint. So I, for one,
certainly found it, the hospitalities of
Faringlord having been offered to me be
yond my willingness to accept them. It
had been a stormy evening, and the night
was of pitchy darkness when 1 started out,
against kind invitations to remain, to go
to the “Albion" inn near by. Tennyson
insisted on showing me a nearer way, but
amidst the darkness got oil Ids bearings.
Bidding me walk close behind him, we
went forward through the mud, when
suddenly 1 found im self precipitated some
oiglit or ten feet downw ard. Bitting in
the mud, I called on the poet to pause;
but it was too late : he was speedily seated
beside me. This was seeing the Laureate
of England in a new light, or, rather,
hearing him under a new darkness. Cov
ered with mud, groping about in the dark
ness, ne improved the odd occasion with
such an incessant run of witticisms and
anecdotes that I luid to conclude that we
had readied a condition which had dis
covered treasures of fun and humor in him
before unsuspected. His deep bass voice
came through the congenial darkness like
a mirthful thunder, not without flashes of
light; and the shades of all who ever
stumbled in the night seemed around him.
and to remind him of a whole literature of
such emergencies. Vexation was at least
not among tlie shadows that encompassed
us. though for a time we were wandering
in a muddy liehl, with no object, not even
the sky visible. “That this should have
happened alter dinner!’' lie exclaimed.
“Do not nient on this to the temperance
folk." Tennyson’s love of fun, his wealth
of witty stories, were from the first a sur
prise to me. llur, indeed, he is personally
very difl'en i t in every way from the man
I expected to see. Tall, of dark complex
ion, with a di e]) and blunt voice and man
ner, almost Quaker-like in its plainness,
fired of the homeliest Saxon words, he
seemed to he the last person one would
June picked out as the delicate and super
artistic idylist. in conversation he never
rose into any thing like the heroic strain,
except when speaking of England. His
pride in his country amounts to a passion.
He had also a keen interest in all scientific
subjects, concerning which he had evi
dently read a great deal. He spoke much
of the philosophical questions of the day,
also, his interest in which has led to the
formation of the meetings for discussion
between Huxley, Tyndall, l)r. Manning,
James Martineau, himself, and others.
Next morning it was found that Mrs. Ten
nyson had directed the gardener to make
some improvements at that point which
had not been completed. A walk was in
existence there, however, at the close of
the next day, to which was given a name
commemorative of the catastrophe, which
was happily without any unpleasant
results.
The next morning was brilliant, and the
poet took me on a walk around the manor
of which he is lord, the advantages of the
position bring that he can have his sheep
graze on the common, which otherwise
belongs as much to the public as to himself.
The house is modest and cheerful, sur
rounded by beautiful trees, with, on one
side, a thicket of wild bushes and pines,
very favorable to the pursuers already
mentioned. The window of his study
opens on a magnificent sea view. The
quiet home where Tennyson dwells, sur
roundi d by a eh inning household, is well
portrayed in his invitation to the Kev. F.
D. Maurice:
Where, far from ^moke and noise of town,
I w.tbh tin* twilight tailing brown
All round a c-nclcss ordered garden,
( iu»r to the ridge of a noble down.
“You’ll have no scandal while you dine,
But hoot ft talk and wholesome wine,
And only hear the magpie gossip
Han uloinj under u roof of pine.
“For groves of pine on either hand,
To break the blast of winter, stand;
And further on the hoary ehunnel
Tumbles a breaker on chalk aud sand.”
The poet has sometimes received as well
as sent out poetical invitations. Here is
one from Walter Savage Lamior:
“I entreat you, Alfred Tennyson,
i ione and share my haunch of venison.

liood, but bt tier when you share it.
