The children of Alice call Bartrum father. We are nothing ; leßs than nothing, and dreams. We are only what might have been, and mnst wait upon the tedious shores of Lethe millions of ages before we have existence and a name" and immediately awaking, I found myself quietly seated iv my bachelor arm- chair, where I had fallen asleep with the faithful Bridget unchanged by my side. —[Charles Limb. ORIGIN OF POPULAR PHRASES. Prevailing Poet.— The oft-repeated quo tation : Prevailing poet, whose undoubting mind relieved thu nis^ie wonder* which be aaog, Is from Collins' "Ode on the Popular Superstitions of the Highlands of Soot land," and prohably alludes to Tasso, although n passing reference in the poem to Kdward Fairfax, the translator of Taaso's Delivered," led Sir Walter Sjott, upon what was evidently a careless reading, to apply them to the British bard. With Our Owu Feathers are we Smitten. — Lord Byron, in '••English Bards and Scotch lie viewers," beginning with line 821.), wrote : Twas thlira own genius gave the final blow, And he p'.l to plant the wound that laid thee low : W the struck eagle, stretched upon the plain, »o moru through roiling clouds to soar airaiii, Viewed i-is own feather on the fatal dart And willed the shaft that quivered in his heart ; Keen were his pan^a, but keener far to feel He nursed the pinion which irapellM the steel ; While the same plum ge that had warm'J his nest Drank the last life drop of his bleeding breast. Fully 150 years before Byron wrote the above beautiful lines, Edmund Waller had composed the following : That eagle** fats ami mine are one. Which on the shaft that inide him die Espied a feather of hu own, Wherewith be wont to soar so Ugh. After Lord Byron came Thomas Moore with : Like a young eagle who has lent his plume To fUdge the shaft by which he meets bis doom. See their own feathers plcck'd to wing the dart Whioh rank corruption destines for their heart. But .Kachylus, the G reek poet, more than 2,000 years before Waller, Byron or Burke, originated the fable from which the quota tion, " With our own feathers are we smit ten," is taken, though the rendering does not acoord with the original, which, as translated, reads : 8o in the Libyan fable it is told i That once an eajie, stricken wit* a dart, Sahl, when he saw the fabhion ct the shaft, " With our own feathers, not by oll.ers' hands, Are we now smitten." Skylarking.— A term originated by sail. ora fcr games or tricks upon eaoh other in the riggings and tops of shim. Skylark ing thence became a general ttrm for mis chievous frolicking, and has "been abrevi ated to larking. Lind o 1 Cakes.— Thia phras* was first ap plied to Scotland by Burns, in 1789, in his poem, "Captain Grose's Peregrinations Through Scotland," which beffns with the conplet : Hear, Land o 1 Cakes and briifhfer Scot*, From Alaideultirk to Johnuy Ikoat's. " Maidenkirk " is an inversion af the name of the most southerly parish t hope for a reprieve, She most die soon, that made BUch hafce to live. Wasting Sweetness on the Desett Air. — This saying originated from the fcllowing lines by Gray : And waats its sweetness on the deseit aia. The elegy which contains it W»s begun in 1742 atd finished in 1749. :in 1764 Charles Churchill, then a very yocog poet, wrote "Gotham," and in book i2d, line 20, reads : Nor wane their sweetness in the deatrt air. The one line is often mistake* for the other, fr;m which it is an uat.onecious plagiarism. The Course of True Love Never Did Run Smooth.— lt is from Shakespeare's "Mid summer Night's Dream," and occurs in Act i., so. 1 : For aught that ever 1 could read. Could ever hear by tale or history, The course of true love never did ruß smooth. The Mind'i the Standard of tie Man — TLis quotation occurs in Watte* Holm Lyric?. In his estimate of " False Great ness " he wrote : Were IJJtJi U> reach the polc{ Or grasp the ocean with my sp« , I mn-t be measured by my s .uf ; The mind's the Standard of the man. As Qieer as Dick's Hatband. — This proverbial saying is said -to allude to Uioh ard Cromwell, who found $he crown un suitable to his head. Amithef origin of the expression is found in the following, given on the authority of that " reliably" news paper, the New York Journal uf CWmjjer'-.-^ which relates it at length in its department of '• Question* and Answers":' There was a character called Silly Disk (^ ick W'heol baut). His hatband went ci vn times around his hat, hut wouldn't Be ! But in process the description was changed to one that " went half round and tu&ed under," and another still more strange, which "went half round and tied in a double bow." By Dint. -This expression Is very com mon. The word "dint" is; the Anglo- Saxon (hint, force, as of a bloA A dint is a blow strong enough to n iks a Unit, Milton speaks rf "that mort: ilint," and Addison has "by ttint of armi ' Ilk. — This woril, commoi ly used in Scotland and the North of England, has two distinct meaning*, " eacl* ' as in the phrase, "Ilk one of you," and?' the same," as in the phrase, " Macken/.'a ■>{ that ilk," where it means " Mtckenzi of Macken zie," th? latter being the name of Macken zie's ancestral estate.
