‘1 don’t know, my boy. Why do you

'Cause he acts like it, and W tshiog- ‘

with an air of supreme c> eviction.
The lad turned to the group per- :

bothered him, too

The intensity of application with
e which the mind follows whatever it
s lays hold of in literary pursuits is ex- i
e emplified in the case of Robert Ains
worth, a celebrated writer and anti-
• quarian of the seventeenth century. He
8 had been for years engaged in a volumi
r nous Latin dictionary, and while fas-
8 cinated with this heroic work gave so ‘
little time and attention to his wife I
that he incurred her bitterest jealousy, I
and before the work was quite complete
3 she committed the whole to the flames.
Instead of abandoning himself to de
i spair, Ainsworth set to work and re
<’ I wrote it, accomplishing the entire work
a • in time. The same bitter disappoint
. ment was endured with similar heroism
by Carlyle when the manuscript of his
“Frederick the Great” was destroyed
' by fire.
