Robert Collver On Oscar Wilde

The llev. Robcrt Collyer, in a leoture at New York on Tliorcau, n a conversational digression when eommouting on ïhoreau's indopendence of opinión, said: "I don't have the highest opinión, of Mr. Oscar Wilde. I think tliere is a great deal of unpardonable oonceit about the yonng man; but I admire him for ono thing, aud that is his protest against the accepted belief tl ut evory man must dress like every other man. Now, I myself could easily contrive a costume which I have in niind vrhieh wonld make me look f. great dealliandsomer than these garments which T am obliged to wear, but I dare not do it." Mirrors should not bc hnng wherethe sun shines directly npon them. Cinders make a lire for ironing days.
