Favourite Passages.

To illustrate his general remarks on literature, Mr. Andersen read some of his favourite passages. From Shakespeare he chose Oberon's compliment to Queen Elizabeth, and Cleopatra's immortal longings, after Antony's death. He then read characteristic speeches from Guido and Guiseppe in Browning's "Ring and the Book," and poems from Herrick, Keats and Shelley, the "ineffectual angel."
