Such ingenious tricks as concealing and yet retaining enduringly the name of the author of & poem by an acros- tic, or beginning each chapter with successive letters of the alphiabot or with some acrostic, have been occasional in literature.

Allitoration, thongh it may proverly be considered 1> this article, is really as much én eficet by sound as by tho similarity of letters, The throwing tozether of words that commence alike may give us curious specimens of litera~ ture; but when this art is used to accorsplish the harmon’ of verscs and sentences, it becomes one of the mo:t ef ive graces of languaze. The best known specimen oft wlliteration is *The Siege of Belgrade,” commencing; “An Austrion army awfully errayed.” There have been other attempts of the same l'md,, among which are Mr. Newell's ** Age Bluntly Considered colmmeneing: “ As age advances, ai's and aches attend, Becks beilded broadest burdensomely bend.” And another, entitled, * Prince Charles proteeted by Flora, McDonald.”’ Alliteration has beew ewployed from the catlicst times, both in poetry and prose.
