FORBEARANCE,

Oh living were u bitter thing,
riddle without reasons,
If each sat lonely, gathering
The hopes and fears numbering
Within his own hearts narrow ring,
The flight Of earthly seasons.
Thank God, that in lfes little day,
Between our dawn and setting,
We have kind deeds to give away,
Sad hearts for which our own may pray,
And strength, when We are wrongxd, to stay
Forgiving and forgetting.
Thank God for other feet thatbe

For blessed Christian charity,
Believing good she cannot see,
Suffering her friends intirmity-
Enduring and forbcSring.

"List TO the Nachias Bird

a strong story is related By the Scott
Legion boys at the expense Of one Of
the captains attached to their regiment.
The story IN brief is this;
Shortly after the arrival Of the regiment
at ---, our officers, while passing a
handsome dwelling were listeners to most
beautiful music. The unknown vocalist
sang in tones so soft, so t,epiulous aud
ueIodious that they strained their ears 10

day time they went by squads past the
dwelling but saw no soul. Once they
pursued sylphlike figure to the very
gate, but alas she was not the lady
sought for. And so they lived on, each
ight hearing the music repeated and
when it ceased. ambition aud worldly IN

dreams were filed with fancles of the un-
known face. One night when gathered
together, the voice struck up again.

Anecaote of Edmund Nean.

Mr.. Howard Paul, who is the Loudon
correspondent of the New York Rtustra-
ted Ne,es, relates in recent letter, the
following:
"Mr. Lewis, who has been connected
with Drury Lane for many years. told me
a characteristic anecdote of Edmund
Kean, which has never appeared in print
anu which you shall have. 1t seems that
The great tragedian and Charles Incledon;
the popular singer, were one Gay walking
in Bond street, when they were met by
Lord Essex, who bowed distantly to Kean,
albeit they were on terms of intimate
friendship. The next day Kean fouuda
note at the theatre from my lord, desiring
HIM to call at his house. He went, and,
contrary to the usual custom, was ushered
ioio the library, where LORD Essex re-
ceived him The usual formalities over;
the nobleman said TO the tragedian, My
dear Kean, you will pardon me. You
snow now greatly i admire your genius,
but | was startled yesterday on seeing
sou promenade. arm Ill arm, with that
singing man, Incledon.' My lord, said
Kean, with flashing eye, 'Pray don't ex;
cite vourself-now don't, my dear Keah,'
pursued ny lord but the respeet-1 mat
say reverence-I bear for your wonderful |
een:us, prompts me to this explanation
Lord Essexr cried Kean, rising, draw:
ing himself up, and casting withering
glance at his noble patron, twelve years
ago, my family were in want of bread;
Charles Incledon, my friend, supplied the
means to procure it, and when Edmund
Kean furgets his friends, may God forget
himr And from that hour the two mer
never exchanged courtesies. When ono
remembers the magnificent voice and ifn-
pessioned power Of the eye of the great
Edmund this little episode must long
have lived in the memory of the lordls
