thankfuness and happiness seemed to have improvised
the same glorious song out Of the perfect accord OF
half million. Chnst come again could scarce have

THE TB DEUM.
Within st. Marks the scene was softer, darker,
stranger. Out OF the great nave reached golden
roned arches; the mosaes were rich in the ceilings
touched with concentrated light; yeneraby delicate
baptisma fonts and nrns of holy water stood against
the rich pillars of black and white popbyy the floor
was one great surface of mosaics that you walked
with selfupbraidng to crush such sensitive dyes;
across the choir dividing 1t from nave and TRANSCRIPTS

traye lifted the great crucifx where Christ dies for

the high altar Of Greek marble, rose into canopy OF

Jewels in the treasury and covering with its base the
body of Saint Mark the Evangelist The bottom Of
the church. where the spectators Stood was very dim,
the light lying warmest around the ceilings, yet one
could see the fash Of sword-hllts and epauletes
and the shining decorations on the breasts oil the re-
warded, the features and eyes OF those around
the King as they stood, bending, before the altar all
uncovered and STILL You could hear the pace OF the
sof-footed priests the echoes to whispers OF prayer
that fell abrupt, like kisses against the domes; the
murmur, as of SURPRISE for moment, at the WEIRD
ness of the building, into which, most probably the

nor abode-the TIE Deum pealed along the aisles and
arches like tunefnl thunder lOosened.
Ones memories Of grand emotions are apt TO err IN
favor of the latest II should say that this TIE Deua
was the most wOndrous music ever heard, perhaps

going into action, the serenade on the waters the
in wOOdg the dianagln OF
opera, sustained by multitude; these recolech0ns
come back TO me weaker than ever before, for the
lifting up of this TIE Deum was like the fight OF
mems souls, burst out Of them with song. They
stood 20 listessly below, the melody was so
strong and sOnorous above, that the discrepancy
of cause and effect made of them, TO the mind,
automatOns merely, like fountain-Statues, motion
less, that fling up mighty waterjets. Into the
comet, drum and organ the human song poured like
the cheer of an army into one buge-bast, and every
glad emotion went up to God with the dignity Of men
whose faith in the end met with surprise. 1t was
song for Calvin to have heard recOnciling faith and
destiny as he only believed it. IL was song TO be
given by the people Of Moses when the last wave
rolled over their enemies Calm thankiulness, so
calm that out of its good consciousness and self salts
faction it drew power swelled at last into one mighty
climax of praise tenacously prolonged, the last com
prehensiveness Of gratitude; and then fell absolute
quiet upon king, priest and soldier.

altar, was one Of the most remarkable that Europe

THE TRUB " MERCHANT OF VENICE
In this display the long thin boards and bloodless
faces of many old soldiers of the First Napoleon were
conspicuous They made strong features Of the
Gathering; but those who looked most at them
cheered but little. While the people of France obtain
alIgratude from the Venetians their ruling family OF
whom the Old Guard were associates, get no respect
in Italy The barter and sale of Venice was the work
of Napoleon Bonaparte conceived by himself alone in
the beginning of his career without apparent motive
and with the coldblooded determination which shows
