SOMEWHERE,
AUGUSTA COOPER BRISTOL.

Somewhere await the treasures we have strewn,
Which idle hands and feet have rudely shat
tered;
And tenderest love shall gather as its own
The pearls thus scattered.
Somewhere, the tears of broken-hearted trust,
OF patient sacrifice, and self-submsson,
Shall form the rainbow promise of just
And full frution.
Somewhere the narrow stepping-stones we
tread
The steep and terrible ascent of duty
Shall change to velvet terraces, o'erspread
With emerald beauty.
Somewhere The doubtful seed that we have
sown
Shall we'll disprove a cold, uncertain rootage,
And vindicate the hope we now disown
By fairest fruHage.
Somewhere, our human effort of to-day,
The faltering outcome of pure intention,
Eternity shall hold as brave essay
And true ascension.
o Universal Soul The finite range
OF earth and time may dwarf our high en-
deavor,
Yet life is victory, through the evolving change
Of thy Forever.

Dickens First Production.

Forsters gives this account of Dickens
first production: In January, 1914, his first
writing saw the light-the sketch of "Mrs.
Joseph POoter Over the Way" which he
had dropped stealthily one evening at
twilight, with fear and trembling, into a
dark letter-bOx, in a dark Office, up dark
court on Fleet street" The letter-box was
that of the Monthly 1dgIsine, and when
some days afterward he bought that mag
azine in the Strand-strangely enough from
young man afterward the Hall of Chap
man d Hall, thus lending new illustration
to his theory of the smallness Of the world
he was seized with no slight agitation at
seeing himself in print.
"On which occasion / walked down to
Westminster Hall, and turned into it for
half an hour, because my eyes were Sc
dimmed with joy and pride that they could
not bear the street, and were not fit to be

THE INTERNATIONAL PEACE JUBILEE.
The Boston Traveller furnishes some
further information in regard to the great
Jubilee. Up to date one hundred and
twenty-four choral societies have signified
their Intention of taking part in the exer-
cises.
"Seven of the most difficult choruses to
be sung at the Jubilee have been printed
for distribution among the singers, and
copies will be forwarded to the societies as
soon as possible.
at is the design of the builders of the
great organ to make this the most magni-
ficent organ on this continent, and per-
haps in the world. Besides possessing inn
mense and unheard of power, it will also
have fine solo effects, and even delicate
effects, so that it can be made an instru-
ment for organ solos, and give the multi
tude who attend the great festival an OPP
portunity of hearing the best organists of
the country in the various styles of organ
playing and composition"

Thackeray never began writing upon
less than quire of letter paper. Half of

remainder he would do his work, walking

tenance.

4 FANTASIA.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES

Kiss mine eyelids, beautious morn,
Blushing into life newborn!
Lend me violets for my hair,
And thy russell robes to wear,
And thy ring Of rosiest hue
Set in drops of diamond devil
Kiss my cheek, thou noontide ray,
From my love SO far away
Let thy splendor streaming down
Turn It's pallid lilies brown,
Till its darkening shades reveal
Where his passion pressed its seal.
Kiss my lips, thou lord of light,
Kiss my lips a soft goodnight
Westward sinks thy golden-car
Leave me but the evening star,
And thy solace that shall be,
Borrowing all its light from thee

The King of Sweden is said to be an ex-
cellent locksmith, and to devote much
time to the improvement of that branch of
mechanics. The King of Portugal excels
as turner of wood and ivory. The MEM
bers of the royal house of Hobenzollern-
possibly with a view to some future con.
tingency-have all been trained up to some
useful art. The present Crown Prince is
said to be an expert book-binder, and his
wife an accomplished miniature painter.
The Queen of Holland is a poetess, but
poetry is an inspiration and not an art.
Louis Napoleon and Queen Victoria have
both essayed to write books. The wife of
the Prince of Wales is a superb musician,
and has but few equals among amateurs as
a plan list. The Czarina of Russia paints
miniatures well. The Queen of Belgium
is a horse trainer and fearless rider,
while the Queen of Denmark is a great
housekeeper and one of the best cooks in
her dominion. 1t is also said that some of
the junior male members of the royal FAM
lily of England are proficient as practical
composers. while the Prince Imperial of
France is first-class typographer.
