Die Down. -.is.as
From the San Francisco Chronicle.I
Mrs. Helen Marble is a very good
singer. She often sings at temperance
meetings, at Sunday afternoon discus
sions at Dashaway Hall, and at church
fairs, and the like. Mrs. Marble is also
good reader of poetry. She reads
Poe's Raven" with weird and fan
tastic grace, and frequently throws such
deep, sepulchral tones in it that many in
the audience feel cold shiver run down
their backs, and their hair stands on end
like the bristles on a scrubbipg- brush.
The other night, at a meeting of the
Father Matthew Society, Mrs. Marble
was invited to fa'l
REoITE THE RAVEN"
The lady came and rested her large
expressive eyes upon the audience and
began. There was woman in the au-
dience with little child which was
somewhat restless, but everybody was so
taken up with Mrs. Marbles beautiful
reading that nobody noticed it at first.
Mrs Marble read with great feeling the
first few stanzas, but it was plain to be
seen that she felt annoyed at the restless
child She read:
Then methought the air grew denser.
Perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by Seraphim, whose footballs
Tinkled on the tufted floor.
