him tragedy cannot be said to have
outlived Its day; on the contrary, out o!
all theatrical entertainments those OF the classic"
pieces that are based on the principles OF human
nature, always and universally lmmutable, viii ever
most apty rouse the heart and mind Of the theatre
goer In any country and age. There are not always
at hand great tragedians to give us taste OF
tragedy, even II we could bear being SO often
stirred up. Surprising as the 'classlc" master
pieces are IN ef1ect when powerfully acted, stlll
the sweet warbling of prima donnas and tenors,
the trivialities OF comedy and the hash OF shows
win continue to be served up on the boards In
swift succession. When we are not hearing Nils
son our ears will be open to Patti; when Cox Is
absent Box will be present.; and when one Black
Crook Is taken away another shall be given in It's
place. Life is mixed. On the whole, however,
provided there exist actors like Salvni capable OF
Interpreting the most dif1cult OF classic pieces,
then the classic repertory may simultaneously be
removed nom the centre table TO the stage OF
theatre-not without. AriOst0 says. TAILOR creSce

Salvini has been playing In Italy for the last
twenty years, and yet he has never failed OF sue
cess In any city whittier he and his company have
migrated. Italy, supreme In taste, believes as
firmly In tragedy as In opera, and the ragedian
salvini - as much enjoyed BY her children as the
sweetest songstress. His conpatriots have never
got tired Of him or high drama over and over
again they greet him with enthusiastic applause.
In their eyes he Is species OF IDOL ana in talking
to foreigners they proudly speak OF him rs '.Our
Salvtni, T" as though they would put him up against
all corners and well they might, for he Is without
an equal. Marquis D'Arcais, the art critic, whose
authority Ia recognized throughout the peninsula.
constantly eulogizes Salvini for his steadfast ad-
herence to and proficiency In the schools OF Shak-
speare and Al1eri, while unable sufficiently to
anathematize the trash current from Paris. D.

Cedar Spring and Long Cane Bible
Society.

On Saturday, the 26th of July,
the Cedar Spring and Long Cane
Bible Society held its annual meet
ing at Long Cane. This Society
has been in existence ten years,
having been organized on the 25th
of July, 1868. Its members at the
organization consisted OF members
of the different denominations III
the neighborhood, mostly of our
own congregations, however, and a
few who were members of no
church, Most Of those who were
not members Of the church at Cedar
Spring and Long Cane, after ayear
or two, silently withdrew, and some
of our own people meet but seldom
with US. A sad picture to look
upon. 1t is strange how little IN
terest is manifested by some whom
we are accustomed to regard as
Christians in this great work OF
publishing the Scriptures, and send
ing them to those who are sitting
in the region and shadow of death.
This Society at it's organization
numbered one hundred and sixty.
We have now on our roll one hun
dped and fifteen names. The active
working members number much
less We have lost by death'in the
ten wears of our existence twenty
three, and by removal twenty-five
making torty-five in all.

HUNGRY FOR OFrIcE.-We learn
that sixty applications for the two
clerical positions in the Auditors
office have been received by Gen.
Taft since he took possession of the
office two days ago. Some Of the
applicants couldn't ''auditD a pint
OF peanuts if they were called upon
to settle q dispute about the num-
Der it contained. Another instance
of the thirst for Government situa-
tions is found in the three thousand
applications which it is alleged have
been made for positions in the Gus
tom House since the change in the
Collectorship. Of this number, at
least two thousand nine hundred
and seventy, or thereabont, must
necessarily be disappointed.

IF WE WOULD. :

IF we would but check the speaker
When he spoils his neighbours lame,
If we. would but help the erring
Ere we utter words OF blame;
If we would, how many might we
Turn from paths of sin and shame!
Ah the wrong that might be righted .
If we would but see the way!
ALI, the pains that might be lightenee
Every hour and every day
If we would but hear the pleading,
Of the hearts that go astray.
Let us step outside the stronghold
OF our selfishness and pride;
Let US lift our fainting brothers,
Let US strengthen ere we chide;
Let US, ere we blame the fallen,
Hold light to cheer and guide. =
All, how blessed-ah, how blessed
Earth would he if we'd but try
Thus to aid and right the weaker,
Thus to check each brothers sigh;
Thus to talk of duty's pathway
To our better life on high.
In each life, however lowly,
There are seeds of mighty good; .
Still we shrink from souls appealing
With timid "If we could )"
But a God who judges oil things
Knows the truth is, IF we would"

SoUND IDEAS OF FARM1Na.The
following views on farming 80 entirely
cover the ground of successful culture
that we give them place for the ben
eft Of our readers:
|. That the area under cultivation
should be within the limits Of the
capital and labor employed; or, in
other words, that ON impoverished
soils no one should cultivate more land
than he can enrich with manure and
fertilizers, be it one acre or twenty.
g. That there should be alaw COM
pelling every man to prevent his stock
from depredating on his neighbors'
fields.
8. That green soiling is more eco:
nomical than loose pasturage.
4. That deep tillage is essential to
good farming,
5. That the muck heap is the farm
er's bank, and that everything should
be added to it that will: enlarge it,
and incre ase at the. same time it's fer
tilizing properties
6. Phat no farmer or planter should
depend upon one staple alone, but
should seek to secure himself against
serious loss in bad seasons by DIVERSE
ty of products.

A CHEERFUL. HOME. .-Of all the
blessings enjoyed by human being,
there is none better or more desir-
able than a cheerful, happy home.
It is, therefore, the first duty Of
every one to endeavor to promote
the most, amicable relations in the
home circle. A single bitter word
may disquiet an entire family for a
a whole day. One. sdrly glance
casts gloom over the household;
while a smile, like agleam Of sun
shine, may light up the darkest and
weariest hours. Like. unexpected
flowers which spring up along our
path full of freshness, fragrance
and beauty, so the kind words and
gentle eacts and sweet dispositions
make gtd the home where peace
and amity dwell. No matter how
humble the abode, if thus garnish-
ed with goodness and sweetened
with kindness efd smiles, the heart
will turn longingly toward it from
all the tumults Of the world;i and
home, though it be ever SO homely,
will be the dearest spot beneath the
circuit Of the sun.
