gro; 4, Finale-Allegro
Alter Gade's wcknown symphony had been dis
posed of Herr Speigler sung aria from 'The Gre
aton," which, though mon0tonous and very dull,
considering that the audience had been enter
tanned at length in q somewhat similar strain be-
fore, was interpreted with remarkable correctness
and skill. Herr spegers nne basso voice
had at times a fair opportunity for the display
OF some or its best qualities, but his success
would have been emphatic had his share In the per-
formance been more appropriate. 1t is to be re-
gretted, moreover, that Mr.. Bergner's exquisite
performance was confined to Bangiel's sombre
composition. In the hands of many distinguished
artists it would have fallen nat on the audience
but Bergner was equal to the occasion and
well won the applause that rewarded his
mastery effort. Matzka's overture, "Galilei,'s
was listened to with some curiosity aad
created an agreeable surprise. II was marked BY
no little originality, the subject being admirably
wrought out, and the Instrumentation in some
parts worthy OF high commendation. The sharp
and joyful clang OF the cymbas, however, was out
OF place in such serious subject ana the substs>
tuition OF the gong might perhaps tend te Improve
the eject The composition showed evidence of
study and well conceived ideas harmonously de-
veloped and well received. Mr.. Carl
Bergman swayed his baton in bis usual mastery
style, and to his careulncss ana precision may be
attributed large part of the success which in
general way marked the concert. Beethoven's

what Beeeher Think. OF Death.

/ have known morbid people to specu-
late as to how they were going to look
in their collins. / have known grown
people who were full of imagination
about the grave. Death is not only
heathenish, but bsrbarous in their
thought.
never think of dying except with
pleasure, as Iwonld of translation. To
me the mere passing through is nothi ng;
it may be, little longer or a little
shorter. / have always hoped it would
be very short. / may horrify some peo-
pie by saying it. but l pray God will
give me sudden and instantaneous
death. / would rather die by being
struck by lightning than die with con-
sumption. If it be Gods will that !
should become old and tot.ling, and
grow feebler and feehler before die,
am willing that it should be so; but if /
were left to my choice should like to
break off short and die strong man, in
the middle of battle; but that is for God
to decide, and not for me.
Dying, to me, is not all the humilia-
ton of the body. 1t is the exaltatien Of
the spirit. II is the emergence of the
soul from this outward form. 1t is our
development out of this sphere into
higher one. 1t is not the nshering Of
men into state Of weakness and gloom.
1t is the Inauguration of a condition of
power and joy. 1t is the moving Of the
soul n the direction Of amplitude and
glory. 1t is the endowing Of the soul
with the riches of immortal life in It's
highest forms and in its greatest beneh-
cenees.
do net know that a nightingale sit
ting in the twilight and singing with all
its little soul, has the least idea that the
whole neighborhood is charmed with its
song; but can conceive that q soul may
be in such blessed state Of experience
that it may, like the nightingale, charm
the wide circles in Heaven with inspir-
ing music.

I The following story is told in the inns
of court: The late Chief Justice Maule
had brought before him a poor sailor
cha rged with bigamy. The sailor pleaded
guilty, and, on being asked if he had
ANYTHING to say why the usual sentence
should not be passed, said; May it
please your lordship, my wife ran away
with another man, and left me with a
family of children whom my duties as a
British sailor hardly enabled me to take
care of without another wife. What
ought | to have doneT Prisoner" "
said his lordship, sternly, I" will tell
You what you ought to have done; you
ought to have employed posse of po-
lice to pursue that eloping wife, and to
have established case of Grim. con.
against her; you ought then to have gone
M to the House of Lords and secured
from their lordships divorce and then
married again. You may say such a
proceeding would have cost you five or
six hundred pounds, whereas yeu have
not so many pence; but, sir, that makes
no difference. 1t is my business, sitting
here as an English judge, to inform you
that this is not a country where there is
one law for the rich and another for the
Door" The story represents bit OF the
IRONY under which the costly machinery
of the lords court in such cases made

The morbid craving for sensationalism
has displayed itself in Louisville by the
fashion of midnight funerals. 1t was a
favorite custom among the English aris-
tocracy in times past, for the interment
Of distinguished members to take place
at midnight, when the solemnity of the
hour added to the impressiveness Of the
ceremony. 1t was, however, but a shall
low artifce, and while the senses might
be impressed by the outward symbols of
grief the judgment remained untouched
By such emotional displays.
