For sunlight ali the happy day,
For blossoms radiant and rare,
For skies when daylight closes,
For Joyous, clear, outpouring song
From birds that all the green wood throng,
For an things young. and bright and fair,
We praise thee, Month of Roses,
For blue, blue skies of summer calm,
For fragrant odors breathing balm,
For quiet. cooling shades where oft
The weary head reposes,
For brooklets babbling thro' the fields
Where Earth her choicest treasures Yields,
For all things tender. sweet and soft,

this touching appeal at the conclusion
OF her Introductory song:
And now, kind friends. what have wrote

sively criticised by the press than the

1t is really cruel thus to "tromp onto"
the warnings of this gushing young
minstrel, for she says herself:
1t may seem strange to you
1t seems very strange to me sometimes.
1t was natural for me to compose
And put words in rhyme.
So, You see, she couldn't well help it.
As for ourselves, so peculiarly sweet and
touching are her songs that they remind
us of the old man whom Artemus Ward
once knew out in Iowa. He could
beat any man warbling on the bass
drum that ever l saw, and yet he didn't
have a single tooth in his head.

Editors We Read About.

We have been reading 50 That Wife of
Nine" and, unlike most readers, have
found in it a character that is-not in
teresting nor entertaining, but-for want
of better word we will say-curious.
1t is the husband of that WIFE He is an
editor-'.the kind you read about" At
the beginning of the story, which is
some distance along in the book, he oc-
cupies subordinate position on news
paper. Then he goes abroad and does
some occasional correspondence for the
paper. Then he returns and is offered
position as chief editor. This may all
seem very natural to the author of
"That Wife of Mine and to the aver
age reader; but from the newspaper
point of view it is the widest sort of fic-
ton. In the first place the young man
who holds a subordinate position does
not 90 abroad. On the contrary he
pledges his salaryin advance to his land
lady and wastes his energy il lodging
his washerwoman. But supposing that
he does 90 abroad-he is not the one
who, returning home, is called to the
chief editors chair. That responsibility
is conferred upon the other young man
who has grown somewhat old and thin
by close application to his work, and
not upon the one who has grown robust
in the easy capacity of tourist and occa-
sional correspondent. Later in the book
We find this editor in the midst of a third
editorial article of the day-the other two
lying ON his desk, cooling Now the
leading writer of a newspaper doesn't
reel of able editorials in any such
wholesale manner. He has some mod
esty about him-and consideration for
his readers. Again we find this re-
markable editor testing lightly over the
loss of a five-hundred dollar watch, and
some two or three hundred dollars in
ready cash. This is the boldest kind of
fiction. 1t is barely possible that an
editor might jest over the loss of that
amount of property; but the loss of it
implies former possession OF it-a situa-
ton which none but the most audacious
purveyor of fiction would think of en-
bodying in a story illustrative of real
life. Throughout the book We find this
editorial husband of that wife talking in
the language of scholarly leaders and
SduiDo. NHtiSsto CdItoIS
wives out OF a possible ten will reluc-
family admit that they are puzzled to
understand what there is in the atmos-
phere of an editorial room to give even
a fair degree of brilliancy to the
thoughts of one who is so conspicususly
stupid and commonplace at hsme. Per-
haps there will sometimes arise play
wright or book writer who shall
introduce in his play or in his book a
character bearing some slight resem-
blance to the fiesh-and- blood editor.
And if there does, the public will be-
hold or read about character who, in
stead of talking in loud tones, dealing
in sarcasm and wit with enviable ease,
wearing his hair on tiptoe and staring
wild at every body, will be a very COM
moRplaoe sort OF a chap whose chief
characteristic will be an evident feeling
of awkwardness at being so far away
from his desk.-WOrcester Press.

THE GRUMBLER.

HIS YOUTH.
His coat was too thick and his cap was too
thin,
He could Mt be quiet, he hated a din;
He hated to write, and he hatectto read,
He was certainly very much injured indeed;
He must study and work over books he de-
tested,
His parents were strict, and he never was
rested;
He knew he was wTetched as,wretched could
be,
There was no one so wretchedly wretched as
he.
