EOrgoGlulnoSSs Tn the toil of the day, in the dreams of tn night,
 In the golden glow when the sun goes down, In the morning sunbeans shining bright,
 One thought like phantom follows me, And over the face of the cold, gray lea The rustling leaflets, sere and brown, Whisper story ot sad regret, And murmur softly, |" Forget forget" For the crosses that couae in this work-a-day world
 Cast shadow dark OCT the lives of all, And we sooner win that crown empearled, When we bravely bid our sorrows go, Checking the hot tears' ceaseless flow Cheering some heart that seems to tall If those who smile should frown and fret, This heart of ours could never forget. And 'tis wrong in this life, which is short at the best, To be grieving here, when there's work to do; For the soul that lives in the land of rest Is happier there than here in life.
 And knows that for us in the world,,
 great strife lis better far if the tears are few, And we know each night, when the sun has set, There is one day less that we need forget.

Only Once.

or the I5,OO0 words in Shakespeare, about 5000 of them appear only once; of words beginning with a. 354 appear only once; and with m. 3lo. Among those beginning with n that occur but once are, magical, mirthful, mirth- moving, moss grown, moon beams matin, mural. magnificence, meander, melliiuous." Some, like mechsnics, mission, maxim, magnify, malcontent, marsh, manna, maritime, metropolis, medal, metaphysics, motherwit." and score of others, are so familiar 1t seems impossible that Shakespeare should not have needed them more than once, often SO beautiful and poeticsl that one won- ders they could fail to be his favorites again and again. "Tney remind me, savs tie essayist, 'of the exquisite crystal bowl from which saw Jewess and a bridegroom drink in Prague, and which was then dashed in pieces on the floor of the synagogue. or of the Chlgi porcelain painted by Raphael. which, as soon as it had been removed from the Farnesina table, was thrown into the Tiber." His explanation is that Shakes peare's forte lay in characterizatlon,an ana that endlessly diversified.
 But when he sketched each several character it seems that he was never content till he had either found or fabri- cated the aptest words possible for rep resenting its form and pressure most true to life. No two characters being identical in any particular more than two faces are, no two descriptions, as drawn by his genius, could repeat many of the self same characteristic words Each of his vocables thus became like those of the 1000 constituents ot a loco- motive, which fits the one place 1t was ordained to fill, but everywhere else IS out of place, and ever dislocated. On every average page of Shakespeare you are greeted and gladdencd by at least five words that you never saw before in | his writings, and that you never will
 see again, speaking once and then for ever holding their peace--each not only rare, but a nonesuch-6ve gems jus,
 shown, then snatcbed away Each
 page is thus studded with five stars
 each as unique as the century-fower and, like the night blooming cereus
 is the perfume and suppliance of a min I ute" The mind of Shakespeare wa bodied forth as Monteznma was appar' allied, whose costumes, however gor
 geous, were never twice the same.-
