LITERARY NOTES.

Bismarck is preparing Memoirs for postum
nous publication.
DIR. William T. Harris regards Judge
SmalPs volume, The COnceps and Theories Of
Modern Physics, as the greatest book on the
subject since the days of Bacon.
Walt Whitman is preparing his prose
writings for publication; they will form a
companion volume to his poems. He is do
ing this work in what he calls his "lair"-an
old farmhouse buried in the woods of Jersey.
Admirers OF George Eliot" will be sorry
to hear that the publication of her life and
letters will be inevitably postponed by the
illness of Mr.. Cross, her widower and lite
rary executor, whose soiourn in the south Of
France has not resulted in health.
The literary executor of the late earl of
Beaconstield is arranging his earlier papers
with view to publication. The quantity is
bic number of letters of a somewhat roman
tic cast, written during his Eastern Journey
ings.
Mr.. Russell, the author of those famous
sea novels, Wreck of the Grospenor and A
Sailors Sweetheart, is an American by birth,
having made his frat appearance on the
worlds stage in a New York hotel in 1874.
His father, the composer of those famous
old songs, "a Life on the Ocean Wave"
NOOunan, spare Indl Tree, Man the
Life-boat," etc, was then on a professional
visit to this country with his family.
The Century Magazine will, in the next and
succeeding numbers, be largely occupied with
the Jewish question. In March, James
Bryce, NJ. p, the historian, writes about
Beaconsfeld and incidentally about the Jews
in general. In April, Miss Lazarus will
answer the question, "Was Lord Beacons-
field a Representative jew" In the same
number, Madame Ragozin will describe the
present situation in Russia, from Russian
point of view. A reply to Madame Ragozin,
by Jewish writer, will appear in the May
number, and other papers will appear in
which the relations between the Israelites
and christians in America will be discussed.
Mrs. Mayburn's Turns, by John Habber-
ton, author of HeLen's Babies, is in press and
will be published in few days by I. B. Pc
terson & Brothers, Philadelphia. 1t is
charming bit of work, filled to the brim with
fun, frolic, and reality, and the author will
have the thanks of every one that reads it,
for there is in 1t a sweet undercurrent OF pa
thos that lends a special charm to the whole
story, from first to last. All who like to
read about children, their mothers and the
home circle, should get and read this truly
absorbing and fascinating story. 1t is gem
Of the first water in a setting that adds vastly
to its attractiveness. Mothers and fathers
especially will find it treat of the rarest
kind, for it is a worthy companion to the re-
nowned HeLen's Babies.

An opinion OF the United States Sunreua
Court, Just published, ssftIes an impdrtant
point touching the taxation OF banks The
charter Of the Memphis Bank Of Commerce
state institution, provides that the banI
shall pay TO the State specified annual Ia
on Its capital stock, and that this shall be in
lieu Of all other taxation. The bank Ia
further empowered TO purchase and hold
real estate for the use of the institution AZ
a place Of business," and also to hold sncb
real or personal property as NAV be con-
veyed to II to secure loans. Under its
charter the bank claimed that il Wa not
liable TO taxation either On the bnild;ng
which It owned and used in part for liz bu.i-
ness, or on certain other real estate which
mad come into its possession by way of
security Tor unpaid loans. The Supreme
court holds that the exemption to which the
bank Is entitled does not extend beyond he
property actually used by it in its busine-s

lyTso. The market opened 4@sc higher, de-

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
"MOther Love-

To the Editors of the Appeal:
During the sermon last Sunday morning
by the Rev. n. NJ. Long, he very beautifully
portrayed the mothers love for her child. 1t
was indeed fine piece of oratory, well wor-
thy the subject, and while listening to the
words which fell upon my ear, like the hall
forgotten music in dream, memory carried
me back TO the days of childhood, when
mothers hand guided my wayward steps and
her gentle voice prayed for my safety. Even
when our hairs are gray, and the heart is
chilled by disappointment, we revert to her
in many a lonely hour. 1t returns as fresh
as the flowers and songs of spring The
sweet name of mother-there is music in the
very word-it is the keynote to the hearts
melodies, dear to us alike in age as in youth.
Time may loosen, absence weaken, but they
can never break the tie. Thou often, even
when the grave has closed over a mothers
remains with word, look, recall the pa
tient tenderness Of that loved being. The
name of mother claims from the world re-
spect, and from her children honor.
Back through the lapse of lonely years,
OF sun and shade and burning tears,
l seem to hear
My mothers voice, soft, sweet and low
NV mothers voice-Oh, well / know
Its cadence dear.
Trusting I'll wait while life lasts here,
Till in that grand, immortal sphere,
Where sorrows cease,
We meet, and on that loving breast
Ny weary heart shall be at rest
In perfect peace. -

lass rays Of the setting sun were falling with
q mellow radiance beyond compare, fell uTon
the ears of Pericles Hetherington like the
blessing OF the cassocked man OF God to one
who, after life of sin, lies upon bed OF
death. Pericles paused and looked back.

The sun-glints fell with hectic flush upon
his cream-colored pants From neighbOr-
ing pond came the deep croakins Of the frogs.
Soft-eyed cows were coming slowly up from
the grassy meadows beyond the hill, where
the butterc1p blossomed in all its golden
glory and the daisy laid its white face to the
earth. A brindle dog, with heavy, sensuous
jaws, came out OF the corn and caught Per-
icles by the rear of his pants.
Myrtle Redingote saw the animals action.
"Great heavens" she cried, "Pericles will be
unable to sit down for a week. How can |
live without sitting on his knee once in a
while?"-and with low sob of pain she
went into the parlor and began eating candy.

PROGRAMME

The novelty of these ceremonies attracted,
very naturally, large number of people
The choir of seven well-trained voices, under
the leadership of Prof. Winkler, rendered
each selection with fervor and eelat DR.. Sam
field was at his best, his voice being as clear
and distinct as a silver chime. A soothing
hush fell upon the assembly at the first chant
in the grand old Hebrew tongue. 1t was
Something decidedly new in this city. The
delivery OF the key of the temple by Miss
lille felseE'hal into the hands OF the presi-
dent OF the congregation, Emil Tamm, and
his feeling acceptance, in which he thanked
his Gentle friends for their liberal donations
to the synagogue fund, was nee, little side
ceremony. The president then gave IN in
teresting nutshell history Of the Adas Israel,
which was very appropriate at that juncture
indeed But the procession round the mid
die section OF pews, headed by the rabbi bear
ing aloft the safls, their deposit in the Torch,
the air filled with the lights OF chandeliers
and czndelabra, the perfume of flowers
on the tripods at either side of the altar, and
the rich, solemn music, all formed a scene
that will for a lifetime haunt the memory
and linger on the ear. And then the deliv-
cry of Solomon's prayer was such a clever
bit of declam alton, and 80 impressive withal.
Upon the conservation sermon ] have not

ROBERT EMMETT.

To-day is the anniversary of the birth OF
Robert Emmett, one of the noblest martyrs
that ever gave life for righteous cause
Thousands of hearts will bleed to-day in con-
templating the cruel fate of this brilliant
young hero. The Irish people in every pant
OF the civilized world will to-day repeat the
sad refrain:
oh! breathe his name, let it sleep in the shade
Where cold and unhonored his relics are bald;
sad, silent, and dark be the tears that shed,
As the night dew that falls ON the grass DER his
head.
p9s tIle Hgnt dew That iaIIs though in silence it
Shall brighten with verdure the grave where no
sleeps;
And the tear that we she'd though in secret rolls
Shall long keep his memory green IN our souls.
Robert Emmett was born in the city of
Dublin, on the 9TH of March, 177S. His
father was a distinguished physician, his
mother descendant of the great Sir Will
liam Temple. This union was blessed with
three sons and one daughter. The oldest
son, Temple Emmett, was one of the most
distinguished advocates of his day at the
Irish bar. The second son, Thomas Adds
Emmett, was involved in the revolution of
1898. But after the treaty of Amiens he was
allowed to withdraw to France. In 1904 he
migrated to America, where he became
distinguished member of the New York bar,
and finally encouragement of that State.
Robert, the youngest OF the sons by many
years, was educated at Trinity College, Dub
lin, where he soon became conspicuous for
his great talents and lofty character. While
a member of the Historical Society of the
University he first displayed his great
powers as an orator, in famous de-
bate upon the freedom of nations. His
bold expression of republican prin-
ciples, together with an eloquent tribute
which he paid to the name of Washington,
brought him into bad odor with the faculty,
and he was finally expelled from the uni
versity in 1898 upon the ground that he was
a member of the order of United lrishmen.
The dreadful results of the revolution OF
1898, by which his beloved land was turned
into slaughterhouse by her cruel con-
4uerers, and by which the last echo OF lib
erty silenced, sunk deep into the heart
oil the young patriot, who resolved to strike
one last desperate blow for the liberation of
ms country and his race. His plan was to
devise an insurrection by which all of the
Htrongholds of the English in Dublin were
10 be suddenly overpowered, and then, hay
ing seized the capital, to arouse the whole
IRISH race to one desperate stroke for poIiti-
cal Independence from England, under the
government OF a republic. His attempt

Blaine and Clay.


The brief and delicate but incisive refer
to the Garfield Conkling controversy, and the
equally brief paragraph making Clay Douglas and
tons panorama of greatness, are the vital points
of the whole Grafton. They are the marrow around
which the bone, muscle, flesh and spirit of the ad
dress are fashioned and they are presented with
equal sagacity, dignity and elegance. The refer
enee TO Clay the victor over Tyler, to Douglas
the victor over Buchanan and to Stevens the
victor over Lincoln is the inspiration of tn e
speech that takes the future in its scope 1t means
other to the trio of supreme individual mastery
over place and power. 1t is the clear intimatiOn
will be told in the hereafter that Clay
pushed Tyler, as Douglas vanquished Buchanan,
and as stevens vanquished Lincoln, leaders of
the people, Blaine has also vanquished Arthur.
Such q lesson from history might have been acct
dental with any other than Blaine; with Blaine
there accidents in the Grafton that is pass
into history as his masterpiece Philadelphia
Times.
II Mr. Blaine has any idea of initiating
the example of Mr.. Clay, and of entering
upon a contest with President Arthur, as
Mr.. Clay contested with President Tyler in
1874, had he not better assure himself more
satisfactorily of the result of Mr.. Clay's
famous controversy? Does he not know that
Mr.. Tyler crushed forever his hideous
scheme Of one great, independent national
bank intended TO head" and "drive" him,
and hurled his arch-enemy headlong from
the Senate the succeeding March, bewailing
the abortive issue of his abortive schemes?
And to make Mr.. Tyler's triumph the more
complete to his apprehension, does he not
know that at the next succeeding election
Mr.. Tyler, in forcing the Democrats to over
throw Mr. Van Buren,, who had led the loco
focos in 1910, and in compelling the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Polk on the presidents own plat
form of Texas now or never" not only
triumphed beyond any president before or
since, but in turning the whole flood upon
the head of Mr.. Clay, the candidate of the
opposing party, made him fall, like Lucifer,
"never to rise again"-certainly not as the
presidential nominee of any party. Let Mr..
Blaine take warning. He has not half the
ability of Mr.. Clay, and If Mr.. Arthur dis
PLAYS half the moral and mental force OF
Mr.. Tyler, the issue would doubtless be I'M
satisfactory to him. HISTORY.

ASIRAY.


I travelled a forbidden road,
Which first appeared 50 fOweTy fair
hat onward eagerly I strobe
Til-to my horror and despair
All buds and blossoms blooming there,
All tender bOughs and twigs of green
Stood changed to burrs ana netfles keen.
Whose angry points my garments tore.
And pricked my hands till they were sore.
Bewiidered at the wondrous change;
That should have warned me from the place
] kept my course with swifter pace
And saw a marvel still more strange:
For cruel hints sprang through the ground
To meet my feet at every bound;
With cash on cash they made them bleed,
Then time il was that I should heed
Just at the moment OF my need
A shining man stood at my side
Whose luster fell on all around,
And spread glory far and wide.
And who art thou" / trembling cried,
'Giye ear" he said, ''to what ! say;
I am the guide of all that stray,
To poiut them back 10 virtues path,
The guardian OF thy erring way;
And step by step-in love, not wrath
These angry hints and briars / strew,
To warn thy feet from wandering so''
I knelt and kissed his garments hem,
And cried: oh, angel sent from heavcni
Make sharper yet each thorny stem
Increase the fiints to seven times seven,
will endure and not complaint
Turned back from my forbidden course
But, oh, how many weary hours
! travelled ere those blighted bowers
Rebloomed with all their former flowers.
