In the Wales.
When from these wales go,
That slumber on in dreams
Will the summer winds dance to and fro
And kiss the streams
That play where roses press their fond perfume
And lilies burst with bloems
Glad children of the spring
They moan their music sweet
Where tangled grasses wave and softly sing
Where meadows meet
And wildwood shadows dropping bless
The groves with happiness.
Their soothing songs hear
Among the granite hills
Above the eltin MARBLES rich and clear
From ripping rills,
As if they know that in the fut=ro days
Ny soul will go her wsys.
An, moaning wiads you seem
To fiji pay musing breast
WITH luliabies that Enger as dream
And bring me rest;
For melodies from your low voices creep
That soothe my heart with sleep!

THE AMERICAN ART OF ENGRAVING
How do you fix Lintons ideas of the limita-
tons OF the engraveP's arts'
'Llntons ideas of the functions and scope of
the art are mainly founded on our own Bewick,
who is looked upon by all writer's wood
craving as the founder of the art In it's modern
sense, and the provision which the admirers of
Bewick set up claims that wood engraving of
the highest point should rank as an Independent
art, with It's own special means of expression
not directly initiative of any other artistic pro-
cess. But wood engraving mas IN fact much
later history than that. In all its early opera
tions it -"as frankly art of reproduction, and
the hnesl wood cuts of the early schools were in
fact Careful copies of designs in pure line made
with special regard to existing limitations of the
wood-eutters art and also with regard to the
companlonshlp 1t was destined to enjoy with
printed text. In the later history of wood en-
craving no doubt marked kind of perfection
has been achieved by initiating processes OF
steel and copper, with good effect IN showing
that the wood engraver has splendid resources
of his own quite independent of his model, but
the fact remains that the main use and purpose
of wood engraving must always be TO reproduce
original work in another material, and | see no
sort of reason why the younger American school
should be debarred from trying to reproduce the
touch of the painters brush or the delicate tones
OF drawing in wash"
at parting we strolled into the drawing. room
where Mrs. Comyrs Carr was at work on a new
novel, and found on the walls demonstrative
evidence that Michael Angelo is Mr.. Carr's favor
tie paintsr. Over the mantle piece there was
remarkable portrait by Burne Jones of one Of
Carrs two children; here and there were photos
of Michael Angeles chief works, and many
pleasant art tokens associated with other men Of
to-day and yesterday. AT the door of the house
a four wheel cab was waiting to convey my host
and his model of the chief scene in the new
| play of Dark Days. to the Haymarket Theater,
where he presently dropped me on my way TO
