great degree. Consequently, when l set
out to produce play" he says, don't
go hunting for people who possess the re-
quisite versatility for the purpose, but |
simply hire those who can't help moving,
speaking and looking in the desired man
ner. There is no risk in that policy.

rHE LESSON OF THE LEAVES.


Sweet buds look through the haze which dims
The silent trees, which listen where
A forest lifts its battered limbs.
like armies standing still in prayer.
How soon the songs of wild-bird hymns
VIII wake the wood flowers sleeping there
The trees are teachers that love;
Their leaty lesson have read,
Their branches point TO worlds above,
Their roots point TO the world that's dead
Spring, hasten with thy cooling dove
And bow of promise overhead
Here, root clasps root throughout the wood,
And branches fellow branch embrace
As hand Joins hand in brotherhood.
When trusting friends meet face to face
In worship with the multitude
Invoking precious gifts of grace.
O solemn thought the woods so lorn
In winter, and in spring so fair,
Hold il their trunks for the unborn
Cities and ships and Collins there;
Soon the brown branches, tempest toru
VIII wave green banners in the air.
Low bushes, whose soft bark is scared,
Hold their red rosaries of beads,
The thistle with its head upreared.
Like genius bearing noble deeds,
Though coarsely CLAD and rough its beard,
VIII send afar its winged seeds.
Arise sweet-scented violet
Come, orchis, with thy lips Of red
Spring beauty, come thy coyerlet
OF snow is lifted from thy head;
The bluebird sounds his fiageolet,
The robins flute pipes overhead
&c. w, Bungay.

THE INFLUENCE OF SONG.

Recently Prof Blackie lectured on
Song in the Literary Institute, Edin-
burgh, before crowded audience. The
Professor said that the strongest point of
Scottish nationality was the church close
" connected with that was the school: but
the most full OF inspiration was the nation
al song. He looked upon song with Plato
as a great moral power and a great educa-
tional power. Song, in fact, was the great
est perfection of the human soul. Prose
was a heavy quadruped; song winged
bird. Prose they might compare to a use
full canal; song to a pickering mountain
stream. A man could speak prose at any
time; he could read it at any time-there
was nothing more stupid than reading
book He could write a piece of good
prose when he could not write song. lie
could only write song when his whole
soul was overlooking with joy and he was
clapping the wings of his vitality. Popu-
lar song had virtue of its own, and they
must distinguish carefully betwixt the
popular song, which was the atmos-
phere and the moral breach of the nation
and the literary song, which was the ex-
preston of an individual genius which
! might become national, but not necessar-
! lily. Popular poetry was full of practical
! wisdom; it was a part of the life OF the

VIOLIN vARNIsHEs.

We do not say that amber entered into
all the Cremonese varnish, nor are we pre-
pared TO admit that the excellence of that
varnish depended upon the presence of
that costly fossil gum. We suspect that
the fddlcmakers bought their varnish, as
they bought their wood, in the open mar
ket, selecting it, no doubt, with equal care,
perhaps modifying it in various ways be
fore application; and, further, that the
varnish on those old violins will be found
almost identical with the varnish OF the
old Italian pictures. Painter and fiddle
maker probably went to the same shop
any one could get the stuff then (the bad,
cheap Cremonas have it as well as the good
onesl. As long as the art of Italian paint
ing was at all alive. 50 long there was de-
mand for particularly good varnish: When
it declined at the end of the eighteenth
century the manufacture of the precious
varnish went out Anything cheap in the
varnish line was thought good enough and
| pictures and fiddles alike, along with their
glossy coats, became good for nothing

THE BEST GIFT OF ALL.

One-and-twenty, one-and-twenty,
Youth and beauty, lovers plenty
Health and riches, ease and leisure,
Work to give zest 10 pleasure.
What can maid so lucky lack?
What can I wish that fate holds back?
Youth will fade and beauty wanes:
Lovers, houted, break their chains.
Health may fail and wealth may iy you,
Pleasure cease to satisfy you;
Almost everything that brings
Happiness is born with wings.
This wish you this is best
Love that can endure the test
Love surviving youth and beauty
Love that blends with ilonely duty,
Love that's gentle love that's true.
Love that's constant wish you.
Still uIlsatisfed she lives
Who for gold mere silver gives.
One more JOY wish you yet,
To give as much joy a. you get,
Grant you, Heaven, this TO do,
To love him best who best loves you.

KEEPING Up THE INTEREST.

How on earth can you bear TO go
through with the role of Fanchon?" I
asked Maggie Mitchell at the Grand Opera
House, az after performing it-well, how
many times?"
We stopped putting the figures on the
bill good many years ago." she laugh
ipgly replied. They might set people TO
ciphering on the problem of my age, don't
you see? Seriously, though, | am often
asked how manage to play the part at all
| or at least with the slightest expression of
any sembance of spontanety, after it has
grown so trite to nue.. The answer is that
the audience is always an Indictment. The
knowledge that they are interested serves
to interest me. If ! discern anything like
apathy on their part know that am get
ting careless, and l at once put more vim
into my work. If they laugh heartily when
| | ought to be funny, and are perfectly 81
lent during my pathetic passages, then
feel that am up to my average-that, no
matter how much l might otherwise be
bored am not boring the auditors. No
| body without the experience can realize
how susceptible to the temper of the house
is the actor We are at once aware Of our
success or failure in entertaining an assem-
