ceived. Danger makes him bold, how

bound, and he finds himself in

What tales of sentiment and taffy
the hammock could unfold were it possessed
of tongue. What boon to spoony man
and sentimental woman that it is but the
silent and dumb minister to their airy talk
and to their eyes, which say things not yet
framed by the tongue into words The
summers come and go, the birds build their
nests for season. hatch their young and
are off to other climeS and other scenes.

Is in turn succeeded by another but the
maid and the hammock remain, and are as
permanent fixtures as are the everlasting
hills. History repeats itself, so the scenes
enacted in that hammock repeat themselves
evening after evening. Could they and the
words often fraught with hope suppressed
be caught and delineated as in instanta-
neous photography. what treat
they would furnish the uninitiated.
A hammock is treacherOus thing to
sit in, for it has habit of landing
one in ungraceful attitudes on the ground.
But when once a seat is secured with fair
damsel at ones side, what bliss. There it
IS that the hammock proves itself friend
indeed. 1t kindly insists that no vacant
space shall exist between ones self and
companion. Nature abhOrS such vacuums,
and natures laws must be obeyed, even
should a baShful youth and modest dam
sci ind themselves in such close proximity
to each other that they can hear each
others hearts beat. What temptations
then to say unutterable things to a fair
companion; but, alas! the after effects are
worse than those of champagne Things
have been said under the Intoxicating inf1u-
ence of moonlight maid and hammock
which will not bear the scrutiny of sober
daylight. The speaker wishes he had
string on these thoughtlesS utteranceS, that
he might pull them back. Night comes
again, the alluring maid and hammock
cause one to utterly forget his former rash
ness and the check that prudence in the
morning had put on the tongue, and again
he commits himself to declarations of
very airy and unsubstantial kind.

his manipulation of the manuals and the
pedals being almost faultless. His program
was full of difficult numbers of varied
styles, and the most intricate passages were
performed with the most astonishing facil-
lty and precision, while his registration was
generally eXqusitely tasteful. He does
not affect the tender tunefulness of the
light French school, but seeks for the
grandest results combining English vigor
with German methods. In his fugue and
in the most of his selections he adopted a
remarkably rapid tempo, and maintained
it without falterng throughout.
