SINGERS OF A DAY.
Reasons Why Every Poet Is Not Recos-
nized hY Postaritv as lannon's.

Reasons w ny Every FOeC Is NOT hecOS-
nized by Postsrity as Famous.
II the Boston of sixty years ago had ven
tured to prophesy for itself literary re-
nown, it is easy to see upon what reputa-
tions of the time it would have rested its
claims. But if the most familiar names of
that time are familiar no longer, if Kettell
and poems from The United States Gazette
seem to be cemeteries of departed reputa-
tions, the fate of the singers need not be
deplored as if fame had forgotten them.
Fame never knew them. Fame does not
retain the name of every minstrel who
passes singing
But to say that fame does not know
them is not to dispraise. They sang for
the hearers of their day, as the players
played. Is it nothing to please those who
listen, because those who are out of hear
ing do not stop to applaud? If we recall
the names most prominent in our litera-
ture, whether they were destined for a
longer or shorter date, we shall see that
they are undeniably illustrations of the
survival of the fittest. Turning over the
noble volumes of Stedman and Miss Hutch
inson, in which, as on a vast plain, the
whole line of American literature is drawn
up for inspection and review, and marches
past like the ghostly midnight columns Of
NapOleOn's grand army, we cannot quar-
rel with the verdict of time, nor feel that
injustice has been done to Thamis or Cav
dor.
There are singers of day, but not less
singers because they are of day The in
sect that flashes in the sunbeam does not
survive like the elephant. The splendor of
ba
dure with the faint hue of the hills that
gives Athens its Pindaric name, and there
are singers who do not sing What says
Holmes, with eager sympathy and pity, in
one Of his most familiar and most beauti-
ful lyrics:
We count the broken Tyres that rest
Where the sweet waiting singers slumber,
But DER their silent sisters breast
The wild flowers who will stoop to number?
A few can touch the magic string,
And L@;Sy fame is proud to win them;
Alas, for those that never sing,
And die With all their music in them!
But as be says also that the capacities of
listeners at lectures differ widely, some
holding gallon, Others quart and others
only pint or Il gill, SO Of the singers who
are not voiceless, their voices differ in vol
ume. Some are organs that fill the air
with glorious and continuous music; some
are trumpets blowing a ringing peal, then
sinking into silence; some are harps of
but faint vibration; still others
are flutes and pipes, whose sweet or shrill
note has a dying fall.
Some are heard as the wind or sea Ia
heard; some like the rustic of leaves; some
like the chirp of birds. Some are heard
long and far away. Ct hers across tho fold.
others hardly across the street Fame is
perhaps but the term of longer or shorter
fight with oblivion; but it is the warrior
who drinks delight of battle with his
peers" and holds his own in the fray, who
finally commands the eye and the heart

Though severely wounded in the arm
and exposed constantly to the bullets, with
capture and death (or a worse fate) con-
stantly imminent, she moved about her
duties with the coolness of a veteran, cook
ing and serving food and ministering to
the suffering. Finally, when the desperate
retreat was made, she walked till her shoes
were worn out and then donned an army
pair, and had been ten days without hav-
ing her clothes off when the fugitives were
met by the relief party of Goorkas. At
that time Colonel Butcher, in command,
had but two cartridges left, one reserved
for the lady and another for himself in
case of capture, for with the horrible Incl
dents of the Indian mutiny of 1857 in mind
no woman would consent to be taken alive.
Queen Victoria has received Mrs. Grim
wood and decorated her with the Order of
the Royal Red Cross. The secretary of
state for India has awarded her grant of
5000 and a pension of 500 year besides
payment for the property she lost at Mani
pur. The Bengal civil service also grants
her small annuity, and it is reported that
she is to receive other decorations.

PITTsBURG, Pa. July 23.-Rev. John O.
Paxton, the famous New York Presbyte-

that the Presbyterian church was un-

The followers of DR.. Briggs were openly
defiant and the general assembly and the
church were undetermined. 1t was his
sincere hope that concessions would be
made by Princeton and that DR.. Briggs
and his followers may remain. OF course
if they insist that the church must accept
reason as coordinate with the word of
God there will be split

POTTER AND BELLEW.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 23.-The story
Sent out tnat Mrs. Potter and Kyrle Bel
lew had been married at Hong Kong is
pronounced a fake, pure and simple, by
DIR. GallOrd of the steamer BelgiC who was
given as authority by the correspondent
DR.. Gaylord says, however, that the couple
were in Hong Kong, posing as man and
wife, just as they have been doing for a
year in every country they have visited.
This statement made in a casual way
was the only foundation for the fake which
caused such sensation, No one in the
orient believed they We're married If they
had been married in Australia it is not
likely that Americans would have been
kept IN ignorance of the fact so long.

EXPLORATION OF LABRADOR.
The Work Undertaken by a Well Equipped
Scientific Party.

Labrador is now to be explored by a well
equipped scientific party from Bowdoin
college-a statement which reads oddly
enough when it is remembered that the
Cabots sailed along the coast in 1897, and
Casper de Cortereal mapped out portion
of it in 1900. Nevertheless the vast interior
has never been thoroughly explored, and
from time to time fascinating accounts
have been given of a wonderful fall, 1000
feet high, on Grand river. The Moravian
Brethren founded several missions in Lab
rador in III and subsequently and have
Christianized the Eskimos, but even they
know nothing of the upper half of the
country.
