Walter Raleigh wrote reply TO this poem.


The dramatist came to an untimely end,
falling victim to the most torturing passion
Of the human breast-jeal0usy; for, being
deeply in love with a girl of low station, he
found himself rivaled by fellow in livery,
who, as Wood informs US, had more the ap
pearance of a iow-caste blaekguard than a
man formed for the tender and generous pas
sions of love. Marlowe, finding the fellow
with his mistress, and having some reasons
to suspect that she granted him favors, drew
his dagger, a weapon at that time univer-
sally worn, ana rushed on him to stab him.
But the footman, being nimble. warded off
the impending stroke, and, seizing hold Of
Marlowes wrist, turned the fatal point and
plunged the puniard into its masters head,
Of which wound, notwithstanding all posi-
BILE care being taken of him, he died soon
after, i'll the year 1898.

Monday, August 18th. This piece had its
premier last September in Cleveland, OHIO,
with the author and his brother, Joseph S.,
in the leading roles 1t is founded upon in
cidents CT the late war, but the author has
utilized the dramatic side and has entirely
ignored the political bearing. Tom Hewins,
the hero and manstay of the family, is
drafted. and his brother Jim goes as his
substitute. Willard Hilton, the rejected
sutton OF Toms wife, brings false news of
Jim's desertiOn, which nearly erazes Dad
Hewlns, the father, and sends Tom to the
front Then comes news OF Toms DEATH
and when two years are supposed to have
elapsed Toms wife consents to marry Will

THE LESSONS OF THE SEASONS.


AS, year by year, the gracious seasons bring
The birds, the flowers, the harvest and
the snow,
And round the earth in changeless courses
flow
The currents of the year, from spring to
spring;
AS there are songs for every heart to sing,
Whether the south wind or the north
wind blow;
As winter roses in the maids cheeks
glow,
And the dull chrysalis at last takes wing;
So may we find in life's swift-changing
year,
In youth, in manhood and in waning age,
Some Joy to cheer, some comfort to as

Some hope to make our skies still bright
and clear
Life is too sweet to spend in vain regret
Have we not summer, autumn, winter yeti

Total. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 40
1t must mean much toll and priva-
ton for workmen getting such wages
to save up enough money to begin
manufacturing even on a very small
scale. but the great potteries of to-day
were the small ones OF not so many
years ago. and even now adventurous
workmen begin for themselves small
potteries in competition with the larger
ones.
These small potterles. Mr.. Copes-
take tells me, are especially numerous
at Longton. A workman. or perhaps
pair of thom working in partner
ship, will knock out the partition be-
tween a couple of houses and start
pottery. which will, if successful. grow
bigger by degrees. and eventually may
turn out an establishment of some
size.
There are not many industries
which can be pro6tably conducted on
so small scale, and even in the pot
teries should fancy it is only the ex-
ceptional workman earning tue high
est wages who is able to set up for
himself.
There is an almost total absence OF
articles of luxury and aesthetic adorn-
ment in the potters homes. Taken
in connection with this, the shop win
dows tell significant story. After the
universal blackness there is nothing
which so forcibly impresses an Ameri-
can as the dearth along the shopping

CHAPTER XXX.
WHAT SHE LOOKED BACK UPON.

WuAI SHE l.OOhED DAWN OION
As the story of Beatrice's past is made
up of things she knew, things she guessed
and things of which she knew nothing,
it will be better to learn it in its veracious
entirety than to CLEAN it from the saddened
musings of that winters afternoon.
After the battle royal between Lady
Clauson and her step-daughter, and when
Sir Maingay weakly and for the sake OF
pea,e left his daughter at home, whilst he
fled to the continent, with that newly
acquired treasure, his beautiful wife,
Beatrice settled down TO the dullest OF
dull lives, or what certainly promised to
be so unless the girl could brighten 1t by
drawing ON her own resources for amuse-
ment. On one point, however, she had
nothing to complain of. A childless Wild
ow with large income could not have
enjoyed more freedom of action. Mrs.
Ersklne, the aunt in whose care she was
nominally placed, was old, wrapped up In
her own varied ailments, and so selfish as
10 keep herself clear of suspecting people,
because suspicion brought trouble and
worry. Beatrice was free to spend
her hours as it best suited her; to come
and 90 as she chose, and generally do
what pleased herself.

when she left the fashionable finishing

Being also rather troubled by the feel
ing that she ought to do something 10
suffering humanity, she organized littl

pocket-money. Sir Maingay, who since
old Talbert's death had received consider

for his daughter maintenance and educa
