YOUR Woodworking.

You take from your pocket the
bainty casket," writes M. G. Nc
Clelland, in the February New
Peterson, land, with the shining
circlet in your fingers, fall a-dream-
Ing of the things to be. In the
sanctuary of your heart, vows are
registered-vows of honor, of truth,
of tenderness. The ring finds its
way to your lips shyly, reverently,
as a thing still subtly aloof while
belonging to you, and you bend
your head and instinctively invoke
blessings on the new life, and for
mulate an inarticulate prayer that
God will help you to worthiness OF
the pure hand so soon to wear your
wedding-ring.
Love holds before you fairy mir,
ror, in which the morrow scene de,
picts itself. You see the dear form in
snowy garments, enveloped in lace,
moving softly beside you up the
aisle. The beautiful hair is crown,
ed with orange flowers, and the
beautiful eyes meet yours with ten,
derness in their clear depths. A smile
like April sunshine plays family
about the sweet lips, and the hand
on your arm trembles little. The
organ peals with joyous movement
for space, during which you find
yourself before the altar; then it
ceases, and a priest repeats, with
solemnity fitting the ceremony, the
strong comprehensive words which
bind two lives together for veal or
woe till death shall part them.
"Then, if you be true man, upon
you comes swiftly the realization OF
responsibility and a sense of power
over human happiness, to make or
mar it, and you gasp a little and
shrink, then square your shoulders
bravely with prayer in your heart,
and in your yes the sunrise of a
nobler, fuller day. And beside you
stands the wonderful white-robed
creature which is apart from you,
and a miracle begins to unfold; for
she is your wife, and upon the third
finger of her left hand CLEANS you
golden wedding-ring.

THE EVOLUTION OF COMIC OPERA.

"The great popularity of comic
opera in this country has benn
deprecated by certain playwrights,
lovers of the drama, and others, as
indicating a decadence of popular
taste and morals" writes Edward
Stephens, in the February New
Peterson. "A retrospective glance
at the dramatic history of the last
quarter of century shows, on the
contrary, that there has been con-
slant trend toward refinement and
improvement in those qualities. When
French opera-bouffe had its vogue
here, such a change might fairly
have been made; for there were OBJ.
jectionable features in many of the
French operas. Their plots were
not always of the kind taught in
Sunday. schools, and their amusing
lines would not invariably bear lit
eral translation nor indeed did
many of their situations bear re-
production on the American or Eng
fish stage.
AS time wore on, these com po-
sitions lost favor. The demand for
chmic opera has increased year by
year; but with it have been exacted
