The Value of q Little Thing.

In little volume of lectures by Henry
Irving, just published, is story which
illustrates the actors motto, "Whilo
trlfles make perfection perfection is no
trifle." This lesson was enioined on
me when | was very young man" he
says, "by that remarkable actress,
Charlotte Cushman. l remember that
when she played Meg Merrilies was cast
for Henry Bertram. 1t was my duty to
give Meg Merrilies a piece of money,
and | did it after the traditional fashion
OF handing her large purse full of coin
OF the realm, in the shape of broken
crockery, which was generally used in
financial transactions ON the stage. But
after the play Miss Cushman said to me:
instead of giving me that purse, don't
you think it would have been much
more natural if you had taken number
OF coins from your pocket and given me
the smallest? That is the way one gives
aims to beggar, and it would have
added to the realism of the scene

Sincerity, truthfulness, conscientious

gentlewomen, wholly surprising their
minor qualities-qualities that are still
important. These often relate to man.

Kind OF virtue, and are therefore pleas.

repose, quietude, self possession. But
as many of the sex have these, and no
inward complement, they are counter.
feits speedily detected The moral ele.
ments last and stand every test.
Gentlewomen may not be measured
by common rule. They are not con.
ventional, much as they may seem so
They are thoroughly independent, a law
and a religion to themselves, an energy
tor social progress and enlightenment,
They are to be found everywhere, often.
est when unsought and unimagined
Were the sex guilty Of all the follies and
transgressions recited by misogynists
there are gentlewomen enough to absolye
them all and perpetuate their worship
among the sons of men.-Junius Henri
