An Organist's Wonderful Feat.

We have already mentioned that the of.
flee of master of the music in ordinary to
the queen, vacant by the resignation of Sir
w. Cusins, had been offered to Sir Walter
Parratt. The new masters duties will in
clude the direction Of the private band and
the care of the royal library at Bucking
ham palace, but various musicians will
from time to time bespecially appointed to
conduct the state concerts. Sir Walter
Parratt, who is 81 years of age and is ma
tive of Understood. has all his life been
church organst, and indeed it is said that
he first conducted church service when he
was only years old. In 1882 he was trans
ferred from Magdalen college, Oxford, to
succeed the veteran Sir George Elvey as
organist at st. Georges chapel, Windsor,
and last year he was knighted. He is an
admirable musician and a remarkable
chess player, and he is indeed credited with
the feat of playing three games of chess
blindfolded while simultaneously playing
Bach's fugues on the organ.-London Tel

And since he's been as safe nag as man would

Then in my happy counting days he knew the
very night
That | would swing the stable door and greet
him with delight.
He knew the girl loved was waiting far away

He seemed to say, twill not be long before

Then on my wedding day he stood with others

No doubt he thought for just that once left
him in the lurch.
One face, one form, that day of days, was all

And when the years had brought their grief

He drew the little ones and behind the

But since he has not been the same: know

Dobbin has been near.
No wonder that he looks go old when l have

This glittering sword, this same bright blade,

And the hilt is ablaze with jewels gay.

And then for years. tradition sings,

Which bound us to England across the seas

1t fought for the thirteen colonies,
And then in proud salute was borne
When Washington was our president.

In the land where men are equal and free
Forever-but wait, now, faint as a dream.

And Of sorrows driving rain,

We have erred in that dark hour
We have known,
When the tears fell with the shower
All alone
Were not shine and shower blent
As the gracious Master meant?
Let us temper our content
With his own.
For, we know, not every morrow
Can be sad;
So, forgetting all the sorrow
We have had,
Let us fold away our fears
And put by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming years
Just be glad.
