Pure Coradx.

Mr.. Wilfred Clarke does not believe
that public taste has degenorated to
any great extent during the reign of so
called farce comedies with their clown
ishness and horseplay, and his success,
during the past three years, in present
ing comedies Of the pure type, has
proved that he is right, and that tho
public is always willing to pay for the
privilege OF witnessing such comedies
when interpreted by capable actors.
Mr. Clarke himself scarcely needs any
mention in the connection, as he has
become such prominent figure in the
theatrical world that most people know
him to be comedian OF unusual merit.
His play, "Tit for-Tat," owes it's success
TO those qualities, which have made
Jane" DR.. Bill" "a Texas Steer"
etc =. 80 descrvedly popular, and one
may laugh and enjoy it without the fear
of being shocked by that coarseness
which so often passes for wit. Mr.
Clarke deserves credit, not only for his
artistic acting, butalso for giving to the
public such charming comedy as Tit
fOr-Tat"

Character as n Whole.

Narrow criticism will give place to gen.

thoughts from the single faults which we
are so swift to condemn to the whole char
acter, of which we know so little Many
a reproach might be changed to approval,
many feeling of scorn might be changed
to respect, many foe might be changed
into friend, did this practice of rising
from part TO the whole become habit
of the mind. To cultivate this power is
one of the most efficient and valuable
branches of self culture. New York Led

MOTHERS HANDS.

Oh, loving hands so glad to greet
And warmly clasp my own,
Your welcome no more shall meet E.
While limo and are known.
Oh, tender hands, whose magic touch
Could sootho the keenest pain,
Earth holds for mo no solace such,
Nor ever will again.
Oh, helpful hands so prompt to cheer
And Danish trouble far,
You made for us our heaven here,
But now tits where you are.
Oh, open hands so free to share;
Oh, weary hands at rest,
Now folded in eternal prayer
Upon tho peaceful breast.

before the savages, whose scalp knives were
dripping with blood. The old fort over the
