HER FIRST APPEARANCE.

Mary Anderson de Navarro in her stage
career memoirs, which will be published
in the Ladies Home Journal (the opening
chapters in the December issue), gives the
public a most interesting and entertain
ing view of the trials and hardships she
successfully combated in following out
her conviction that the stage presented
to her the opportunity for a splendid
career. She ultantlyrelers to her debut
in Louisville, Kentucky, on Saturday
evening, November 81, 1875, upon which
occasion the tall, shy and awkward"
girl of sixteen interpreted Shakespeare's
love.lorn 'Juliet.' The performance was
arranged upon two days notce-tme
for but a single rehearsal-and the aspir-
ing Kentucky girl was jubiant when the
theatre and a stock company were Of

was not unclouded, for of the event she
writes with touching pathos: That

piest days Of all my lie, filled as it was
with the brightest hone and anticipation.
Only one black cloud hung over it, the
thought of Monte and my grandparents,
who were all very dear to me. Had

shadow over all the otherwise bright

The Story of Brook Farm.

Brook Farm is place of mysteries, with all it's sunny meadows, bowery hills and happy birds, writes Hezekiah Butterworth in Ladies' Home Journal, in sketch of the place made famous by Hawthorne, Alcott, Curtis, Dana and Ripley. There is no mystery perhaps in the psychic life of America greater than how so many young enthusiasts of like heart, mind and faith should have found themselves here 50 or more years ago. They were all, apparently, disciples of Immanuel Kant, all Fourierites, all social reformers. They were all destined to become famous. They were the elect of life, but at that time they knew it not They were for the most part poor. Professor George Ripley, who was content to be poor if he could do good in the world, was the leader of these gen. tie philosophers. He did good and be- came rich George William Curtis was there; Charles A Dana, now editor of the New York Sun; Brownson, who be- came editor of The Catholic Review {; Dwight, who did much for music in America in Dwight's Journal of Music. Bronson Alcott made his social experi- ment at Fruitlands, but, like Emerson, was in touch with Brook Farm Many of the afterward philanthropists of Boston were there, of whom but few now re- ,poiY

While, my friends, we do admit there is such thing as the lawful use of money "a profitable use of money-let us rec ognize also the fact that money cannot satisfy mans soul; that it cannot gilt ter in the dark valley; that it cannot pay our fare across tho Jordan of death that it cannot unlock the gate of heav- en. There are men in all occupations who seem to act as though they thought that a pack of bonds and mortgages could be traded off for title to heaven and as though gold would be a lawful tender in that place where it is so com mon that they make pavements out of it. Salvation by Christ is the only salvation. Treasures in heaven are the only incor- ruptible treasures.
