New York Letter.
1t is a striking lesson which the the
atrical managers have learned in the sea-
son which is just closing. Plays which
were reported to have been great successes
in London and on the continent have been
produced here, with perfect stage Access
have failed one after another so surely
that it is now apparent that 1t can no
longer be assumed that what pleases upon
be expected to please here. What are
called the purpose plays, some of which
have been written by accomplished En-
glish playwrights, have been doomed with
out exception to failure, and the shadow
of failure was upon every one of them
at the first night of representation. One
OF our managers, who is sometimes called
the Napoleon of dramatic age and
whose judgment has been thought to be
very accurate, has met with failure after
failure, and might perhaps find himself
the fact that some of the plays which he
controls which are of American workman
successes here in the season now drawing
to a close have been 'Trilby," which Is an
American dramatization: THE War of
Wealth" which is an American play by
an American author, and Tine Heart OF
Maryland" which is a drama of the civil
war, written by an American. This latter
play seems destined to make as much
manager refused because he thought no
money was in 1t, just as The Heart of
Maryland" itself was refused because it
had not received an European Endorsement.
Mr.. Cranes new play, 1.-The Governor of
kentucky must also be named among the
conspicuous successes. And 1t Is thought
likely that it could be played to crowded
houses until the warm weather comes.
The only play of foreign creation which
has done well here was THE Prisoner of
Zenda," which really has no nationality
since it is a fairy tale. The experience OF
the season is that in New York. at least.
playgoers are tired of foreign exotics. and

Though sweet the music rang.

Its perfume was a song divine,
A song like moonlight and clear air,

And whispered in my ear.

If we could know when soft replies,
And smiling lips, and tranquil eyes
Hide hearts that tremble, throb and ache,
AS silently they grieve and break,
Beneath their mask of graceful lies.
We might not deem ourselves so wise
To measure grief by tears and signs;
Some hasty judgments might not make,
But spare for hidden sorrows sake,
Our friend behind the gay disguise.
If we could know, how i'm the mines
OF tenderness the pure gold shines,
we might not feel the smarting stings
The longed-for message often brings.
From heart that round our own entwines:
We'd read. between the formal lines
And careless words, unerring signs
OF love that onward, upward springs
To meet it's W on steadfast wings,
And hold on sacred shrines-

Three sang Of love together; one with lips
Crimson, with cheeks and bosom in a glow,
Flushed to the yellow hair and finger tips;
And one there sang who soft and smooth
as snow
Bloomed like a tinted hyacinth at a show;
And one was blue with famine after love,
Who like a harpstring snapped rang harsh
and low
The burden of what those were singing OF.
One shamed herself in love; one temporarily
Grew gross in soulless love, a sluggish
wife;
One famished died for love. Thus two Of
three
Took Death for love and won him after
strife;
One droned in sweetness like a fattened
bee:.
All on the threshold, yet all short of life.

Content.

Wise men whose souls have suffered and
grown strong
With struggle, after conflict long,
Say that the heavenly love is won
BY loss of what the earthly fed upon
That such a love as mine
Is but a narrow path to the divine;
And if the soul
Would win that better goal,
Its gain must be
BY loss of what it loves so utterly.
All me, an mel
I am contented with the lower love-
i am content to stand,
Mine eyes on thine, my hand within thy
hand;
Nor hunger for a mystic recompense '
OF soul absorption beyond sight and sense.

OFFERINGS OF THE POETS,
A Spring Song.

The suns on the pavement
The current comes and goes
And the grey streets of London
They blossom like the rose.
Crowned with the spring sun
Vistas fair and fine;
What joy that waits not?
What that may not be?
The bluebells may beckon,
The cuckoos call-and yet
The grey streets of London
/ may forget.
o fair shines the gold moon
On blossom-clustered caves,
And bright blinks the gas lamp
Between the linden leaves.
And the green country meadows
Are fresh and fine to see,
But the grey streets of London
Are all the world to me.
