ACTORS SOCIAL POSITION.

was OufcASt--hf-
fused Spiritual Consolation.
The time was in France when the actor
had no social position and certainly no
spiritual one. Special dispensation
was necessary when the Catholic
church allowed a mass to be said for the
repose of an actors soul. Prof. War
rem, describing the Moiere period
writes:
"1he social position of an actor in
Moliere's time was a low one. Not
from any prejudice against the stage,
evidently, since the dramatists like
Corneille and Scarron were on the same
footing at the Hotel de Rambouillet and
ether salons of Paris as poets and es-
sayists and were elected to the French
Academy as readily. Indeed, it would
seem as though the composition OF
plays was the shortest road to distinc-
ton in the Paris of Moliere, as it is to-
day.
"But with the actors II was another
question. Their wandering, unset
tied modes of life had evidently told
against them. They were not admit
ted to society whether their conduct
was good or bad. They were not even
considered in the light of literary per-
sons. Moliere met his friends, Boileau,
la Fontaine. Furetiere ct public cafes.
As a writer of comedy hewas either not
taken seriously or had incurred too
much hostility on the part of influential
sets, the clergy through 'Tartuffe, the
salons through Les Femmes Savantcs.'
AS an actor he was considered an out
cast with his class, and when on his
deathbed he asked for spiritual con
ISOLATION his appeal fell on deaf ears un-
til it was too late. So that il was with
the greatest difficulty that his widow
procured a bit of consecrated ground
in which to lay the remains of the un-
shriyed comedian. "-Chautauquan.

lie had just returned from a lonely
smoke in the library, and, somewhat
soothed, WIS returning to join the
others, who were gathering about the
big fireplace in what good Mrs. War
rem designated as the "sittin'-room," to
observe that tine-honofed custom of
watching the Old Year out and the New
Year in. He told himself, sentimental
Y, that he would quietly take seat at
Madge's side, gain surrcftitious posses

But Madge was not in the group

Martindale rose quietly and made his

recognized the figure of Martindale.
Bat the latter did not see nor hear the
eayesdropper. He was busy kissing the
willing lips of some one in feminine at
tire whose face could not be seen, but
whose dress and figure, in the dim
light, looked only too familiar to poor
Braden. Utterly crushed, the latter
turned silently and FASTENED up to his

"Where's WHIP" some one asked, sud-
denly, when New Years greetings had
been exchanged and the merriment had

! know n little temple,
Its walls are dim and low
Yet up and down Its darkened aisles
The blessed angels go.
And he who keeps the temple
Should pray to God tonight,
That Faith may light the altar flame,
And Hope may keep 1t bright:
That love may bring the sacrifice
Which Love delights to give,
And all the angels innocent
May tarry there to live.
And may no evil spirit
Have in II place or part.
What Is this temple beautiful
