Kipd1z John ozsnford,s couEh.

Clement Scott recalls pathetic story
of the declining days of John Oxenford,
for years the leading theatrical critic OF
London Mr.. Oxenford was troubled
with serious bronchial affection, which
occasionally disturbed the audience, for
he refused to give up his beloved thea
ter, although desperately i'll A certain
rising young actor, who shall be name
less, though he has recently been in
England after q brilliant career, was
very anxious TO obtain Oxenford's valu-
able opinion ON his work, and the tender
hearted old gentleman literally left his
bed and came down to the theater ON a
bitter cold night to do q good action to
a clever youngster. In the middle of ono
of the actors finest scenes on came the
cough from the Oxenford box. II con-
tinued so long that it unnerved the ac-
tor, and he came to dead stop. To the
surprise of everybody, he advanced to
the front and said, Ladies' and gentle
men, am sorry to say that unless the
old gentleman with the irritating cough
retires temporarily from the theater l
really cannot go on. forget every
thing 1t is painful so to address you,
but I am powerless in the matter. and
place myself in your hands.
The disturbance at once ceased, and
the box was empty. When the curtain
fell, friend rushed round, and, breath
less, said to the distressed actor: Do
you know what you have done? Do you
know who it was that you turned out Of
the box?'' 'rI neither know nor care, -
was the reply. "Why, it was John Ok

he got his good notice all the same. The
veteran critic went home coughing 70

MAKING A SONNET.

I've mapped me out form: would indite
A sonnet to be regular bow
OF promise in the heavens, that VIC do know
Shows always seven colors to the sight:
And twice seven lines are in sonnet, quite.
The octave now is making good show,
And will be ended soon, to my delight
I've heard of sonnet writers that. in woe,
Sat up all hours 50 as to get it right
The sestet's not so hard as the octave,
But hard enough for me. Why should sigh
IT'S true the tasks not comical, nor grave,
Nor hopeless is it. or should not try
To sing little running music stave,
Which ought tho Petrarch cult to satisfy.

tell Of glory and gaicty, are to-day In
tormingled with the sombre shades or
a peoples grief.
At an early hour this morning the
measured tread Of the uniformed guard
Of honor set about the person of the
dead statesman was interrupted by the

modest blossoms and lowller tears
would have been most grateful to the
great Democratic heart OF the silent
friend Of the people.
The great distances and the short
time FOR preparation prevented the at
