/, Dorothy, I love you well!

All. Dorothy, love you well!
Why do you scorn me so?
why did you ring our friendships knell
And order me to go?
why, when the merest friendship ends,
And Love declares himself,
Comes there rift which nothing
mends?
Oh, Love, thou art an elf!
Sweet Dorothy, be friends again,
And smile as oft Of yore;
And, though it be the direst pain,
I'll ask for nothing more.

God Hears You.

A man was at work In city depot,

heavy, and difficult to manage alone.
He lost his patience at last, and began
to swear and curse terribly. A little
girl had been watching him, and when
she heard his wicked oaths she seemed
shocked and frightened. She became
excited presently. and cried out:
"Oh, please don't talk like that!
Don't you know God hears your"
The man was startled by her ear
nestness, and looked about, as II half
expecting to find himself face to face
with listening God. The child's words
brought conviction of his wickedness
home to him. Don't you know that
God hears your" kept ringing in his
ears as he went on with his work. But
he did not swear again that day. He
could not rid himself of the sense Of
Gods nearness which the little girls
question had given him. He went
home in sober, thoughtful mood. He
seemed so unlike himself that his wife
thought he must be sick.
mo, I'm not SICK" he told her,
but I'm thinking out something"
All that night voice kept saying
over and over to him, God hears you"
1t was the turning point in his life.
He kept on thinking until he thought
out" his salvation, The words Of the
child had done more than all the SER
mons he had ever listened to, for they
made him think Of God as he had never
thought Of him before.

should PLAYS Be Printed?

Moliere objected to tho printing of his
plays on the ground that they were
meant to be acted ON the stage, with the
costumes, scenery and illusions per-
tanning thereto, and not to be read in
the closet. 1t was also inferred that
Shakespeare entertained the same notion
as Moliere, seeing how indifferent he
was rs to the fate of his plays so long as
they were popular on the stage. There
is also the explicit declaration of Hey
wood in the following terms:
"It hath been no custom in me of all
other men courteous readers) to COM
NIT my plays to the press. The reason,
though some may attribute to my own
insuf1iciency, had rather subscribe in
that to their severe censure than by
seeking to avoid the imputation of weak
ness to incur greater suspicion of hon
esty, for, though some have used dou-
BILE sale of their labors first to the stage
and after to the press, l here proclaim
myself ever faithful to the first and
never guilty Of the last"
The author of the most successful
comedy of modern times exhibited tho
same indifference to, or rather dislike
of, the printer. When "The School For
Scandal" met with so brilliant q recep-
tion, from its first appearance ON May
8, 1777, Ridgway, the publisher, agreed
with Sheridan as to its publication, but
he never succeeded in getting the manu-
script He applied to the author in vain,
and at length got an answer. Sheridan
said that he bad been 10 years endeavor-
ing to satisfy himself with the style of
the play, but had not yet succeeded.
The printing of the play was done in
dependently Of the author. He presented
q manuscript copy Of it to his married
sister, Mrs. Lefanu, at Dublin, to be
disposed Of for her own advantage to the
managers Of the Dublin theater. This
brought her 100 guineas and free admis-
sions to the theater, and it was from the
manuscript thus procured that the Dub
lin edition was printed. Notes and
