GREATNESS UNDERVALUED.
Shakespeare. Scott and Mrs. SiddOns Were
Not Wonders Once.

Shakespeare. Scott and Mrs. Siddons Were
Not Wonders Once.
In these modern days, when the most
extravagant laudations are paid by lit
tie cliques to little poets and mediocre
actors, and the language Of eulogy is
exhausted on what seems very small
provocation, it is difficult to picture a
time when not only the minor bard and
the second class actors were severely
dealt with, but even the best and great
est were exposed to irreverent criticism
Robert Greene, who, however, was in
the same line of business (''wrote him
self"), declared his contemporary
Shakespeare to be "an upstart crow
who, in his own conceit, was the only
shakescene in the country" Dryden
wrote of the bard of Avon: "He writes
in many places below the dullest writ
ers Of our or any preceding age. Never
did any author precipitate himself from
such heights of thoughts to such low
expressions He is the Janus of poets,
and you have scarcely time to admire
one face ere you despise the other"
Coming nearer to our own times, it
is generally, but quite enormously, sup
posed that the Waverly novels were re-
ceived with a universal accord of &C.
claim on their first appearance, but this
is by no means the case. In many of
the contemporary organs of criticism
they were damned with faint praise"
and in some even without it.
Mrs. Siddons, again-a statue to
whom was uncovered in Paddington by
Sir Henry Irving-is supposed to have
taken the town by storm and to have
been at once acknowledged the queen of
her profession. Yet Horace Walpole,
admitting her great talents, by no
means expressed himself with such en-
thusiasm. "She pleased me beyond my
expectation, but not up to the admira-

by no means. We old folks are apt to

"Thus, you see, all my objections are
very trifing, but what l really wanted
but did not find was originality, which
announces genius, and without both
which I am never intrinsically pleased.

THAcKERAY IN BOSTON.
His Comment on the Good Society," Of
That City.


Mr.. Thackeray brought from England
letter Of introduction to an important
gentleman of Beacon street. By him he
was most Hospitality entertained and
passed from dinner party to dinner par
ty. But Thackeray' S interest in the cap
ital Of New England did not end with
Beacon street dinner parties. He had
heard something of the eminent men of
the town and at that moment happened
to be particularly interested in Theo-
dOre Parker. He wished very much to
hear this celebrated Unitarian preacher.
He mentioned this desire to his host.
The Beacon street gentleman seemed
much surprised, but without abating
any of his outward courtesy and MAX
ing some valid excuse took him to
Kings chapel on Sunday morning in
stead of to Music hall, where Parker
preached At Kings chapel, the Bea-
con street gentleman said, people of the
best society might always he found.
Thackeray. it is needless to say, was
a mild hammered man, not fond of a
struggle to free himself from his enter

impossible for him to get on Sunday to
Music hall. But during the week he
heard that Parker was to deliver dis
course at the funeral of rich and pub
lie spirited merchant. Thackeray went
alone to the funeral and was greatly in
terested and thrilled by the address.
He also saw many people who looked
as if they were more interesting than
any he had seen at the Beacon street
dinner parties. He went home that
morning to dinner and found that his
host had invited to meet him several
| gentlemen Of the best society, most OF
whom were bores, Thackeray could not
help telling about Parker and the fu-
neral and confessing how much he had
been impressed by the preacher and the
people His host was visibly distressed
and presently managed to whisper in
his ear, 81 beg of you, Mr.. Thaclzeray
to remember that Mr. Parker does not
belong to our best society," This was
more than the Englishman could stand,
and he replied. loud enough to be heard

How the Scene Was Once Lighted.

1t must have often struck people,
when reading Of the old performances
in the last century, how it was that the
lighting was contrived. The power of
oil lamps was limited enough. Theaters
like Drury Lane and Covent Garden
were of enormous size. There were no
footlights, at least until about the mid
die Of the last century, and they We're
the humble "doats," dim enough. Yet
there was ample light to observe ex-
preston and play Of features, SO neces-
sary in Interpreting the fine old come
dies of character. Nowadays the stage
is one blaze. 1t is literally bathed and
suffused in light. There are no shad-
ows, and yet it might be said the
amount Of necessary light is no more
than there used to be and is not nearly
as satisfactory. How was it then?
In the theaters of Garriclz and earlier
days the stage was really lit by four
great chandeliers, which hung directly
over the heads of the actors from the
arch OF the proscenium and just outside
the curtain. When the play was over,
these were lowered slowly, signal for
the audience to depart. These chande-
Tiers furnished a goodly amount OF light
on circular zone Immediately below
them. The actors faces and figures
were lit in the natural way, as the sun
would light them, but the rest of the
stage was comparatively dark or
gloomy. -Gentleman s Magazine.

WINDS AND LEAVES.

Wet winds that flap the sodden leaves.
Wet leaves that drop and fall,
Unhappy leatless trees the wind bereaves,
Poor trees and small;
All of s,color, solemn in your green;
All of a color, somber in your brown;
All Of a color, dripping gray between,
When leaves are down.
On, for the bronze green eucalyptus spires,
Far flashing up against the changeless blue
Shifting and glancing in the steady fires
OF sun and moonlight too.
Deep orange groves, pomegranate hedges
bright
And vanished fringes of the pepper trees,
And, ah, that wind Of sunshine, wind of light,
Wind of the seasi

WARNING FOR SCHOOLMA'AM
A Fond Mother Viewed the Acquaintance
With Some Suspicion.

A Fond Mother Viewed the Acquaintance
With Some Suspicion.
The course Of teacher in some rural
schools is not unmarked by pitfalls
One young lady thus engaged tells an
amusing story of the anxiety her con-
duct unwittingly caused the mother of
one of her pupils. The pupil in ques-
ton was an overgrown and stupid but
we'll behaved boy of 10, named Tobias
Hodge. He was older by several years,
and far bigger than any other pupil in
the school, but he was not so we'll adj
vanced in his studies as some of the
younger ones. He seemed so anxious
to learn that the teacher often got him
to remain after school for the purpose
Of assisting him III his studies.
Their homeward way lay over the
same road, and they would walk home
together after the hard places in the les
sons had been made easy for Tobias
Often in the morning; when she left
home to go to the schoolhouse, the
teacher would find the boy waiting for
her, and she tactfully gave him several
lessons in politeness, such as lifting his
hat to her and other ladies, and assist
ing her over bad places in the road
She was beginning to feel that she
might really make something out of To
bias, when her efforts on his behalf re-
ceived d sudden check by the receipt of
the following note from his widowed
mother:
MADDUM-I just want to say that I have
