Amarga la pena que mace de Ia vergaenza.

Seflor, cuando me rinden
la sed y Ia fatiga
y Ell alma en- ell camino
Sc eleva toda & tt,
cual ave NAL herida
que en- postrimer esfuerzo
buscando espacio vuela,
deseosa de vivir,
escucha ell ruego milo,
sin frases for mulado,
que af1adir6 Ia Erase
del alma 4 la oraci6n.
Sin frases, la conciencia
nos dice que existimos,
y muda, de la noche,
brota la luz del sol.
No pido que las zsrzas
me suiten del sendero,
aunQue con sus espinas
desg&rrense mis- pies;
81 es justo que pasemos
llorando por la TERRA,
apetecer 10 injusto,
no es aspirar al bien.
No pido que amortigues
la luz de la menoria.
aunque ella perpetde
la pena que pas6.
que en- recordar la culpa
la expiacion comienza,
y es expiar. a medias,
sslvarse del error.
Te pido solamente
que cuando ell NAL me aflija,
valor me des Y fuerzas
para sufrir ell NAL,
sin que ell dolor me arranqus
de rebeldia un grito
y sin que el miedo me ha ga,
cobarde, desertar.
No logra ell sol de fuego
del Africa inclemente
del manantial profundo
las aguas extinguir;
bajo la eterna nieve,
cual eaDgre de la roca,
del manantial igaoto
serpean velas mil;
y en- tanto la inclemencia
constante del destino
secsr logra en- las almas
las fuentes del amor,
nuestros impulses hiela,
nnestro anhelar estingue,
para la vida in1til
dejando el coraz6n.
Cuando las siberianas
este pas recorrfa,
mi ser sentf invadido
por halito glacial,
va veces impasible
mire ell dolor del hombre,
Y veces tive miedo
de no poder llorar.
IOh No, Ssfior No seques
del alma ell senti riento,
da a nuestros labios quejas,
vehemencia & nues ira fe;
lloIemos con los tristes,
mas danos Ia esperanto
que ell manantial mas puro
promote 8 nuestra sed.
Aunque los males lIegan
& envilecer ell cnerpo
y la razon erige
sus dudas en- Verdad.
y ell alma en- sus desmayos.
mss tristes que la sombra,
reniega de la vida,
teme scr immortal;
prefiero mis- dolores
4 la inconsciencia eterna
del atomo perdido;
mi alma siente ell amor.
la idea me ennoblece.
Y ser escoria humana
mas vale que ser piedra.
de no poder ser Dios.

Hugh's offer of it.
Peace. Oh, the delicious repose OF

paper, and mothers face was wreathed
in chronic smiles.
Beyond the village folk, who were

maids and a couple of retired army
officers and their wives.

Nevertheless one day the blow fell

the least expected quarter.
It was the last day of the dying year

The roses were all dead and gone. the
singing birds were silent, but the
laurel. the ivy and the holly tinted the
landscape with color, and the sparrows
and some other hardy birds twittered
merrily on the leafless boughs Of the
big elrns.

the part Of Matthias In "The Bells" The
first scene represents the interior OF thu
burgomaster's house. the time Is winter,
and through the latticed window the
snow Is seen falling thlckly outside. The
privileged visitor behind the scenes on a
night when 1.-THE Bells" Is produced will
see. placed near the side wings, a tub
containing soap and water. which boy
keeps stirring into a fine creamy lather.
Before Matthias appears on the stage all
cloaked and booted he steps into the tub,
and the boy splashes the soapy lather
over his person The next minute the
burgomaster enters his house. and, having
presumably come through the snow-storm,
he is covered with the white flakes. which
gradually melt and disappear In sight or
the audience i'm way that natural sno"
could hardly hope to excel.
Even at the beginning of his career the
eminent Lyceum manager displays his
genius for inventing original effects.
While the youthful member of provin-
cial stock company, he was on one occa-
sion cast for a mock supernatural char
acter in burlesque. With the object OF
making the character appear to haze
long, claw-like fingers, he painted the
back OF his hands with dark streaks, that
ran upward from the space between each
finger. To render the illusion more con-
sistent his fingers were never closed
while he was on the stage, but always
spread out against his dark-colored cos
tune. Old playgoers who saw the actor
| in his part describe the effect as singu-
\ larry weird and sinister.

The LiIiputinns.

The Iiliputians, in their charmingly
grotesaue and most attractive play
merry Tramps." delighted another large
audience at the Academy last night.
The scenic environment Of the piece
brilliant and elaborate though II is IS
quite secondary TO the polished art or
these clever little people. The fact that
the play is written in the German tongue
will not deter those who are unacquainted
with that language from spending plea
SAINT and profitable hour or two at the
unioue and interesting performances or
these clever actors. Pantomime IS sure
~ the fundamental principle Of dra-
matte art. and every gesture and move
ment of the Liliputians Is part Of great
revelation.
There are no less than eleven pretty
tableaux scattered through the four acts
of the play, each one Of which presents
q nerfect sea Of color, while the large
ballet Is admirably trained. The per-
formance is thoroughly clean and refined,
and appears greatly to please young and
old. alike.
There will be matinee and evening per-
formances to-day.
