WALL STREET sYMPATHIEs.

when the war between England and
the Beers broke out Wall stree. was
loud in its championship of the Beers, -
says morning contemporary.
While the Tribune is probably author
lied to speak for Wall street on Imam
cial questions, it has evidently forgot
ten when the war between England and
the Beers broke out.
According to Mr.. Henry Clews, the
well known banker, broker and finan-
cial authority of Wall street, the daily
prayer on the New York stock ex-
change from the beginning has been for
IAN early and decisive victory for the
English
The persistent refusal of the president
to tender his friendly services before
the actual conflict began, was attrib-
uted, whether justly or unjustly, to the
Wall street influences behind the adj
ministration; and a perusal of the files
of any leading newspaper of eastern cit
les where Boer sy1npathizers met and
passed resolutions will show that such
charges were repeatedly made by
speakers on such occasions.
Besides, a number of interviews with
prominent Wall street characters were
printed about the time hostilities be-
gan, and every one of them expressed
the strongest sort of sympathy with
England and not one sentiment fav-
orable to the Beers could be found on
1.-The street" 1t is the abode of imper-
ialism in this country.

making was in progress. Often. as In
the sixth book of the ''Faerie Queene"
and the Arcadia" the shepherds are
but knights and princes in disguise,
and even when supposed to be of rustic
birth they have learned their manners
at court. Certainly they seem all the
prettier, these manners. when disguised
under a coat of homespun or a kirtle
of green; yet every now and then the
modern reader rubs his eyes and asks
himself why he does not feel impa-
thence, who he tolerates to linger in
this artificial and fantastic land. The
reason is the same that made Rosa
ling linger in Arden, and the old duke
return, one feels, with some reluctance
to the cares of an actual realm. For
here we may enjoy a world of ex-
quisite breeding without formalities,
the fruits of civilization without its
pains. Who would not sacrifice much,
if he might, to reach this Impossible
region? No wonder strikes us when,
as often happens, in the Faithful
Shepherdess" or the "Arraignment of
Paris or elsewhere, nymphs and sat-
yrs. or even the Oiympian gods them
selves, leave their glories to join the
shepherds dance and play.
Yet, lovely as was this pastoral
realm, men turned away from it. They
took to feeling the pathos and beauty
of real shepherd life, as Wordsworth
tells us in "The Prelude" and describ-
ing it for US, as he does in that noble
and simple poem. his Michael" By
and by they took to writing realistic
novels And even today, when we turn
to the pastorals for relief and escape.
among all pastoral writers we count
Shakespeare as the dearest and high
est. For he gave us pure poetry and
perfect grace, and the ecstasy of SIM
plicity and of freedom; but through all
this gay loyeliness of life disguised, he
showed US life itself

LESSON FOR ENGLAND.

Butler is trying hard to. retrieve his
damaged reputation as a fighter before
Lord Roberts reaches the stage of ac-
tion
When il was first announced that
Butler was to take charge of the cam
paign against the Beers the English
people shut their eyes, put their fingers
in their ears and exclaimed: Butler
is too cruel, too merciless, We shud-
der to think of the fate in store for the
poor, delu6ed peasants. Would that a
more humane general had been sent to
lead the British invasion of the Trans
vaali''
The crash came-and Butler came out
of the carnage second best. There were
Beers engaged in the butcher business,
too.
At last the English people have made
up their minds that the army needs a
cautious, rather than q dashing leader,
that strategists are quite as essential
as fighters, that caution is no less
necessary than courage.
With this in mind the British will
possibly be able to accomplish more in
the future than they have in the past.

twentieth century begins on JAN 1.
1907 says the New York Mail and

1t is a common error to look forward
10 the beginning OF a new century next
Monday. Centuries begin with the year
following the hundred years mark.
Thus from the beginning of the year l,
in the Christian era, to the end of the

second century began with the year 101
ard ended at the close of the year zoe,

Wellesley College.
Pastorals of the Elizabethan Ag,

In the EliZabethan age pastoralism
enlisted all kinds of champions and
scored all kinds of successes. 1t is not
strange, then, that Shakespeare should
have tried his hand at this form of
popular literature. And so successful
was he that to this pastoral comedy,
LAS You Like IT, has been ascribed
the first place by almost all the dozens
of Shakespearian criticism. PASTORAL
ism had tried SO many roles that 1t
was bound to succeed in one. But, to
speak correctly, pastoralism was not a
literary form; 1t was a poetical mode.
Whether in verse or prose, it adopted
form which should be described by
the usual literary nomenclature as dra-
NAUTICAL, lyrical, elegical or romantic
al With it Spenser portrayed the bu-
collie scenes of his Shepherds Calen-
dar,' Sidney his adventurous and
courtly Arcadia Lodge his rustic
and romantic story of Rosalind, Lyly
his euphuistic and NEUROLOGICAL Gala
thea, Barnfield his semi-classical, erotic
sonnet-cycle. and many others many
other productions.
Admirably did the pastoral lend it
self to the drama. Was it not dra-
matte thing to see a. princess tripping
in shepherdess attire alcng the sunny
slope of the hillside or in the gloom of
the forest? Could anything be more
entertaining than to hear the gallant
courtier discuss in euphuistic fashion
the merits of pastoral life or rural lib
erty? Amid such a setting the mos.
compromising situations, the most trea-
sonable speeches became harmless in
nocence in the dramatist's creation. To
him it was the liberty of the press; to
his audience it was the familiar and
pleasing aliegory combining realism
and idealism. To the average Eliza
bethan pastoralissn was, moreover, a
mode of naturalism.
Pastoralism being essentially dra-
matte the drama made use of it from
the very earliest times The miracles
and mysteries sometimes represented
Cain as typical boorish shepherd, and
later the moralities and interludes
never refused the valuable aid of pas
toralism. The ancient myth of Robin
Hood and his jolly outlaws, under the
greenwood tree of Sherwood forest, en-
tered into many a dramatic production
and lent a true English aspect to the
exotic tendencies of the renaissance
pastorals Lyly and Greene both adj
mitted pastoral scenes into their
dramas, the former depicting pseudo
classic type &C shepherd and shepherd
ess,. while the latter gives startlingly
vivid pictures Of real English country
life. Both were preparing the way for
the great dIllSt Oh p1StOIdllSII-
The commentators have tarried long

The description of these seven ages
Is picturesque-you should see the

Jean Jacques Rousseau, a sentimental
advocate of naturalism. The life OF

so-called social world. Jacques had
sought the seQuestration OF the for

scorn of the outside world. In these
Arcadian valves he found room for sad
humor. for his bitter observations: in
spite of his peaceful surroundings his
heart was eaten with melancholy and
he rallied against our mistress, the
world. and all our misery" To all the
others Arden was a place OF refuge
from a world of misery, but for Jacques
it was an observatory from which he
loved to watch the misery of the world
to the others Arden was hospital
where their sorrows were being healed

where he could hold an autopsy on his
own heart. Arcadia then is in the
heart. like the kingdom of heaven. The
fool was right. Shakespeare had a rea-
son to keep the fool but he could never
have dispensed with Jaques. All men
then would have been searching for Ar
