A Touch of Nature.

There is a beautiful little incident of
Jenny Lind and Grisi when they were
rivals for popular favor in London. 1t
is told as follows:
Both were invited to sing the same
night at a court concert before tbe
queen. Jenny Lind, being the youngAn.
sang hrst' and was SO disturbed bv the
hefce' scornful look of Grisi that she
was al the point of failure. when. sud
DENLY an inspiration came to her The
accompanies was striking his final
chords. She asked him to rise and
took the vacant seat. Her froa l,,.
wandered over the keys in a loving nre-
iuoe' and then she sang a little PRAYER
when she had loved as a child. She
Lduh sung it for years. AS she sang
ehe was no longer in the presence Of
itoyalty. but singing to loving friends in
her fatherland i---''S III
q softly at first the plaintfve notes
lioated on the air, swelling louder and
richer every moment. The si,, anu
seemed 10 throw her whole souI into
t t.L weird, thrilling. pIaintive
prayer. Gradually the song died
away and ended in sob. There was
sLeIlce-the silence of admiring won
ger. The audience sat speIIbonnd
Jenny Lind lifted her sweet ewes to
look into the scornful face that had So
dlsconcerted her. There was no fierce
expression now; instead a teardron
gilstened on the long, black Iashes. and
after moment, with the impuIsive-
ness OF child of the tropics. Grisi
crossed to Jenny Lind's side, placed
ner arm about her and kissed her, ut
terly regardless of the audience.

The style of the story is graceful and
polished. as one would expect in a
memoir of a scholar such as Esmond
is represented to be, and never does the
author deviate from the point of view,
which. of course. is that of person
himself acting in the drama. The tale
is we'll woven and carries one along
from incident to incident without ia
tiguing by lengthy descriptions or by
oyer-rapid action Nowhere can be
found an impossible incident or person,
but all is so within the boundaries of
reality that one loses sight of the fact
that it is but a tale and not truly the
memoir Of Henry Esmond We can
not see the art. but we feel 1t. and in
this Thackeray shows that he is truly
worthy to rank as a master OF fic- /
ton.
In this. not so much as in his other
works. is the keen vein of satire promi-
1ent-the satire of one who, standing

sneers. But taking it throughout, as

POPE FOR PEACE.
Leo Enlists the Prayers Of the Church
For Peace in South Africa

For Peace In South Africa
Leo pleads for peace. His words may
not have immediate effect. his appeal
may not stop the barbarous shedding of
human blood, but the protest Of the
prophet of the Vatican will not ascend
to heaven in vain. The Pope today is
the champion of morality as truly as
when in olden times he interDosed be-
tween the armed princes and nations
which acknowledged his spiritual au
thority. Every blow directed at the
temporal possession Of the Holy Father
has. BY the compensation Of Providence,
strengthened his dominion in the sphere
of faith and morality 1t would be rash
ness to attempt to predict what infiu
ence the papacy may have in days to
come. as twenty years ago it would
have been accounted folly to predict
that Leo would attain the high place
which the world now gladly accords to
him. 1t will be remembered that the
Pope eXerted to the utmost his power
10 avert the war between Spain and
the United States, and later that he
did what ne could to prevent the out
breaking of hostilities in South Africa.
on the occasion of the annual celebra-
fion of the anniversary of the Pope'6
birthvdav. the cardinals presented the
usual address, and in the course of his
reply he uttered these beautiful sentl-
ments:
For the rest" said His Holiness, 'it

THE MODERN THERMoPYLAE.


A Brave and Bold Ballade of Ten t
One.
{ William S Walsh, in Life)
come Rentles all! and shout your fill
Hark what the cables say,
Inc nag that conquered Bunker Hill
Has Won again today.
Once more rabble rout of churls,
An i'll trained farmer horde,
Have met our knights and sons of earls
And pupils of the sword.
Aye. let the gallant tale be told.
In ballade that endureS.
How fifty thousand BritOnS bold
Did whip four thousand Beers
Maiuba Hill is now forgot,
Forgot its petty shame.
Ihat damned spot our heroes blot
In Paardebergan fame.
For then We fought as man to man.
Each Briton was alone
But here we tried the safer plan
OF fighting ten to one.
The Lord who dotes on Englishmen
And shields their blood and bone,
Informed the thews of every ten
With all the strength of one.
Then. gentles ALI Pour out your thanks
In balldde that endureS.
Say once we whipped thousand Yanks,
And now, four thousand Beers.
And mention, too, the Persian who
Did storm the bloody pass:
And smote another Tabble crew.
Led by LeOnidaS.

GIN LONDON TOWN."

That Englishmen may doff their hats
To that despised rag.

Ans all tia bands in London town
Are playing Irish airs.
They're ringing bells in London town
In honor of the day,
In honor of the Irish lads
Who in far Natal lay.

Ihey re singing Irish songs
A compliment to Irish Rights,
But what of Irish wrongs?
oh. will the jingling of DELL,
When England needs your hand.
Drown out the cry of love and loss,
The hunger of the land?
Oh. viii it bring the eXiles back,
And Will it dry the tears.
And viii it mend the broken hearts
That pave the awful years?
And what of famine and Of want?
The gaunt-eyed and the gray
Who sunken in their nameleSS graves
Are moldering today?
Is this the nation that should JOY
To see its flag on high?
Its sons, though hardly fit to live
Are good enough to die.
Oh. soldier, take the shamrock off.
And spare your country's fame,
The leaf that was your honor once
Today's a badge OF shame
This Is the price of Irish blood
The nobly ransomed wrong
To wave your flag. and ring their bells
AND mock you with a Songi

rule. The Spanish war, demonstrating
our resources and ability TO act and act

them free of charge, attracted the at

from it by selling more of our corn.

CARRIAGE BUILDERS BUSY.
TheIrO prosperity II an IHdication
That Farmers and Mer-
chants Prosper.

moments reelection will convince
aCyone that the condition of the car
rfage sad buggy manufacturers of the
country gives an unfailing line on the
condition Of the people generally.
When farmer is prosperous, receiv-
ing good prices, and feels contented
with his own condition, he is very
apt to buy new buggy. or surry, or
carriage. He gets along with the old
one, if he is not able to buy. The
city merchant and the country mer-
chant is governed entirely by the same
considerations.
With this in view. the following
statement made by Morris Woodruff,
of Dayton, O.. president of the Car
riage Builders national association,
which, by the way, is not an indus
trial combination, becomes of inter
est. 1t is as follows:
I'VE have just held the most sue
cessful convention in the history Of
the association. and the reason for
its success is that carriage makers
are prosperous The carriage maker
feeds on prosperity, and staryes on
depression.
During the last democratic admin
istration the demand for carriages fell
off to point where business every
where was conducted at loss. The
carriage is no longer a luxury, but
is a necessity, though the first ne
cessity that is dropped when it be-
comes necessary TO economic. In the
early half of 1896 the business was tenn
porarily prosperous and continued so
up to the time that Bryan was nominal
ed on free silver platform. After the
Chicago convention the demand for
carriages fel! off so rapidly that in 60
days 60 of the largest carriage firms in
the country went to the wall-failed.
Immediately following the election
of President Mckinley business BEGAN
to improve. and has improved steadily,
until the present year bids fair to be
the most prosperous in the history Of
the industry Our factories are run
ming full capacity without any trust,
poo. or other stimulant.
I'VE have faith that Mckinley will! be
elected. but we know that his election
means everything to US, and 95 per cent.
of our membership will not relax a
muscle in his service until election
night"
