THE MURMUR OF THE WORLD.

And through this temperature, we see The seasons alter: hoary-headed frosts Fall in the fresh lap of the crimson rose; And on old Hyems chin, and icy crown, An odorous chaplet of sweet summer
 buds
 Is, as a mockery set: The spring. the
 summer,
 The chilling autumn, angry winter,
 change
 Their wonted liveries; and the mazed
 world,
 By their increase now knows not which
 is which,"
 Flowers of the field fade with the northwinds breath: flowers of the spirit alone fade not at all, my beloved.
 The chilling autumn, angry winter, are powerless to cool hearts that are faith full, and lowering clouds, short black days and long black nights shall bring no gloom to any reliant soul.
 Whoso lives and loves in the wider and deeper humanities shall live and love beyond the utmost reach of human grief; shall ring with one hand the notes of human joy and with one hand touch the infinite. For him, for her. no shadow falls, no dirge of muffled threnody in life shall throb or sob.
 In the heart that is true the light of consecration shall not burn out; in the soul that Is steadfast the song of the leal shall not cease. There shall ring for ever the faiths hosanna.
 The brave and the stately, the beautiful and the virtuous. the proud and the low 
 human love.
 From the maiden, restful in sweet dreams upon the white couch of inno- cence, untouched from the world and unafraid of all things save immodesty, on through the blessed ranks of holy men and holy women, saintly souls here to point the way to truth; and so in all gradations of life, upward to the highest, the sinless one, and downward to the ragged and homeless waif asleep upon the cold ground, for every one of earth human love, the love of mans kind, Is light that shines for ever alluring. This most gracious and most fair of Gods gifts to His children apeals to the priest at the altar, to the angel of the cloister, and to all who pray or pray not, who give praise or who are silent in the presence of the opulent gifts of Him who hath made and giveth all. Behold, you shall not escape the long . left at night for Nashville. Nordica will probably give a concert at the Auditori- um on the 18th of January.
