until they have been KEPT long and

trious and immortal example. OF those
that must be kept and used ! will name

affair until it has burned a thousand
offerings to the cloud compelling del
ties.
Violns. too-the sweet old Amati!-
the divine Stradivarius! Stained like
the meerschaum, through and through
with the concentrated hue and sweet
ness of all the harmonies which have
kindled and faded on its strings.
Now. tell you a poem must be kept
and used like a meerschaum or violin.
A poem is just as porous as the meer-
schaum; the more porous it is the bet
ter. | mean to say that a genuine
poem is capable of absorbing an indef-
mite amount of the essence of our own
humanity, it's tenderness. it's heroism.
it's regrets, it's aspirations, so as to
be gradually stained through with q
divine secondary color derived from
ourselves.-Oliver Wendell Holmes.

MATTER OF SENTIMENT.
Imagined Her Husbands Spirit Took
Refuge in the Donkey.

Some little time ago wealthy CIT
lzen, dwelling in the neighborhood OF
the Madeline, went over to the major
lty, deeply mourned by his widow.
One fine day the poor lady frightened
up. Every morning rag picker pas
sed her 1oor with a little cart drawn
by a donkey, and she took it into her
head that her husbands spirit had
found a refuge in the body of the an
NAL, deriving considerable consola-
ton from the queer idea. From that
moment the donkey had no reason to
complain of want of attention, at least
on her part. Daily at the self-same
hour, and whether the weather was
fine or rainy, the worthy dame await
ed the approach of the cart and stuf-
fed a quantity of good things down
the animals throat. One day, how
ever, the man made his appearance
alone, and in answer to anxious in
quiries informed the Mortified widow
that the donkey in which, as she fond
Iy imagined her husbands spirit dWelt.
was very i'll. When she called few
hours afterWard to see how the animal
was getting on she found that 1t was
being carefully watched by we'll
dressed individual, who assured her
that he would guarantee an eventual
cure. but that all this would entail an
outlay of 500 francs. The poor ladv
hurried of to her home in a cab and
returned in no time with the money,
but when on the morrow she connded
her distress to friend the whole
matter was represented to her in
practical light, the result being that
she has lodged complaint with the
police, who are, in quite a different
STYLE taking the rag-picker and his
accomplice in hand. AS for the donk-
