NoCTURNE

Speak softly, sweet. and bid the lutes
play low;
Let the low laughter live but in your
eyes;
Dusk be the air and dim where, spirit
wise,
Move we in noiseless passage to and
One lies asleep beside the fountains
flow,
Lulled by the murmurous waters fall
and rise;
Him may we not awake in other guise
Than this still shape that doth not
hear or know.
Fair on the borders of a dream he lies,
Loath to let slip the ways by which
he came,
Shilling each sense that seeks the
world of men.
Hush, sweet!-no whisper-nay, no
speech of eyes
Lest, reused at last by mention of his
name.
Love shall awake that will not sleep
again.
Jeanette Bliss Gillespie in
The Bookman.

E. H. Lemare organist of st. Mar
garet's Church, Westminster, London,
who was recently on a visit to this
country and gave number of re-
citals, has been selected as the sue
cessor of the late Frederic Archer as
organist at Carnegie Hall, Pittsburg,
says the Musical Courier. The Ameri-
can organists are making such huge
salaries in the church positions they
occupy that a paltry $4,000 a year at
Carnegie Hall. Pittsburg, with a few
thousand dollars added by way of
special recitals and teaching, did not
tempt any of them.

Those with whom he has been so long
and pleasantly associated have formed
plans in the rough which soon will be
so shaped that they can be carried ou
with all success.
The idea of thus honoring DR.. Hale
found its inception in the Hale Club, st
closely Identified with his church, and
of which organization w. p. Fowler Is
president. c. w. Ward secretary, and
e. S. Brigham the treasurer. all being
directors, together with such well
known men as D. w. King, G. H. Flint
F. H Nazro and others. 1t was decid-
ed to hold the celebration in Symphony
Hail. Boston. which has been engaged
for the night of April 3. There will be
exercises which will be congratulatory
in character as a tribute to DR.. Hale
and in these if the plans do not 60
wrong, several able speakers will be
heard. men who have a national and
international reputation. There will be
music of course, as part of the cele-
bration as well as other features.
