When Music Was In Ill Repute.

The objection of the nonconformist
conscience to musical instruments did
not stay at organs, but was extended
to fiddles and harps. The drum was
almost the sole instrument which was
not Babylonish and anti-Christian and
could be heard with no uncomfortable
scruples. Neither did that curious con-
science object simply to the use of the
harp and the fiddle upon the village
green after the common evensong upon
Sunday afternoons, but objected to
them even upon the weekdays. To be
a harper or fiddler was ipso facto to
be a sinner. Any money earned by
playing harp or viol was the wages
of inquity. Saturday Re-

Second Childhood.

There is a childhood into which we grow
heart-simplicity whereby we hold
Loves sunshine fairer than the CLINT Of
gold,
AS what we hope for passeth what we
know.
Warm memories from the tender "long
ago"
Whisper their tale; and we can ne'er
grow old
If now and then life's shadows, gray and
cold,
Are flooded with our childhood s. afterglow.
We are not old till we forget the way
That leads us from the tumult of the
street
To memorys dimly-lighted, still retreat,
Where youth comes back to those who have
grown gray,
Where all may find a benison-save they
Whom long forgetfulness hath made I'M
meet.

Just a little bit of baby,
Twenty pounds and nothing more
See him floor his giant daddy,
Weight two hundred, six feet four.
Just little biz of baby;

From his lovely mothers face.

Just little bit of baby,
Walking? no; nor crawling, even
See him lead a dozen grown-ups
To the very gate of heaven!

~ lndue her reputation uurluS
the weeks of almost incessant
fighting before Petersburg and
Bermuda Hundred. She lost her life
in scrimmage in which she was near
ly the whole thing, for she had a way
of taking matters into her own control
and carrying her rider into the thick
est of the fight, whether he liked it or
not. She was such a warrior herself
that when she got worked up to the
proper pitch she paid no attention to
bugle calls or orders and always start
ed in to thrash the enemy single hand
ed That was one reason why she was
called Helen Blazes, but there was au-
other-her temper The name was not
spelled just that way by the boys of
the Third New York cavalry, but Jeb
Smith, the man who rode her and the
only man who ever could ride her, was
a minister before the war broke out,
SO he changed the original three words
of her name into two, thus quieting
his conscience and satisfying the ''boys"
at the same time.
She was picked up one night on a
scouting expedition. Wink Tompkins
brought her into camp the next MORN
ing, and he was sight. Blazes had
fore feet, and his uniform was in tat
tiers. She had kicked and bitten the
horse he rode until it was fit only to be
mustered out of service for repairs, and
she had utterly destroyed what little
temper Wink possessed. The boys
could hear him swearing at Blazes
when they were half mile away, and
between his shouts and the laughter of
his companions and the plunging and
kicking, biting and striking of the
| mare as they approached it made a
pretty sight for tired cavalrymen. By
the time they rode up we were all out
waiting for them, and we had the
greatest circus of the whole war right
then and there.
"There, by thunderw said Wink.
"I've landed her here cos l said I
would. The fellow that can ride her
can have her, for all care.", And he
pitched the lead rope to me. Blazes
was beauty, there was no denying
that, and old Mcnamara, our captain,
had his eye on her from the moment
he saw her. Wink saw that old Mac
coveted her the minute he dismounted,
and he saluted and said:
''f'ye brought ye one now, cap'n,
sure's yer born. If she amt Helen

who could not show a substantial

Charles B. Hanford.

Miss Marie Drofnah, who is Charles B. Hanfords leading lady this season, is an artist of experience and great charm. Her Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing, which MT Hanford will produce at the Jefferson during his engagement on Oc- tober 24 and 25, is regarded as one of the best portrayals of this exacting role since the accomplished French actress, Mime Hortense Rhea. made a sensation in the part some years ago. Miss Drofnah, as well as being remarkably clever in seri- ous scenes, has the instinct of true conn edy which serves her well in her depic- tion of Beatrice. The ladies will be es- pecially interested to know that Miss Drofnah wears some remarkably beauti- full gowns in this character.

The box office sale yesterday morning shows that the Gordon-Shay Grand Opera company will have successful engage ment this afternoon and evening. There was some doubt at first as to whether it would have been wiser for Miss Shay and the artists who accompany her to give other operas. The sale indicates, however, that music lovers desire to hear "Il Travatore". Perhaps they are right; there has been no more beautiful opera and no cleverer and better wrought orchestration than there is to the old favorite ''n Travatore" in the history of music Verdi has the art of touching the hearts and arousing the sympathies, as well as exciting the music interests of his hearers.
