THE CORAL GROVE.

By Jam es Gates Percival. Deep in the wave is coral grove, Where the purple mullet and goldfish
 rove, Where the sea-fiower spreads it's leaves
 of blue That never are wet with the falling dew. But in bright and changeful beauty shine Far down in the green and glassy brine The floor is of sand, like the mountain
 drift
 And the pearl shells spangle the fiinty
 snow: From coral rocks the sea plants lift Their boughs where the tides and bill
 lows flow The water is calm and still below For the winds and waves are absent
 there; And the sands are bright as the stars
 that glow
 In the motionless fields of upper air. There, with its waving blade of green, The sea-flag streams through the silent
 water,
 To blush like a banner bathed in
 slaughter. There. with light and easy motion, The fan-coral sweeps through the clear.
 deep sea; And the yellow and scarlet tufts of ocean Are bending like corn on the upland
 lea. And life, in rare and beautiful forms, Is sporting amid those bowers of stone. And Is safe, when the wrathful spirit of
 storms
 Has made the top of the wave his own. And when the ship from his fury flies, Where the myraid voices of ocean roar. When the wind-god frowns in the murisy
 skies,
 And demons are waiting the wreck on
 shore Then. far below, in the peaceful sea. The purple mullet and golf1sh rove, Where the waters murmur tranquilly Through the bending twigs of the coral
 grove.

Steiner, chairman of the committee that audited the festival accounts and undertook to collect the guarantee and settle the bills; Tt looks as if not more than half the amount of the deficit will be collected. We will get enough to finish paying Thomas and am afraid that will be about all. MT.

He told me that he expected to bring the artist here next December, but he will probably change his mind. Our music lovers can hear Kubelik however, by going either to Atlanta or Nashville.
 The Cincinnati Music Festival, Theo- dore Thomas director, begins on Wednes- day, the 14th instant. There will be five concerts Some of the orchestral num- bers will be light enough for the aver age audience but a.. of the chorus music is severely classic. The principal works are Ceasar Franck's oratorio, "The Beati- tudes, Bachs B Minor Mass, and Ber- lioz's Requiem Mass No. 3. Of these the latter will be the most appreciated.
 Bach's mass Is regarded by scholarly critics as the great masters highest achievement But it is far over the heads of any but educated musicians. Thomas gave 1t in Cincinnati some years ago, and it put the audience to sleep 1 think he makes a mistake In giving 1t again. This mass is valuable for study, but 1t Is never sung in church and seldom In festivals, even in Europe.
 The Cincinnati chorus Is 800 strong and Thomas orchestra will be augmented to 150. It is estimated that the deficit this year will be not less than S15,0oO. But Cincinnati Is a rich and public spirited city and the guarantors do not mind a little item like S15,00O. The only deficit which ever made Cincinnati grunt and groan was that of nearly $1O0,OOO resulting from the last Sangerfest

Birmingham has heard much good music; more indeed than many cities of over a hundred thousand population. When I came here to live few years ago I supposed that this city was like most southern communities in the mat ter of music I expected to hear of Sousa's band as about the only musical organization that had been this way. But soon learned that Capt Frank P. OBrien and one or two other enthusiasts had brought to Birmingham in the early days, grand opera, symphony orchestras and virtuosos as well as all the famous bands of the United States.
 My personal knowledge dates from 1898 when I listened to the Messiah under the direction of MT. Benjamin Gucken- berger. Since that time I can testify to four festivals and to a large number of other high class musical entertainments. I marveIed at Birmingham's musical at mosphere.
 Capt. O'Brien, being a cultivated musi- clan, was, while in the show business" bent on having the best of everything, but much of his musical enterprise meant heavy financial loss After the spacious Auditorium was built there was less risk in bringing expensive attractions here. From 1898 to 1901, musical undertakings, with few exceptions, paid out But the season just ended has been so unsatis- factory from a box office point of view that festivals, orchestral concerts and re- citals by great artists, to say nothing of operatic performances will be few and far between for some time to come. About the only thing that paid expenses this season was the Grau Opera The French opera, in many respects superior to Grau's, was a dismal failure financially.
 Deficits the Rule.
 Without attempting to make an analy- sis of the situation in order to account for the falling off in musical enthusiasm. l will state what is fact, that compara- lively small audiences and big deficits have been the rule in all the great cities of the country. But in other places de- ficits are promptly met without com plaint and festivals and symphonies go on just the same. Birmingham does not take kindly to deficits. Capt. O'Brien Is no longer a manager. and unless well-to-do citizens are willing to make good the loss es, there is little hope for music in the future.
 Theodore Thomas makes a southern tour every spring. He has been here three successive seasons but his matchless or chestra will not be heard in this city again unless guarantee money is in bank for him before the performance begins. He never gives a concert without a guarantee. He has been paid in install ments up to two or three hundred dollars of the amount promised and the balance will be remitted but the very fact that guarantee collections have been slow will make his treasurer pursue the policy that Grau had when he gave Lohengrin here.

BURIAL OF SIR JOHN MOORE.

By Charles Wolfe Not a drum was heard, not funeral As his corpse to the rampant we hur-
 ried; Not a soldier discharged his farewell shot
 Der the grave where our hero we
 buried. We buried him darkly, at dead of night, The sods with our bayonets turning; By the struggling moonbeams misty And the lantern dimly burning. No useless coffin enclosed his breast, Not in sheet or in shroud we wound
 him. But he lay like warrior taking his rest, With his martial cloak around him. Few and short were the prayers we said, And we spoke not a worG of sorrow; But we steadfasty gazed on the face that was dead, And we bitterly thought of the morrow. We thought as we hollow'd his narrow bed,
 And smoothd down his lonely pillow, That the foe and the stranger would tread OCT his head And we far away on the billowi Lightly they'll talk of the spirit that's gone,
 And OCT his cold ashes upbraid him; But little he'll reck, if they let him sleep on
 In the grave where a Briton has laid
 him. But half of our heavy task was done When the clock struck the hour for re-
 tiring; And we heard the distant and random gun
 That the foe was sullenly firing. Slowly and sadly we laid him down, From the field of his fame fresh and
 gory; We carved not line. and we raised not stone
 But we left him alone with his glory.
