A aenor or wit.

"Tenors." says MT. Floersheim in the Musical Courier, ''are not usually re- nowned for wit. There are exceptions, however, and one of them seems to be the Vienna tenor Slezak, who must be gifted with an epigrammatic style par ticularly well adapted for the compos- ing of epigrams One Of the Berlin theatrical agents recently sent him a wire with an offer for a few appear ances in Berlin at very low remu- neration. The telegram said: Offer you two nights, Berlin Royal opera sLohengrin,' "Tannhauser': honorarium 600 marks (about $142)! honorary af- fair!' Whereupon the tenor used the blank for the prepaid answer by filling it out with the short reply: Honorary affair secondary affair, money affair principal affair.-Slezak'

A PARABLE

 Said Christ, our Lord, T will go and
 see How the men, My brethren, believe in
 Me.'' He passed not again through the gate
 of birth, But made Himself known to the chill
 dren of earth. Then said the chief priests, and rulers,
 and kings, "Behold now, the Giver of all good
 things; ... Go to, let us welcome with pomp and
 state Him alone who is mighty and great" With carpets of gold the ground they
 spread Wherever the Son of Man should tr And in palace chambers lofty and Fare, They lodged Him and served Him
 with kingly fare. % Great organs surged through arches
 dim Their jubilant floods in praise of Him; And in church, and palace, and judg~
 ment hall, He saw his image high over all. But still, wherever His steps they led The Lord in sorrow bowed His head, And from under the heavy foundation
 stones Hhe son of Mary heard bitter groans. And in church and palace and judg-
 ment hall, He marked great Assures that rent the
 wall, And opened wider and yet more wide JAS the living foundation heaved and
 sighed. s'Haye ye founded your thrones and
 aitars then On the bodies and souls of flying men And think ye that building snail en=
 dure, Which shelters the noble and crushes
 the poor? with gates of silver and bars of gold He have fenced My sheep from their
 Fathers fold; D have heard the dropping of their
 tears In heaven these eighteen hundred
 years" 70, Lord and Master, not ours the
 guilt. We build but as our fathers built; Behold Thine images, how they stand Sovereign and sole, through all our
 land. EOur trust is hard-with sword and
 flame To hold Thy earth forever the same, lAnd with sharp crooks of steel to keep Still, as Thou leftest them, Thy
 sheep' Then Christ sought out an artisan, A low-browed, stunted, haggard man And a mother girl, whose fingers thin Pushed from her faintly want and sin These set He in the midst of them, And as they drew back their garments
 hem. For fear of defilement, To, here,'' said He, s'The images ye have made of Me!''
