4 COMPOSERS SID DECLINE.
From The Pail Mall Gazette.

From The Pail Mall Gazette.
All music lovers will be very sorry to hear
that the latest reports about the health of
GiacOmo Puccini, the composer of La BOheme'
and 'TOsca,' very far from reassuring.
1t is now some months since he was travelling
evening in his motor and was thrown
out his thigh bone being badly broken. He
was at once taken home, and passed many
weeks of suffering, but cheerful and hope
full, and all seemed going well. However. the
weeks passed into months, and they say the
months will pass into years, and he still walks
with crutches, the bone will not knit.
Puccini was noted among Italians for his love
of sport, especially shooting. When his fingers
not on the keyboard of the piano they held
a gun, the tramping and physical fatigue being
not the least of the enjoyment. That this man,
almost n giant in stature and strength, should
become chronic invalid must distress not only
his nearest and dearest. but also those who
know him only through his music. PuCcini
shows the marks of his suffering. physical and
mental. He is gaunt nd pale, with an express
sion which causes the eyes of those who know
him to fill with tears, since the Italians say,
His life is finished

Sweet we must never meet and part again.
Twere too much pain;
We needs must go our journey through this life
without much grief or strife for fear we walk
too slow
And We have far to 60
Sweet, you and must never meet and kiss
'Twere too much bliss.
We have to go our journey sOberly
Without much ecstasy for fear we walk too fast
And miss the way at last
sweet you and must follow separate ways
And pass our DAYS
And not too much remember nor forget
Too utterly. for yet, remains the unknown inn
Wherein

At set of sun
After the shine and rain
We take our ease, and maybe meet again

TH4CKER4Y'S MUSTACHE.
Notes and Queries.

From Notes and Queries.
In n note on Samuel Laurence'S portrait OF
Thackeray-that representing the novelists face
in full-''The Illustrated London News of Octo-
Der l3 1875, says:
1t is not, must confess. altogether true to
his present appearance: for it wants a recent
and becoming addition to the upper lip, in the
shape of u black mustache. that contrasts most
admirably with a head of silver grey; but ii IS
like the man, and will be welcome to his many
admirers"
esting for the reason that every portrait OF
Thackeray with one exception represents him
with a clean shaver upper lip, the exception be-
ing Macise's pencil drawing of the famous
'Titmarsh," which, however, belongs to a much
earlier date wiz. about 1910, and in which
there is just a suspicion of mustache- Pre-
sumably the hirsute appendage of 1850 was
merely Il passing fancy, which the razor speed
lily disposed of. l should be glad to know II
there exists any portrait of Thackeray of that
date showing the mustache.

Through pulse and heart and brain;

Danced blithe or stumbling trOd

Sad or content

Those quiet ones below?
The lime tree shadows pass
Over the long graves grass:

About the sleepers' long slept sleep,

Live men and women, since unvext

We too shall stay
