American Chorus Girl in London.

1lODc-
One of the least pleasant features of
American musical comedy is the famil-
iarity with which the chorus girls treat
the audience. 1t was amusing when a
vivacious singer addressed remarks to
the audience, and pardonable when she
even smiled at some particular gentle
man. It ceases to divert when a crowd
ed chorus devotes itself to wInking
and smiling at the audience. No doubt
these sparkling glances are harmless
enough; but they do not commend
themselves to the taste of the better
class English play-goer. There are
certain women who do not object to
find their husbands and brothers Sc
lected for these fiattering attentions;
but the bettor-class play-goer does re-
sent such familiarity, and he certainly
deserves consideration at the hands OF

NThOu Hast wounded the Spirit That
Loved Thee"


~ Mrs. David Porter.
The following popular song was
written and composed by Mrs. David
Porter, wife of Commodore David Por-
officer, and mother of the late Admiral
David Dixon Porter (I3l3-189D. The
authorship was concealed for lonf;
time, andsits third stanza was withheld
from publication by the modesty of
Mrs. Porter until Mrs. Admiral Farra-
gut made the lines known no the edt-
tor of a collection of songs who In
1891, restored them in reprinting the
entire poem;
Thou hast wounded the spirit that
loved thee
And cherished thine image for years;
Thou hast taught me at last to forget
In secret, in silence. and tears:
AS young bird,when left by its
mother,
Round the nest will still lingering
hover.
Ere its trembling wings can fly.
Thus we're taught in this cold world to
Each feeling that once was so dear;
Like that yong bird. I'll seek to dis
A home V Of affection elsewhere.
Though this heart may stin cling to
thee fondly
And dream of sweet memories past,
Yet hope. like the rainbow of summer,
Gives a promise of Lethe at last.
Like the sunbeams that play on the
ocean
In tremulous touches of light
Is the heart in it's early emotion
Illumintd with visions as bright.
Yet ofttimes beneath the waves swell
ling
A tempest will suddenly come,
All rudely and wildly dispelling
The love of the happiest home.
