soNG FROM "MARMIoN"

Where shall the lover rest
Whom the fates sever
From his true maden's breast
Parted forever?
Where through groves dee and high
Sounds the far hillow
Where early violets die
Under the willow,
Soft shall be his pillow,
There through the summer day
Cool streams are LAYING;
There while the tempests sway
Scarce are boughs waving;
There thou thy rest shalt take,
Parted forever;
Never again to wake
Never oh never
Where shall the trailer rest,
He. the deceiver.
Who could win maiden's breast,
Ruin and leave her?
In the lost battle,
Borne down by the flying,
Where mingles wars rattle
With groans of the dying
There shall he be lying
Her wing shall the eagle flap
Der the false-hearted;
His warm blood the wolf shall lap,
Ere life be parted
Shame and dishonor sit
BY his grave ever;
Blessing shall hallCw it
Never. oh never,

Its money value? That is something
no one can tell--not even to satisfy
the Americans natural desire to know
what thing cost One can only state
that the Meleager is worth whatever it
would fetch and, from the point of
view CT the artist and art amateur
very much more. To say that its value
is one hundred thousand dollars or five
hundred thousand dollars or one mil
lion dollars, means nothing. Enough
that this is in the estimation of COM
petent art critics the most valuable
piece of original statuary in the
United States; that it was found sew
eral years ago at San Marinella, 30
miles from Rome and about 100 yards
from the spot where the Meleager
now in the British museum was dug

It is an original statute in the sense
that it was made in the later period of
Greek Empire. 1t is. however. one Of
number of Meleagers which seem all
to have been variations of the same
masterpiece. generally attributed TO
the sculptor Scopas; and no one can
say whether this is the original Melea-
ger or only one Of the replicas. The
actual original possibly no one has,

director Of the Fogg museum. believes

be little doubt that the statue of which
the Harvard Meleager may or may not
be replica was made either by Scopas or
some one of his age 1t has all the
characteristics of the era of transi
tiCu when the Greek sculptors We're
beginning to be less devoted to render
ing the ideal and decorative and more
addicted to the realistic and represen
tative; and it is one of the best things
Of its age-one in which the excel
lences of both types Of sculpture are
prominent
Scopas bore the greatest name
among the sculptcre of this period of
the 4th century b. C.-of a time when
the artists We're beginning to have new
methods of workmanship and new con
ceptions of the ancient deities, This
Meleager. attributed to him belongs
therefore to one of the best periods of
Greek art and in most essentials it
stands well the test of comparison
with such statues as the 'ApollC and
the Infant Dionysus" or the Venus
Of Melos. And certainly among the
many renderings of the subject this
one which Harvard has acquired IS
among the most admirable: although
perhaps the most famous Cf all is the
one in the Belyiderp Of the Vatican at
Rome. Between these two Meleagers
there is a good deal of difference, con.
siderable drarery and other accessor-
les appearing in the Vatican copy

Cambridge. Mass, March 20.-There
Are in this country several notable
collections of interesting objects, large

from Cyprus now in the Metropolitan
Museum Of Art, New York, the recent

Bartlett collection in the Boston Mu-
scum of Fine Arts. and the figurines
from Greek islands in the Chicago art
institute. The number of large-sized
