Shakespeare in a Hurry.

The following good story has been
told of Edwin Booth:
Once. during the days of his early
struggles, Booth was barn storming"
down in Virginia, at q place called
Lees Landing. The improvised theater
was n tobacco warehouse, and it was
crowded by the planters for miles
around. Booth and his companions
had arranged to take the weekly
steamer expected to call late at night,
and between the acts were busy pack
ing up. The play was 1.-The Merchant
of Venice" and they were just going
on for the trial scene when they heard
a whistle and the manager came rum
ming in to say that. the steamer had
arrived, and would leave again in ten
minutes. AS that was their only chance
for i. week OF getting away they were
in Il terrible quandary.
IF we explain matters" said the
manager, they will think they are
being cheated, and we shall have a
free fight. The only thing is for you
fellows to get up some sort Of natu-
ra!-like impronnptu ending for the
piece. and ring down the curtain. Go
RICH ahead, ladies' and gentlemen. and
take your cue from Ned here" and he
hurried away to get the luggage aboard.
Ned, of course, was Bassanio, and
he resolved to rely on the ignorance
of the Virginians Of those days TO
pull him through all right So. when
old George Ruggles-who was doing
Shylock-began to sharpen his knife
on his boot, Booth walked straight up
to him and solemnly said:

FATHER RYAN As A POET.
A consresationaIist Minister'S Tribute
to "The Apostle Of Mysticism"


In Baltimore on Sunday evening last
Rev. DIR. Oliver Huckel, pastor of Assoc
ciatc Congregational Church. preached
the third of y series of sermons or
Spiritual Lessons from the Southern
Poets.'' His subject was Father Ryan.
He said in part:
Father Ryan is the most religious
poet of the south. Lanier was musician,
philosopher, scientist, even in his verse.
Poe was cOnsummate artist, Il melo-
dist of the most exquisite witchery.
Hayne is full Of wOodcraft and the pure
love of literature. Key is a patriotic
lawyer and theological hymnist of the
noble sort. But Father Ryan in his
verse seems to know nothing but the.
human heart and God. Every line is
charged and surcharged with religious
feeling Religion is his very atmos-
phere. his life.
Father Ryan is an apostle Of mys-
ticism in religion. and this fact want
especially to emphasize in his life as
being most truthfully suggestive to us.
He was II spil ;tual mystic. and as suca
can help many of us in our lives. For
mysticism is still as much needed III
religion as theology or philanthropy.
We owe much to the great mystics in
religion. They call us back to some
great truths.
! Mysticism s. the heart and essence
Of religion. II is penetrating to the
inner Joys and strength of the divine
life, whereas good works may be merely
the outward living OF n religion of pre-
cepts and commandments. Mysticism Is
one step beyond faith. 1t enters the
realm OF the intuitions and the spir-
| itual consciousness. 1t is more than
divine reason; it is divine imagination.
Mysticism is conscious union and COM
munion with God.
The z. eatest of Father Ryan's poems
is his famous Song of the Mystic. 1t
is ii confession of his mystic faith. 1t
haunts che like the strange enchant-
ncnt OF Schubert's 'Serenade' or the
weird wonder If Handlers Largo. 1t Is
"a comment on the ancient words. BE
still and know that l am God 1t re-
vc:,ls the value of solitude and silence.
1t tells us that sometimes we ought to
shut out the world entirely and with
draw into the quiet. and there find in
our own hearts n Valley of Silence,
where God may speak ana show to us
things unutterable"

The fact that the Cathedral is the old

interest

some things have been definitely de-
cided upon.

Turning the crank with his faithful
hands.
Bent and wrinkled. yet strong and
To the daily duty tits his to do.
The sun may shine. or the clouds may
July be torrid. December cold,
Yet there. in his suit of well-worn
brown,
Keeping with steady, tireless brain
"A watch for the inbound, outbound
train,
He signals the passage of each

AS with ''Tin}sle!" and "Tinkle:" the
gates go, down.
How the waiting children caper and
dance.
And the restless horses curvet and
prance!
How the servant maids, upon elrands
bent.
View the intruders with discomfort
While heavy car and elegant coach
Rumble along on the shining rails,
And on the busy ones time encroach
With the vexing burden delay entails.
AS, mindful of duty's stern command,
In spite of impatience, or fret, or
frown,
The gateman puts to the crank his
hand,
And. steadily turning, the gates go
down.
Oh! I would that OH every road today,
Where sin and its train hold right of
way.
Some gateman us ready as this might
stand.
Turning the crank in his faithful
hand
That ever when danger should threat

Whose path must cross the enticer's
track
Some gate a-tinkle night interpose., !,
And hold from disgrace the weak ones
back
Some safeguard be built for unwary
feet,
To halt them midway in the perilous
street,
And to signal to each. spite of fret or
frown,
Stand back for your life, while the
gates are down."

IRELAND A NATION.

John sweetman Quotes Douglas Hyde
on independence.
The following letter from Mr. John
Sweetinan has appeared in the Dublin
Freeman's Journal of January 81:
sir-Mr. Long in one OF his recent
speeches. objected that Home Rule
might mean anything or nothing. and
then he said: but there was one
statement about Home Rule that was
perfectly clear, and that was that it
meant ireland as a Nation. Home Rule
meant that Ireland a Nation would be
free to work ont her own destiny, to
control her own affairs" This evident
ly- seemed to MIR. Long. and to his
supporters. to be the height of impu-
dence on the part of Irishmen. and
he seemed to believe that this was not
the doctrine that the Irish Parlia
mentary Party prOfcssed in England.
Ireland ii Nation. however, is the doe
trinc with which we must inspire Irish
men If we do not wish to see the people
Of Ireland disappear altogether. The
custom of ignoring the fact that there
is such IL thing such an entity. as an
Irish Nation is what is destroying the
country. Each individual then thinks
only of himself. takes 10 pride in his
nation. and, therefore. is careless as to
whether the country degenerates into
an uninhabited wilderness. provided he
can obtain II post under the British
Government. or else he abaIplons his
country altogether. as rats do sinking
ship.
There IS no other place in the world
where a man looks down on everything
in his own country. An Englishman Is

for himself. thinks also Of his nation.

they have no right to be a nation. and
/; for this very reason they have failed.
The Gaelic League Is beginning to
correct this feeling. and is teaching
lrishmen to take pride in something
exclusively Irish-namely. its language.
and this leads them to wish to preserve
the Irish Nation itself.

words Douglas Hyde gives us the true
note, as the leader of Young Ireland
who is feeling it's strength. The Eng
lish Government, whether Wing or
Tory, cannot destroy the Gaelic League,
no matter how much it may wish to
do so.
That movement has shown Ireland
that she has soul, n vivifying essence,
that forms her into nation, and that
she does not merely consist of a num-
Der of exiled Englishmen living as a
garrison in Ireland. OF course, there
are still plenty Of such men in Ireland.
Sir Thomas Robinson said lately in
supporting Mr.. Long III Kingstown:
."They have been called contemptuously
the British garrison in Ireland. He was
not one hit ashamed to admit that they
were the garrison Of Ireland. He dio
not think. notwithstanding the results
