OUR SATURDAY NIGHT.
By viii II. Tunnard.

the light of day steps into the
embrace of night on softest SHIP
pers of list. Beyond the purple
rim of hills it paints its roseate
hues upon the sky as twilight,
soft and diIu, has her outspread
curtain pinned with the diamond
rays of the evening star. As the
fading light of the descending
sun paints its colors on the
horizon, thus twilight fair draws
her dainty robes around her

As the radiant picture sinks
into the brow of night, as darker
grows its dusky presence, it decks
its azure robes with glittering
stars that bespangle them with
the sparkling rays of their
glowing and bejeweled splendor,
and still descending upon the
earth becomes the fair regent of
the sky.
Peace spreads her white wings
upon the landscape fair and
silence floats with noiseless
wings through the empty-vaulted
darkness. 1t brings calmness to
the homes of the toilers of earth,
who win spirits light from its
peaceful rest and the riches of
health and enjoyment. 1t dark

sHow beautiful is night!
A dewy freshness fills the silent air;
No mist obscures; nor cloud, nor speck, nor
stain,
Breaks the serene of heaven;
In full-orbed glory yonder moon divine,
Rolls through the dark blue depths;
Beneath her steady ray

School Exercises.

The closing exercises of the city
schools began last Wednesday
night with a musical recital by
Mr.. Ownby's class. The names
of the class were given in last
weeks Commercial, and we would
like to mention each with the
praise that is due, but it may be
equally as proper to say that every
one Of them showed the evidences
of skillful instruction and train
ing and the value of intelligent
practice. The piano and violin
numbers were all good and the
large audience assembled at the
opera house were free and gener-
Gus in approval. Mr.. Ownby has
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1907-05-17

given his life to the study of
music and teaching methods under
some of the leading native and
foreign masters. He is thorough,
patient, painstaking, fully alive
and wholly ambitious in his work,
and the results accomplished have
been truly remarkable. The music
department Of the City High School
is in capable and worthy hands.
The second part of the program
was under the care of Mrs. /. D.
Edwards, comprising some oper-
eta sketches, with characters as
published in last weeks paper.
These were highly entertaining.
The remaining exercises of the
schools will appear in next weeks

Shelley and His Desertlon of His Wife.

Chatter about Harriet is almost in
separable from an article on Shelley.
1t occupies it's expected place IN an
article on the poet which George L..
Knapp writes in the September Lip
pincott This critic finds eXtenuating
circumstances and states his case in
geniOusly thus:
The chief thing on which Shelley's s
enemies have relied to Smirch his re-
putation is his desertion of his first
wife. | have no defense to offer for
that act. No decent defense is pos
sible There were extenuating c1rcum-
stances, Of cOurse--there always are
for anything Harriet Westbrook had
undoubtedly done the major part of the
courting, and while this is perfectly
legitimate, it is seldom good policy
Shelley had never pretended to be
deeply in love with Harriet, and he
was passionately in love with Mary
Goodwin. Harriet mad not been the
best of wives or mothers: she was
wholly unsuited to be Shelley's life
mate, and she insisted on the presence
In their home of her sister Eliza, VINO
seems to have been an intOlerabie
nuisance. But, after all, these things
have little or nothing to do with the
matter. Harriet was Shelleys wife;
she was the mother of one of his chill
dren, and was about to become the
mother of another. The least he could
decently do was to wait until the child
was born and the mother safe. and
then, if need be, apply for divorce. He
would not have cot tit cost a deal
Of money and more political influence
to lobby a divorce through the House
of Lords in those days, but Shelley
owed it both to his wife and to Mary
Goodwin to try. His whole behavior
was wrong, pitiably wrong. and is
saved from absolute rneannesS only
bv the frankness with which he avoW
ed his intentions, and the freedom
with which re provided for Harriets
support Fortunately, one swallow
does not make a summer, and one
wrong does not fix character If we
would give fewer halos to our saints
and fewer stripes to our sinners, it
would be fairer to both parties and
better for ourselves. Had ST. Angus
tine died as early as did Shelley he
would have been remembered, If at
all. only as q rather clever and utterly
dissoIute rake. ST. Augustine eXpiat-
ed his youthful faults hv a life of
piety, grand and inspiring, but so lined
with savage intolerance that it may
fairly be said he harmed the world
for his serious error by g life whose
rare beauty and usefulness was IRA

his life with Mary Goodwin was an

BRUNHILDE'S PAYING GUEST


Author of Across the Campus.
Frontispiece in color, IL mo, 34S pages
S1.5O, New York: The Century co.
There are no romances like the ro-
mances of the South no sentiment
like the Southern sentiment for nome
and family and friend and faithful
servant; and here is IA charmingly told
tale of how certain fine youths and
maidens came into their own
An energetic, assured young man
from New York seeks health and rest
in Carolina town. where an i'm
poverishable household Of three de-
lightfuI Southern women accept him
as t..eir first paying guest" Used to
the obsequious ways and self-efface-
ment of the Northern landlady, the
Yankee youth has some difficulty in
adjusting himself to the gentle hauteur
and mild tyranny of his prideful hos
tess. He quarrels with her on first
sight, and even when he falls in love
with this modern Brunhilde they con-
tinue to war. It turns out that John
is a Southerner, with a tum down
estate waiting his coming; and the
call of his own claims him.
It is not a book of single love-
story. far from it: every pretty South
ern girl in the book-and there are
several Of them-has her lovers; and
comedy to tragedy till the book might
appropriately be titled "Courtin' Days
In Carolina 1t IS a delightful COM
pound Of laughter, tenderness, and
tears, a story exhaling the very spirit

The man friends of the Rev. John
Deal, OF Franklin. will be interested in
a pam nhlet he has recently published
entitled The Hill Billv." This is the
taineer and Mr.. Deal states in the be-
ginning of his article that he is IN ig-
norance as to the why's and where
fores of tho name and does not know
whether the name has been used as
q term of reprOach or was intend ed
as a compliment. But every one Who
knows anything about the history OF
Western Carolina has heard of Mr..
Deals life and devotion as a pioneer
preacher to the people in the noun
tains of North Carolina. He brings
out the strong points of the noun
taineer as genuine Anglo-Saxon,
showinr how many of them keep the
old forms of speech. the old pronun-
citation With the strong plural and
their many quaint sayings. Mr.. Deal
also brings out the mountaineers' love
of freedom and his independence and
courage In the close of the article
Mr.. Deal says that it is not often the
case that you can help a man by
laughing at him, so he has purposely
omitted many things of a ludicrous
worth relating. After telling some
thing of Illicit distilling he speaks of
one defendant some time ago on trial
in the Federal court. He was being
worried and brow-beaten by the prose-
cutting attorney. The accused for q
few minutes seemed utterly crestfallen
and on the point of confessing. AT
length the lawyer asked: ls ynur
name Joshua? Yes. sir; it IS: was the
reply. Are you the Joshua that made
the sun stand still? No, sir; am
the Joshua that made the moonshine.
Thus It is, as stolid as he may seem.

retort is ever ready.-Asheville Ca
