THE VALUE OF HOPE.
How drear a place the world would be

Permitted all the rest to see
The evidence of their diStressi
How fortunate 1t is that men
So often hide the griefS they bear
So often still try bravely when
Their breasts are laden with despair.
How few men ever would achieve
The victories that are so sweet
If each should let the world perceive
Whenever he had met defeat
How few men would be deemed sublime
By those whose hearts are moved to
song
II each sat grumbling every time
His heart ached or his plans went
wrong.
How little there would be to praise
How much to keep US plunged in gloom
IF each but waited all his days
To hear the dreadful crack of doom!
It's well that men conceal despair
When stubborn fate has used them i'll;
Why not, If you have woes to bear,
Assist by seeming hopeful still?

Won Buelow of Gentle Nature.

When first Won Buelow was introduced
to me I almost avoided him, on ac
count of the many stories of his
Feasibility. his cratic disposition, his
off hand treatment of the public, his
brutality toward musicians, and many
other crimes of this sort. On closer
acquaintance with the great pianist,
experienced some establishment to find
him man of strong mind, yet gentle
nature, enthusiastic, artistic to the
7nger-tips, and well-bred, though of an
exceedingly nervous temperament. Iras-
chile he might have been at times, but
am sure that the moments of ungov-
ernable anger were always provoked by
peoples stupidity or by some unpar-
donable mistakes in musical execution.
