yourself and me, even because Ii has
rather pleased Him to take the child to
Himself in heaven than to leave it
here with us still on earth. When
mused on the matter as nature, flesh
and fatherly fantasy would carry me,
| found nothing but sorrows and care.
You well remember our continual
wish and desire our nightly prayer to-
gether, that God would vouchsafe us
to increase the number of the world .
we wished that nature should beauti-
fully perform the work by US. We did
talk together how to bring up our
child in learning and virtue. We had
care to provide for it, so as honest
fortune should favor and follow 1t. And
see, sweet wife, how mercifully God
hath dealt with us in all these points,
for what wish could desire, what pray
er could crave, what virtue could de-
serve, what fortune could perform both
we have received and our child doth en-
joy already. To this, in short, ought we
not to submit to Gods good will and
pleasure, and thereafter to rule our
affections, which / doubt not but is pre-
pared for you. Your dearly loving hus-
band. ROGER ASCHAM'
The last years of Roger Ascham' were
spent in poverty and i'll health. He
struggled yainly, 1t seems, to have pro-
vided a respectable living for himself,
wife and family with his pen. He died
at the age of 55; on December 80, 1868.
Queen Elizabeth. on hearing of his
death, exclaimed that she would rather
have cast $4,000 into the sea than have
lost her Ascham.
OF the career of Ascham's widow aft
er his death little Is known. An un-
printed letter from her to Queen Eliza
beth at Hatfield, dated March, 1882,
proves her to have been still living
then.

ROGER AscHAM TO HIS WIFE

Roger Ascham the famous English
author, was born in 1916. He referred
to his father as "the wisest of men,"
and he inherited an abundance of his
talent, for Roger was exceptionally
brilliant as youth. He was 80 years
of age when he married Margaret
Howe, and writing to his friend, John
Sturm at the time, he speaks in high
praise of his wife's beauty, and in a
later letter to Queen Elizabeth he de-
scribes her as very young compared
with himself, who was now well slept
into years"
Ascham, in letter written in Jan
uary, 1854, refers to his wife as fol-
lows: God, thancke Him, hath given
me such an one as the lesse she seeth
l doe for herr the more towing in all
causes she is to me-" and adds that
hitherto she hath founde rather a
loving than a, luckye husband unto
her" -.' ts...........
Ascham was the teacher of Queen
Elizabeth in her girlhood, and of Lady
Jane Grey, and these two princesses
seem to have been favorite pupils of
his. for he cannot speak too highly of
their learning and studiousness. His
marriage seems to have been a happy
one.
The following is an example of the
endearing style with which he would
address his wife. e-5z, .=.
mine Own Good Margerite. The
more 1 think on your sweet babe as l
do at times, both day and night, the
greater cause l find for giving thanks
continually to God for His goodness
bestowed at this time upon the child,

Watching for Chance to Help

co-operate-in this alone can one judge
the atmosphere the artistic conditions in
a community"
do you think this obtains in our city,"
| suggested
Absolutely" said Mr. Gunster. "Nobly
have the women labored for the cause
of music, willingly do they strive; grad
ually have our men awakened to the fact
that good music makes better, brighter,
purer city, until today in ever increasing
numbers they rally to the call of the
great refiner-music Most emphatically
have We progressed"
In conclusion Mr.. Gunster said:
THE question of the auditorium is one
of great import to Birmingham. The
business men deserve the thanks and ap-
probation of everybody in this town for
making the auditorium reality. 1t will
mean tremendous things for Brming-
ham musically. The time Is not yet ripe
for us to have grand opera, but with the
completion of the auditorium there is ne
rea son why the various artists of the
Metropolitan company who come south tn
present opera each spring cannot be en-
gagged to come here and give concerts,
and then eventually such affairs will re-
solve into grand opera"
