its theme OF immortal beauty: the love-

The symphonic Poem "Tasso' or List

thematic material is not for the pure

Don't Worry.

What blessed thing it is that we
can forget To days troubles look
large, but week hence they will be
forgotten and buried out of sight.
Says one writer: elf you would
keep a book and daily put down the
things that worry you, and see what
becomes of them, it would benefit
you. You allow a thing to annoy
you, just as you allow fly to set
tie on you and plague you; and you
lose your temper and you justify
yourself by being thrown off your
balance by causes which you do not
trace out. But if you could see what
it was threw you off your balance be-
fore breakfast, and put it down in a
little book, and follow it up and fol-
low it out, and ascertain what be-
comes of it, you would see what
fool you we're in the matter" The
art of forgetting is blessed art, but
the art of overlooking is quite as i'm
portant. And it we should take time
to write down the origin, progress
and outcome of few of our troubles,
if would make US so ashamed of the
fuss we make over them, that we
should be glad to drop such things
and bury them at once in eternal for
getfulness. Life is too short to be
worn out in petty worries, frettings,
hatreds and vexations.
