SONG.
Hsw to the Line, let the auips fall whore they may.

| And though our castles vanish,
| Our dreams of them abide;
And none their grace can Danish,
And none their glory hide.
| Though all our ships Of treasure
Be lost in oceans vast,
| Some dream shall fill lifes measure
| With nectar, first and last.
| A LIBRARIAN conhdes to us that she Was
| visited by young lady who wished to see
| large map OF France. She was writing paper
on the battlehelds of France for culture club,
and she Just couldn't find Flanders Fields and
No Mans Land on any of the maps i'll her books.

REFERRING to Beethoven's anniversary,
Ernest Newman remarks that "a truly civilized
community would probably celebrate a centenary
by prohibiting all performances of the masters
works for three or FIVE years SO that the pub
lies deadenng familiarity with them might wear
off. That would be the greatest service it could
do him."
NEWMAN, by the way, is pano-player
fan, contending that when the principles OF beau
tiful tone production are understood, mechanical
means will probably come nearer to perfection
than the human hand. Mr. Arthur Whiting, con-
sderng the horseless pianoforte some time ago,
was also enthusiastic. The h. p is entirely SELF
turbability than the applauded virtuoso. After
a few introductory sounds, which have nothing
to do with the music. and without relaxing the
lines of its inscrutable face the nsensate artist
proceeds to show its power. Its security puts all
hand playing to shame: it never hesitates it sur
mounts the highest difficulties without changing

RHYMED DEVOTION.
When I'm away from you
The grass less verdant is, the sky less blue.
Less merrily the sunbeams dance along
The bobbing waves; the breeZe's evening song
Less sweety soothes Life takes a duller hue
When I'm away from you. CALCITROSUS.

SNOW.
BeIated farer's foot prints in the
Are silted over with soft.rustling flakes
Silencing silence, It'll spired spruce shakes
Its spiney shoulders and its long arms strow,
With nuffled thud the threatened overthrow
OF foamy burden. Now the World forsakes
It's vigil and with grasp relaxing breaks
The threads that pulled the puppets of its show.
No droning summers drowsiness could hum
Such q caressing dreamful lullaby
Nor in Lethean languor overcome
And kindly close each tired insomnious eye,
AS does this snow.blurred evenings low curfew:
That sleep-ward summons all thought not Of

TO AN INEXPERIENCED FRIEND.
You blame me for these ways of mine. so still
Ny lack of sunshine glancing restlessly,
Ny silent habit; you would cozen me
To feign Joy, that correspondent thrill
May move my mind. But what is pale and chill
To your young blood warm withal; what's free
To your high spirit would choose to flee.
We walk apart, low, you on the hill
And you mistake in judging all is grey
Where my breath flows Oh, have fire within
In light of which life opens like book
To now a merry, now a tragic play,
And woe see-and nobeness-and sin,
Till for my tears would no longer look. A. B.
