Life-what is Life? To do, without avail, The decent ordered tasks of every day : Talk with the sober: join the solemn play; Tell for the hundredth time the self-same tale Told by our grandsires in the self-same vale Where the sun sets with even, level ray, And nights, eternally the same, make way For hueless dawns, intolerably pale. And this is Life? Nay, I would rather see The man who sells his soul in some wild cause: The fool who spurns, for momentary bliss, All that he was and all that he thought to be: The rebel stark against his country's laws: God's own mad lover, dying on a kiss. -London Fortnightly Review.

Stage Asides -Fanny Kemble once gave a most amusing instance of the extent to which "stage whispering" may be carried on unknown to the audience. It was in a well-known theater, and "Romeo and Juliet " was the play. Romeo was at the words (stage version, not Shakespeare's), "Quick let me snatch thee to thy Romeo's arms," when he pounced upon her, and lifting her up bodily staggered down the stage. "Let me go," she whispered, "you've got me up The horribly; let me down," but all in vain. climax came at the passage, "Tear not my heartstrings thus; they break, they crack, Juliet" (still the stage version), when JULIET (to corpse): "Am I smothering you?" CORPSE: "Not at all; but could you, do you think, be so kind as to put my wig on again for me?-it is falling off.” JULIET (to corpse): "I am afraid I can not; but I'll throw my muslin veil over it. You have broken the vial, have you?" CORPSE: "No, indeed." JULIET: "Where's the dagger?" CORPSE: "Pon my soul, I don't know." All these "asides" went on unknown to the audience in the very crisis of the tragedy.-Tit-Bits. Its Use.

Ben Franklin's He silenced his critics by Wit. pointing a moral regarding flour. An incident showing the remarkable keeuness of Benjamin Franklin's wit happened about 1730, while publishing the Pennsylvania Gazette. Some of his ri i patrons had taken offense at the policy of his paper, and so Franklin invited them to sup with him and talk the matter. er. The repast consisted of a pitcher of water and two puddings made of flour of the entire wheat"sawdust, as it was called in those days. His fastidious friends did not seem t relish this fare, which gave him a chance to point his moral.
