The butler entered the room just at
that moment, with a long white box in
his hand, which he offered to Nell with
one of his old-fashioned bows.
“I beg your pardon, Miss Nell,” he
said with grave dignity, “but this box
come while you and Miss Gertrude were
out driven, and I clean forgot it until
jest now.”
“Oh, that is all right, Peter,” Nell
replied, in an amiable tone. “I do not
suppose the fate of the nation hung on
its speedy deliverance.”
“Thank you, Miss Nell, ’ the old man
replied, as he turned and left the
room. “She is sho a kind-hearted
child,” he murmured to himself as he
went down the back hall, “and I reck

nuff to his sort of folks, if they want
no blood kin to him.”
Nell cut the strings with Mrs. More’s
embroidery scissors, which lay on the
table, and then quietly took off the lid.
“Oh, how lovely,” she exclaimed.
“How perfectly lovely! Look, Ger
trude,” she continued, as she extended
the box towards her friend, “Lilac or
chids and pink, on a green bed of
moss.”
“Who had the good taste to send it
to you?” Mrs. More inquired.
Nell, after a slight delay, found the
card in the box, and read it. “Would
you mind, Gertrude,” she said after a
long pause, “if I did not tell you?”
“Why, no,” Mrs. More returned, in
an amused tone, “I should not, because
I happen to know whose name is en
graved on that little bit of pasteboard.”
“Whose?” Nell inquired a trifle ici
ly.
“Wayland Hamilton,” Mrs. More an
swered. “No other man in town af
fects that long, narrow style of cards.
But, all the same,” she continued gay
ly, “I intend to put a spoke into his

“Why?” Nell asked, in a curiously

“Because, dear,” she answered, with
an intonation of tenderness, “variety

TWO VERSIONS OF A FAMOUS
DRAMA.

drops, and fall into the ocean —ne’er

and in his speech to Helen of Troy;
“Was this the face that launched a
thousand ships,
And burnt the topless towers of Il
ium?
Oh, thou art fairer than the evening
air
Clad in the beauty of a thousand
stars.”
Browning tells us “if you get simple
beauty, and naught else, you get about
the (best thing God has made,” and
Goethe seems to agree in his apos
trophe to Helen:
“For unto thee is the greatest boon
given;
The fame of beauty that all over-tow
ers —
Beauty —whose presence all things
subdues.”
But it is the English poet, whose
words embody the living image of
“sweet Helen.” With all the simplic
ity of narrative in Dr. Faustus, the ef
fect of terror, despair and remorse,
moving to pity and horror, in the clos
ing scenes of Marlowe’s masterpiece,
has never been surpassed in any liter
ature.
However, in the English poem is
nothing to equal the pathos of the
Margaret episode —Goethe’s original
conception. Even Shakespeare, in
all his picture galleries, has no por
trait parallel with this of the poor Ger
man peasant, who, in her very first
speech declares, “I am no lady, I am
not fair,” and yet through her all-ab
sorbing love, she is transfigured into
pure poetry. The story of Margaret,
so intense, so mournful, and over
powering, is not a single tragedy —but
is tragedy itself. It so overshadows
the rest of the play, as to be with
mast of us, the first thought suggested
by the mention of Faust.
Neither did the English writer por
tray so powerfully the personification
of evil as did Goethe in his extraordi
nary creation of Mephistopheles. En
tirely absent, too, is the witch element
reigning so wierdly and picturesquely
in the German drama. Indeed, the
German author, with the myriad-mind
edness of a Da Vinci, has given to the
world a work of art, which like an

unsolved problem constantly “lures
mankind to study it again and again.” i
In the light of Goethe’s genius, this 1
ancient legend veritably “mirrors of <
fleeting life the deep significance.”
Despite the sharp contrast between i
the two dramas, however, there is a
marked thread of similarity running i
through both. The further we read in ;
either, the deeper grows the impres- ;
sion that between the human magician <
and his diabolical assistant, there can
be no real congeniality. Edward <
Howard Griggs says, “It is both the 1
strength and the weakness of human
nature that it can not be merely and
consistently devilish.” So long as a 1
spark of its divine origin survives in i
the human soul, it must struggle to
ward the light. Though it seems the
destiny of some souls to pass through
a great darkness, before awakening to
the realization that “the fear of the !
Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” ;
The key to Faust’s salvation,, as <
Goethe himself tells us, is found in i
the lines: ,
“Saved is this noble soul from ill. *
Whoever i
Strives forward with unswerving will
Him can we deliver. To meet him <
Come down angels from above.” j
Another central thought in both
dramas, is the ever human yearning
tor an all-comprehending sympathy,
convincing each individual that only
“mankind together is the true man —■
the true type of the ideal.”
In some of his prose writings
Goethe says: “The world is so waste
and empty, when we figure only towns
and hills and rivers in it; but to know
of someone here and there, with whom
we accord, who is living on with us
even in silence, this makes our earthly
ball a peopled garden.”
For how many, even since his pen
was silenced, has not Goethe made of
this “peopled garden” an enchanted
region, “where the great voices sound,
where great visions dwell?”
