Those wlio to day an filling a large place in the world's regard will pass away' from the rememhranee of man in a few months,, or, at farthest, in a few years after tlie grave haa closed upon their remaina. We are shedding tears above a new- made grave and wildly crying out in our grief that our loaa ia irreparable, yet in a short time the tendrils of love have eut wiued around other supports, and wu no Longer miss the one who has gone. Bo lawsaes tlie world. But there arc Owwe to whom a loss is beyond repair. There are men from whose memories no womau'i smiles can chase recollections of the sweet face that has given up all its beauty at death's icy touch. There are women whose plighted faith extends beyond the grave, and drives away ah profane thoee who would entice them from a worship of their buried lovers. Such loyalty, however, is hidden away from the pubHo gaae. The world sweeps on beside and around them and cares not to look in upon this uuobtrudiug grief. It carves a line and rears a Btone over the dead and hastens uway to offer homage to the living. How Black's Hair Is Black. Judge Jero Black lias long woru a black wig.

The Bridge of Mlghs, The Bridge of Highs, which has been made famous by Byron iu "Childo Har old," is iu Venice. Criminals were con voyed across the bridge to hear their sentence, and from there led to their ex ecution ; from this it derives its melan choly Imt appropriate name. It imiy be explained that the Ducal Palace is connected on the east side by this bridge w ith the prisons. Buskin says of it, tjnit tho bridge is “n work of no merit, uml of late period, owing the interest it possesses chiefly to its pretty mime and tlie ignorant sentimentalism of Byron.” Howells speaks of it ns " That pathetic swindle, the Bridge of High* ;" and a traveler writing ol it sujs that the sigl ing company that crossed it must have been made up of " housebreitkeis, i ut-ptirsc knave* ami murder, rs,” and the name was given h> it “ by the people from that opulene. of compassion whioli'enables the Ital ians to pity even rascality in ihllieui- ties."

Sure it was no wonder when idl she loved upon earth was drip ping out his young life within a stone's- tbrow of her. When they saw it was of no use, they let tlie poor woman alone.

The Violin. IVrhapa (»/ all musical iustriunents the violin lias the greatest latent possibili ties : it may almost be suid to possess " a soul.” Oue dials not wonder at the pas sionate love felt for it by all the great Violinists; the most barbaric people pus sessed it iu its rudimeutal form, nnd drew mputhetio sound from some resonant board. It is easy to understand its ohfirut, for tlie harmony it prisluct-s is only hy direct communication between the performer and the strings. It is the human touch upon tlie chord which makes the tone ho human, and which carries, as it were, the very spirit of' tin- performer into ttie outer atmosphere There is no emotion that cannot lie ex pressed by it from the agitation >-f the passionate"heart It is tho divine quite of restful and oontented love. It is curi ous that this, the most musical of all instruments, should have htieu pclfectod by the least musical of people, for there H)i)M>ars to he no doubt that it was the oldest English instrument, nnd that the modern iiHiuc of violin is Imt an adapta tion of the old English word viele, whioh, in its turn, wu* u Norman cor ruption of the original Saxon “fvtliel," or feethel, which h eoming feci lei, was popularized us fiddle, and by Norman incapacity to pronounce the difficult 1 le," degenerated into the smooth viele. This is the etymology given in Ohappel's Popular Music, and is proba bly correct; or lie is as it may, repre sentations of the fiddle exist in'the old est carving and bas-reliefs of the Brit ish Isles. In tho time of Charles the First it became popular at Court, but it owed its later superiority to merry Charles II., for he introduced a special baud of violinists and made them play to him at table. Pepvs refers to it in his pedantic diary, and about the same time wo read of its introduction into churches, nn.l of the mauy objections raised to it* “toogreat liveliness,” which is arousing in the face ol a description of the snored siugiug of his tiim given by old Cornelius Agrippn, who says r "They sing, not with human voices, hut with the brutal noise of wild ln-a-sts, while the hoys whining the descant, others low out the tenor, others yelp the counterpoint, others, giuuh tln-iy troth ou the liu**, and although they make many sounds, no words or speech arc understood.” Even the despis -d fiddle, could hardly have done worse. — Albany Journal.
