Mb " ROBIN ADA1R '
Who that has ever heard or sung the
plaintive air of "Rubra Adair' will nut
be interested In lemming the true story
of the hero of the song i The hero of
Robin Adair was well kuuwn to the
London fashionable circles of the last
century by the sobriquet of the "'Fortu-
nate lrishtnut;" but his parentage and
the exact place of his birth are unknown.
He was brought up a surgeon, but "de-
tection in an early amour drove him
precipitately f ut Dnblin" to push his
fortune ut Enland. Scarcely had he
crowed the Channel when the chain of
the lucky events that ultitnately led hint
t, fume and fortune comwencud. Near
Holyhead, perceiving a carriage over-
turned, he ram to render assistance. The
sole occupant of this vehicle was a "lady
of fashion, well kuowu in i:oltte circle.,'
who received Adair s attentions with
thanks; and being slightly hurt, and
hearwg he was • surgeon, requested him
to travel w,th her in her carriage to Lon-
don. On arriving in the metropolis she
presented him with • fee of a hundred
gains, and gave atm • general invita-
tion to her hoagie in after life Adair
used to say that a was not ro mach the
amount of hr fee, but the time It was

iedsee the yeses lady to alter her nund
but without edest. Adair s hw,grapber
tells as that " waeemeea, s Long tour-
ney, an advantageous oiler, and other
common [,Hodes of shaking off what was
considered by the family as an improper
match, were already tried, but in vast;
the health of Lady Caroline was evident-
ly impaired, and the family at last con -
teemed, with a good sense that reflects
honor on their understanding as well as
their hearts, that it was possible to pre-
vent, but never to dissolve an attachiu. •t;
and that marriage was the honorable, and
indeed only alternative that could secure
her happiness in life." When Lady
Caroline was taken by her friends from
London to Bath, that she Wright be se-
parated from her lover, she wrote, it is
said, the song of " Robin Adair" and set
it to a plaintive tune that she had heard
him sing. Whether written by Lady
Caroline or not, the song is simply ex-
pressive of her feelings at the time, as it
completely corroborates the circumstances
just related, which were the town talk of
that period, though now little more than
family tradition, there can be no doubt
they were the origin of the song.
THE ART OF PUBLIC SPEAKING.
From The Whitehall Review.
"You ask me," said Dr. Parker, "to
define the essentials of oratory. That
would not be easy. In my opinion, for
a preacher or speaker to produce the pro-
per effect it is necessary that his voice
harmonize with the building in which he
is speaking. Acoustics have generally
been subordinated to aesthetic consider-
ations by modern architects. For in-
stance, before I came to London I had a
magnificent Gothic church in Manches-
ter, and Dr. Norman Macleod came
there to preach for me. Before he went
into the pulpit I warned him to begin
softly and m conversational tone, so as
to feel the scoastic quality of the build-
ing. 'But,' he rejoined, 'if I speak so I
shall never be heard in this vast church.'
'If you neglect my advice,' I replied,
'you won't. That is certain.' Well, he
began as I had instructed him, the result
being that he was heard perfectly. "
"You are opposed to Gothic buildings,
then, for church purposes?"
"For preaching, yea I admire Mr.
Newman Hall's group of buildings at
Lambeth immensely. They are an ar-
chitectural onamont to the south side
of London. But, when I preached
there ext the occasion of the opening, I
was heard but imperfectly, whereas in
the City Temple I need never exert my
lungs If 1 speak in • whisper I am
heard in every corner of that large build-
"Perhaps that is because you preach
and do not read 1"

THE HURON SIGNAL, FRIDAY, OCTOI3ER 29, MO
"On the eoateary, t mahatma that me
preachers of any uummuautn have equal-
led or excelled those of the Church of
England The characteristics of the
Chu oh preaching is its deep devotion,
a quality 1 esteem far more highly than
any other in a preacher "
"Bishop Wilberforce, 1 suppose, one
might quote as • perfect exemplar
of Artgl.cait oratory 7'
"He was indeed grand an orator
without a rival."
"And Mr. Gladstone?"
"He is a charming speaker. He flows
li :e a smooth current, and carries one
easily with 1 iin. I value Mr. Gladstone
as the first of living orators."
"Superior to Mr. Bright !"
"It is perhaps unfair to contrast the
sparkling stream with the deep, tul
river. My admiration for .luhn Bright
knows no bounds.'
"You have had Dean Stanley at the
City Temple; was he acceptable to your
people
"He was :nsautedly moat acceptable to
mu. He speaks in rather a low tone
and uecasiorally hesitates fora word,but
what :le lois to say- is well worth listen-
'ing to, and I '.ave been more than once
atttouished at the adroit way in which he
hes extrtuated himself from a rhetorit:al
tangle by selecting the very word he re-
quired.
"
One word inure, Dr. Parker, before
I leave. I ,lave been told by speakers
sad prvarhers that such interruptions as
neighing, walking about and other noises
are fatal to oratory. Do you entertain
that opuuon t"
" 1 am out affected by anything of the
krtd In fact, I am rather of the opin-
ion of the California miner. You know
Ube duty e'
" There was a theatrical performance
an San Francisco; a baby in the gallery
began to scrasch so loudly that the actors
were quite thrown out, and the manager,
to drown the child's cries, bade the or-
chestra strike up a loud tune, whereupon
a miner, who had just come in, shouted
out, ' Here' I say, stop them darned
fiddles. I haven't heard a baby's voice
for seven years !"
Too Lara —What sad words! Too
late to ask pardon for unkind speeches
or ungenerous actions. Too late to offer
the helping hand to bear the weary bur-
den, or offer words of kindness to cheer
the sad heart, to make amends fur
wrongs done, whether intentionally or
not. When the clay covers from our
sight the form and face so dear, how
many thtngs we regret. We remember
words that were spoken, as we thought
kindly, chat, had we been able to forsee
the future, would have been uttered
very differently. How many a jest
would have been unexpressed, how many
frowns smoothed away, how many harsh
accents made tender. When we look on
the work of hands now grown cold for-
ever, or gaze on the garments no more
filled out by the loved form, when mem-
ory pictures the presence of the dear ones
in the scenes where they once moved,
and recalls the tones we will hear no
more in this life, oh, how terrible are
those little words : Too late !
Sixty men have been discharged from
the Ontario Car Works, London.
The trial of Collin and Sullivan for the
murder of Lord Mountmorris has been
postponed until November.
Gladstone has apparently recovered all
the v' r of which his severe illness rob-
bed hila He takes long walks daily in
the neighborhood of Iiawarden Castle,
and is said to look remarkably strong and
well.
The Marquis of Lorne and a numer-
ous suite have been duck shooting in On-
tario, and in the two days the fourteen
sportsmen bagged 1,142 ducks. The
Governor-General showed himself to be
not only an adept in the art of extract-
ing merriment from "roughing it," but
else a crack shot, for his more was 115
ducks, the largest but one.

Having learned from my personal friend, the Hon. Alexander Macken-
zie, who has lately passed through your town, that you keep THE LARGEST AND LENT
STOCK. OF DRY 000De IN GODERICH, and that you sell very cheat,, I wish to make
arrangements with you to supply the men working on the C. P. R. R. They will
require piles of Shirts and Drawers, also Over -coats, Tweeds, Cloths, Flannel and

I learn with deep regret that you still have a large number of Refonuers in
that section of Canada, and as I know they are wonderful people for cheap goods, I
fear that even the N. P. won't prevent them from buying you out before my re-
