GREAT ARTIST'S KINDNESS. Ellen Beach Yaw, the young primp donna, who is to visit Canada shortly, while crossing the Atlantic a few mouths ago, went forward ono day to the ship's bow, that she might better observe the effect of the sun's ray's upon the water. To do this it was necessary to pass a number of steerage passengers, coal heavers and servants, mostly Italians, engaged in playing and singing for their own amusement. Upon the approach of the fatuous singer, these poor people, re- cognizing her, immediately ceased their music, and made room for her to pass, Intending in respectful silence es she did so, Obeerving this, she addressed them in their own langugae, the Italian, re- questing them not to allow her to dis- turb their diversions, saying she was very -fond of their music. On returning, she found them again engaged in playing and singing, in the original, a selection front an Italian Opera. Without a mo- ment's hesitation she joined in the sing- ing, and immediately she was engaged In a heart to heart and hand to hand touch with these swarthy sons and daughters of Italy. Nothing can describe their apparent joy at this sudden good fortune and as the world-renowned artist finally with- drew, bowing her thanks and acknowl- edging her gratitude, these joyous crea- tures filled the air with heart repetitions of their favorite "bravos," WHAT SHE SAiD.

Phillips Brooks once preached a ser. mon from the text, "Who passing through the valley of 'aneeping snake it a well." He said that there were two ways of treating sorrow. One may say, "This that I have to bear is ]card, but the clouds will break and there will come better days. Compensation is in store for me. It may not lie in this world, but some time it will all be mode up to me." Or ho may say, "I will do just what Scripture tells me to do. I will make ofd my valleys of weeping, well -springs of joy. I will turn sadness into occaolone for rejoicing," The apos- tle says, "In everything give thanks." Assuredly we cannot be thankful for everything, but in every experience that manes to us we may find some reason for giving thanks.
