Then the French fleet re turned the visit French sallors ashore were so plentiful that the current slang for a foreigner in London is still “one o' them entente cordialers.” Then the British fleet salled into the Baltio—with a chip on its shoulder, if the truth were known— Meanwhile an American float sailed for France to bring home the body of John Paul Jones.

It Has Many Strings a apd Gives Forth Sweet Melodies as Well as Dis- cordant Sounds. Human life might appropriately be denominated a harp of many strings visible and invisible, capable of giving forth sweetest melodies, or, If out ol fuse, discordant sounds These strings are visible and invisible. The luvisl ble strings are those of the senses, the eye, car, ele, upon which the divine musician plays Indirectly through the medium of our malural environment When properly attuned, there are pre sented to us visions of fragrant flow ers, blue skies, and landscapes of beau ty; are heard the music of Singing birds, laughing brook, and the voices of loving friends—in a word we live in a world sparkling with beauty and teeming with happiness. If out of tune, just the opposite is true. Now we be hold a world in which leaden skies, darker days, ete, are in the majority— a world in which self-centered spirita would seem to be justified In turning “prophets of despondency and com: plaint,” and reechoing the words of that New York politician, who, stand ing at the close of a misspent life, has recently exclaimed “It is not worth the while.” ‘Having eyes they see not, and ears they hear not.” The visible strings are those of mem ory. will, consclousness, elc., upod which the divine musiclan plays 4} rectly. When in tune, all about us may be seen the sunshine of lives filled with peace of mind, joy of heart, and con tentment of life, who find constant de light in uttering kind words and per forming kind acts and deeds. To them the world is Indeed bright, joyous and happy. Others there are (what a pity there are so many) whose experience is just the opposite of this. As they set it, the world Is full of selfish, grasping monsters, ready to take every advan: tage of their fellows. It is a case of every man's hand being against his neighbor.
