It was high tide: The rocks where I had stood were buried deeply in the sea, There they abide, Through a thousand thousand years of time. OBSERVATIONS. It is easier to teach men to face death .than to live without reproach. Fear is keener of sight than misery, and quickly sees a foe where misery ought to detect a friend. Thousands of people who smile at the illusions and dreams of youth, are wasting the vigour of manhood in pursuing the I equally unsubstantial and far less beautiful shadows of wealth and station and pride. It is more dangerous to call immorality by its right name than to practice it. There is no sadder day in life than that in which a man looks back at the ideal he formed, instead of forward to it. It is one of the compensations of life that the memories of pain are not painful. What men call mercilessness is a feature in all their conceptions of God, for it is an obvious part in the scheme of nature. He only is safe who i8 defended by the poor. A man fully armed and in a strong place shall find the poor, if they oppose him, too strong for him. Nothing deceives liars so completely as the truth. The man who imitates his fellows is easily understood by the crowd, but he who is true to his own rat-i-tre can only be understood by the few who study him carefully. Men rejoice over victories and grieve over defeats which trimo swiftly obliter- ates. They forget that it is not what ft man wins, or what he loses, but what he is. that counts. The gentlest of tendencies that persists is stronger than the most violent effort that speedily dies away MIRACLES. Men want God to work miracles for them- To do tasks which thev think are wonder- ful- As if the earth and sea and all the stars Were not wonderftil-,v., if birth and life And all-embracing death, and growth and love And wayside flowers, and speech and flight of birds, And light and dark, were not all miracles— Most wonderful—worked every day by God, Who makes and keeps his vast and shining worlds In ways that are a constant miracle. WHEN ONE DROPS OUT. I attended four of the concerts at the Leeds Musical Festival. During one of the grandest of the choruses a chorister went out, but I did nt. detect any diminution in the glorious volume of sound. The one singer was not missed by me and apparently was not missed by the other choristers or by the audience. Then I began to wonder how many of the singers would have to drop out of the chorus and how many of the instruments would have to be silenced before I would mi&s them. Perhaps the conductor misced that one chorus girl, and it is possible that I lost eome delicacy, or fullness, or sweet- ness that I was not mentally conscious of losing. You know, we have sensibilities far keener than our means of expression, or even of our mental consciousness. We are attracted or repelled, made joyous or sad, by subtle flinging? and repulsions that defy analysis. So to speak, the one singer goes out from our life's chorus and we do npt consciously miss, the voice, but our soul is aware of the difference, although it can- Il9t; communicate the difference to the mind. There are strange and subtle soul bereavements that the external throng knows nothing of. Even when we do know what has been taken away are we not often ashamed to say? The soul shrinks from exposure. There shall be lacking something in a caress that makes all the difference, and yet you may never be able to tell what it is. The mind does not know, but the soul is aware, and although the soul is dumb it would know if that something were added and would leap in response. I wondered whsn r he one chorus singer went out how it would be if another fol- lowed and then another and then another Until at last there was, no chorus. There is a measure of sound that more than fills our capacity to hear, just as there is a measure of sound that i.f., beyond or below our capacity to hear. We are not all of one capacity. What is true of sound is probably true of vision, of sensation, and of emotion. Take sight, for instance. We are in the light—light beyond what the eye can re- ceive. Some of the light is removed and the eye does not miss it. More is re- moved and at length the eye misses it. But before the eye can measure the loss the soul has become. aware of the lessened brightness. If just before the eye began to note the loss of light the full glory were suddenly renewed even the eye would bo aware of accession. Our faculties are slow and imperfect compared with the deft swiftness of the soul, but they vary greatly in acuteness and their sensibility is not to be measured by the impression they make on the mind or by the expression they provoke. I listened to the chorus — I think it would be more accurate to say that I felt the chorus-and I wondered why the voices and the instruments blended, and what it I' was that vibrated through singers and players and listeners. There was mystery in it. There was pathos and pleading in it. I sat there and wondered. It seemed to me that it was the eternity behind us and ahead of us that gave significance to the music—that inspired both per- formers and listeners. All the hidaen past and all the- hidden future and all the incon- prehensible present was voiced in the choruses and made intelligible. Performer and listener, so to speak, declared that life is awful and grand in its awfulness; that love and hate, and ambition and long- ing, and high endeavour, and failure, and los3 and suffering, and tragedy hem us in and fence us round. The music said for us what we all dumbly folt and we were ex- ultant or sacl. The chorus marched on. The separate voices and instruments were indistingiush. able, except now and then for a moment or two. It was like life. The individual performer was of no apparent consequence, and yet the grand result was the effect of combined individual effo,.t. There was only one utterance, but there were hun- dreds of voices. The something that lay behind the utterance was something that the music did not express, but only pointed at—something deep down in each of our hearts that we know of and recognise when the musician gives it form and voice- something that we have been seeking ex- pression for in marble, and brass, and music, and poetry, and noble deeds, and ■ fc-C- I enunciation, and patient suffering—some- thing that we catch glimpses of at rare intervals in the faces of children, in the volet-s of those whom we love, in the wide expanse of mountain ranges, in the shelterless, wind-swept sea, in the nlence of two whose hearts are twin. Who shall say what it is that vies behind all human utterance, behind all human endeavour, behind all human love, behind all human soaring: is it not what we call our immortality-our divineiiess--our God- ,LSI)il.inp oneness. We are as old as the world. We have been ages and ages in perfecting our medium of expression, and even yet we can only by means of most exquisite music point vaguely to the something which, as yet. we cannot say—to the something which, if it were once fully said, we should die in sheer ec-stacy. We could not bear it. Silently the chorus singer who dropped out came back agajn, but I could not detect any increase in the volume of sound, and I thought how the chorua was like the world. One by one we come and go) and neither our coming: in nor our going out seems to make any difference, and yet in some way imperceptible to us and to those a-bout us a difference is made. We each one count for something, but we do not know what or to whom. And then, suddenly, the chorus stopped and there was heard only a thin pietous stream of music from the stringed instru- ments which had been unheard in the volume of the chorus, and the concert went on to its magnificent close and I was once more an unknown, commonplace individual in Leeds Town Hall. IXiring the smging I was part of it. TWO KISSES. In the glowing noon The fierce sun kissed a fragile flower. The flower blushed and drooped its shining head. When the white robed moon Shone bright about the midnight hour. She also kissed the flower, but it was dead! The Coast. J.G.

ABERYSTWYTH Will.—Mr. Richard Benbow, of 1, Alexandra-road, an active worker at the English Presbyterian Church, who died ou the 6th February intestate, left estate valued at L851 gross, with net personalty £ 352. Letters of administration have INen granted to his widow Labourers Wages.-Tlio labourers in the Surveyor's Department of the Corporation have been granted an increase of 2s. per week in wages during the war. Their wages are now 24s. in some cases and 25s. in others. It is stated that a strike was threatened if the wages were not in- creased. Special Court.-O-n Monday morning, Frank Harris, labourer, Swansea, was on the evidence of P.C Thomas Williams sent to prison for a month for begging.—3>. J. Williams, labourer, Tyrabbey, was on the evidence of P.C. K. J. Evans bound over for having been drunk arid disorderly in Northgate-street on Saturday night. It is understood that he has since enlisted Freemasonry. The Most Worshipful Gtrand Master (th-e- Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught) has appointed the Rev. Morris Roberts, vicar of St. Matthews, Poplar, London, assistant grand, chaplain in the Grand Lodge of England. Mr. Roberts is P.M. of the Cathedral Lodge of St. Paul's and P.Z. of the chapter. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. David! Roberts. Ty Haiarn, near Gogerddan. Obituary.—The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon of Richard David Jones. 30, Mill-street, who died on the previous Friday night at the Infirmary, where he had been removed to undergo an operation for appendicitis. He was forty- nine years of age and had been employed on the railway. His father, David Jones, was a well-known guard on the Cambrian Railways. Deceased had also served in the Militia for many years and held the rank of sergeant. He leaves a widow and six children. One of the sons, Richard, has been invalided home from the front suffer- ing from frost bite and another son, Edward, i'$ with the Clairdi-gait Battery. Two sons-in-law, H. Cook and J. Hughes, were also present at the funeral in khaki. Benefit Of the Doubt.—On Friday morn- ing before William Thomas and David James. Esquires. John William Millward. shopkeeper. 4. South-road. waft charged by Supt. Phillips with having pui chased four scissors valued at Is. from a schoo! boy named John Lewis, 6. Spring-gardens, knowing them to have been stolen. The I evidence was to the effect that the boy attends Alexandra-road School and stole the scissors which were afterwards sold to de- fendant who gave the boy a halfpenny for two in the morning and the same price for two in the afternoon. Mr. D. J. Saer, headmaster, identified the scissors as the property of the Education Committee, and P.S. Thomas Davies gave particulars of his interview with the accused and the recovery of the property. Defendant gave evidence that the boy told him the scissors were given him by his mother to sell and that he gave a penny each for the scissors. He objected to the wording of the summons which stated that he knew the, scissors were stolen. If he wanted to buy stolen goods he would have gone in for something different. In giving the decision of the Bench, Mr. W. Thomas said it was a. serious for a man in defendant's position. He could not express how strongly he and his colleague felt in the matter. The good conduct of r the children of the. poorest class rested to a large extent on men in defendant's posi- tion, and the Bench considered he had gone near the margin if not over it. Person- ally he was strongly in favour of a convic- tion. and hoped to God he would not have to sit on a similar charge against defend- ant. On this occasion he would have the benefit of the doubt. The father was bound over to be responsible for the boy's behaviour. Belgian Concert.—A first-class pro- gramme was provided for those who were able to be present at the con- cert given by local Belgian artistes on Monday evening at the Buarth Hall, the appreciation of which was shown by the splendid applause given and by the silence maintained during each item.

Jean Staquet Van Adorp (bass viol), anu Marcel Staquet (piano). Songs were also sung by M. Jean Staquet. accompanied bv the quartette, when the 'cello was taken bv Marcel Staquet, and the piano by Mme. Hanard. The songs formed a special feat- ure of the programme as M. Staquet ap- peared to most of the audieno-3 in a new role as vocalist. His singing of an English song as an encore was greatly appreciated, as a!so was the English version of Still wie -n% die Nacht" by Mme. Hanard, both ot which created a feeling of closer sympathy between the audience and. artistes. The rendering, of the title of each item on the programme by Brigadier General R. B. Mainwaring, C.M.G., who occupied the chair, was well received, and his genial re- 6 1 q marks between the items kept the audience well amused. A largo number of the in.l;- tary attended well as many music-lovers from the town. A vote of thanks to the artistes was proposes by the Chairman, and aaconded in French by Dr. A. B. Tliomas, C.O.W. A vote of thanks to tnc Chairman was proposed by Archdeacon WiDiama. Tho proceeds which were received in boxes; placed at the door were in aid of the local Belgian fund.

Rees and Evans, auctioneers, etc.. 4, Baker-street, advertise their first month.y sale of fat and store cattie. sheep and pigs, etc., at Alter ystwyth tomitiitieid, on Monday, April 5tb commencing at 10.30. These sales hav&i proved a great success at Lampeter and there is no reason why they should not he successful at Aberystwyth if, farmers will take advantage of the opportunity of ob- taming the highest price for their stock Promotion. Aian Whatham. who d was appomted second-lieutenant in tho 10th king's Own Royal Lancashire Regi- ment on Novembér ball and lieutenant on December 22nd, has been promoted captain. to date from February 6th.

Death of Mr. Daft Jon-as.— The death is announced of Mr. David Augustus Jones, only surviving son of the .ate Mr. John Jones, solicitor, Llandyssul. and of GeJ!i- taharen. Deceased, who was thirty- seven years old, was educated at Llan- dyssul Grammar School and at Aberystwyth College. He was articled to Messrs. Evans and Thomas, both old articled clerks of his father, who took over the practice on the death of Mr. John Jones in 1884, as the result of a carriage .accident. He resided for some years at Aberystwyth. Deceased's twin brother predeceased him about nine years ago. He leaves a mother and two sisters. in October he offered himself as a volunteer, but failed to satisfy the medical examiner. North Road.—The metalling and rolling of North-road is being proceeded with this week. The footpaths have been paved with concrete slabs where there were no slabs before and the sunk slabs have been relaid. -Kerb stones have also been put down and the channelling laid. It would seem to have been reasonable to have rolled the road before laying down the channelling as rolling has dislocated the channel flags and the channelling work will probably have to be done over again. An interesting legal question arises in connec- tion with the making up of this road. The footpath on the west side has been raised and flagged and there is no protection between the footpath and the drop down to the field beneath. If anyone reasonably using the footpath falls over in the dark and breaks his leg or his neck who will be responsible for damages—the Corpora- tion who did the work, the private owners .vho pay tor it. or nobody r Wedding.—At Trinity Church, on Tues- day morning, the malriage took place oi Captain David Jones Evans, only son of the late Captain John Evans and of Mrs. M. J. Evans, Morwylfa. Banadl-road, and Miss Isabella Cruickshank, eldest daugh- ter of the late Mr. Thomas Cruickshank, inland revenue supervisor, and Mrs. Cruickshank, 15, Queen's-terrace. The Rev E. Sinnett Jones, M.A., vicar of Capel Curig, uncle of the bridegroom, was the officiating minister, assisted by Arch- deacon Williams and the Rev. Arthur Owen. TIll] bride, attired in white silk and carrying a wreath of orai ge blossom, was given away by her brother, the Re;. E. Cruickshank. B.A., Lambeth, London. The bridesmaids were the Misses Isabella Cruickshank, Middlesborough; Annie Rowlands. Mount, Llanon, cousins; and Laura Cruickshank. sister. Mr. R. Vaughan, brother-in-law, wa's the best man. Among those present were Mrs. Evans. mother; Mrs. Thomas, Belmont, Llanon, aunt: and Mrs. Vaughan, s'ster of the bridegroom.

Norris, adjutant of the regiment, in a. letter of condolence to Archdeacon Madden. 'Liverpool, on the death of his son, Lieutenant H. T. Madden who was killed in the same action, gives the following details:—"He fell feading his platoon in an assault on the German trenches at Givenchy about eight a.m. yesterday. March 10th. Captain Fenernn and Lieutenant Young were also killed. and Lieutenant Miller (all the officers of your son's company) was wounded. From the evidence of the few men who returned I am sure they were all killed instantly. The whole history of the British army has nothing finer to show than the work of A Company yesterday. Colonel Carter was wounded." Funeral of Mrs Morgan. -Interment of the remains of Mrs. Morgan, E-rwvd House, Llanbadarn-road, was made at the Cemetery on Saturday morning.

Liberal Club.-At a meeting of the Executive of the Liberal Club on Tuesday evening a resolution was unanimously agreed to protesting strongly against any interference with the Welsh Disestablish- ment Act and against any postponement of its operation.

Corps tT.F), Portsmouth. Writing on the 15th inst., he says Just a line or two to let you know that I am in the above hospital, after being wounded both in the head and also in the leg. I may say I got completely bowled over. I thank God for having a thick skull, or I wouldn't be here to-day. I received my wounds on the night of the 10th inst. under very heavy fire from the German trenches. I can assure you that We gave it to them.' It was during a terrific attack on our right that I got wounded. I have had enough of it. having been five months in the trenches. I can do with a rest now and intend coming on leave shortly. I came over from Boulogne (France) on the Carisbrooke Castle,' and a splendid boat too. Would you mind writing to my brother Charlie, at Aber- dovey, telling him that I am here, and ask him to write me as I have no coppers until I am out of hospital. P.S.—Will you send me some fags please? F.B."
