and rent-sweating, nobody raises a voice against his selfish inhumanity. When he foregoes a few thousands per annum out of his yearly millions, and advertises well the fact that he intends to devote this paltry sum to the better housing of the poor-whose fathers and grandfathers have rotted to death, whose children have faded away, on his estate-the press of the civilized world, joined is, one monumental grovel, applauds his Grace's "charity," wallows in the dit at his Grace's boots.

Farther on we come across "The Bumboat Woman's Story," This is told in the first person, and in telling it she looks back many years ago when she was young and charming," when her "cheeks were mellow and soft, and her eyes were large and when sweet Poll Pineapple's eyes were the standing toast, of the Royal Fleet.

In a broader higher sense, every man has a great and noble right, the splendid responsibility of his brother's welfare. The wealthy may have all they can grab. They may be conscience-pricked and relax Ureir grasp upbit a fraction, if they choost. It matters little. We recognise only the fact that every man has a right to the full realisation of all his mental and physical potentialities. The speculative enterprise of the Smiths and the Pullmans, of the Guinnesses and the Carnegies, interfere with this right. It significa little that a man becomes very good after being as bad na he wished to be; as when to attain a special end the rouf turns saint when no longer his senses minister to his animal gratification. It' is very fine to be open-handed within. limits, after being, for one's life-time, close-fisted with out limits. But let it past! The rich are entitled to all they can get, if they are entitled- from the stand-point of abstract reason to get anything beyond what another gets. We must be logical. Socialism says no man has a right which is another man's wrong. It is possible that Socialism is on the more rational track.
Tolstoi, in his "Two Brothers and Gold," tells a story of two men devoted to the service of humanity. One day they found a treasure of gold. One brother fled from it as from a tempta- tion of the Devil. The other gathered it up, went into a city with it, built infirmaries, hospitals, charitable institutions. Men called this brother good, boly, noble, what-not; he rubbed himself down with their praise as a South Sea Islander rubs himself down with' coconnat-oil.
It is to be remarked, too, that the Hot Cros Bun was a very proper gunboat. The stronges! oath ever heard on board was "Dear mic," and no ons ever thought of ripping out a "big, big d"

The plot in Pinafore turns upon the chang- ing of the Captain and Ralph when they were children, and there are two foreshadowings of that in the "Bab Ballads." The first is found entitled "General John "
General John was a soldier uied, A chief of warlike donaj
A haughty ride and a withering pride,
Wera Major-General Jodu's,

"I've a strange idea, each other's names.
That we have cach got on."
Such things have been, asid Private Jame
"They have!" neered General Johs, Notwithstanding his sneer, General John was a just man, and, being convinced that Private James was honest in his opinion, he immediately accepted the situation, shouldered his muskel, and obeyed orders like a dutiful soldier.
The other indication is found in the poem. Paley entitled "The Baby's Vengeance." Vollaire of Bromptonville was weary at heart and extremely ill. There was fever in his blood He demanded one Frederick West, a dustman, to whom he wished to make confession, Frederick came, and to bim he confided the fact that when they were both babies they were put out wet-nursing to the same woman, and hat, being jealous of the attention young West was receiving, he cradled out of his cradle and changed places with the favored infant. Altogether, and ibough in many pieces a patchwork, "Pinafore" can be very easily made out of the" Bab" effusions.
One of
and an unrest his heart. Then he began to desire his brother's company, He went into the field to look for him, thinking: "My brother reasoned wrong when he jumped away from the gold and fled. Haven't I done better?" An angel inter- cepts hint and tells him that he is unworthy to live with so good a brother. "Thy brother's leap is worth more than all those things that thou hast done with thy gold." The man explains all about the poor, the wanderers, the orphans he has suc- coured; but the angel comes down on him, like blackbird on a worm, with: "The Devil, who put down the gold to seduce thee, also taught thee these word." This little fable pretty accurately describes the position of a man-laudated by a silly, drivelling newspaper press-who, after sub- mitting without a complaint to the iniquitous existing condition of things, endeavours to make his peace with his conscience by donating a decimal of his fearful superfluity to the service of his race. The modern advertiser, however, does not do this. He merely buys a reputation for benevolence, and he gets it under the false pre- tence of being genuinely charitable; but very likely the beautiful theory of compensation comes in here, and the purchased reputation is about as false as the benevolence with which be bought it-Sydney. Bulletin.
Others of his libretti are here also. the ballads is entitled "The Rival Curates" and it tells a story that is simply that of the rival pocis in "Patience." Mr. Clayton Hooper had the care of souls at Spiffton-extra-Looper, and he was the mildest curate that ever breathed.
ORIGINAL GILBERT,
THE "BAR BALLADS" AS THE SOURCE OF "PINAFORE," "PATIENCE" AND COMPANY.
At the time of Pinafore's" production it was intimated by certain curious investigators that the germ of the libretto was to be found in one of W. S. Gilbert's early pieces of nonsense verSC entitled "Captain Reece." This Jingle was the Bab Ballads" published in the first of the alleged and defunct comic paper Fun, sometime run as an opposition weekly to Punch, under the editorship of the lite Thomas Hood. The younger Gilbert never successfully denied the Asseruan it could scarcely be called a charge- and the recent publication of a revised volume of there same hallads shows that "Cap tain Recco" was not the only lively verse of his youth from which Gilbert gathered inspiration for his later work.
Antinspection of the volume shows a curious want of originality in Gilbert, or rather it shows that his fun was of a very circumscribed order, and that his whimsicality runs in one direction only. The reader has only to review the stories and characters which Sir Arthur Sullivan has made so musically popular to appreciate the Justice of this criticism. The Admiral in Pinafore," the Judge in "Trial by Jury," the Major-General in the "Pirates of Penzance," the Colonci in "Patience," the Lord Chancellor, and the Mikado himself are all the same character un- der different names; all have the same autobio- sing; Lady Jane and graphical patter songs
are first cousins; the bumboat woman in "Pinafore" and the housekeeper of the "Pirates" are fashioned' on the same lines, Ralph Rackstraw is Frederick under another service, arl the daughters of the Major-General are only the sisters and the cousins and the aunts of the Admiral,
In the ballad referred to Captain Reece is in command of her Britannic Majesty's ship the Mantelpiece, and his chief alm in life was "to promote the comfort of his crew." One day the good Captain, thinking that something might still be done to make his sailors happy and comfortable, inquired of the boatswain, William Lee, if this were so. Thereupon William Lee, "a nervous, shy, low-spoken man," cleared his throat and made reply.
"You have a daughter, Captain Reece,
He lived on curds and whey,
And daily sang their praises, And then he'd go and play
With buttercups and daisies,

And all the spore of Mammont, Tie warred with cribbage and
He exorcised backgammon.
A visitor chanced to come to Spiffton-exira- Looper one day and poohed at the idea that the Rev. Hooper was the mildest curate going. He contended that for blank benignity he was not a patch upon the Rev. Hopley Porter, the curate of Assesmilk-cum Worter.
He plays the airy fute,
And looks depressed and blighted,
Daves round baut him "wet"
And lumbkins dance delighted.
la labore more than you
At worsted work and frames
In old maids' nuans, ton,
Sticks Laweed—yes, and names it,"
Upon hearing this Mr. Hooper sent two des- peradoes to Hopley Porter with instructions to assassinate him unless he agreed to play croquet, smoke, and dance. Porter accepted the situation with joy.
"What?" sald that reverend gent, ́,
"Dance through my hours of leisure? Smaka bathe myself wali scetts?
