ORPHEUS.

Among the legends of an- clent Hellas one of the saddest and sweetest is that of Or- pheus, the music-maker.

When Orpheus played upon his magic lyre, the gift of Apollo, all nature was charm- ed into attention; the river. stayed in its course; the woode and the mountain-tops bowed their heads in adoration; the timid hare and the fierce tiger crept spell-bound to his side.

The nymphs of field and forest and stream worshipped" him, but only one, Eurydice, found favour in Orpheus's eyea. Soon after their up- tials Eurydice died from a serpent's sting. Made bold by grief, Orpheus penetrated into the kingdom of the dead, and sang the song of his love. and sorrow, before Pluto and Proserpine. As he sang, the damned forgot their tortures, the Furles tarried in their dread work, and even the heart of Pluto softened, He suffered Eurydice to return to. Earth on condition that Or pheus did not turn his head?" while still in Hades, Orpheus, alas turned his head just too soon, and his wife was snatche ed back into the shadows,

Thereafter, Orpheus mourn ed bitterly, and would not be. comforted, repelling the other, nymphs so coldly that they jealously tore him to pieces.

Orpheus symbolises the In- troduction of civilisation and the fine arts among savage mankind.
