DR CLAUDITUS,

Not until thirty years had passed him by

Knew he the taste of Love. Then the strange wine

Seized on his blood, working a rage divine

Within him. Now Life’s roseate strears, long dry,

Burst into flow ; the earth, the sea, the sky

Grew beauty-haunted ; a new sun did shine ;

For on his heart had risen the visible siga

Of holy womanhood’s high mystery.

Love-haloed went the happy days. The strength ar

Of ten was in his arms ; & courser’s fire

Hretted his limbs. All tasks were fairy-like,

Even absence found, spanning its weary length, A bridge swung ‘twixt two towers; this,

rising higher, Was Hope ; that, Memory—sinking to sight.

ART.

he Soul's true heritage is Beauty. She Doth ever know her own, The mystic fire Of Love she carries wakes to warm desire When Beauty beckons. Though the melody Be over, some sweet cadence lingeringly Will haunt her chambers, at some hidden

choir Had seized it, nor would let the strain expire rill they were tuned for rarer songs to be.

The Soul's life-stay is Beauty.

Che Soul distraught with craving of new blis:,

Her godlike hunger-pains alone with this

Are soothed, as festered wounds with bath of

balms.

Tue old building known by the several } names of Temperance Hall, Athenzeum, and i Qoanel my Hal ' ‘ , |Gospel Army Hall, has had much to do } i

|| with the former development of Charlotte-

town civilization and refinement.

At the time of the Crimean war a series of entertainments were held in the build- ing to raise funds for assisting the hospitals at the seat of war, and latterly the Gospel Army has carried on a rather noisy bom- tof the enemy. The citizens and their building may thus be said to have passed through the heroie period of their eXistence, and we may now hope that the usually succeeding period of art and poetry may follow.

. : baradmen

The Philharmonic Society has taken possession of the building, given it a thorough cleaning, aud fitted it up for

their use. The old temporary gallery which disfigured the interior has been taken down, and the hall, which one of the most beautifully proportioned in the city, The walls are covered with ornamental paper, cards, borders and dado of very harmonious and graceful coloring, and the cornice and ceiling tinted in harmony with the general effect.

The interior is lighted by gas jets placed very high on each side of the walls, and an electric light will be hung near the ceiling in the centre of the apartment, so that the light may fall over the audience and down upon the platform, instead of being directly in front and dazzling to the eyes.

The interior effect in the afternoons is very pleasant, the windows being on the south side, so that the sunlight during the day continually has a beneficial effect on the atmospheric air of the building.

The acoustic properties of the apartment are almost perfect. A singer by simply breathing sound can be heard very easily all over the hall, so that in this particular for all concert purposes it will be the best interior in the city. The floor of the hall and small end gallery are capable of seating exactly the same number of persons as_ the Y. M. C. A. Hall, so that the Philharmonic Society will be able to use their excellent hall for concert purposes as well as for musical practices and class room instruction iv vocalism and orchestration. The_ hall will make a pleasant and cheerful club room for the Charlottetown musicians and their friends.

A full meeting of the one hundred and forty Philharmonic members is to be held on Thursday evening for enrollment when the Society will be pleased to have the presencé of any of the citizens who are at all interested in music, even if they do not intend to become members of the Associa- tion.
