Show WO 40 retreat to tho other. Thus our actor arid Author made periodical visits te his .native town, aDd had bought its principal house some fifteen years before quitting tho me tropolis. Heaven help the rnan who lacks a home in which to embody his earthly ideals if he have success in life, or as the amiable sanctuary from disaster in it! Shakespeare came back to Stratford about 1611, some years before he was fifty, with the means of li ving at ease and repairing visibly the decayed fortunes of the family. Must he not have desired to sink tho shop by leaving behind the theatre, which was lor him the shop? For answer. It may be remembered that he wrote in his sonnets: 'Alas.'tis true, I have tone here and there, And made myself a motley to the view. ' for my sake do you with fortune cblde, The guilty god dees of my harmful deeds, That did not better for my life provide, Than public means, which public manners brteds. Thence comes It that my name receives a brand, And almost thence my nature Is subdued To what It works In, like the dyer's hand; Pliy me then, and wish I were renewed." O We would bring no railing accusation though, in the against the "player-folk,light of the sonnets, would Shakespeare more likely have Joined, on the question of that life, its clerical and other eulogists, or the Macreadys, Booths, and Mrs. Kemble, with her account of her own loathing Jor It, orul nt th chastlv vacuitv of her aunt's last days, that queen of the stage, Mrs. We know it 13 claimed there is no sodality more ready to succor its needy members, and we may readily believe that the gentle, worthy ana oeiovea anakespeare, as men were wont to call him, was a pretty general favorite, none the less that heap-pea-rs to have been capable of taking care of himself, without asking favors, and not above acting inferior parts.

In such features as these, and in a certain glorified atmosphererStratford and Weimar seem to us much akin. The German town has the advantago that its theatre is, if we mistake not, as much a contemporaneous monument of its classic age as is the church where Herder preached, and the Grand-duca- l palace with its mementos of Goethe's taste. Perhaps the presenco of a theatre was as indispensable for Goethe's content in Weimar asn home, as its absence for Shakespeare's in Stratford. But we will condone the theatre's intrusion into ford, if the memorial library under the same roof bo one where we can see all the early folios, and the sumptuous editions on which London aldermen have ruined themselves and the best editions on which scholars have spent labors of love, and above all, if the can bestow upon Shakespeare those beautiful illustrations which, paid to the Weimar galaxy of poets on the frescoed walls of the Ducal residence, the homeliike, chaste, and elegant among palaces, seemed to us the most appropriate memorials ever awarded to genius. One can stand in few places upon earth as impressive as the chancel of the church in 8tratford, where he looks down upon the inscription of tho pavement that covers Shakespeare's ashes' and up to his mural bust We may compare with it in a degreo the tomb of Napoleon under the dome of the Invalids, and the sarcophagus of Frederic the Great, in the Garrison Church at Potsdam. But where shall we find any parallel to our reflections as we stand in Shakespeare's early home in Henley street, and think upon the miracle, that out of this humble house proceeded the greatest prodigy of human nature, to express whose range of thought and feeling Required a vocabulary double that of Milton, the art-galle- ry im-'perso- ioh of hTgh na t i ve'po wers per fee t e d by the finest cultivation ?Tho Watchman.
