Again: I learn from my subjert th :t
events which seem to be most in-ignitie
ant ma\ be my nentoiis. Can you imag
ine smvthing n.ore unimportant than
the f'»: 11 i:?_r of ajo>rwo ;an from Moah
to .111-lith ' Can vo i imagine anything
mor - tr vial than the fact that this Uuth

that s e was to become an ancestor of

and kingdoms must look at that oie
htlle hi. i l ilt with a thrill of u.speak
ii' 1" an let -rnal satisfaction, ."o it is in
your history an 1 in mine : events that
you th"Ught of no importance at all have
been ot very great moment. That casual
conv -r-ation, that accidental meeting -
you di 1 : ot think of it again for a long
whi'e but how it change I all the phase
oi your life!
It seem -d to be of no importance that
.Tub.. I invent" 1 rude instruments of mu
sic. calling them harp an I organ; but
they were the introduction of all the
world's minstrel-y ; and as you hear the
vibration of a string *d instrument, even
after the lingers have been tak-m awav
from it. so all muse now of lute and
drum and cornet is only the long-co i
ti .ue ! .-tr. ins of .1 übal's harp and .1 übal s
' rgin. !t seemed t> '>e a matt tof very
little inioo t nice that Tubal Cain bar et

rue foun ry of am ient 'lays has its echo
. 1 tii rattle of I»ir niiijham machinery,
an I ; lie : 0..r and bang of factories on the
Merri mac.
It seemed to he a matter of no impor
t nice that i.u hr foun I a I'.h 1 • in a
1.1 1 1 .-lery ; but as he opened that I'd hie
an ! the I ra-sdiound lids fell back, they
ire 1 cvrything, from the Vatican to
the furthe.-i convent in t lerinany, and
i e rn.-tling of the wormed leav* s was
the -oun i of the wings of the angel of
the I!(•;• irmation. It seemed to be a
matter of no importane • that a wo;nan,
