THE READING CLUB MISS KATE ELLINGTON, HOSTESS The club met December 10th at the residence of JUss Kate Elling ton. The reading of Othello was con continued, together with the charac ter study of the Moor, written by Mrs. Harris. . . In the portrayal of the character of Othello, Shakespeare had the task of so exhibiting : the passion of Jeal ousy that the lover could bo capa ble of destroying the object of his love and yet appears bo enobled as to engage our sympathy nnj finally our pity. Othello united two natures: those of calmness and ardor, rashness and circumspection. He was a stranger In the coun try in which we find him, though he has become n Christian; and be ing" a born warrior had risen to the rank of general in the Venetian army. His military gift Js the one by which he is preeminently distin guished. But Othello is not only a warrior; amid all the storms of war, amid hatred and strife, he has preserved the tender and noble feelings which make a man. Honor forms the ba sis of his existence, the condition upon which alone he can fulfil Us destiny. Nevertheless, neither his deeds nor his royal origin can free him from the prejudices of man toward a dark skin. Desdemona was Bought by many suitors, but regarded the mind more than the features. Othello's love for her is of the purest and noblest kind, centered in the true worth of the beloved one. Iago himself, his bitterest enemy, says: "The Moor is of a free and open na ture ;-.;-.! That thinks men honest that but seem to be so." And again: "The IMoor howhdt that I endurs ; him not Is of a constant, loving, noble na- ture, And, I dare think, he'll prove to Desdemona A most dear husband." The club wilt meet with Mrs. El lington December 17th. REMAINS OF S. W. CERRINGER BURIED IN THIS COUNTY. Mr. S. W.
