They had ng as to which was 'the , and not being able to question they resolved to appeal to Arne. When they had fin- ished he turned to one and remark- od: "Well, sir, you sing very badly." The other concluded that he had won the wager--for there was a bet in Question--and he said so to Arne. "Nay," retorted Arne, "for while he sings badly, you can't sing at all." That was the man who wrote the tune of "Rule, Britannia." It is, however, like putting the cart be fore the horse to spedk of the tune while as yet we have said nothing about the words. Authorship Is Disputed. Unfortunately, the authorship of "Rule, Britannia' is a debated ques- tion, and debated questions are hard- ly for discussion in a column like this. Still, we want to know what can be said for one claimant or another, Briefly, "Rule, Britannia' was written either by James Thom- son, the poet of "The Seasons," or by David Mallet, a venal hack scrib- bler of the timo, upon whom Dr. Johnson poured his contempt in his dictionary--of all places! Thomson and Mallet wero both Scots, and Johnson hated Scots as the devil is said to hate holy water. Mallet's name (he was a Perthshire man) Was originally Malloch; but when he went to London he found that the cockney difficulty with the guttural led to his being called Mallock, and as he did not like being called Mal- lock he changed his name to Mallet. It was this that gave Johnson his opportunity, and when he came to define the word "alias' he did it so: ""Alias--A Latin word signifying 'otherwisc;' as Mallet alias Malloch: that is, otherwise." Moore, the poet, declared that when Johnson fined "mallet" as "a thing with a Wooden head," he had the Perthshire man in' view, and I verily believe he had. Johnson was capable of any- thing when it came to dealing with natives of the northern half of the kingdom. But to come more directly to our story. The difficulty in deciding bo- tween Thomson and Mallet lies in this, that "Rule, Dritannia' first appeared as part of a work which they wrote together, and in which their respective shares aro not indi- cated. The work in question was the masque of "Alfred," written in 1740 for an entertainment at Clief- don, which was meant to commem- orate the accession of George I. and the birthday of the Princess Augus- ta. Thomson died eight years after this, and in the meantime nothing had been said about the authorship of the song. But "Rule, Britannia" had sprung into popularity--was, in fact, the one thing in the whole masque which had survived, and the suggestion of some is that Mallet obscured the issue and allowed it to be inferred that he, and not Thoin- son, had written the song. Thomson was dead, and had left behind him no evidence one way or another. Malict was thoroughly un- scrupulous, and would not hesitate a"momint bout an imposture in which he was not likely to be de tected. To give him his due, howev- er, Mallet did not directly claim the authorship of '"'Rule, Britannia." True, he published the whols of *Al- fred" in an edition of his works printed in 1759; but that has noth- ing to do with the question, since, even 80, Mallet admitted (still with out specifying respective shares) that "Alfred" contained Work from Thomson's pen. Moreover, while Mal- let was still living--in 1712" Al fred," including "Rule, Britannia,' as a matter of course, was also printed by Murdoch in his edition of Thomson. \ Thus the matter, so far as Rule, Britannia' is concerned, stood in 1762 exactly as it had stood in 1740. 'Thomson left the authorship in doubt--so did Mallet. Neither di- rectly claimed .the song, and al- though several of their contempor- aries must have known the facts, they remained silent, with the result that the authorship of one of our finest patriotic pieces remains among | the list of controversial subjocts. Thomson Probable Anthor. Personally, I am inclined to favor Thomson. Thomson was really a poet; Mallet was at best only a Pootaster. The internal evidence is, I think, on the side of Thomson. Thomson frequently dealt with pa- triotic themes, witness his *"Liber- ty" and "Britannia,'"' two produc- tions which, in spirit, very much re- semble the celebrated ode. He 'was an enthusiastic advocate of liberty, making constant appeals. to free. dom and Great Dritain; while he was also a warm admirer of heroes and legislators. There is not a single in "Rule. Britannia" the words. Ritson mentions one Jacobite version which began: Rise, Britannia! Britannia, rise and fight! Restore your injured monarch's right. A second version is included in "The True Loyalist; or Chevalier's Favorite." Here is the first verse: Britannia rouse at Heaven's command! And crown thy native Prince again; Then Peace shall bless thy happy land, And plenty pour in from the main; Then Sha thou be---Britannia, thou shalt From home and foreign tyrants free, But "Rule, Britannia' did nothing for the Jacobites. An air like '"The Marseillajse"' might have made all the difference at Culloden if the fol- lowers of Prince Charlie had come under such an. intoxicating influence. Sung in Church, 'Rule, Britannia,' strange as it may seem to us now, was at one time sung in church, just as the air of "Robin Adair" was used as a hymn tune in the carly years of the nineteenth century. A Church of England clergyman, writing in 1881, remarks: "Nothing need be said of the impropriety of adopting such tunes as 'Rule, Bri- tannia," and 'Britons, Strike Home,' because, though they have worked their way into some dissenting places of worship, no instance has occur- red of our churches' (i. e., the state churches) "being profaned by their introduction.' It is ever the enthusi- asts who, as Rowland Hill put it, object to the devil having 'all the best tunes! Here is an extract from The Times of Oct. 8, 1798, when the news of Nelson's victory in the battle of the Nile reached England: "Drury Lane. ~After the play, the news of Ad- miral Nelson's glorious victory pro- duced a burst of patriotic exultation that has been rarely witnessed in a theatre. 'Rule, Britannia," was unanimously called for from every part of the house, and the perform- ers came forward and sang it, ac- companied by the audience. . It was called for, and sung a second time. The acclamations were the loudest and most fervent we ever witness. ed." It must, indeed, have been a stirring scene! BORN TO BE PAUPERS. __ Whole Family Living in an Work- heuse Together. A family with a remarkable experi- ence of workhouse life is at present enjoying the hospitality of the Marylebone Poor Law Guardians, says the. Daily Mail, At the end of July, 1891, the grandfather, Patrick Downs, at that time about 60 ycars of age, who lived in Lisson strect west, sought the shelter of the workhouse, to be followed a few months later by his wife, Catharine. He was a day la- borer, and for the non-payment of rent was turned out of his home The couple are still in the work- house, and there they will doubtless remain. Al daughter, Kate, made periodic visits to the institution, taking her discharge when well enough to leave. She is now about 30 years of age. Three of her children, born in the workhouse, are dead, and were bur- ied by the parish. Another, a boy, is now in the Shaftesbury training ship, where he is maintained at the expense of the guardians. Another daughter, Elizabeth, mar- ried a man named Lawes, who has been ah inmate, but is not now in residence. The wife died in the in- stitution, and her four children are being maintained and educated at the Guardians' Schoo's at Southall. A third daughter, Johanna Cooling, who has no children, is now out of the '"'house," but she has been an inmate. . ee its. Tee Small English Parishes.

Yeats, the Irish poet, tells of a woman who once said to Mari- on Crawford, the novelist: "Have you ever written anything that will live after you are gone?" ""Madam," Crawford replied, 'what I am trying to do is to write some thing that will enable me to live while I am here." ; Gen. Benjamin Viljoen ried to the St. Louis police that uring the past week ten horses and three mules had been stolen from the South Afri- can Boer war exhibit on the world's fair grounds, - Butter, 18¢c.
