ECHOES

What are theyp The philosopher tells us
they are the sound-waves Of the air reflected
back TO our ears when meeting some solid
body. The ancients would say they are the
voices Of wood nymphs and Dryads mocking
us from the dells Mt the foot Of the mountains
or reverberating through the long reaches Of
the forests. The superstitious would assure
us that they are the means Of the lost souls
wandering through the cayerns Of the side
hills, or around the ruined arches of the de-
serted monastelies whose instructions they
had despised when living. How beautiful WI 8
that idea Of the mother, who, when her child
complained that n voice from the mountains
spoke insultingly to him. replied, "Try IL with
kind voice, and IL will answer kindly II
will be so" she said, thereafter in your inter
course with the world. IL will answer you
according to the voice with which you address
it."
There arc ECHOES Of the mind as well as in
the sound-waves Echoes-ah, how unlike
the voice we once sent out to the world. How
often do the sad echoes Of the past sound mourn
fully over the soul, bringing the very words
ond the very tones that have long since been
hushed to silencel They were uttered by
lips that now lie crumbling in the grave. There
comes no echo from the cold tombstone, but
there is far-off sound away down in the deep
caverns Of the heart that whispers the tones
of the past to the mental ear "The tones Of
the past"--what death knell they arel No
moaning wind over the remains of the autumn
leaves no solemn warning Of the coming
storm from the echoing caverns Of the deep
no tolling of the funeral bell over the slow pre-
cession Of the newly dead-can equal in sad
ness the low, sad moan, the solemn requiem,
the distant sounding knell, that echoes Of the
past.
