rho snl,inx.

How true, for example, is that old fable
of the Sphinx, who sat by the wayside
propounding her riddle to the passers
by, whom, if they could not answer, she
destroyed. Such q Sphinx is this life of
ours to all men and societies of men.
Nature. like the Sphinx, is Of womanlv,
celestial loneliness and tenderness; the face
and bosom of goddess, but ending in
claws and the body of lioness. There is
in her celestial beauty, which means ce-
lestial order, pliancy to wisdom, but with
darkness, ferocity, fatality, which are
internal. She is a goddess, but one not
yet dislmprisoned, one still half imprisoned,
the articulate lonely sill encased in the in
articulate chaotic. How true! And does
she not PROFOUND her riddles to us? Of
each man she asks daily, in mild voice,
yet with terrible significance, "Knowest
thou the meaning of this day? What
thou canst do to-day, wisely attempt to do"
Nature, universe, Destiny, Existence,
howsoever we name this grand, unname--
able fact in the midst of which we live and
struggle, is rs heavenly bride and con-
quest to the aoise and braue-to those who
can discern her behests and do them, but o
destroying fiend to those who cannot.
Answer her riddle, it is well with thee
answer it not, pass on regarding it not, it
will answer itself. The solution for thee is
thing of teeth and claws. Nature is
dumb lioness, deaf to thy pleadings, fiercely
devouring. Thou art not now her victori-
GUS bridegroom; thou art her mangled VIC
tim, scattered on the precpices, as slave
found treachereus, recreant, ought to be
and must.-IHonaas Carlyle.
