The Folly of Pride.

pride in such creature as man:
AFTER all, take some quiet, sober mo-
ment Of life, and add together the two
IDEAS of pride and of man behold him.
creature of q span high, stalking through
infinite space in all the grandeur OF little
ness. Perched on peck of the universe,
every wind of heaven strikes into his
blood the coldness of death; his soul floats
from his body like melody from the string;
day and night, as dust on the wheel, he is
rolled along the heavens, through laby-
rinth Of worlds. and all the creations of
God are flaming above and beneath. Is
this creature to make himself crown
of glory; to deny his own flesh. to mock
At his fellow, sprung from the same dust
to which both will soon return! Does
the proud man not err! Does he not suf-
fer? Does he not die? When he reasons
is be never stopped by difficulties! When
he acts. Is he never tempted by pleasure?
When he lives, is he free from pain:
When he dice, can he escape the common
grave: Pride is not tho heritage OF man
humility should dwell with frailty, and
atone for ignorance, error and imperfec-

The Southern MOcking Bird.


But we must throw aside handful OF
botanical specimens. and page of memo
randa for letter writing. else we should
linger in these Mississippi woods all sum-
mer. Hark! listen to the mocking bird!'
Yon.ler on that water oak, how proudly
he balances himself on the winging bough.
Will he sings Yes. Only hearken. his
notes are clearer than notes of flute. more
shrill and ringing than the falsettos OF
the most perfect flageolct, endless in va
riety as if his octaves reached into the
ethery skies, and modulatcd with grace
beyond the range of words to express.
He takes up the song OF the thrush, the
time beat Of the robin, the caroling OF
some distant swallows too family remote
for our coarse ear to hear, the victor call
of the lark mounting into the face OF the
sun, the chattering of the blue bird, anu
a score of remembered cadences from sum-
mers that are gone, and-hearken! he
trarsposes them into new creation. His
original variations surpass Gottscha'k's
erandest liberties with "Home, Sweet
Home" He swells his mellow melodies
into an anthem; it rises, falls. strikes on,
very blessed Babel of confusion, bewitcl-
ing, captivating song, with notes too quick
for the pulsing time or quivering hearts
to tell-a miracle Of melody. And all this
from the throat of stray mocking bird,
one of million in the Mississippi woods!
If God has so endowed Wild warbler OF
the forest, what rapturous surprises await
Us in the eternal morning when the New
Song shall strike our ravishing ears!-
