ON HOMEMADE HEROES.


Ethel Tame philadelphia Record.
"No one" says George Macdonald in
his latest novel, "Sir Gibbie" 'has yet
written the poetry of hungor-has builtup
IN verse its stairs of grand ascent-from
such hunger as Gibbie's for penny loaf
up-no, no, not to an alderman's feast,
that Is the way down the mouldy cellar
stair-but up the white marble scale to
the hunger after righteousness whose very
longingsa are bliss"
Somewhere on this mystical ascent we
come upon a hunger for the true, good and
beautiful embodied, and we name it hero
worship.
But herO-worsEip, like religion, is a
word OF widely varying shades of meaning,
My present thought concerns not our ven
Grafton for the historical representatives
OF the races grcatncss-thOsG picked
specimens that all men admire, nor each
ones more intimate love for the heroes
of his own creed, country or pet theory;
nor our tanciiul romantic tenderness for

friends. Perhaps of such nimbus am
the solitary seer. Reader, does not thy
little world, too, sometimes tax the with
beholding vision of stately swans
when naught but clumsy geese are truly
passing by2
