A Word to the InquisitIve.

There were some mad men in a
certain kentucky postoffice few
days ago. A postal card was drop
ped into the letter box addressed to
"Rev. John Penobscot, -"
1t was an ordinary card. and the
postmaster was an ordinary post
master. He took it up glanced at
the address, turned it leisurely over
and read: G. -, May 2, 1879.
You, to whom this card is not ad-
dressed, and who. nevertheless, have
the cheek to read t,are contempt

card gently down and lounged TO
the other end of the house, softly
whistling NANCY Lee." In due
time the clerk came upon the card,
perused it, threw his hat upon the
floor, stamped it. and made the
neighborhood hideous with the
bowls of his pet dog, which he
kicked in the ribs. How the card

The Old Pessimists.
From The Edinharsh Review.

Although the national religion Of
the Hebrews was optimistic 10 high
degree, there is a strongly pessi,nis
tic strain 10 such Scriptures as the
Book of Job and Ecclesiastes. Jot
may be pronounced the first pessi
mist when he cursed the day Of bis
birth. "Let the day perish wherein
l was born, and the night in which
was said, There is man.child con.
celved." "Man that Il
born of a woman is of few days and
full of trouble" The words Of the
preacher in Ecclesiastes are deeply
tiIged with pessimism. Life ID
s'hateful," and all that is wrought I'M.
der the sun only "vanity and vexa-
ton of spirit" But the lights OF a
vivid and joyful life also shine forth
from the darkened background drawn
BY the preachers pencil; and the
general strain of the Hebrew htera.
ture, it must be admitted is highly
optimist. "The earth is full of the
goodness Of the Lord" "Let the
heavens rejoice and let the earth be
glad" In Greek and Roman an
tiquity there is at times deep vein
OF pessimism, especially in the Greek
drama and the later Roman litera-
ture. Hesiod says: "The land and
the sea are full of evils Even Ho-
mer, with all his observation-disclosures
can say; "There is nothing whatever
more wretched than" The very
voice of Buddhism seems to speak in
Theognis before it was heard in the
streets of Benares. "It would be
best for the children of the earth net
to be born, next best for
them, when born, to pass the gates
of Hades as soon as possible" The
same voice is heard with equal EN-.
phasis in a well-known passage OF
the "Gdipus Coloneus," and no less
in Eschylus and Euripides. Pro.
fessor Sellar, in his admirable vol
ume on the "Roman Poets of the Re-
public" points out the affinity, and
yet the contrast, between Lucretius
and the Greek poetical philosopher,
Empedocles, of the fifth century B.
c., in their despairing and saddened
view of life. "The burden and mys
terry of the world" he says, "weigh
heavily on each of them, and mold
their language to deep. monotonous
solemnity of tone" But the mourn.
full tone of the one is "the voice Of
the intellectual spirit baflled in its
eager desire to comprehend the
whole" Lucretius, on the other
hand, 'sfelt profoundly the real sor-
rows Of the heart, and was weighed
down by the ever-present conscious
ness of the misery and wretchedness
of the world The old pessimistic
tone underlies all the light-hearted
Epicureanism of Horace, deepens as
we descend the stream of Roman
literature, till in Seneca it vents itself
in such sayings as that death is "the
best invention of nature Even the
calm-minded Marcus Aurelius INVITES
death not to delay his coming. 1t is

THE HERALD.
PHEBE.
From the NV York Observe,

From the NV York Observer.
Underneath the spreading grapes me,
In the door-stone old and worn,
Sat little brown-eyed maiden
One sweet early summer morn,
Hair and face and wee hands folded,
Flecked with sunshine sitting through,
There the vine leaves stirred and trembled
Twixt the child and heavens blue.
Traces still, her face was bearing
OF the struggle back to life,
After long and weary hours
With the wasting fever strife.
OF the two who made the struggle
Only one was there-alone
Little Alice mamma told her,
ITO the better land was gone.p
And this lonely little sister,
Dropped and sorrowed'day by day,
Till they brought her from the city
To the green hills far away.1
Still the tender lips are trembling,
The soft eyes are filed with tears;
Suddenly she starts and listens
What sweet voice is that she hears?
Like sn answer TO her longing
For that sister lost and dear,
Comes a csll-her own name surely
Through the air 80 sweet and clear:
"Phebe Phebe still she hears IL,
Sometimes near and sometimes far.
"Could it be-" she thought In wonder,
"They haze left the gates ajar ?"
"Phebe !" once again. Uprising,
In tuuiult Joyous, wild
81 am coming, Allie darling
Wait--wait for me !" cried the child.
Out into the summer sunshine,
Hope aud JOY in heart and eye,
Sped the child, her little ans
Upward flung toward the Skies
Never knowing--caring WHITTIER
Stopping only, still, to hear
The sweet bird she thought an angel,
Calling to her mortal ear.
But at last her weakness conquered,
And she sank down YEARLY,
Crying still, as sleep o'ercame her:
"Allie darling, wait for me |"
There they found her, after searching
Many an hour that summer day
And gathered olese in mammals arms,
She told how she ran away.
Mammals eyes were tear d,mmed often
AS she stroked the tsngled hair;
Darling, twas wild-bird's music,
That you heard upon the air."
But the little maid persisted
Twas my name / heard it say.
am sure twas Allie. mamma,
Heaven cast be far away"
