EmerSOn,S Greed.

Emerson regards heaven as name
for the best state of mind and heart to
which men may attain, rather than a
place of half-sensual, earthly delights,
as regarded by the majority. He says:
"The good, by affinity seek the good I;
the vile, by affinity the vile. Thus of
their own volition souls proceed into
heaven, into hell" Souls utterly alb
sorbed in evil, he thought, might per-
haps pass out of existence, as the fol-
lowing extract shows:
Whilst man seeks good ends he is
strong by the whole strength of nature
In so far as he roves from these ends,
he bereaves himself of power, of auxil-
iaries his being shrinks out of all re-
mote channels he becomes less and less
mote, a joint, until absolute badness
is absolute death.
Every movement of nature Emerson
deemed n miracle, wonder-work of
the great Soul of the universe. In
Christ he saw man filled with divine
inspiration. moved by ecstacy of love
and belief to class himself one with
God, because of his sOul-reaching wish
after divine perfection.--Ph renologic

How Not to Talk to Children.

One day / sat in car seat on the
Eastern road behind a pale, careworn
lady who was taking a little boy from
Boston to Maiden. As the little boy
was of very inquiring mind, and
everything seemed to attract bis atten-
ton, l could not help listening to some
of his questions.
What is that, auntie 2" the little boy
commenced, pointing to stack of hay
on the marsh
ooh, that's hay, DEAR" answered the
care-worn lady.
What is hay, auntie?'
"Why, hay is hay, dear"
"But what is hay made OFF"
"Why, hay is made of dirt and water
and air."
WHO makes it ?"
"God makes it, dear"
Does he make it in the day time or
in the night?"
I'm both, dear"
"And Sundays?"
Eyes, all the time"
"Ain't it wicked to make hay on Sun
day, auntie?"
40, 1 don't know. I'd keep still,
Willie, that's dear. Auntie is tired"
After remaining quiet moment, lit
tie Willie broke out:
where do the stars come from,
auntie?"
IL don't know, nobody knows"
"Did the moon lay emp"
Eyes, L guess SO, replied the wicked
lady.
"Can the moon lay eggs, too?"
At suppose so. Don't bother mel"
A short silence, when Willie broke
out again:
Benny says oxins is a owl, auntie, is
they?"
o, perhaps sol"
II think whale could lay eggs
don't you, auntie?'
40, yes-I guess so,' said the shame
less woman.
did you ever see whale on his
nest?"
90, guess sol"
"Where?"
II mean no. Willie, you must be
quiet; I'm getting crazyl"
What makes you crazy, auntie?"
20, dear you ask so many questions !"
did you ever see little fly eat
sugar?"
"Yes, dear"
"Where?"
willie, sit down on the seat and be
still, or I'll shake you. Now, not an
other word ]"
And the lady pointed her finger
sharply at the little boy, as if she was
going to stick it through him. If she
had been q wicked woman she would
have sworn.
There are eight million little boys

The Lion in Art.

No animal has been treated so vari-
ously as the lion. Seeing that he is a
beast showing little difference of type
not having been given over to the
dilettantism of the breeder who has
done so much for the race-horse, nor to
the experiments of the servant who has
played such pranks with the pigeon
it is wonderful how different he looks
in art mt different times and under diff
ferent hands. He has been more con-
ventionalized than any object in nature.
and no "allegory on the banks of the
Nile" can ever have been quite SO al
legorical as the abusive fancy of man
has made him. He has done decorative
duty, preserving only hints of his own
form, and he has passed with art and
literature through the phases of the
heroic, romantic and realistic concep-
ton and treatment 1t must be added
that the royal brute has been fortunate
in his laureates. Rubens-the true
Lion of Flanders preferred him over
all other beasts. and painted him with
the whole might of his vast and enter
prising genius. His imagination had
continual food in his contemplation /;
his imperial hand found continual
pastime In his portraiture. The savage
majesty, the brute romance, the bestial
royalty OF the creature were depicted
by him as by no other painter in all
time. 1t is to be noted that the passion
for painting lions that distinguishes the
master distinguishes his followers and
scholars likewise. Thus his friend and
collaboration, Franz Snyders, was in
spired by the great mans encourage
ment and example to add the living
lion to his models, and to paint lion
hunts and lions in fight where once he
had only painted fruits and flowers and
the fur and feathers of dead game.
Again, the man among moderns who
has best succeeded with the lion is I'M
questionably Eugene DelacroiX, who
was perhaps the best and strongest
pupil the Antwerp master ever had,
and who has drawn and painted lions
and honesses with an intensity of i'm
agination, vigor of line and color, a
mastery of gesture, an energy of con-
ception and execution, that Rubens him
self would certainly have been proud
to own. After the lions of these two
great men, the lions of Landseer and
Rosa Bonheur, good as in some ways
they are, are apt to seem q little tame,
and, as it were, to fall little fiat. 1t
must be owned that the lions of Mr..
Briton Riviere are in much the same
case. That lion of his, for instance,
who is guarding the gentle Una through
the perils of the present exhibition at
Burlington House, is not bit romantic
or impressive; he is kind of carpet

Our Best Society yenal and Shameless.

has caused even our best society to be
venal, hollow and shamelcssly indecent.
The art of money-getting is fast demon
alizing all ranks of society, and it is not
how it is gotten alone, but the fact is it
must be gotten to keep up with the
spirit of the times, which has caused SO
many otherwise worthy men to sacrifice
all positions of trust and honor to the
Moloch of ambition demanding wealth,

The ground is somewhat dry for SOW
