Literary Motto from the Century

Th" extracts from General Garfield y
journal of u fonr months trip to Eu-
rope, made in 1867 with Mrs. Garfield
which are to appear ia the January
Century, begin with the embarkation
At New York, July 18th. In his first
entry Garfield says
" When entered Williams College,
in 1851 probably knew less of Shakes
pere than any student of my age and
attainnents in the country. Though
this WAS > shame TO mo, yet had the
pleasure Of bringing to those great
poems q mind Of some culture and
imagination, and my first Impressions
we're very strong and vivid. Something
like this may occur in reference to this
trip ; and, however much ignorance l
may exhibit, shall here speak OF what
impressss me, whether 1t be that which
has been adj sdgsd rem arkabls Or net.

The Bright Side.
Toledo Blade.


A great many people are fond OF
looking upon the dark side of things.
No matter how bright the present
may be, in the future dark shadows
lie like raving wild beasts ready to
devour the sunshine. Lite is con.
slant burden, made so by antioipations
of evil, for dwelling SO constantly
upon gloomy possibilities turns the
joys that are here into premonilions
Of pain. An English statistician has
been recently exercising himself upon
the terrible future of the human race.
He has convinced himself and now
seeks to convince others that popula~
ton is increasing so rapidly that soon
enough food cannot be raised to sup
ply their absolute necessities. By fig
ures he goes on to show that in 1875
the United States will have 100000, :
600 of people within its borders, a
more dense population than China has
to-day, and the working classes will
be subjected to the most distressing
priYations
Certainly this is most forlorn pic
ture, but, inasmuch as he is obliged to
use many ifs in its drawing, there may
not be and probably is not a particle
of truth in the whole of it. He does
not take into account that steam and
electricity are bringing into avail parts
Of the earth that have been locked
away from human kind; that the in
ventive powers of man are multiplying
resources every day, and as the neces-
slty grows more imminent they will
rise to meet it, and that there are
millions upon millions of acres of land
yet Incorporated which are fertile
beyond compare.
But if these things were not true
and the evil is inevitable, why dwell
upon them now and destroy all enjoy
ment of present goodP IF there is
no remedy-and he does not seem to
point one out, or even to hint of any
why croak of the miseries to be suf.
fered century hence, and endure
them in anticipation
1t is best both for physical and
moral natures, to live in the sunshine
whenever it is possible. Forecast the
future sufficiently to take all reason
able precautions against suf-
fering of any kind and
then live in the present. This is
the right way,bot for individuals and
the nations. The forces that brought
the earth into existence, and that act,
by what we call Natures laws, will
carry on the scheme of creation with.
outlet or hindrance upon our part.
We may sometimes direct their oper>
atoms, but cannot control them en-
tirely. 1t is, therefore, folly to mourn
and groan over what may be, more es-
peoially as 1t is impossible to under
stand what is held in reserve which
may entirely change anticipated re-
suits.
