Other Worlds Than Ours.

His soul is i'll, and the grassy expanse,
the tree-foliage, and tho colors and
smell of the flowers come to him and
cure him. He remembers the park
fondly, and is impelled afterwards TO
return to it. Now his mind is well,
his spirit is proud. The same park is
there, but the visitor has no power to
see it. He may bcgrudge the time
taken in the trip.
, A farmer goes across fine field. lie
discovers q Canada thistle, and panic
takes hold of him. He goes home and
endeavors to affect the minds OF his
sons with the same alarm. They must
all get their hoes and search for
thistles, or the farm will DO overrun
and they will all be ruined. A lady,
visiting this farm, goes across the
same field. She discovers long
looked for plant. Her heart is all
aglow, and she takes such q view of
the surroundings that she afterwards
sits down and writes to friend that
she will ever regret this friend might
not have been there just then to share
the scene. She would even have
guessed that her host, the farmer now
panic-stricken over the thistle, would
only have 10 60 to. that same spot to
get the emotions which she enjoyed.
Now let us imagine that her friend, to
whom she writes, by some chance were
traversing that field and there heard of
the death of husband or child. All the
beauties of the scene would still be
there, but the sad effect which they had
on the farmer would DO intensified ten
thousand times in the mind of. the re-
cipient of such news. How truly
Northumb erland speaks in the second
part of King Henry Fourth:
"Yet the first bringer of unwelcome news
Hath but losing Ciiice, and his tongue
Sounds ever after as sullen bell,
Remembered knolling departed friend"
Each man upon this earth lives in
his own world, cocoon, chrysalis,
which has grown less permeable each
year. 1t is idle for us to present our
world to him--when he is not in the
mood to leave his invisible shell. Thus
the author, the painter, the statesman
all who depend for their success on
reaching the inner and finer attributes
oftheir associates-must abide a patient
time. What elected antipathy yester-
day may pass with apathy to-day; may
meet with sympathy tomorrow.
The car of Russia reigns an absolute
monarch because his nations are
pleased that he should. When he
passes by, the peasant feels an exalta-
ton of spirit, and believes that he is in
the presence of something holy. Let
us suppose some angel visited every
home in all the Russias and spoke to
boyard and peasant with the power of
truth. The ten diadems at Moscow
would count for no more than the same
number of crowns in the property
room,of a thcater No assassin would
need to mole his way under the palace
at St. Petersburg. The czar would be
an impossible parsonage.
Louis the Sixteenth of France WINS
yesterday saint and a king. His
associates were counts and dukes and
marquises. To-day his people are
changing their minds. Tomorrow the
king will be a condemned and executed
felon. His associates will be wander
ers on the face of the earth. Even the
church, the very basis of French So
ciely, will be torn out of the hearts of
the people. and God and government
both be defed and set at naught. The
rest of the world, unable to see the
light let in by the French revolution,
will look on in dismay and believe tho
people of whole nation have gone
mad ut one and the same time.
Some years ago German papcr-
carrier on West Madison street in Chi
cago arose at o'clock a. M, washed,
dressed. took street-car, visited the
various newspaper offices, got his
papers, returned to his house. laid his
pile of papers on counter-the place
was laundry-went to the bed where
his wife was still sleeping, shot her
dead, and then lay down beside hor
and took his own life in the same way.
Now what n gulf there was between
the goings and comings of this man
and the life wi,hil him. Truly, the
master was away. Had you met the
body of this man on the street you
would simply have been speaking to
the everyday attributes to whom he
had left the charge of his being.
To-day q shoemaker opens shop at
new stand. A caller asks for Thomp-
son, the former tenant. The inquirer
is informed very politely that Thomp
son has moved to Dakota. The next
caller is told less politely. The next
caller is spoken to formally; the next
CURLY; the next half angrly. Now
you yourself drop in to SEQ Thompson.
You leave that shop with the impress
sion that you met the champion mean
man" You have seen him! There he
is-keeping shop in Thompson's old
place. But you have not 1t did not
rain as hard as you supposed. You
stood under the caves of large roof
and got all the water. That other man
does not move along in the street-car.
He is not a brute necessarily. His lit
tie world may be in utter darkness
His wife may have died yesterday.
She may even be worse than dead to
him. Last week he would have gone
the whole length of the car to oblige
Won. YOu ask the name of tho streot
