A blind old man with long hair. snowy whitst
And 81 his side \ little maiden fair,
with golden locks and large eyes blue and bright.
The old man listened to the prattling child,
Who told Of sights that hlled her with snrpriesi
He turned his head this way and that, and smiled
A II he saw them with the maidens eyeA
She told him Of the wonders she could see
In the store windows where, In ixht array,
Beautiful dolls q fairy company,
Gszed forth on all who passed along the way.
She told how horses, prancing through the strests
The gorgeous e1uipnges drew along.
Prom which, reclining on the cushioned seats,
Fair women looked upon the passing throng
And then they turned their steps into park,
And sat upon bench beneath the trees;
The old man. though the world to him WAS dark,
Heard the birds sing, the leaves stir In the breeze.
He heard the waters Of the fountain fall,
And with the little inaiden's eyes could sec
Trees and the children sporting merrily.
Tho 10y Of all the world he seemed TO share
And lose in others happiness the sense
OF his affiiction, for he had no air
OF sadnesss or Of suffering intense.
Looking upon his patient smiling face,

NATTRE IN ROOKS

There is a healthy change of late
in our periodicals showing that an
attempt is being made to lead the
minds of readers to more careful
study and tender appreciation of ma
ture One of the best results of
Darwin's work on the masses was
the impression made that much val
liable information could be gained
from the contemplation of the com
monest objects if the heart was
properly attuned and open to the
teaching lying hid in the works dali
ly spread before us. 1t is not the
farcical attempt to make human a
tree or beast that pervaded the
minds of the singers Of Arcadia and
was the real motive latent in each
stroke of Landseer's brush, but an
apprehension that these lower bro
theirs were worthy of study for
themselves and not merely for the
lessons they might teach until Alex
ander Wilson told the truth; the
lion and eagle were only studied to
furnish types for kingly authority
and Button was the fanciful ideal of
the naturalist.
Then the sentimentalists tried to
make us more tender to animal ma
ture than Buddha, and claimed that
the insect had rights we were bound
to respect, even when these conflict
ed with our duties or convenience.
Out Of these have grown the
modern doctrines that it is cruel to
cut stick unless it is needed, but
we have a right to destroy insect or
animal life which is antagonistic to
our slightest necessities. And our
magazines are ministering we'll to
this real love of nature and her WAYS.
and in this way correcting much of
our morbid proneness to look within
ourselves which is inherited from
orr kinship with roundhead and
coyenanter
The tender articles in The Cont.
nent under the title Tenants of an
old Farm" are valuable for this, and
in the June Harper is a continuation
of the excellent sketches on ''Na

ried slave of business cares a coun.
