Emerson's Americanism.

Emerson's Americanism, therefore, was
Americansm in its last and purest anal
ysis, which is giving to him high praise
and to America great hope. But | do
not mean to pay him, who was as full OF
modesty and humility, the ungrateful
compliment of holding him UP as the per-
manent American ideal. 1t is his ten
denotes, his qualities that are valuable,
and ouly in a minor, incipient degree his
actual results. All human results must
be strictly limited, and according to the
epoch and outlook, Emerson does not
solve for all time the problem of the uni
verse: he solves nothing; but he does
what is far more useful-he gives di-
rection and an impetus to lofty human
endeavor. lie does not anticipate the
lessons and the discipline of the ages,
but he shows us how to deal with Cir
cumstances in such manner as to secure
the good, instead of the evil influences.
New conditions, fresh discoveries, unex-
pectei horrors opening before us will, no
doubt, so far carry us beyond the scope
of Emerson surmises, but We shall not
so easily improve upon his aim and atti-
tude. In the space beyond the stars
there may be maryels such as it has not
entered into the mind of man to con-
ceiye; but there, as here, the right way
to look will still be upward, and the
right aspiration be still toward humble
ness and charity.

An Original WING Feature,
THE RAINY DAY.

1t is good thing to follow the ad-
vice of the clever wit and lay up an um-
brella for rainy day. We cannot tell
how soon storm may come upon the
picnic we are having in this life and make
it very useful article to have around.
But there are several other things
equally as important to have at hand
when the rain breaks upon us. Content
ment is one of them; probably the most
momentous one of them all. When the
down-pour does overtake us there is
nothing for us to do but to sit down and
watch the drops, and if we have not
cultivated the charm of contentment it
is going to be very unsatisfactory and
irrating employment. On the other
hand, no matter what the circumstances,
he "who is content, is happy" 1t is a
good thing, therefore, now while the
sunshine is about us, to lay up store of
cheerful acquiescence in things as we
find them and thus be prepared to fitly
meet the moist future. Along with this
satisfaction of mind We may very pre-
perly include clear conscience, a glad
recollection of having always practiced
the precept of the Golden Rule and fair
share of Christian charity. These attri-
butes added to the umbrella will pretty
ably equip us to encounter the trials and
tribulations of the damp day.

FADED LEAVES.
BY ALICE CAREY.

The hills are bright with naples yet;
But down the level land
The beech leaves rustic in the wind
AS dry and brown as sard.
The clouds in bars of -:
Along the hill tops
And in the still sharp 49, --~...,v
Is like dream of snow.
The berries of the briar-rose
Have lost their rounded pride,
The bitter-sweet chrysanthemums
Are dropping heavyeyed.
The cricket grows more friendly now,
The dormouse sly and wise
Hiding away in the disgrace
OF nature from mems eyes.
The pigeons in black wavering lines
Are swinging tow 'rd the sun;
And all the wide and withered fields
Proclaim the summer done.
His store of nuts and acorns now
The squirrel hastes to gain,
And sets his house in order for
The Winters dreary reign.
'Tis time to light the evening fire
To read good books, 20 sing
The low and lovely songs that breathe
OF the eternal Spring.
