He does not intend to pay for what
he gets if he Can avoid doing so. He
sets up all sorts of mean and lying ex.
cuses for not paying his just debts,
especially the small debts which he
knows his creditors cannot afford to
for. Often he is a successful bu-
siness man, running a bank, or a big

but he is a pirate at heart Just the

goods or services without paying for
them. Newspaper publishers are Pc

rivers and the balsamic breath of its hills giving purity and healing to its atmosphere, I regretted most of all the parting with the snow- peaks. On the morning of our departure. Nature, as if determined to be unkind, had filled the valley with dense yellow fog, and though we knew that the sil- yer crests shone in the upper sunshine, we could not see them. As we passed down the Columbia the sky cleared, but great bluffs shouldered between and the continuous spurs of the coast range made it impossible for us to catch a glimpse of the more distant mountains. 1 breathed a sigh of fare- we'll to the peaks which had been my friends so long and tried to forget in admiring the noble scenery of the shore and the beautiful though mighty river, my disappointment at being de- nied a final parting with my favorites.
 That afternoon, however, as l stood on the deck of the steamship ''Ore- gon," watching the lessening shores as we left the river for the sea, something distant and shining far up the valley met my eye. The sun was declining and the lights were strong in the east, and there, against the violet sky. my mountains unveiled themselves to re- ceive my last farewell. I knew them at once the slender spire of the one, the cumbrOus form of the other, but at this distance they were equally glo- rious, equally ethereal. gazed long ingly at them, shining like icebergs above the low, green crest line, and becoming fainter as we went further. We changed our direction, and the shore heights pushed themselves across the rivers mouth. Hidden by spur for moment, the glittering visions slid across the valley the next, seem- ingly determined to keep pace with us, and finger in the presence of their lover, as they are sure to do in her memory. But the tardiest parting must at last come; great mountain, black with trees, swept between, and tall, lateral range showed a succession of peaks which betokened that our farewell was over. But now, as then, and evermore, as now, l send regretful thoughts back to the twin peaks by the western sea, and with the poet say to them
 Lifting the purple curtains of the gods With flashing helmets that defy the clouds, And make fierce fellowship with undimmed
 stars;
 Mount Hood and fair St. Helcn's snows cter.

Art an End in Itself.

Colonel Insersoll. In North American Review,
 The artist working simply for the sake of enforcing a moral becomes & laborer. The freedom of genius is lost, The artist is absorbed in the citizen. The soul of the real artist should be moved by this melody of proportion as the body is uncon- sciously swayed by the rhythm ot a symphony. No one can imagine that the great men who chiseled the stat. ues of antiquity intended to teach the youth of Greece to Dc obeiient to their parents, We cannot believe that Michael Angelo painted his grotesque and somewhat vulgar "Day ot Judg- ment" for the purpose of reforming Italian thieves. The subject was in all probability selected by his em- ployer, and the treatment was . question of art, without the slightest reference to the moral effect even upon priests. We are perfectly certain that Carot painted those infinitely poetic landscapes, those cottages, those sad poplars, those leafless vines on weather tinted walls, those quiet pools, those contented cattle, those fields fiecked with light, over which bend the skies, tender as the breast of 6 mother, without once thinking of the ten commandments. There is the same difference between moral art and the product of true genius that thcro is between prudery and virtue.
 The novelists who endeavor 10 en- force what they ara pleased to call moral truths cease to bc artists. They create two kinds of characters-types and caraicatures. The first never has lived, and the secnnd never will, The real artist produces neither. In his pages you will find individuals, nat ural people, who have the contradic- tions and inconsistencies inseparable from humanity. The great artists "hold tho mirror up to nature," and the mirror reflects with absolute ac- curacy. The moral and the immoral writers-that is 10 say, those who have some objects besides that of art use convex or concave mirrors, or those with uneven surfaces, and the result is that tho images are monstrous and deformed. The little novelist and the little artist deal either in the im- possible or the exceptional The men of genius touch the universal. Their words and work throb in unison with the great ebb and flow of things They write and work for all races and for all times.
