the swirling .nists; if by the eastern coast
where the German ocean thunders against
granite headlands and mighty precipices,

ever heard; or whether you tramp across

fine highway where modern civilization has
utilized the old Roman roads, and in your

have learned to love highland scenes in a
way that gives you faint notion of the
passionate devotion of the old clansmen for
the glens and straths in which they were
given birth; however you may have come,
by the time you have begun to realize
familiarity and acquaintance with the royal

From the April Forum.


From the April Forum.
Let us sum up the conclusions of this paper:
/. The desire of food has passed the stage of
gluttony and become in Europe and America
only a subordinate branch of general luxury.
2. Sexual love has undergone a clarifying
transformation from a universal brute instinct to
very commonly an eXalting ideal passion. 3.
Incidence has given way to almost feyeIish
activity. 4. Hatred has diminished in fire.
quency and intensity, and revenge has become
obsolete. Anger is perhaps more often self
controlled. 8. Sympathy with suffering has
vastly increased and largely displaced hetero-
pathy and aversion. g. Wholesome Indignation
has waned disastrousy and remorse has dis
appeared. Z. Ayarce has almost died out, and
given place to acquisitiyeness and cOyetousness,
often united with prodigality, and giving rise
to gigantic extension of the vice of gambling.
s. The desire of fame has degenerated into the
love of notoriety. o. The love OF natural
beauty, especially of the wilder sort, has been
born, and has become factor in modern enjoy
ment TO- IIumor is more common, more re-
fined, and more priced. II. Men and women
have become almost nomadic in their habits so
perpetual are their removals and journeys. IL.
The minds Of men have become infinitely more
subtle, their emotions more varied more com
pleX, more rareied in every way; thereby new
dangers of duplicity are incurred, and at the
same time the capacity for high emotional
and intellectual pleasures is enlarged.
