Control and restraint OF the th hiking

The Present predicament of Per-

In this age of effort, when literary
blossoms open upon every bush, when
every drawing-room undertak es to be

Madame Recamier, the attitude of a
simple, self-respecting citizen amid the
distinguished company is one of poise
and difficulty. There stands before
you, let US suppose, hemmed In by his
admiring throng, the first poet of the
day, to whom IN a moment You must be
presented whether you viii or no.
What docs he know of you? What on
earth will you find to say? Here comes
young essayist whose first book has
met with some success. He Is trying
hard TO look unconscious, but it will
never do to ignore him. You have
read the record of his reflections with
out an overwhelming sense of its pro-
fundity; on the whole, however, you
like 1t passably well. Are you to tell
him Just that and no more? And b. re
is a third and a most prolific writer,
whose thick-comlng fancies you have
never liked and have now ceased to
read. He has lately published a new
volume, more disagreeably potent than
the others. Good Heavensl His eve
has fastened upon yours. He comes to
talk with you; there is no escape; and
what, short of mortal offence, will be
the outcome of your interview?
WHAT NOT TO SAY TO AN AUTHOR.
Unless you are gifted with an extra
ordinary memory, attempt neither to
quote nor to mention one OF his char
acters by name. Above all, erase from
your vocabulary one fatal adjective.
Whatever your thought, do not call his
contribution to our native literature a

seems, it may have cost him months of

then, to remind him that the result is

This trihing act of consideration is

MerCIfuI.

The Indians believe that if the STILL
ness over the waters of lake be broken
by any careless word the spirits of the
place will be offended. In the days of
the early settlers, We are told. white
woman had occasion to cross Lake Sara
toga, and the Indians, who were to row
her across, warned her of the danger
that one rash word might bring; bat of
course, being a white woman, she was
superior to all such superstitious no
tions.
1t was a calm, cl0udless day, and the
canoe sped like an arrow across the
smooth waters. Suddenly, when in the
middle Of the lake, the strong minded
woman determined to prove to these
simple folk the folly OF their belief So
she lifted up her voice in wild cry that
woke every echo of the hills.
The Ind ans were filed with conster-
nation. They uttered no word, but,
straining every nerve, rowed on In
frownlng silence. They reached the
shore in safety, and the W man tri-
umphed; but the Mohawk chief looked
upon her in scorn. 1.-THE Great Spirit
is merciful," he said; '.he knows that
the white woman cannot hold her
peace"

There is beautiful story told of one
of Napoleon's soldiers. Latour D'Au-
yergne was very modest and unambi-
tious, but he was very brave man,
and there came time when he had an
opportunity to show his skill as we'll as
his courage. A portion of the French
army was in danger. The Austrians
must not be permitted to go through a
certain mountain pass. If they could
be held back twenty-four hours, all
would be well. Greuadier D'Auvergne
carried the tidings to the Ere 4 fort,
but 10, the thirty men who composed
the garrison had all fed. But they had
left their guns and ammunition. At
once the grenadier determined he would
individually and alone hold the situa-
ton. The Austrians were approaching.
The cannonade began. In quick sue
cession, and with precision, the guns
were fired. Little did the enemy
imagine the work of destruc ion was all
done by one man. Again and again
they approached the defile, but each
time they were repulsed with great loss
of life. At length the trumpet was
sounded from the fort. "We are ready
to yield if we may go out of the fort
carrying our guns with US" This was
readily granted and then Grenadier
D'Auvergne walked forth loaded down
with arms. "Where are the others?"
was the inquiry. There are no
othersT was the response. bow sur
prIsed and chagrined were the Aus
trians! They looked down upon that
solitary man with wonder and then with
admiration. They pronounced him
1.-The bravest of the brave" and men
were sent to carry out the guns he
had used.
Is it surprising that France was proud
of this man, and that Napoleon offered
him high position in the army? This
he refused to receive. He was satisfied
to remain a grenadier, and to serve his
country and his general to the best of
his ability as a common soldier. But
when. shortly after, in the year 1909,
he fell in battle, the emperor ordered
tnat his name should not be dropped
from the muster roll; each day it was
called, and then a sergeant stepped
forth, and with a distinct voice re-
sponded: dead, on the field of honor. ."

Sympathy.


VINO fha' bears

How dear are all those ties which bind ou,
In sentleneSs together. ard how sweet
Their force, let Tor -Une's wayward hand the
Be kind OF cruel:-'
The Ulvinest Il all human emotions
IS this. tor, like mercy, ''it blesseth him
that gives and him that takes, " and
hone but the beStower and The receiver
know its true worth. Saws Alcott:
''Sy mpatiIy wanting, all Is wanting.
Its personal magnetism is the conductor
OF the sacred spark that lights cur
atoms, and puts US into human CON-
munion with our fellowmen."
vi a higher AMI more ennobl'ng nat
ure Is it than Pity, for though sweet
and tender as that may be, tits bestowed
up the helpless. the unfortunate. some
times even upon the wrong-doer; hut
sympathy unites all finer natures one
with another.
We would not go SO far as Carlyle,
who has somewhere written, "Of a
truth men are mysteriously united: a
mystic bond of brotherhood makes all
men one."
Surely the ph ilosopher and sage could
not have penned these lines had he been
the stern and rugged character by some
depicted. Yet who would not rather
consider that beautiful quality too
precious 10 lie SO indiscriminately lie
slowed!
Then there Is numerous class who,
though within the pale of humanity,
are SO wrapped up in their own self-love
as To be utterly devoid of that sacred
spark" and these may be among our
associates, our friends, or even relatives.
Yet how Tar asunder!
We are fain TO say, with Euripedes:
"Th' man who melts
With social sympathy. though not allied
Is than a thousand kinsmen of more worth -
Let US now glance at an opposite pic
ture- There Is some hing of a sadden-
Ing nature in this craving for sympi-
thetic word or tone or glance, and we
feel ourselves aggrieved if, perhaps, at
the very moment when it would have
been most highly priced, that such an
angel visitant illumines not our path.
Again We NAV quote Alcott. who, in
the endurance of one of LIES many bat
ties, has wisely answered to a conSola-
tory friend:
strengthen me 10y sympathizing with
my strength, not my weakness"
And how delicately offered Is this
sweet emotion, in these few lines of
Shakespeare:
When thou, haply. see'st
Some rare, noteworthy object in thy travel,
Wish me partakeT in thy happiness;
And IN thS danger.
II ever danger do iuyiron thee.
Commend thy grievance To my holy prayers,
And Will be Thy bedrsman.H
Such as these, II sincere, are rare
cases, and It's wiser not TO rely too
much upon them.
The following, though reading som =
what harshly, after Shakespeare's sen;i-
ment, yet contain a fund of true phi
losOphy:

Weep. and you weep alone
