eray, or even Charles Dickens. A study of
Addison, Bacon, Shakespeare or others o..
great name and fame, did very we'll for a
former generation before the telegraph was
invented, when people had time for con-
temptation, but now, with all OF the history
of the world to take in in the daily papers,
the great masters of the mind must be con-
tent to return to dust upon library shelves,
unopened save by the few. The emotions,
the passions, the sensations all find plenty
to keep them going by the telegraph and

wisny-washy, or nasty, notorious or sensa-
tional to fall back upon.
IT'S WITH Us TO STAY.
But does electricity tend to injure the con-
science or deteriorate the intellect? Is ''its
universal result to over-fill the mind with
undlgested and indigestible scraps and SEN
sational items, the ultimate outcome of
which will be to paralize reflective power?"
Will the blessings of electricity balance its
blights?
However these questions may be answered,
it is manifest that electricity is with us for
veal or for woe. The world could not go on
without the telegraph, although it did do so
pretty well 100 years ago. The powers of
electricity must be developed even if its re-
suits are immoral and injurious to intelli-
gence and reflection. The children of Israel

or to realize Utopian dreams of happiness.
