Dreams.

The whole cosmos is in mans brains-as
much of 1t, at least, as mans brains will
hold; perhaps it is nowhere else. And when
sleep relaxes the will, and there are no earth
ly surroundings to distract attention-no
duty, pain, or pleasure to compel it-riderless
Fancy takes the bit in its teeth, and the whole
cosmos goes mad and has its wild will of rs.
Ineffable false joys, unspeakable false terror
and distress, strange phantoms only seen as
in aglass darkly, chase each other without
rhyme or reason, and play hide-and-seek
across the twilit field and through the dark
recesses of our clouded and imperfect con-
seriousness.
And the false terrors and distress, however
unspeakable, are no worse than such real ter
rors and distress as are only too often the
waking lot of man, or even so bad but the
inehable false joys transcend all possible hu-
man felicity while they last, and little while
it is.
We wake and wonder, and recall the slight
foundation on which such ultrahuman bliss
has seemed TO rest. What matters the foun-
dalton il but the bliss be there, and the brain
has nerves to feel it

Laugh. and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone;
mirth, ,
1t has troubles enough ofits own.
Sing. and the hills will answer;
Sigh, 1t is lost on the air
The echoes bound to joyful SOUND,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice. and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go;
They want full measure OF all your Pleasure
But they do not want your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many
BE sac. and you lose them all;
There are none to decline your nectar'd
But alone you must drink 1ife's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by I;
Succeed and give and 1t helps you i've,
But no man can hep you die;
There Is roOln IN Jne nHffs 0t
For a long and o lordly train
But one by one VIC must all f1le on
Through the narrow aisies of pain.
