only Mt distance, we agreed to make
wide circuit at the base of the noun

glass would reveal the cavity and possi-

Stone mountain is a single immense
bowlder, one solid rock rising to a
height of three Thousand feet from an
almost level plain. Its three sides are
all steep, but the facing out upon the
open plain, invisible from the rail
road, is extremely precipitous and in
places perpendicular The soil which
ages had strewn into its crevices and
upon it's dizzy little table-land had
rooted occasional clusters of hardy
black jack oaks, and the vaulting am
bition of some settler had led him to
plant cabin and n vineyard upon the
most sheltered and fertile portion of
the plateau.
At the base of the mountain nearest
the station are the stone quarries. A
number of men were at work in them
cutting paving stone from the foot of
the great bowlder. 1t occurred to me

my Atlanta friend, was interested in

add that the sensation gave them the
same pleasure experienced in witness
ing high tragedy in play? That
may be true enough-up to a certain
point. But beyond that point, even to
the most helpless, irresponsible and
disinterested witness, the scene shakes
off its theatrical pleasure, and becomes
agonizing reality.
There are various elements which
determine this point of conveyance, in
the mind of the spectator, between the
theatrical fascination and the vital per-
sonal terror produced by the tragedy.
One element is time; another individu-
ality. With the individuality of the
participants clearly developed, and
time, the important factor in the result
OF the tragedy, the emotion of terror
becomes supreme with the spectator.
Nor does the amount of fatality in
the balance at all determine the extent
to which the spectator realizes the ter.
ror of the situation.
For instance: 1t is well-established
fact that spectator can witness, with
playhouse pleasure-when powerless to
attempt to prevent inevitable collision
the awful spectacle of two swiftly
approaching trains freighted with
doomed human beings. The people
are concealed. The spectator knows
that they are there, knows that they
are many and that they are surely
doomed. But he does not see the dis
tinct individuals implicated, and he
feels that time holds no hope for deliv.
erance. Therefore he consciously or
unconsciously gets a kind of stage plea.
sure out of the exciting spectacle.
Let me illustrate, from a personal ex.
perience, the point where the elements
of time and individuality render q
tragedy insupportably and supremcly
and disinterested spectator.
Many autumns ago, the approaching
marriage of a family friend furnished
me occasion for u visit to Atlanta

HUMANITY IN WAR.
The Humane and Generous Acts of Noble
Warriors.


Warriors.
1t is related of Henry w., the first
French king of the house of Bourbon,
that while besieging Paris, at that time
held against him by the Catholic league,
he was urgently advised to take the city
by assault before troops daily expected
from the king of Spain could arrive to
Buccor the leaguers. He knew that by
determined assault he could carry the
works before him, but he protested
against it on the principle of humanity.
II will not" said he, "eXpose the
capital of my country to the miseries
and horrors which must follow such an
event | will show to my people that |
am their father; and | will follow the
example of the true mother who pre-
sented herself before Solomon. | will
not gain the prize through the slaugh-
ter of innocent persons"
In time, Henry reduced the city with
the loss of but few lives. In subse-
quent conversation upon the subject of
the number slain, he exclaimed:
IF it were in my power | would give
anything but my kingly honor to re-
deem those citizens, and to have tho
satisfaction of informing posterity that
had subdued Paris without spilling a
drop Of blood"
IL the war of 1896 between France
and Austria, the Archduke Charles,
when Fastening from Bohemia to take
command of the Austrian army, met,
near the scene of a late action, large
number of wounded soldiers, both
French and Austrians, who in the haste
of retreat and pursuit, had been
abandoned where they had fallen. The
only horses at hand which could posi-
bly, be used in removing these helpless
sufferers were attached to the artillery.
Let the cannon be left behind said
the humane prince, ''and let these poor
fellows be saved" And when one of
his generals demonstrated, he added:
mo, no; let it be as | have ordered.
The life of one brave man is better
worth preserving than fifty pieces of
ordnance"
When the French General Moreau,
into whose hands the cannon thus
abandoned had fallen, learned the mo-
tive which had prompted the archduke
to make the sacrifice, he ordered the
whole to be restored, observing that he
should be unworthy of being the oppo-
nent of his imperial highness if he took
advantage of so noble an act of hui
manity, IN. Y. Ledger.

UNDER THE OAK.

Soft the wind. blow and sunshine
In this garden which IS mine;
Scarce hundred yards in girth,
Yet part OF oil tse l2rthl
World for carpet roN OF skies,
Walls of Natures tapestries,
Naught between the sun and me
Save the curtain of q tree.
Here as meath the oak sit,
Whisperings come out of it;
Summer fancies, half desires,
Breaths that fan forgotten fires,
Trembling little waits of song,
Seeking words to make them strong,
Life that dies without a sorrow,
Butterflies Of no tomorrow,
Odors of by-gone day,
All the sweets that will not stay,
All the sweets that never COY,
Unembodied souls of Joy,
Sing and fiutter, fash and go,
With ceaseless interiiow;
Till at last some happier seed
Finds the rest its brothers need,
Strikes root and grows and climbs,
Buds in words and flowers in rhymes.

Golden-dripping through the leaves
Like the grain OF heavenly sheavesf
From the voice of throstle clear
Was it filtered through the carr
Came it thus, or did it come
Borne puon the wild bees nuKl,
THAI q moment bu2zed around
With circle charmed of soundi
Or did Zephyr in a dell
Steal it with scent as we'll
From some hidden tlower.bell,
To instill its life in me
With subtle chemistry
Little knew I, but sense
Solemn, delicate, intense.
Filled my spirit with bliss
Sweeter, holier, than kiss
Liquid, radiant, unthought
That ut once all being brought
Into rarer harmony,
Beast and bird, and sun and trec,
Air and perfume, God and me.
Just rs one whose birthright lost,
Wonder struck and passion.tost,
After many lovelcss day
Sails ut length into ~ bay
Where he thinks his bones to lay,
Finds, indeed, an end TO strife,
Not in dying, but in life.
Friends ana kindred, birthright, all,
With dear love for coronal.
So at length I seemed at home
Underneath that distant domo,
Where the spirit holds at ease
Frank communion with the trees;
Cornrade of the boundloss wind,
Linked in universal mind
With all things that live or are,
From the daisy to the star,
Part for once of Natures plan,
Not the lonely exile-Man.
