The Dark Side of Life.

It is clear that at the bottom of Buddhism
lies the notion that life is a bore and a
blunder. So far as Buddha held that ''therc
is no bright side to life" Bishop Coplestone
thinks his doctrine "a hideous falsehood."
So it seems to many persons. If Buddha
had ever got hold of a half volley to leg, or
"wooed a benny lassie when the kye cam
hame," or taken a healthy human interest
forlorn hope, or done a million of other
things, he could hardly have said that life
has no bright side to it.-London News.

Project on Foot to Form an Interna-
tional Labor Union.
MILWAUKEE, March la movement
looking towards the closer af6liation of
the various labor organizations has been
begun in New York. Circulars have
been received in this city calling q IA
tional congress of the various bodies.
The circular in substance reviews the
labor problem and the danger that
threatens it from the large influx of
%non-union and foreign labor, and asks
that all trades unions form an interna-
tional union with permanent headqnar-
tiers at some central point. These Or
CARNATIONS are to unite in a grand
central organization which shall o n
troll all labor organizations in the
United States and Canada.
When a strike in any branch of the
trades is begun it must be first en-
dorsed by the supreme body of that
line, and then by the central organiza-
ton. this body having unlimited power
and will bring all its influence to bear
on the firm against which organized
labor is arrayed. An assessment Is to
be levied weekly upon each laboring
man in every line and the proceeds de-
voted to carrying on the strike. All
union men in the country would be
called out if necessary. The circular is
signed by a committee presumably
from the eastern unions headed by
Charles T. Hewett, New York.
The local labor unions refuse to either
acknowledge or deny the existence of
such a request. but it is known that the
circular has been received here.

THE LAST CHAPTER.

They that went up unto the high
place for to do business, had they not
great heads?
OF a truth, they did much business,
they got there.
They met the enemy on a high hill and
straightway they we're his. They drew
up in battle array, but ne breathed upon
them and they we're not.
In the morning they rose up, they
went forth v~aliantly; they smelt the
battle afar off, their nostrils breathed
forth courage.
They rushed to the fray with eager
ness, they thirsted for the conflict. They
put on the whole armor and went up.
Yea, they went up to fight for: right.
%eousness; and the breezes of the west did
gently fan their cheeks. The south wind
whistled merrily, it whistled and whis-
pered words of cheer.
Unto the high place the chosen hosts
went mp. Like unto the trained cohorts
of olden time went they up to the high
place of rulers.
And the time came-but where were
they? Yea, whereunto were they de-
parted?
It came to pass that fear fell upon
them. Their hearts did quake and the
shadow took away their breath.
For when they were seer they were
not seen, and when they were counted
they we're q broken.reed.
Yea, where were they? 'IThe south
winds whistled merrily AMI it whispered,
Where, oh where? The winds of the
west blew through eli their icamp and
found them not.
For what saith the ancient writing:
Though many be called, but few are
chosen.
And of them that we're called, we're
there not some that were raised? 4 Yea,
we're they not out of sight?
OF q truth they gave ear to thelwords
of him that was called Dynamiter. They
listened to his words Of cunning, he filled
them up.
Peradventure he 'saw" them, that
they we're satisfied; or haply he baited
an hook with smooth promises and took
them az a fisher catcheth the sturgeon.
So it was that when they were called,
all the people were astonished and filed
with wonder; for the people knew them
aforetime, that they were mighty men of
valor who Stunned not the brunt of battle.
But they wilted awsy-they vanished
they we're eaten up.
And woe is in the land OF Norstadt-
woe and sorrow fill the land.
Her people vail and will not be com.
forted. They rend their hairs in bitter
ness.
For no more are they THE PEOPLE,
but another hath scooped the persim-
mon.
The chariot of sweet music moveth on
TO another tune, and the harp and
psaltery play no more to their liking.
Sharp is the tooth of disappointment,
bitter is tue brew of experience.
Swifter than an arrow is evil news, the
messenger of JOY hath no such speed.
Alas, Alas for Norstadt! Alas, for the
Party that was called Grand! The
shrill-toned flute or the loud-rattlirg
drum, shall they ever more gather it to-
gether?
Wall, therefor, yedaughters of Nor
stadt, Woe! and thrice Woe! Anathema
Maranatha!
