soothed by the silver lining of buoy

suffering. Music suggests reflection
by fixing attention and causing the
mind to muse on the thoughts awak
ened at the sound of it's strains. When
the church.organ begins to play we all
feel religious, and are conscious of a
reverential mood stealing over us and
intuitively exhorting us to search oul
past lives for regretted acts. 1t is not
too much to say that without music
religion would be chemically mort

art to religious thought and in so doing
serves as it's best ally and friend
Home music leaves an imprint on

ton in any of its members to wander
at nights in search of recreation. Its
presence nourishes feeling of in
tense love for home, a respect for vir.
tue and higher conception of the
duties of life by teaching the value of
domestic felicity.
Man without music is as a bird with
out song, a rose without scent and a
diamond without brilliancy. The un-
musical are cold and formal, lacking
in emotional strength and depth of
sympathy, narrow of view and self
centered in ambition. TO cultivate a
love of music is to polish character
with refinement of mind, and when
the mind is ennObled morals are pure.

WITH the present issue THE MIRROR
enters the tenth year of its existence,
flushed with success, full of hope and
promise and with increased confidence
in it's ability to maintain the high
standard of excellence that has marked
its long and creditable career. Born
amid difficulties that seemed to stamp
defeat as it's destiny, it has steadily ad-
vanced in favor until it now occupies
the proud position as the leading insti-
tutional paper in the world. Under
the guidance of able hands it has
waved the lighted torch of knowledge
and spread the truth of social wrong
with strict adherence to fairness and a
conscious faith in it's value as an edu-
Gator, and while not always dignifed,
it has ever been sincere. Its mission is
to teach the moral and material worth
of the golden rule, without prejudice
or favor to any class or wrong. Since
the day of its inception, its editors have
been men schooled in experience, well
versed in the ways of the world and
painstaking in their efforts to make it
welcome visitor, not only to the NOR
alist and reformer, but to the fireside
of the home. On its weekly travels it
goes we'll freighted with the choicest
selections and wisest of counsel. 1t
reaches not only every state and terri
tory, including Alaska, but the far dis
tant land of the Grand Mogul- literally
from "Greenland's icy mountains to
1ndia's coral strand" and wherever
found it has value peculiarly its own.
To its exchanges, ever kind, THE MIR
ROR returns thanks for their words of
encouragement and forbearance with
the many violations OF the ethics of
journalism they must undoubtedly find
in it's columns. In the future as in the
past, it will endeavor to deserve we'll of
its supporters and show that the pris-
oner is more often victim of misfor
tune than crime.

demned to death at Puerto Principe

the carnal horrors of Spanish warfare.
Wherever the Spaniard has a foothold

his still more cruel love. The darkest

fades besides the barbarous records of
the Castilian Alvas now desolating
Cuba, and when their true pages are un-
folded the responsibility of the United
States will be but little less than that

THE conviction of DR.. Jameson, the
Transvaal raider, by jury of his own
countrymen exempIifies the trend of
thought actuating the enlightened
views of the age. The kind of patriot
ism that DR.. johnson labeled as the
"last refuge of the scoundrel'' has
ceased to be of value in swaying the
minds of men who have a regard for
justice. The time has passed when
legalized highway robbery can be con-
doned by an appeal to maudlin senti-
ment. mis- called patriotism, and it's
promoters exalted as national heroes.
For very shame England was compelled
to punish him and his co-conspirators,
and in so doing she has earned the re-
spect of the world. The cause of JUS
tice and honest dealing grows with the
advance of science, commerce and re-
ligious, political and social morals.
What the dawn of the twentieth CEN
fury needs, more than reformers, is

fowery ridicule the Don Quixotes of
politics and religion.

music AND MORALS.

Music, waiting sound on the wings
of harmony, with its mystic power to
sway the emotions of the human heart
is factor in the formation of moral
character that cannot be lightly judged
or regarded as mere ornamental &C.
complishment. Without it there can
be no serenity of mind or uniformity
of temperament to infuse self-con-
sciousness. Man is born with a mus
ical taste, and as it is cultivated so will
his moral traits incline; the standard
of taste being an index to his standard
of living. Between the discordant
notes of hand.organ and the exqui-
site strains of grand upright piano
there is the same dissimilarity as ex-
lists between vulgarity and a highly
sensitive nature. A musical educa-
ton imparts an intellectual relish for
kindred accomplishments by refining
the mind with sympathy for the pure
and beautiful. A lover of good music
is always amiable, contented in his
sphere of life and worthy of trust and
confidence. He is seldom, if ever,
found wanting in the qualities that
make an agreeable companion, sin
cere friend and good citizen. To him
the world is symphony of pleasure,

COMMON sense is not learning OF
smartness, but the faculty of concen.
trating intelligence on the basis of
judgment and employing it to meet the
needs of an emergency A knowledge
of men, how to judge them, to guage
their idiosyncrasies and smooth their
prejudices by delicate and we'll. directed
reproof, and the ability to point out
remedies for difficulties arising in
everyday life, together with an apti-
tude for detecting ones own mistakes
and readiness to admit them when
shown by others are the reasoning
qualities that balances common sense.
The man who has the tact to relieve
others of embarrassment, who can
gloss ruffied temper by seeming but
graceful acquiesence in the contradict
ton that aroused anger, who under
stands his own capacity for giving and
receiving advice and who has the power
of self-control is the one valued for his
practical worth.

THE essential quality of success is
faith in ability to attain it. Viewing
the object of our ambition as beyond
our reach on account of seeming diff
culties is the first step to failure. With

THE ROMANCE OF CRIME.

THE flabby sentimentality that halos
crime with false romance and adorns
it's star actors with the attributes of
heroism, is potent agency for devel-
oping the criminal instinct long recog-
nized as an evil resulting from love
of the heroic. All men admire courage
and venerate it's ideals who rise above
the ordinary plane of human activity
by an unusual display of will or phys
ical power. Enthusiasm, like love, is
blind to the faults of its devotees, and
in the unreasoning haste to pay hon.
age to the object of its admiration, it
seldom stops to consider the motive
that prompted the deed. The foolish
and exalted ideas of crime entertained
by many people who are weirdly
charmed by the ignis-fatuus glare of
its supposed pleasures and profits, is a
lingering streak of the old spirit that
adored Robin Hood or Captain Kidd
and panegyrized the escapades of some
quixotic hero "who robbed the rich to
give to the poor In this prosaic age
feats of heroism that appeal to the
militant or hero-worshiping spirit are
rare, and to supply the lack of legiti-
mate ideals, some gaudy mountebank
in sensational crime is elevated to a
patent of nobility and his qualities ex-
tolled as worthy of emulation. Lurid
literature and the practice of viewing
some sickly egotist, who has commit
ted some peculiarly atrocious crime,
with mingled feeling of awe and re-
spect are the twin causes that effect
wild and extravagant notions of crime
and its visionary romance. Stripped
VI 1lo lOuduCC d11U SScu 1IOH lCS True
point of view, crime has little to charm
but much to instruct. Around it is
entwined the sum of human misery
and shame; it's every phase is mar
shalled to bear witness to it's unprofit-
ableness. The world is arrayed against
it, and what excites the wonder of ev-
eryone acquainted with it's inner mys-
teries is the extraordinary risk in
CURED in securing it's miserable re-
turns. No true criminal ever conceals
the terrible realities of his profession,
or advises others to embark in it's
stormy career. He has drained it's
bitter cup of woe and tasted the fruits
of it's grim miseries, and knows aught
of its romance but what flows from
the abnormal imagination Of the lover
of sensationalism.
