OWINBURNE.
Each woman had chosen her Bun
die OF Life, and was ready to take
her pilgrimage to Earth.
And the Gods waited and watched.
For every woman had yet to take
parcel; each must choose Parcel
Of Virtue or Of Vice.
And the Gods smiled, for lol every
woman chose a Parcel of Virtue, and
aud there was not sufficient Virtue
for all the women.
And they said, "Give us more Par
cells Of Virtue" And the Gods re-
piled, Gall the Parcels OF Virtue
have been used; some of you must
take instead Parcels of Vice."
And the women who had already
taken up the Parcels of Virtue hur-
ried away to the Earth, and left the
other women alone with their Par
cells OF Vice.
And the Gods smiled,
But the women wept; and each
took her Parcel of Vice and hid it
beneath her bundle OF Life, and
turned away with bowed head, and
made ready to depart to the Earth.
And the great inscrutable Gods
were sorry for the women, because
they saw that they we're brave and
true. And they said unto the women:
Because your sisters have stolen all
the Virtue from you and left you
only Vice, they shall be cursed, and
the parcels they have taken shall be
curse unto them. And there shall
be war between your parcels and
their parcels, and they shall prevail
in the end. But because you were
brave, and because your sisters took
the best parcels, men in the world
below shall be more gentle with you,
and they shall love you more truly
than they love your sisters-for a
little while. Only for little while,
because in the end, Virtue shall pre-
vail, and your sisters and your lovers
shall curse you, and their children
shall curse you, aud there will be
nothing left you save Death, aud
even OF Death you will grow afraid.
So cast away the Bundles OF Life
you have chosen, and take these in
stead. For little space your life
shall be pleasant, aye, exceeding
pleasant and happy, SO much so that
your sisters will envy you. But be.
ware OF the end-when the cup Of
pleasure is emptied, and only the
dregs remain. For the dregs of that
cup are poison, poison that does
not kill !"
And then the Gods ceased, and
were silent.
And the women bowed their heads
and went down unto the Earth.
And even as the Gods said, so
things came to pass.
And there was war between the
women who had stolen the Parcels
OF Virtue and the women who had
taken the Parcels of Vice. And in
the end Virtue prevailed. And Vir-
tue knew no mercy.
But the Gods smiled.
~ Il y
And the day came when the wo-
mems sojourn on Earth was finished
and they gave up their Bundles OF
Life, and their Parcels of Vice and
Virtue, and returned unto the great
Gods.
And the women with the Parcels
Of Virtue came unto the Elysian
Fields, and stood before the Gods
white, aud pure, and spotless.
And the women who had taken
the Parcels Of Vice came aud stood
outside the gates, and were afraid
to enter, for they we're like fair
fallen, red roses.
And the Gods smiled.

was long ago embodied in the adage
which declares:
man convinced against his will
Is of the opinion still.
A wise saw this, for it not only states
fact but points out the reason for it. Will
is evidently a factor in the case, having
power to nullify clear mental perception
when it is unwelcome, and even to drive
it out. This imperious will that refuses
obedience to the intellect and sets up an
authority of its own is nevertheless easily
swayed by our dominant desires. Like all
other forces, it waits for some motive to
set it in action. Whether it be good or
BAD, noble or ignoble, it is desire that gives
bent to our faculties and rouses will to do
its part. Therefore desire is the real
source of action and lies at the root of all
change.
Those who are successful in guiding the
development of mind follow intuitiveIy,
when not by knowledge, the method indi-
Gated by these facts. A wise teacher never
attempts TO force the mind of his pupil,

He Wouldn't Fetch the Milk.

dispute having long subsisted in a
gentleman's family between the maid and
the coachman about fetching the milk for
breakfast, the gentleman called them
together before him that he might hear
what each had to say, and decide accord
ingly.
The maid pleaded that the coachman
was lounging about the kitchen the best
part of the morning, yet was so ill-natured
that he would not fetch the milk for her,
though he saw she had so much to do that
she had not minute to spare.
The coachman said it was none of his
business.

you call your business?'

insanity, under whose influence reason,
Judgment and even common sense have
been sacrificed. 1t is. indeed, fine line
that divides passion from insanity. 1t
only needs to be sufficiently intense to
mental disease.
The orator who is fired by love of hu-
manity and desire to uplift society will
address his appeal to the nobler nature.
And this better self exists in eyery one.
1t is not the result of education. or of
social advantages, but belongs to every
human being. Indeed, it may we'll be
called the real man in each of us, for who
will contend that the fiery passions which
sweep over his soul are really himself? :?
The inner man endures through all these
experiences, changing slowly and only as
the impulse to change touches the source
of real being. Desire must be awakened
in that inner self or permanent part of
human nature. As its desires are net
passional, but intelligent. the only way to
permanent improvement is by the eleva-
ton of ideals. He alone who prefers the
welfare of his fellow-men to transient
personal popularity will be likely to
adopt this method, but in the end he
alone succeeds. He will lose the wages of
a time-server, but when accounts are
squared, perhaps long after, it will be
found that his idea prevailed.
Is not this the history of the world Z?
What has become of the armies of selfish
leaders who preyed upon human passion
in order that they might gain wealth or
infuence2 In no long time those physical
selves for whom they sacrificed so much
were rotting in dishohored graves. But
the heroes who sacrificed themselves. the
martyrs to truth and justice, as we'll as
the few great inspirers who were beloved
in their day and generation, succeed in
making of their dream q reality. Their
bodies may fall long before the conflict is
ended, but like John Brown, their .ssouls
go marching on"
Great speeches that are remem bered as
epochs in political or national history have
always embodied somewhat of this char
acter. They touched not only upon vital
but upon lasting issues, whose forms alone
are subject to change, according to vary
ing environment. Love of country, the
innate passion of the soul for freedom. are
the same in all times. Desire for progress
and for that measure of peace in which
alone progress is possible are equally
universal among civilized peoples. The
orator who truly appeals to these senti-
ments will find sure response. Fe has
touched a chord that vibrates in unison
with the wider life of humanity, that
serene intelligence OF which his inner self
is part Therefore have his words power
to move and to live also. even when the
storms of passion apparently SO overpow-
erlng have wrought their transient effects
and been forgotten. MERcIE NJ. THIRDS.
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-23

The human mind is a curious study.
It's likes and dislikes, its breadth and little
ness, its exultation and Its despair are
sources of continual surprise to the OBJ
server. When be seeks to fathom the
causes of its mysterious workings it be-
comes the chief of all puzzles. Easily
guided, 1t can yet never be compelled.
There is that in its nature which refuses
to accept impressions imposed upon it
from without. In this respect it may
well be compared to a volume of water,
which may easily be DETECTED in its course
but which no amount of pressure can
otherwise affect.
We talk glibly about changing our
minds and the minds of other people, as
if the process involved nothing more
than the substitution of one opinion for
another. But we know very well. if we
only pause to consider the matter, that
opinions do not always direct mental
action. 1t is possible to hold to an idea
even when we have been convinced that
it is wrong. This fact has been so uni
versally recognized in practical life that it
