The LudiorOnn

There is one modern philosopher who
appears to me to have given rs salts
factory formula Of the ludicrous. That
philosopher is Schopenhauer, unqucs
tionably one CT the most profound and
penetrating intcllects Of this century,
however we may account of his system
rs u whole One of his cardinal doc
trines is that all abstract knowledge
springs from knowledge Of perception
and obtains its whole value from its re-
lation TO perception, And upon this
doctrine he hangs his theory of the lu-
dicrous. The source Of the ludicrous, "
he teaches. lis always the paradoxical
and therefore unexpected subsumption
of an object under a conception which
in other respects is different from it
Or. as he elsewhere in his great work
writes more at large;
1.-The cause of laughter. in every case,
is simply the sudden perception of the
incongruity between a concept and the
real objects which by means Of it we
have thought il q certain association,
and laughter Itself is the expression Of
this incongruity. Now, incongruity &C.
ours il this way: We have thought of
two Or more real objects by means of
one concept and have passed on the
identity CT the concept to the objects.
1t then becomes strikingly apparent,
from the discrepancy of the objects,
i'll other respects, that the concept ap-
plies to them only from one point of
view. 1t occurs quite as often, however,
that the incongruity between single
real object and the concept under which
from one point Of view. it has rightly
been subsumed is suddenly felt. Now,
the more correct the subsumption of
such objects under a concept may be
from one point Of Vow and the greater
and more glaring their incongruity from
another point CT view, the stronger is
the ludicrous effect which is produced
by this contrast. All laughter, there
fore, springs up Oh occasion Of para
doxical and unexpected subsumption.
whether this is expressed i'll words Or
actions "-Ircrtnightly Review.

Ar4OMAC q y VA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10 1896

IN all the earth 10000 times &c, 900
bells shall strike the jubilee. Poverty
enriched. Hunger fed. Crime banished.
Ignorance enlightened. All the cities
taved. Is not this u Cause worth work
ing in?
Oh. you think sometimes it does not
amount to muchl You toll on in your
different spheres, sometimes with great
Encouragement. People have not faith
and say: SIT does not amount to any
thing. You might as we'll quit that. "
WHY, when Moses stretched his hand
over the Red sec it did not seem to
mean anything especially. People came
out, suppose. and said, "Ahap' Some
of them found out what he wanted to
do. He wanted the sea parted. 1t did
not amount to anything, this stretching
out of his hand over the sea. But, after
awhile, the wind blew all night from
tie east. and the waters were gathered
into glittering palisade Oh either side,
and the pillows reared as God pulled
back on their crystal bits. Wheel into
line. O Israeli March. march! Pearls
crashed under feet Flying spray gathers
into rainbow arch of victory for the
conquerors to march under. Shout Of
hosts on the beach answering the shout
of hosts amid sea. And when the last
line of Israelites reach the beach, the
cymbGls clap. and the shields clang, and
the waters rush over the pursuers, and
the swift fingered winds on the white
keys of the foam play the grand march
Of Israel delivered and the awful dirge
of Egyptian overthrow.
So you and 1 go forth, and all the
people of God go forth. and they stretch
forth their hand over the sea. the boil
ing sea of crime and sin and wretched-
ness. 1T doasnt't amount to anything, "
people say. Doesn't it? Gods winds of
help will, after awhile, begin to blow.
A path will be cleared for the army Of
Christian philanthropists The path will
be lined with the treasures Of Christian
benefcence, and we shall be greeted to
the other beach BY the clapping Of all
heavens cymbals, while those who pur-
sued Us and derided US and tried to de-
stroy US will 60 down under the sea,
and all that will be left of them will be
cast high and dry upon the beach. the
splintered wheel CT chariot, or thrust
out from the foam. the breathless nos
tril OF riderless charger.

An OLD Miracle Improved.

The water cycle that skins along the
placid Cuyahcga and occasionally ven
lures out beyond The protecting break

1t isn't lovely TO lock at. the somewhat
humorous way in which the perched up

The water cycle was at Put-in-Bay o
few days ago, and the natives opened
their eyes at it. One old lady is said to
have rushed to her friends, crying:

Who never knew our God,
But children OF the heavenly King
Should speak their joys abroud.
PRAISE We the Lord. Let everything
with breath praise the Lord. " In the
glorious time coming i'll our cities and
in the world hosanna will meet hosan-
ma, and halleluiah, halleluiah.
How 1t VIII Be Done.
In that time also of which l speak
all the haunts of iniquity and crime AID
squalor will be cleansed and will be IL
Illuminated. How is it to be done? You
say, perhaps by one influence. Perhaps
l say by another. 1 will tell you what
is my idea, and l know l am right i'll it,:
The gospel of the Son of God is the only
agency that will ever accomplish this.
A gentleman in England had theory
that if the natural forces of wind and
tide and sunshine and wave were rightly
applied and rightly developed it would
make this whole earth paradise. In q
book of great genius, and which rushed
from edition to edition, he said: Eel
low men, promise to show the means
of creating paradise within ten years,
where everything desirable for human
life may be had by every man in super
abundance without labor and without
pay-where the whole face of nature
shall be changed into the most beautiful
farms, and man may live in the most
magnificent palaces, in all imaginable
refinements of luxury, and in the most
delightful gardens-where he may 40
complish without labor In one year
more than hitherto could be done in
thousands of years. From the houses to
be built will be afforded the most Gull
tI1red views that can be fancied. From
the galleries, from the roof, and from
the turrets may be seen gardens as far
as the eye can see, full of fruits and
flowers, arranged in the most beautiful
order, with walks, colonnades, aque-
ducts, canals, ponds, plains, amphithea-

Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1896-03-11

Our readers have seen that there il an
intense dissatisfaction with the action
Of the Richmond members OF the Legs
lature on the part OF a very large ana III
fluential portion of the community. Inc
grievance complained of is that they ae-
feated the bill calling for a SUBMISSION
10 the popular vote Of the city OF the
question of an amendment OF its char-
fer I'm some certain particuiars'--1he
Lynchburg Advance.
AS time passes, our people see more
and more clearly how great mistake
was made when the Richmond legisla-
five delegation failed 70 rise and advo-
cate the submission of the proposed char
ter amendments to the people.
All that was asked was that our voters
might have the privilege of saying
whether or not they wished the city char
ter amended as proposed. And IT
