Art and Life

While the name of the Chautau-
qua Literary and Scientific Circle
suggests the study of two great
fields OF thought and effort, it must
not be supposed that science and
literature are the only lines of study
in the Circle. A real culture i'm
plies an outlook over many things.
To understand literature, there piust,
be some knowledge of history and
art, because literature concerns it
self largely with both art and his
tory. SO among the books selected
for the readings of this year is Il
book that is in reality History of
Art. In this active age there are
still some who question the value of
knowing anything about the fine
arts. 1t seems to them inpractic-
able.
1t is difficult to say what is alb
soIutcIy impracticablc. Art seems
so, and vet 50 close are all the arts
interviewer into our lives, so near is
art to us in our houses, churches,
streets. in our actual furniture and
even dress, that inscnsibly we are
affected by it. A real culture can
not leave out art, and the Circle is
wise to include among its books a
large and fully illustrated volume
entitled "Roman and Medieval Art.
The author, W. II. Goodyear, is an
expert in his subject and a historian
Of the arts, 50 that he is prepared to
speak with confidence and in detail
of the rise and progress of archltec-
turc, scul pture and painting, as
shown IN the life OF the ancient Ro-
mans and among the people of Eu-
rope during the centuries we call
Medieval times.
The book traces clearly and in an
interesting style the rise from OBJ
scure origins in prehistoric times Of
that love Of the beautiful that is ex-
pressed in the fine arts. 1t follows
the spread of the arts in the wake
of conquests and along the paths of
commerce, and shows how religions
AS well as domestic and public life
modified the architecture Of all Eu-
rope. The book is illustrated with
nearly two hundred excellent pic
lures, and is divided into chapters
upon the grand divisions of art as
shown by different timesand peoples.

Lift up your heads, O yc ostrich
es. Peep out with blinking eyes
from behind your tads and your
toibles. Raise your heads on high
where they belong and then look at
life as a whole, with a due sense of
proportion, impossible before when
you were so near the ground. What
do you learn? That no one cares
for you, so long as you care only
for yourself; that that the love OF
your fellows is bought with Il price,
a great price whose chief pearl is
your own self-forgetfllness; that
the soul sclt-centered has no part in
a civilization that is only made of
things gained by grain and Drawn
and then thrown into the common
fund ofhumanity.

Live largely, Let lifc's current flow
Like gen'rous food from winter snow
Full, swift, and strong, nor lightly bent
by any small impedimcnt.
The narrow mind is like the stream,
That sparkles bright in summers glcam;
But tiny rock or fallen tree
viii check its journey towards the sea.
Wherefore look wide, and learn to live
On heights which true perspective give,
50 nothing tri vial shall hide
The clear horizon stretching wide.

Some Rambling Thoughts.
BY MEMO.
copyrighted by Dave a Taocr."

The long-legged friend OF heco'
millincrs, with his downy thighs
and tuftcd, is called in again to
point moral by means of that silly
head which he bobs into the sand to
shut out all sights of the world.
Unlike him, his human counterpart
ranges through every climate, UNI
lhonored. Some even are In
YOUR community. Let us at them
and be done with our bird pointer
for a while.
Thou moncy-lover, with not only
head but heart bent down behind a
few ringing coins; through world
whose beauties and noblest joys are
to thee invisible, the avcnger is
stealthily approaching. A little
twingc or pain somewhere, Il little
numbncss in your brain, great deal
Of turning hithcr and thithcr. to
famed physicians-what are these
but warnings Of your fate? Your
tiny heap seems so important toyou
that vou thrust away the very
thought of death and tcvcrishly de
sire to feel forever the magic thrill
OF wealth within your grasp. You
long to get more; vou build it up
around You like wall. Fool !.
Helped by wealth You may fly ON
the wings of the morning to the ut
tcrmost parts OF the earth, but
swttcr than the shadow of an
eclipse the arrow of death will
reach you-and then what have
you? The heap that you trusted
in, as fortress with trouble-proof
bastions, will not save you from the
glazing eye and the rattling throat,
| the clammy sweat and the vague
picking at the bcd-clothes. These
are yours by common humanity
and when they come to you, nothing
material can be taken away into the
darkness. Something cannot be TAX
en- away from nothing; your life is
nothing as you have lived it. You
will close your eyes and lie lifeless
beside the beloved wealth that has
ALREADY closed your eyes to the
needs of the palpitating of misery.

But do | intimate that only ordi-
nary death experiences will come to
You? Nay, if | do, ! lie; for there
will be an outstretching of other
eager hands toward your golden
hcap-thcy are even now waiting
for your death in order TO scramble
for your possessions, and, as likely
as not, behind fragments of your
souPs-aIl will crouch another gen
Grafton of fools. l. that all? No:
for if YOU love wealth more than
kindness if YOU gather from
Impressions; if you wrong and cheat
in order to rake more and more
around YOU, your memory will be
crustcd over with gangrcnous hat
reds. Pleasant and wonderfully
useful though money may be, have
You indeed chose the better part of
| it in contcnting yourself with acqui-
sitions? ? Under the effort your head
with its noble powers, is bowed low
cr even than the animals, who by
getting give and, having done all,
stand to serve humanity. But you
get and give not, and the service of
humanity in any form is out ofyour
range of vision your head is too
low.

Thou fashionable woman, hiding
thy nakedncss behind frumpcries

neglectful of the fact that the mind

The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1897-10-29

On the first page is an article
over the signature, Democratic
Committee. 1t is in repay to an
anonymous circular, the author of
which we suppose is in hiding in the
Republican log cabin. The au-
thor, we have been reliably inform
ed is not a Republican. Be that,
as it may, he was unfortunate in
his statements, which were intend
ed as a serious reflection upon
Judge Cooper, the Democratic rep
resentative for Circuit Court
Judge. 1t is well-known fact
that the Court, in his allowance
far attorney fees, must be govern
ed by the evidence submitted. The
fee was for Stone d Sudduth, and
they alone offered evidence. Hon.
A. T. Wood, after the distribution
of these unfortunate circulars, was
seen. He was mad and said what
l stated in court in regard to those
fees, l stand by, even though it
hazards my election to the office of
Commemorative Attorney. 1t is
the truth and l do not allow my
veracity to be questioned. Thus
it is seen by the evidence of Col.
Wood, which is corroberated by
other distinguished lawyers, Judge
Cooper had nothing else to do but
allow the claim.
