GREEK RENAISSANCE.

The dispatches give list of authors
who have signed an address, expressing
sympathy with Greece. All the civilized
world is interested at present in Greece
and the bold and defiant attitude of King
George in projecting Christians in Crete
in defiance of the great European pow
ers The sympathy of all literary men
OF America and Europe lis with Greece in
the contest. For Greece once more to
rear her head and take a high place
among the nations of Europe would be
an achievement grateful to all who love
literature and art.
Around classical Greece there clusters
an historical interest which surrounds no
other country in the world. The Pass
of Thermopylae, and the heroic struggles
OF Beonidas and his Spartan band, is to
every school boy type of valor and de-
votion to duty Themistocles, Particles
and a host of other illustrious names
have made Athens famous. The bravery
and patriotism of the Spartans, whose
women devoted their tresses as strings
for Spartan bows. and gave the male
children as soldiers for the army, are re-
nowned.
The victories of Phillip of Macedon,
readers of history as the battles of the
volutiOnary war.
The language of ancient Greece was
the most plastic and imaginative ever
known it's sweet cadence could initiate
in sound the rolling of the waves OF the
sea on the white sand beach. But the
victories and language of Greece pale
before the glory of its literature. Keno
phon, Heroditus and Thucydides were
the fathers of history, Homer was the
father of epic poetry. Sophocies and
Eurypides gave to the drama all mat
is best and highest in 1t. Demoathenes
was the prince of orators and the mas
ter of invective. as he hurled his philip
les from the market place. Aristotle
Plato and Socrates have never been
squaled in philosophy and pshycoioslcai
thought The literature of Greece mas
an abiding place in the world OF letters
and will remain when that of most MOD
ern nations shall have passed away.

The census of 1890 shows that there
