The Dread of Death.

It may seem at first sight as if this
universal dread of death in healthy and
normal human beings living under nor
NAL conditions involved certain divine
cruelty. Why should men be tortured
by the dread of death, since death is in
evitable? Gould not God have spared us
that intolerable and purposeless agony?
That is not unnatural questioning of
the rebellious spirit Yet little refec-
tion will show that it is a very absurd
criticism of the ways of God toward
man. Granted that it is the will of God
that we shall remain on earth and live
our appointed lives there, it is essential
that mankind should feel the dread of
death. Without that dread the world
could hardly remain peopled.
The dread of death is to the soul
what the law of gravity is to the body.
It anchors us to the earth. Without that
dread to weigh us down and keep us to
the globe, half mankind would be driv-
en- by curiosity, by the love of change,
by the dread of ennui, by what Bacon
calls 'nlceness and safety, - to push
open the closed door and see what is
beyond. Children and few very happy
and easily pleased people might perhaps
say they would not explore further and
that they were perfectly content with
things as they are.-London Spectator.

The Calligraphy of the dumas.

Both the Dumas hands are those of
busy men, but the elder Dumas could
go on forever. He never stopped to
punctuate. One Of his literary canons
was that clear style punctuates itself.
There is a good deal in this. The son
never missed comma, semicolon, colon
or full stop He had not the fathers ia
cility, which resembled a tropical veg
citation at the end of the rainy season.
The younger Dumas beat his brains
terribly and forced them to bring forth
plays. But his letters were jeux
d'esprit He ought to have been a
preaching monk or an advocate. He
liked to preach and point morals and to
kick his fair penitents to give them real
cause to cry. But he was not the brute
he liked to pass for being. Nothing can
be more refined than his handwriting.
The original manuscripts of his plays
are scarcely legible, the corrections and
erasures are so numerous. But he did
not let the copyist or indeed any strdn-
ger see them, but rewrote and added
pungent and pregnant sentences as he
did SO. The first thoughts of some au-
thors are the best; they were the worst
of Dumas fills unless when he was an
swering a letter Answering, mind. 1t
was then a case of steel responding to
flint. Sparks few. If there was an ex-
plosive about, it went off.-London

The women of to-day are not as strong
as their grandmothers.
They are bearing a burden in silence
that grows heavier day by day; that is

Suffering as thousands of her sisters have

pcrience; to grow well; to enjoy health;
to be as happy as she is.

''rhe March of the Men of HarleOh.r

In military music the march occupies
prominent position and has been en-
ployed not only to stimulate courage,
but also from about the middle of the
seventeenth century to insure the order
ly advance of troops. One of the earliest
instances of rhythmical march is the
Welsh war strain, 1.-The March of the
Men of Harlech, - which is supposed to
have originated during the siege of Har-
lech castle in 1863. In England the mil
itary march was of somewhat later de-
velopment.
Sir John Hawkins in his History of
Music tells us that its characteristic
was dignity and gravity, in which re-
spect it differed greatly from the French,
which was brisk and alert, and apropos
of this subject the same author quotes a
witty reply of an Elizabethan soldier to
the French Marshal Biron's remark
that "the English march, being beaten
by the drum, was slow, heavy and
sluggish. . "That may be true, he
said, but slow as it is it has traversed
your masters country from one end to
the other '-Chambers' Journal

And saw each others face
We need not ask what human lives they led,
Or with what prayers in that wild storm of
flame
Silent they all became.
Men of our kind, they loved the earth and air
And joy of being, loved to buy and sell,
Loved pleasure overwell;
Knew hope, ambition, disappointment, care;
Called oft for help on some all plying name;
