THE CREED OF THE LION.
(From the Baltimore News.)

The creed of the lion is as old as the lion
and as young as the cub that plays
With the tasseled jaw and the sharpened
claw and the tail of the notified maze.
The creed of the lion is to feed the lion
and the jungle knows his roar.
And it knows the glare of the eyes that
Hare when the lips are thirst for gore!
The creed of the lion is good for the lion,
and that's as it ought to be;
For under the law of the jaw and the paw
and the trail and the jungle tree
The lion must live and the lior must have
and the jungle knows his right,
And it knows the cry VIII n the whelps defy
the creed and the law of might.
The creed of the lion is the will of the
lion, and back of the will the claw;
And back of the paw and the jungle law
the thirst for gore in the jaw.
For what is a king if he be not king 2
And strange If it should befall
That under the swing of the jaw of the
king there came not death at all!
There came not darkness unto those-little
and weak and light
Who bend their knee at the jungle tree
and ask for the law of right;
Earn 1t and ask it first then go out on the
trail to strike #
Fools to have thought that their servlc4
had bought the freedom of like for liked
The creed of the non rs as old as the lion
>, and as young as yesterday
To give the least that the law Will give.
and take the most awayi
AS Old as the lion, but as blind as the Gun
that follows the trail of years,
And thinks 1t is free till it comes to the
tree of Common and King and Peers

DECEMBER MAGAZINES.

The next number of Literature win
appear on Wednesday, Dec. 6, and this
periodical will hereafter be published
in New York on Wednesday of each
week instead of Friday, as heretofore.
The first three volumes of Literature,
English and American editions, were
Identical in all respects. During the
present year the American edition has
differed from the English edition in
giving greater prominence and more
space to American literature than the
English edition The publishers say
they found, however that many of the
readers of this periodical would prefer
to have it in its original form, without
additions or emendations, and they
have decided to substitute the English
for the American edition.

full article on Woman" by a writer
using the nom de plume of Libra, "
whose real name it would be interest

in the following: Representing the

The New City Hall" in Worcester,

commission from the city council
edited by Franklin P. Rice and print
ed by F. S. Blanchard & Co.
On the ninth of January, 1899, a COM
munication was transmitted from the
city hall commissioners to the city
council, stating that the commission
had completed its duties and asking to
be relieved from further service. This
communication was referred to a joint
special committee, consisting of Alder
men George F. Wall and Thomas j.
Barrett and Councilmen Albert H. In
man, Jchn E. Lancaster and James f.

OF magnitude in the erection Of the new
city hall commissioners whose services
were so freely and so faithfully given
in the furtherance of a great public
work We're unanimously of the opinion
that such acknowledgment should
take the form of lasting memorial in
print, and Aldermen Barrett and Ian
caster were chosen a subcommittee to
take the matter in charge and carry
this purpose into effect. In accordance
with their instructions, they have
caused the materials for this volume
to be collected and arranged for pub
LEGATION, and it is now offered as a tes-
timonia' of gratitude to the city hall
commissioners by the city council of
Worcester, acting in behalf of the cit
liens generally. In consequence of the
death or Aug. s, of Alderman Wall the
committee in charge of this publication
was reorganized by the appointment of
Alderman Charles A. Vaughan to fill
the vacancy and the choice of Alder
man Barrett as chairman. Only hun
dred copies were issued. The volume is
handsomely printed. 1t contains the
biographies and portraits of the city
hall commissioners, biographies and
portraits of the mayors, ex-officio COM

Life Beyond Death" Being a review
of the worlds beliefs on the subject,
a consideration of present conditions
of thought and feeling, leading to the
question as to whether it can be de-
monstrated as a fact, to which is
added an appendix containing some
hints as to personal experiences and
opinions. By Minot Judson Savage,
d. D. New York: G.. P. Putnam
Sons.
For number Of years the Rev. Mi
not ]. Savage has been actively inter-
ested in the researches of the Society
for Psychical Research, publishing
from time to- time his opinions of and
experiences with psychical phenomena
We believe that by this course he has
alienated some of his friends, and that
among the people of the Unitarian body
his actions have been attributed to
harmless eccentricities or to more or
less eXplicable alterations from the
path of common sense, not to be judged
harshly. The volume in question is
Mr.. Sayage's most comprehensive, pow
erful, explicit and personal statement
thus far as to his views upon the sub
ject of psychical phenomena-mes
ism, spiritualism, telepathy, table-tip
ping, ana all that line of phenomena.
1t is dedicated very beautifully to Mr.
Savage's son Philip Henry, who died
this year at the age of 81, and COM
prises thirteen chapters, in which are
treated the primitive ideas and ethnic
beliefs in Immortality, the Old Testa-
ment and Immortality, st. Paul's doc
trine of death and the. other life, the
other world and the middle ages, Prot
estant belief concerning death and the
life beyond, the agnostic reaction, the
spiritualistic reaction, the worlds con-
dition and needs as to belief in immor-
tality, the Society for Psychical Re
search and the immortal life, probabjli-
ties which fall short of demonstration,
and possible conditions of another life
The suggestive and exhaustive quality
of the work can be guessed from the
foregoing list of contents. The book
concludes with some hints as to per-
sonal experiences and opinions, in
which he narrates some interesting ex-
periences of his own. Were Mr.. Saw
ages authority less than it is, these
matters and his reputation as an origi-
nal and powerful speaker much smaller,
such book must be widely read and
thought on. AS an earnest effort to-
ward the solution of one of life's most
battling puzzles, it cannot but prove
helpful to many.

Robert W. Chambers has just COM
pleted a new romance entitled THE
Cambria Mask 1t will be published
early in 1900 on both sides of the At
lantic. and is said to show the marked
ability of this versatile writer in an
entirely new field.
The story has to do with the noe
turnal appearance of band of white
caps in an attempt to terrorize the
hero of the story. Many American
critics unite in thinking that the best
work done by Mr.. Chambers has been
in his stories of the Maine woods,
where he has shown an intimate
knowledge of nature, and has written
most delightfully."- regarding the woods
and streams, and the living creatures
in and about them.
Parts of 1.-THE Cambria Mask" are
said to be nearer his work in this field
than anything he has written of late.

THE IDEAL IN APT.

THE IDEAL IN ART.
The whole of art lies in two words
concentration and manifestation. Ibid.
When we consider art in its highest
character, we might wish that masters
only had to do with it, that amateurs
should be trained by the severest study,
that they might feel themselves happy
in reverentially approaching it's pre-
cincts, for work should be an effusion
of genius, the artist should evoke its sub
stance from his inmost being, treat his
with sovereign command, and
make use of external influence only to
accomplish his powers. Goethe.
