And she was passing fair;
She did not say him nay,
And no one else was there.
He said some words 10 her
That made her sigh, and they
Had never met before
She did not draw away!
He looked into her eyes,
Her bushes went and came;

And did not know her name.

ARE ANIMALS sUPERsrTrroUs.


Do animals see ghosts? OF course
there are no ghosts, but that makes no
difference. Science and philosophy
agree that il is not at all improbable
that nothing really exists and that moth
ing is, except perturbation of brain
cells. Anything that we may think we
see may not, after all, have any exist
ence-at any rate, it does not exist rs
we see it. Do animals know about
ghosts and do they think they see
them? In his latest book Sir John
Lubbock undertakes to tell how the
world appears to animals, but'he doesn't
enter into the possibilities of supersti-
tions among dogs and horses, for in
stance. Certainly the world does not
appear the same to the ant that it does
to man; and not quite the same to the
dog and horse, since the dog and horse
do not laugh. If We take the conclu-
sion of science respecting the develop
ment of intelligence, we ought to be-
heve that the more intelligent of the
lower animals have superstitions that
correspond in some measure to those of
the least intelligent of human beings.
That many animals reason, draw
logical differences beyond the operation
of instinct, is pretty well settled.
When a dog or horse has exhausted
all his experience in attempting to ac-
count for certain lomena, does it
conclude that the thing is supernatural
or out of the order of explicable phe-
nomenon? Noyehsts tell us about the
amazing fear of dogs and horses ordi-
narily fearless, when placed under con-
ditions that excite the fear of supersti-
tious persons. Are there facts to
warrant this? If dogs and horses see
ghosts they must be capable Of the
simplest form Of religious emotion, that
is to say, the fear of the inexplicable
which in the savage is regarded by sci
ence as the beginning of religion. Dogs
have what in science passes for moral
sense. They are conscious of wrong
doing and practical self-restraint. OF
course it all grows out of the experience
that the doing of certain things is alb
tended with more pain than the mo-
mentary pleasure, but this, science tells
us, is the basis of the moral sense. At
all events science is bound to admit the
potentiality of superstitions in animals.

KEEP STILL.

In one of DR.. Burton's Yale lectures.
the following advice was given to the
young ministers: when trouble il
brewing, keep still. When SANDER is
getting on its legs, keep still. When
your feelings are hurt, keep still, till
you recover from your excitement at
any rate. Things look differently
through an unagitated eye. In com
motion, once, / wrote letter and sent
it, and wished | had not. In my later
years / had another commotion, and
wrote long letter; but life had rubbed
little sense into me, and l kept that
letter in my pocket against the day
when l could look it over without agita-
ton and without tears. l was glad
did. Silence is the most massive thing
conceivable. sometimes. 1t is strength
in its very grandeur 1t is like a regi-
ment ordered to stand still in the mid
fury Of battle. To plunge in were twice
as easy. The tongue has unsettled
