An interesting criticism Of Miss Lii

comes from lie Courier de Ia Presse OF
Paris.

French social system as a whole and

The Courier. however. makes no de-

DEFEAT.

Defeat should never mean despair
Fate leads us here and leads US there.
Through checkered paths, through
shade and sun
Our earthly pilgrimages run.
In climbing TO the mountains crown
Full Oft the road seems winding down.
In search OF goals We find a wall;
But Gods large wisdom rules us all.
Fates cruelest hindrance and delay
Is but TO guide a better way
Who strives his nobest tow'rd an end
And fails, may call defeat his friend,
And know behind his loss must be
Some hidden good he cannot see.

NOTES.

A recent poem by zitella Cooke in the
New England Magazine, "The Man
With the Plough" has attracted wide
attention not only on account Of its
high literary quality. but for its optim-
isic view OF the mission Of labor. There
Is a wide gulf between Mis- Cookies
Man with the Plough" and Mr.. Mark
hams Man With a Hoe The first
walks with labor as his friend and
finds in his toll
The larger dowry Of content
Denied 10 souls Of sordid men,
The other is
"A thing that grieyes not and that
never hopes,
stOlid and stunned, a brother to the
OK"
Which OF the two takes the truer and
more logical view Of the subject 1t will
take reams of controversy 70 decide.
