ALSO AMERICAN,
The Unsympnthetic Blessing Given
u Promising Relative by Ralph
Waldo Emerson.

When young George Emerson
graduated from Harvard, he was the
first scholar in his class, and ac-
cordingly gave the grafton. DR.. Ed
ward Everett Hale tells in his
Memories of a Hundred Years" with
what an apparently unsmypathetic
blessing his cousin, Ralph Waldo
Emerson, wished the young man sue
cess in life.
The chapel, writes DR.. Hale, con-
tanned 200 or 300 of his friends and
the friends of his classmates. After
the exercises were over, DR.. Hale
crossed the chapel to speak to Ralph
Waldo Emerson, who stood alone, as
it happened, under the gallery. He
congratulated him on the success of
his kinsman.
Emerson said, eyes, I did not know
1 had so fine young cousin.
"And now" he added, eff some
thing will fall out amiss-if he should
be unpopular with his class, or if his
father should fail, or if some other
misfortune can befall him-all will
be well.''
DR.. Hale was indignant with what
he called the cynicism of his speech.
He thought it the affectation of one
who felt that he must say something
out of the way of common congratu-
lation.
"But I learned afterward," says
DR.. Hale, "what he had learned then,
that good is a good master, but bad
is better And do not doubt now
that the remark which seemed cyni
cal was most affectionate."

A WILDWOOD lDYL.

Seeking wildwood, open sky,
Blithe beneath the trees am I;
Watching squirrel chattering high,
Watching wood-dove cooling nigh
Bliss to tread the forest way
Along trails where rabbits stray,
Greeting quail in ferny spray,
Hearing veery's tender lay;
JOY to watch the brooding bird,
CHIPPING nesting family heard.
Downy feather lightly stirred
Soothing note from mother bird.
Child of nature, joyous, free,
Seeking blossom with the bee,
Tracing brook through flowery lea,
Fringed by reed and willow tree;
Seeking violet hidden low
Where do moss and crosses grow
Beside the riyulet's ripping flow
That through beechen grove doth go;
Plucking trillium, wet with dew,
Frail hepatica, starry blue,
Finding elf's whipporwill shoe,
Hid among the meadow-rue.
Loving twilight, sunset flush
Seeking haunt of hermit thrush
Trilling sweet at evening hush,
Sheltered by the s%"'ay;r:He IRISH;
In the shadowy green lights dim,
Watching fire-f1ies winging glim,
Moths f1uttering round the budding limb
By weird light from the new-moons rim
Dreaming beneath dusky sky,
On soft boughs Of fir to lie
Soothed by pine-trees' grooming sigh
Lulled by night winds passing by
All! It's Natures child am I.
