ss The LetterC of Margaret Fuller.

That one who guarded so scrupulously as did Margaret Fuller the many confi- dences reposed in her should have these personal intimate letters of hers given to the public seems singularly inappropri- ate That they were written. not to him who became her husband but to a friend she met while living in the home of Hor- ace Greedy. before her visit to Europe. only increases the infringement on her private life And yet, with both cores pondents many years dead, the letters themselves might tempt to publication. so full are they of personal revelation, go charged with sympathy and tenderness. so overhowing with delicacy eld tender ness. of fancy and feeling and with spir- itual intuition.

Stepping Stones," belongs to a class of books known as inspirin literature. It is a sort of book of prescriptions for everyday worries and troubles. No. 1t is more than that. It is the medecin itself. It serves as a deep breath of common sense. Here is a good paragraph;
 How wonderful is the power of a highly cultivated woman to change the face of society, and to inspire the new thoughts all with whom she comes in con- tact According to St. Beuve, the privl- legged circle at Coppet, after making an excursion, returned from Chamburg in two cotches. hose arriving in the first coach had a rueful experience to relate terrific thunderstorm, shocking roads, and danger and gloom to the whole party. The party in the second coach heard their story with surprise; of thunderstorm, of steeps, of mud of danrer. the knew noth- ing. No; they had forgotten earth and breathed a purer air; such 8 conversa- ton between Madame de Stael and Madame Recan.c'r enj BenJamen Con- stant and Senegal! They were all in state of delight The intoxication of the conversation made them insensible to the notice of weather or rough roads,"
 Here Is a capital story:
 A darK-Visaged unKempt man, who had evidently been on a protracted spree, but whose face retained some evidences of refinement, shuffled up to the desk of Stephen Merritt in his New York office. one bright summer morning little more than ten years ago. In his hand he carried a battered hat but so much did he tremble from the effects of long absti- hence from food, and the nerve racking consequences of strong drink, that the hat fell from his hand, as he stood waiting for the merchant to look up. A week s growth of beard gave his face a tramp like look.
 'Mr. Merritt" he began falteringly. "I have been told that you are friend of the unfortunate"
 There was something in the tone of the speakers voice that caused MT. Merritt to stop writing and turn sharply in sur prise. He looked the man over scrutiniz- ingly. Evidently he thought the man an unusual case. A pair of pathetic dark eyes looked straight appealingly into his. The tramp had once been gentleman that was plain.
 ''I am unfortunately. will you help me?''
 In his bluff way the philanthropist pre- tended to be very angry at the suggestion. While secretly resolved to help the poor fellow, he exclaimed:

thing like such fellowship took place for this very purpose. The eighteenth century is volubly defamed for its ire ligion; 1t is a sorry but true comment on the suggestion that 1t could not have been written in the first half of the nine teenth century.
 Prof. Carpenters account of the modern investigation of the Old Testament Scrip lures Is very readable, but from an or- thodOx Christion point of view 1t is very painfully defective. The predlctive ele- ment in the law and the prophets is ad- mitted only in the most attenuated sense.
 The Levitieal ritual did not signify any Divine design or purpose. as the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews taught men to believe Prof. Carpenter dismisses the sacred writer's whole argument by say ing, as ik it settled beyond any question, that
 ''The religious institutions of Israel, like those of every other nation of an- tiqulty, are to be explained by history. . The symbolism of the dwelling is founded on that of Solomon's temple, and the sumboli of the Temple rested on the artistic and religious types of Assiria and Phenicia.

A Masterpiece of Prose.

Who now reads that masterpiece of prose. Sir Thomas More's "Utopia?" Only the book worm" Yet 1t is a most de- lightful imaginative history. The story is of an ideal land of perfection; and how it makes the thought soar! But its quaint charm is in its diction. The wonderful description of that perfect country, in shape fashioned like the new moon ' where community in all things ruled su- preme. where nature. art and religion were ideal, is expressed in fawless Eng fish. Those who love quaint and beauti- ful language love to read ''Utopia."

Yes, the old press is gone. Fol
many years the old George Wash

in the office of The LEADER and
has seen continuous service up to
within the past two years. Time
only knows the many tales of hap
ninass and sOrr0W. HIGH homes and
blighted prospects it has made
public. Who knows the secret joys
or sorrows that have come to some
soul thru lines this press has faith
fully printed? How many bitter,
burning" lies about the country and
people have been nailed, and what
strenuous efforts have been made
for people whose only returns were
the vapors of the migrate! The
many eloquent words spoken con-
~tinuously in behalf of this region
of homes happyin the Yuletide, are
blazoned on the garnisbed walls of
memory, and reverberate the good
wishes not to be bought by gold.
Butthe old press has stood steadfast
immoveable, quickly responding to
the master-mind and the touch of
the vanished hand" May the old
press continue the good work thus
done in the past. The last seen of
our old friend was in a sleigh on
a far away hill top in the care OF
John Haley, who will utilize it to
issue The TINES at Coal Harbor,
and will give that region a paper
to faithfully reflect conditions.
