before now-Achi those troubles says the
philosophic-now lady and gentleman. of the
House of Ptah of Babylonia-'such sill
ness-those troubles and frets; 1t was not
the while-worth that we should ever have
sorrowed, because the scheme of time and
creation is suchly big: had grasped but
its bigness, and the littleness of our span,
should we have felt griefs? Nay. nay-nit,'
like the street youths say-would say the
lady and gentleman now so passionless as
to have philosophers become. And you. IL

sublime tragicness? Yet see now, these
funny little animals on the surface of the
spinning ball. How frantic, as If all things
were about to eventuate, remembering not
that nothing ends. So? Observe the marks
of their Stiffness, their unworthiness. You
have reduced the ball to so big as a melon,
yes? Watch the insects run about in the
craziness, laughing, crying, loving their
loves. hating their hates, fearing, fretting-
killing one the other in such funny little
clothes made for such funny little purpose
precisely-falling sick over the money-los-
