Wisdom From Emerson.

The history of persecution is a his.
tory of endeavors to cheat nature, to
make water run up hill, to twist a
rope of sand.
1t makes no difference whether the
actors be many or one, "A tyrant or a
mob.
A mob is a society of bodies volhn-
tarily bereaving themselves of rea-
son and traversing its work.
The mob is man voluntarily de
scending to the nature of the beast.
Its fit hour of activity is night.
Its actors are insane like its whole
constitution.
1t p~ersecutes a principle ii would
whip a right; it would tar and feath.
er justice, by intlicting fire and out
rage upon the houses and persons Of
those who have these.
1t resembles the prank of boys who
run with fire engines to put out the
ruddy aurora streaming to the stars.
The inviolate spirit turns their
spite against the wrong doors.
The martyr cannot be dishonored.
Every lash inflicted is IA tongue of
fame every prison a more illustrious
abode every burned book or house
enlightens the world; every suppress
ed or expunged word reverberates
through the earth from side to side.
The minds of men are at last
aroused; reason looks out aud justi-
iies her own, and malice finds
all her work in vain.
1t is the whipper who is whipped,
and the tyrant who is uudone.
No man eau learn what he has not
preparation for learning, howe 5er
near to his eyes is the object.
A chemist may tell his most prec.
ious secret to a carpenter, and he
shall never be the wiser-the secrets
he would not utter to a chemist for
an estate.

mature ideas.

1.-THE Government of Wyoming

This Office is in receipt of a copy of
a book from the pen of DR.. Grace
Raymond Hebard, the Secretary and
Librarian of the Wyoming Univer-
sity, with the above title.
1t treats of the history, constitution
and administration of the affairs Of
this state, the book being divided in
to three heads named. After tracing
the history of the territory forming
the state of Wyoming, it enters into
details relative to the Constitution,
its powers the Legislative, Executive,
Judicial and other departments. One
of the most important chapters is
that relating to the state land laws
and the rights of labor corporations,
militia and public buildings.
1t is a valuable production and
something unique in its line, nothing
of the kind having been put in print
before touching this state. 1t is not
only valuable as a history of the or
igin and growth of the state, but it
will, in time, come to be looked upon
as a most reliable and convenient text
book on the matters of which it treats.
1t should be in the hands of every
teacher in the state, as well as every
editor, officer, politician and lawyer.
There is hardly any limit to the prac-
teal value OF the book to the people
generally of this state, and the writer
does not hesitate to endorse and rec.
ommend it. 1t is from the press of
The Whitaker & Ray Co., School sup,
plies, San Francisco, and is sold for
S1.00.
