The Nationai Rlpsaw:
Within the last few days, a circular
letter has been sent out to the
Republican Editors, Of the State Of
Missouri, signed by P. ". Hampton.
Editor Of the Kingston Mercury"
who is working on a salary as
Manager Of Mr.. Kerens' Senatorial
Machine, " and VIII has rooms on the
top floor OF the Planters Hotel at Sc.
Louis. 10 this circular letter, which
is being sent out by Mr.. Hampton,
and OF course inspired by the Hon.
Richard c. Rerens, he calls the atten-
sion Of the Republican Editors OF the
State Of Missouri to the fact that he
is sending his subscription for their
Journal.
"Our Dick" has lived a long time
without this rural information, and
it is a little strange that he would SO
suddenly take the "crampsn for the
lack Of it, but this proposition to the
country Editors is 50 palpable that a
man with only n eye, and it darn
bad, could see the point, but the
"funnY" paragraph Of this circular
letter is what would 'tickle" a mule.
1t reads like this;

States senate as you can con-
scientiously give, or 10 lieu thereof,
use the enclosed editorial herewith,

Frances Trails History Of Italian
Literature.

Literature.
Even in an age of many books 1t
teouires profound research, culture,
and q infinite capacity for taking
pains, OF genius, to produce a book
khlch is a permanent addition to
American literature. In Miss Trails
History of italian Literature such 3
book has been given to the readiug
public. Its worth Is attested BY the
Endorsement Of scholars; the provost
Of Peabody Library OF Baltimore pre-
dots for it = circulation OF q hundred
thousand copies. Charles Eliot Nor
ton, of Harvard, says that the general
reader will obtain from this book such
aview Of the subject as he cannot find
Elsewhere in similar compass. Warm
congratulations from Rome and other
parts of Europe have been sent to the
author.
The arrangement Of the table Of
contents is the best that the writer
recalls of seeing, and Is especially
adapted to the use of schools and
literary societies. At = glance one can
fad the name, date, and subject Of
any italian writer Of note. To the
most important works a sufficiently
attended analysis Ia given to furnish
actual insight, a sense OF acquaintance
With both the author and the work,
shich may often enable the reader,
Without loss of any essential, to accom-
plIsh in hours the task OF weeks.
The introduction states that ''schol.
ara languages decided that culture was
spelled with the art and history Of
Italy. But it Is in her writers that
Italy still boasts her unbroken descent
from Greece and Rome" The history
q dedicated ''to the few who still love
iteratnre"; its depth and thorough.
ess commend 1t to scholars who know
literature, VIII lie its admirable clearness
Aud simplicity adapt it to all who love
literature.
1t is impossible even to touch upon
most Of the subiect.matter of the work.
Therefore this review will be limited to
the consideration OF the one great
autbor, Dante.
Dante Is thus described: "Of al
great men Dante is, perhaps, the mos
lovable. One to whom nothing human
Is a matter of indifference, his sins art
such as are possible only to th'
highest natures, his life itself wal
pure and blameless, his very faults
reveal his virtues, his sorrows voucf
for his sincerity, and in his devou.
submission to his cruel fate he has ex
plated every charge that men coulC
bring against him, Pre- .eminently thu
poet of exalted thought and feeling, il
%jolrneying with him we are compelled
30 realize the dignity of our own being
and through all the gloom of the bel
into which he plunges us we see th,
scintillations of that divine sparI
which makes nan truly great"
The poem contains an ''allegor,
which is to run through" it like
thread of gold in the woof of a splendi,
piece of tapestry" In the middle O
bic life the poet finds himself lost in
dark and terrible forest, thst is, ia tn
moral and political disorders OF Italy
"a. D. 1900. He attempts to ascen.
mountain, gilded at its summit b
the rising sun, that is, to find til
principles Of moral aud political order
n which shine the rays of rectitud
md justice. Dante, or nan wit

The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1904-12-17

this undertaking, does not knowledge,
or wisdom, in the person Of Virgi
come to bis rescue? In the Second
Cin,o we find that Virgil, or the
Knowledge of human things, cannot
guide our hero to the end Of his
journey Once, possibly twice, IN
early youth, be had seen Beatrice
Portinari, and she had ever remained
his ideal. Now 1t Is Beatrice who is
to symbolic the knowledge Of divine
things, without which man cannot
understand bis own being or destiny
Dante's political questionings are met
by moral and religious He
is only a representative Of the human
race. The problems Of his " being
aud those of human destiny all turn
upon the fact that man has tue choice
Of good or evil. The pains Of punish
ment, the griefs Of expiration, the re-
wards Of virtue are TRANSPORTED into
the divine comedy
The keynote of ~intensest prolonged
agony strikes with iron clangor on the
mental ear in s'the terrifying inscrIp-
ton ou the portal" OF the Inferno.
"Tbro' me you enter the city of woe,
Within my pale eternal grief to prove,
Thro' me among the last you are to go,
Justice my lofty Maker erst did move.
And power divine my tashionOr became.
Supremest wisdom and primeval Love,
All things created found me still the
same
l was before, eternally I lost;
Who enters here, hopeless himself
must name"
We find the touch OF a nobility
superior to the torments Of hell in the
line descriptive of FNrinati degli
UOertl "who, single handed aud with
Roman frmness, had withstOod the
proposition to destroy Florence"
"Dsnte says, 'he raised his head as
though he held all hell in grand
contempt Again, Danteis own
words convey 'ths very climax Of all
that Dante feels and isl:
81 wish that l might make it clear to
you
1 stand prepared for any fate
While l have no rebuke from con.
science"
In every age and nation, the deepest
abyss of torment has never been with.
out some CLINT of light. Compare
Daute's lines with those OF Omar
Khayyam:
II sent my soul through the invisible,
Some letters Of that aftel life TO spell.
And by.and-by my soul returned to me
And answered, Il myself am HEAVIER
and He'll"
In the P~urgatorio, ''the stern NOR
alist gives place to the mild and gentl,
poet on the Mount of Expiration. ;
"He had not been guilty of the crimes
of the Inferno, but he has committed
the sins of the Purgstorio, and frou
these he goes she goes seeking liberty,
the true liberty, that is from within.
The mountain is surrounded on al
sides with water, ard the boat whicl
was to take them across is first seen d
"a light coming so quickly over tn.
sea
That no flying thing could equal 1t
course"
"When seen again, brighter and large
still twas grown,
As yet my Master made not any sign
While the first whiteness to be wing
appeared,
, But when he knew the pilot of th
bark,
! He cried, Down, down upon thy knee
