Wisdom from Emerson.

While thus the world will be whole,
and refuses to be disparted, we seek
to act partially to sunder; to appro.
pirate for example to crafty the
senses we sever the pleasure of the
senses from the needs of the character.
The ingenuity Of man has been
dedicated always 10 the solution of
one problem-how to detach the SEN

sensual bright, etc, from the moral
sweet, the moral deep, the moral fair;
that is, again, TO contrive TO cut clean

The Fourth of July has long been
noted as a day of national disaster,
The day is filed with fires and ger
sonal injuries from N end of the
land to the other, and all because of
the crazy notion that the youngsters
have that they must make the day
hideous and unpleasant by shooting
off ~firecrackers, bombs, etc. The eel
ebration of the day, in IA town, as is
proposed in Saratoga, is to lay the
town open to destruction by fire, 1t
is to be sincerely hoped that Mayor
Devine and the town council will take
this matter firmly in hand, and forbid,
absolutely, the shooting of any kind
of fireworks inside the business limits
of the town. This can be done and
will be upheld by the thinking peo-
pie of the town, and the city officers
need not hesitate to act in the matter.

PHILOSOPHICAL NOTES.
Not i World of Chance.

Everywhere We see men aud women
whose aspirations are not fulfilled,
who are seeking for light and strug-
CLING for growth, who strive and fail,
who are blinded by the glare that
fills their ewes when they TRIP to solve
the problems OF life that confront
them at every turn. To each and all
who come within the circle of our
lives we owe a duty-the duty of
helpfulness. In the Theosophical
idea this is not a world of chance in
which things fortuitous come into
prominence merely by accident. The
duties we " are nothing short OF
obligations to perform some help to
whomsoever we may come into con
tact with. Every II within our cir
Gle is one TO whom WE " a special
duty. II should be our first and last
business to find out what that duty
may be so that we may fulfill our
obligation to them who are thrown
within our influence.
People in their relations to us nat
urally fall into three groups-our SUI
periors, our equals and our Interiors
We meet them daily. The man who
is above us in the moral sense de.
serves our reverence aud u obedi-
ence wherein he ranks wise enough

leave it bottomless to get a one end
without an other end.
The soul says, Eat; the body would
feast.
The soul SAYS, The man and woman
shall be one flesh and one soul; the
body would join the flesh only.
The soul says, Have dominion over
all things to the end of virtue; the
body would have power over things
to its own ends.
The soul strives amain to live and
work through all things.
1t would he the only fact
All things shall be added unto it

The particular man aims to be

and, in particulars, to ride. that he
may ride; to dress. that he may he
dressed; to eat, that he may eat and
to gov Jrn that he may be seen.
Men seek to b- great; they would
have offices, wealth, power and fame
They think that to be great is to
get only n side of nature-the sweet.
without the other side. the bitter.
Steadily is this dividing and de
taching counteracted.
Up to this day, it must be owned,
no protector has had the smallest
success.
The parte I water reunites behind
our hand.
Pleasure is taken out of pleasant
things, profit out of profitable things,
power out of strong things, the mo-
ment We seek to separate them from
the whole.
We can no more halve things and
get the sensual good, by itself, than
we can get an inside that shall have

AFTER the terrible disaster to tn

AFTER the terrible disaster to the

there will no doubt be a thorough
overhauling of excursion and other
boats. 1t seems that we can learn
only by mistakes and disasters. 1t
takes a great deal to arous a nation,
but the Iroquois holocaust and the
wholesale burning of women and
children in the General Slocum dis
aster, will certainly both prove of
great benefit to the entire world in
the way of compelling officers, ap-
pointed to look after the public safe
