Is ripe for liberty, by respect and vol.
untary obedience. SO long as he has
not that inward law. strong and SOW
ereign, he is incapable of breathing
the air Of liberty. This air will intoxi.
cate him. madden him and kill him
morally. A man who guides his life
by that inner law cannot longer live
under that of external authority
more than grown bird could live
closed In the eggshell again; but the
man who has not yet gained the moral
point where he governs himself can
not live under the regime of liberty
any more than could the embryo bird
without the protection of his she'll.
These things are terribly simple, and
the series of their proofs, old and new,
never cease to grow under our eyes.
And, yet, we are always unable to
understand even the elements of so
important a law. In our democracy,
how many are there, great and small,
who have understood, who know, from
having verified 1t. lived and some
times suffered 1t, this truth without
which people Is incapable of govern
ing itself? Liberty is respect. Liber-
ty is obedience to the inward law, and
this law Is not the good pleasure of
the powerful. nor the caprice of mobs,
but the higher impersonal rule, be-
fore which those who command bow
the head first of all. Shall we say,
then, that liberty must be suppressed?
No, but we must make ourselves capa-
BILE and worthy, otherwise public life
becomes impossible, and a nation pro-
ceeds through license and lack of dis
cipline to the inextricable compiled
lions of demagoguery.

PREFACE.

Inc luNdllQ, undermined Dy FEVER and
devoured by thirst, dreams during his
sleep of cool brook where he bathes,
or of clear fountain where he drinks
In great mouthfuls. So, in the COM
plioated agitation of modern existence,
our wearied souls dream of simplicity.
Is that which we call by that beau
tiful name blessing disappeared for
ever? do not think SO. If simplicity
had belonged to some exceptional cir
cumstances, known only in rare
epochs, we might renounce it's realza-
ton for the present. We cannot lead
civilization back to it's origin any
more than we can lead back the wide
troubled rivers to the tranquil valley
where the alder branches droop to-
gether over their source.
But simplicity does not depend upon
any certain economic or social condi-
tons. 1t is more of a spirit which can
animate and modify lives of very diff
ferent kinds. Far from being obliged
to pursue it with impotent regrets we
may, | affirm it, make of it the object
of our resolutions and the aim of our
practical energy.
To aspire to the simple life is to
rightly aspire to the fulfilment of the
highest human destiny. All the move
ments of humanity toward more jus
tice and more light have been at the
same time movements toward a more
simple life. And the antique simpli-
city in arts, manners and ideas hold
for us their incompatible value only
because it has been able to give a
powerful relief to some essential sen
timents, to some fixed truths. We
must love that simplicity and guard
it piously. But he will have gone but
the hundredth part of his road who
holds to exterior forms. and who does
not seek to realize the spirit. In fact,
1t is impossible for us to be simple in
the same ways as were our forbears,
and we can only remain so, or return
to simplicity in the same spirit. We
are walking in other paths, but the
aim Of humanity is fundamentally the
same. 1t is always the polar star
which directs the mariner, no matter
whether he is embarked on a sailing
/ ship or a steamer
To advance towards this aim with
all the means Of which we can dis
| pose Is the most important thing, to-
day as ever And it is because we
have often been drawn aside that we
have confused and complicated our
liveA
If could succeed in causing othe
to accept with me that interior knowl
edge of simplicity, | shall not have
made a vain effort. Some readers
will think that such an idea should
be incorporated in manners and edu
cation. They will begin by cultivatng
1t in themselves, and will make the
sacrifice of few of those habits which
hinder us from being men.
Too many encumbering utilities
separate us from our ideal of truth
Justice and kindness which should
warm and revive our hearts. All that
brushwood, under the pretext of fur
nishing us shelter, us and our happi
ness, has ended by yelling our sunlight
When shall We have the courage tt
oppose the deceptive temptations o.
life as complicated as unfruitfu
with the answer of the sage:
Get out of my sunlight"

WAR CL0UDSLOWER.
Said That Russia Has Refused
Japan's Proposal.

London, Jan. 2.-The far east
ern outlook is gloomy. No fur
ther news has developed but the
fact that not a single telegram
from Japan has been received by
any London newspaper since
Thursday night in itself creates
alarm. The telegraph company
is not aware of any delay in the
transit of messages, and it there
fore is supposed that the Jepa-
nese government is stopping dis
patches.
The feeling of apprehension
was reflected at Lloyds yesterday,
underwriters demanding addi-
tiOnal premium to cover a war
risk on all vessels, no matter Of
what nationality, proceeding east
Of Singapore.
The London morning papers
print alarmist statements. The
Daily telegraph in loaded type
says: Even in diplomatic cir
cles heretofore sanguine to peace
there is a recognition that rup
ture is all but inevitable. Meth
er Japan nor Russia will abate
anything Of their claims, and
there is no disposition on either
side to invite the meditation of
friendly powers. 1t is believed
shat Japanowill take decisive
steps in the next few days unless
conciliatory message is dis
patched from st. Petersburg, a
contingency which those better
able to form judgment do not an
ticIpate."
The Daily Mail deals similarly
with the situation and says that
it understands that Russia has
reached decision which, when
communicated to Japan, must
precipitate hostllities.
The sailing Of the Nippon mail
boat lnaba Maru, which was fix
ed for yesterday from England,
has been postponed.
The Daily Mails Malta cores
pondent reports that five Russian
torpedo boat destroyers, which
are undergoing repairs there,
have suddenly been ordered to
sea in an unfinished condition.

Near Jacksonboro. in the lower
section of the county at Jackson
borO ferry, Jno. Smalls, colored
boy about IS years old, was
drowned yesterday. 1t seems
that the boy was hauling lumber
in a wagon drawn by an OK.
When they approached the river,
the OK being hot and thirsty, in e
stead Of going on the flat, plunged
headlong into the river, some 20
or 80 feet deep, with the boy, -,
lumber and wagon. There was
no one in sight except the ferry
man, who was some distance
away. The boy and OK were both
drowned before assistance could
be rendered them.

Home Comforts.

While the farmer should devote
all necessary attention to the ar
rangements about the barns and
other buildings for his own par
tlcular benefit, he should not for

accomplish the same purpose in

ing the home bright, cheerful
and happy.
Here is where the lives Of the
wives, mothers and daughters are
so largely passed, and anything
that can be done for convenience
and comfort IN the work q be
performed should receive special
attoution. This is particularly
the case now when help is so diff
cult to be procured, both in the

In most cases something that can
