A writer to the New York Mirror OF
1S4O in the course of a rhapsody on the
railway, says: "Duellng and changing
horses and separate rooms are at an
end, our light literature must now be-
come woven with steam, our Incidents
must arise from blowups and love be
made over broken legs, while here the
novelist will have to record the falling
in of tunnel, the only chance left for
touch of the sublime" Trains then
proceeded under wonderfully good con-
dition occasionally at the awe inspiring
speed of thirty-five miles an hour as a
maximum.

Is Life Worth LfyinGR

Those people who say that life Is
not worth living find it so because
they do not go to work to make it
worth living. Why does sadness over
power them? Is 1t so much harder for
them than for others to see sin and
suffering? What right have they to
add their weight to the worlds bur-
dens? Is it a sign of intellect to be
cowardly? And do these people not
dream that the spiritual power which
makes such an intellectual condition
impossible is vastly superior to any
power that the intellect alone can at
tain-Elizabeth Peabody.
