The Word ..SIni.tcru

threat Of dreams-the threat that Is
something worse than the clear menace
Of trouble in waking hours. Man want

the mere name Of the left hand. This
would serve rs well as another, seeing
that all words which we have filled
with mental emotions had grossly
material beginning, as bitter and
sweet Emerson says that all Ian

is true-human language has grown

Gloucester shippers says that once he
started on a codfshing trip on a Fri

the voyage was sufficiently eventful to
make 1t memorable. While out In a

credulous to having sailed on Friday.

DE Quincey's rcverie on the ncbula in
Orion carries n sense OF the yastness

builds for us the light and life Of
buried Hellas. Swinburne's eulogy of
Rossetti astounds us with the spleudor
and speed OF his words lie Gallienne's
prose fancy. The Twelve Wells" stirs
our hearts with the precious disquiet OF
old sorrows. Victor Hugo's grafton In
The Man Who Laughs" awakens in
us the enrolling passion OF humanity.
