with the light, so in literature we find
the same contrast. Someone has said
that "the literature of the world 10 so
far as it has made a lasting IMPRESSION
is simply the expression OF mans long
ing to attain truth" Literature can on
ly appeal to or interest man as it inter
prets truly his life and feelings.
Dickens excels in ability to interpret
and express those contrasts which lie al
most unheeded in common life. Pathos
is followed by humor, love by hatred,
despair by hope. In David Copperfield
he leads US from the death of his little
wife to the jostle and worry OF London
life. He appeals to our sense of pathos
and sublimity only to turn again to US
with smiles and laughter.
The same contrast prevails in poetry
as in Millions L'Allegro and IlPense-
roso it is 80 great yet 80 true that the
two poems have a unity which makes
them one. The unity born of contrast"
is the unity of nature, history and liter
ature.
Contrast the following quotations, the
first from LAllegro, then from II Pense-
roso:
Haste thee nymph and bring with thee
Jest and joyful iollity,
lmps and cranks and wantou wiles,
Mods and becks and wreathed smiles,
! Sport that Nrinkled care derides,
And laughter holding both his sides,
Come and trip it as We go
On the light fantastic toe"
Then
"Come, pensive nun, devout and pure,
! Sober, steadfast aud demure,
All in robe of darkest grain
Flowing with majestic train,
Com; but keep thy wanted state
With even step and muslng gait,
Thy rapted soul sitting ia thy eyes,"
We may contrast humor and pathos
OF Shakespeare COMEDY OF Errors
or "As You Like 1t" with the tragedy
of Hamlet and Macbeth" He holds
the mirror up to nature and his plays as
described by Mrs. Browning Fill us with
tears and laughter for all time" Tenny-
sons Crossing the Bar" is quite made
up OF antithesis, and line by line he
blends sorrow and Joy with darkness
and faith.
In Pope's Essay ION Man" we are
brought to the realization that
Cali nature is but art unknown to thee:
All chance, direction which thou canst
not see;
All discord, harmony not understood;
All partial evil, universal good
And spite of pride in erriug reason g
spite
One truth is clear, whatever is is right,
And all our knowledge is ourselves to
know.
That reason, passion, answer one great
aim.
That true self love and social are the
same,
And that virtue, only, makes our bliss
below"

Chance to Write for the Paper

Who has not at times had ideas which
he or she would like to see in some
newspaper? Many a good thought has
sumbered in the brain of the thinker
because of the difficulties ard rebntfs
which are always supposed to lie in the
path to the editorial sanctum. The
Chicago Record Herald however, well
comes such ideas and has page in the
Sunday issue called 1.-The Ba tile Ground
of Modern Thought" which is devoted
exclusively to letters from its readers
The best articles received each week are
carefully edited and placed over the
writer's names The amount of really
valuable matter that finds its way into
this department is remarkable and is
proof that the ability to write we'll and

plume in his headgear, and giving IL
the name of "Macaroni." For those

Philosophy from Kansas.

Nobody knows what produces earth
quakes, although it is often claimed
that they do. The earth .quakes
somewhere every day. Nobody knows
when the earth came or when il will
go, where 1t came from, how it came
or how it happened to be here The
fact is, when you get down to the
truth, nobody knows anything about
anything-past, present or to come
and about the only way to get along
in this know-nothing world is not to
try TO know very much.-Eldorado
