APPROACH OF AUTUMN.

September, first cousin to October, is
generally a charming month in this lat
itude 1t is a period for congenial
thought and preparation for the great
er glories that are to come, kind OF
curtain raiser in the play of nature. 1t
ushers in the first tints of autumn and
prepares the world for the coming
beauties of forest and dale. The sun
has not lost its warmth, flowers stand
mature upon stalk and bush; color Of
SALIVA and coleuS remain at the zenith
of their beauty, and the white hydran
gia takes on it's richer hues of ochre
and tones of dainty brown. On n
quiet, still September day nature seems
halted between seasons, as though the
one were finished, the other about TO
begin 1t is a time of hushed peace
"a holy calm that leads to heavenly
musing."

corn. In it you find the sunshine and the
shadow that chased each other over the

within your blood the starlit dawns, the
dreamy, tawny dusks of many perfect

years this liquid joy has been within the
happy slaves of oak, longing to touch
the lips of man. 1T is the only one of
it's kind, and nothing like it.
Colonel Ingersoll was a great man
in many respects good man. His
ideas, however, on God and truth were
warped and in no sense orthodox. His
skill in word-painting was almost I'M

Holland said that mature is the mas

the man of achievement among the

OUR SECOND ANNIVERSARY

The PALIsADIAN does not feel like
boasting on its second anniversary
reached with this issue. 1t has not
been easy sailing to maintain an even
keel in choppy sea, somewhat tenn
pestuous at times. But the barque is
launched upon the waters of good
faith, and unless a forestry buckles, or
our little craft bumps upon rock, or
springs a leak, she may continue to
sail upon the high seas of popular
favor. Then, too, there may be pirates
out. But anyhow, The PALIsADIAN is
glad to be alive, thank you.

GENIUS.

Perhaps no one word in the English
language is more often used, or more
certainly abused, than genius" We
speak of any one who is successful in
any line of endeavor as genius.
Napoleon was unquestionably a ge-
MUS of war. Sergeant S. Prentiss,
Henry W. Grady, Patrick Henry,
James G. Blaine, Cicero and De
mosthenes were all men Of unques-
toned genius for oratory. Ruskin de
clared beautiful tribute to Homer
when he said there was "no law by
which one can write Iliads.'
One of the best definitions of genius
is that it is application. There seems
to be no denying the fact that some
men make great conquests of brain
and hand that are impossible to the
great masses of mankind. There was
never but one Edison, one Watts, one
Fulton; vet men since their time have
even improved upon their achieve
ments, hence the question arises,
Which is the greater evidence of
genius, the man who creates an idea
or the one who Celebrates it? That
genius is ever a riddle unto itself is
undisputed, and Carlyle wrote that
genius is an immense capacity for
taking trouble"
But of all comparative definitions,
the best by far was that of Lavator,
the great Swiss physiognomist, who
said: ''Who in the same given time
can produce more than many others
has vigor who can produce more and
better has talents; who can produce
what none else can has genius" 1t
was Lavator who also said that the
proposition of genius to- the vulgar is
genius has been characterized as a
magician of thought, yet woman seems
not to have shared with man the recog'
milton of the title. One writer asserts
that the works of genius exceed the
capacity of woman, yet Balzac said
that "a woman must be genius to
create good husband A nice dis
tinction between genius and talent was
by Owen Meredith: Genius does
what it must; talent what it can"
Most men of genius stand alone, hence
when Sir Bulwer Lytton said that
genius has no brother" he uttered a
thought in opposition to Cicero, who

1t Is easy to talk about tho simple

that is the undoing of simplicity. Nov.
