The Origin Of Fear.

The average man would sooner lace
Il two-hundred- pound human antago-
MIST than fifty pound dog which he
could choke to death in three minutes.
We have seen a charging ram scatter
half a dozen men, any one OF whom
could have mastered the brute in Il
moment. and not one Of whom was, in
ordinary matters. coward. There
are instances on record of men who
with their bare hands have held and
bafflcd an ugly bull; but it was only
the pressure of grim necessity that
taught them their powers. Put Il
man against an animal. and the man
does not look around fo- weapons or
support. whether he needs them
or not. There was time when he
did.
For man, to-day the most lOrdly of
animals. was once well nigh the mos
humble of them all He has come up
out of "A state in which fear was the
normal condition of existence: fear
of violence. of the dark that gave op-
portunity for violence; fear of falling.
of animals, of being alone. And into
the plastic grey cells of our bra ains
are stamped these ancient terrors

of man. The baby shows this record
most clearly. In him the prints Of
heredity are not yet Overlaid by the
tracks of use and custom; and there
fore in him we may most easily read
our past history. He is our ancestor
as truly rs he is our rcincarnatiOn;
and his every shrinking gesture and
frightened cry are chronicles of the
Younger World, tales of the Age OF
Fear. They tell of the days when
man was not the master of the earth,
nor even a highly considered citizen
of the same; but a runaway subject OF
the meat-eating mOnarcheS whose
sccpter was tooth and claw; a humble
plebcian in the presence of the horned
and hOOfed aristOcrats of woods and
fields. They speak of the nights
when our hairy sires crouched in the
forks of trees and whimpered softly
at the dark; whimpered because the
dark held SO many enemies; whim-
pered softly lest those enemies should
hear.

THE OLD HOME.


In the quiet shadows Of the twilight,
| stand by the garden door.
And gaze on the old, old homestead,
50 cherished ami loved OF vore.
But the ivy now is twning
tnlrained Ger window and wall;
And no more the voice Of the children
Is echoing throughout the hall.
Through years Of pain and sorrow.
Since first had to part,
The thought Of the dear old homestead
Has fingered about my heart:
The porch embowered with roses,
The gables dropping caves,
And the song Of the birds at twilight
Amid the orchard leaves.
And the forms OF those who loved me
In the happy childhood years
Appear at the duskv windows.
Through visions dimmed with tears.
| hear the voices calling
From the shadoWv far away.
And ! stretch my arms toward them
In the gloom OF the twilight grey.
But only the night-winds answer.
AS cry through the dismal AIR.
And only the bat comes swoopIng
From the darkness of its lar,
But still the voice "i my childhood
Is calling from far away.
And the faces Of those who loved me
smile through the shadows grey.
