By far the noblest men and women are those
who endeavor to do something of material benefit to
the world in general as we'll performing specific
acts of individual kindness.
Neither the human family-nor any part or por-
ton of t-can crawl into shell like acam and hold
aloof from the balance of the world without pain
discomfort.
Horatio Seymour the famous Governor of New
York, just previous to his death-his life having
been crowded full of honors including Presiden-
tial nomlnation-sald: Il look back upon my busy
life dreamingsof the good deeds [ have done-the
have saved from legal death--the pardons l
issued to worthy unfortunates. Those were the
noblest and most satisfactory deeds ever perform
ed in my long and active life
Pardons and combinations may be granted by
laymen Well by regularly constituted legal
authorities. No one is free from error. All are
prone to make mistakeseither Of the head of the
heart
No can lay the fattering JUNCTION to his soul
that he has done his full duty toward himself when
he attempts wantonly to in lure his fellowman.
Preaching and practicing what breaches are two
entirely different propositions. Every good deed
done looms up along the highway like signal tower
at Bitterness engendered by rivalry jealousy
ought not to find anchorage in the heart of any
or woman.

BEWARE of the person who doth protest too
much Protestations of fealty are not necessary
factions speak louder than words The man or
woman who goes through life doing things-be they
ever so humble-is of far more service to humankind
than those who protest and profess much and do
so little
In this shut-out and shut-in community where
all ought to be friendly to another in their mis-
fortune there is tendency on the part of some to
make all the mischief they can though they do
not profit by it.
Old men and women live their lives over again
in their declining days and remember with pride

memories the disagreeable and uncharitabe episodes

a hen, or what on the other hand

THE WAY OF DREAMS.

The way of dreams-the bluebird sang
Is never hard to ind
SO soon as you have really left
The grown up world behind;
So soon as you have come to see
That what the others call
Realities, for such as you,
Are never real at all;
So soon as you have ceased to care
What others say or do,
And understand that they are they
And you-thank od!-are you,
Then is your foot upon the path,
Your journey we'll begun,
And safe the road for you to tread,
Moonlight or morning sun
Pence of this world you shall not take,
Yea! no provision heed;
A wild rose gathered in the wood
Will buy you all you need.
Hungry, the birds shall bring you food
The bees their honey bring;
And thirsty, you the crystal drink
Of an immortal spring.
For sleep, behold how deep and soft
With moss the earth is spread,
And all the trees of all the world
Shall curtain round your bed.
Enchanted journey! that begins
Nowhere, and nowhere ends.
Seeking an ever-changing goal,
Nowhither winds and wends;
For destination yonder flower,
For business yonder bird;
Aught better worth the travelling to
I never saw or heard.
o long dream travel of the soul!
First the green earth to tread
And still yon other starry track
To travel when you're dead.

the hen came out of the egg would

In all the engravings of hens which

sented as of large dimensions, di-
mansions entirely incompatible
with the idea of imprisonm ent

THE BIBLE AND TENNYSON.
In the course of sermon, which
is aimed at DR.. Eliot's idea of twen-
tieth century: religion, New York
divine emphasizes the religion Of
Tennyson and asks whether we
might not shave more Tennysons
it we had more devout students of
the Bible, as Tennyson was" This
is foolish question. 1t would be
as logical to assume that to i'm
prove the grade of sausage all that
is necessary is to read up on dogs,
though the connection in the lat
ter case has at least humorous
possibility. There is no connec-
ton between writing poetry and
reading the Bible, except that the
Bible is necessity in every mans
education. Consider for a minute
the poetry, real poetry of course,
of the Psalms. It consists of an
tithesis, that is, every idea used in
the first half of the verse is bal
anced by similar idea in the last
half, varied by an occasional ex-
ception, and by an occasional in
stance in which one entire verse
answers another. Let them be
confounded and put to shame that
seek after my soul: let them be
turned back and brought to con-
fusion that devise my hurt In
poetry, as it is at present conceiv-
ed, the repetition of an idea is IA
tai, except where the purpose is
clearly shown to be metrical, as In
the case of refrain. Even prose-
Macaulay has proved that the an
tithesis can be overdone. That
Tennyson's thought was dependent
on his religion is more nearly true;.
in fact it is the real reason why
Tennyson Influenced SO little the
thought of his age. Respect for
authority is an excellent quality
in common humanity, but a great
poet needs more Of the Investigate
or's spirit. He should be akin
with Edison, with Columbus, with
Bacon. Thus, since Tennyson's
ultimate fame must rest on the way
he said things rather than on the
things he said, and since, even
granted, that diligent study Of the
Bible made him what he was, it
does not follow that John Smith
by similar methods will achieve
similar fame, it seems clear that
the divine's oratorical question.
should be answered with an en-
phatic negative. :
