easily distinguished from honest and

Socrates.

The execution Of Socrates is and will
probably always remain one Of tlie
most astounding enigmas Of history.
About the greatness and goodness Of
the man there Is no room for dispute;
that he really corrupted or attempted
to corrupt the Athenian youth. as was
charged against him by the prescott
ton. no one for moment believes. and
that he in no way deserved the death
that came to him is universally con
ceded. And yet the foremost people
on earth IN intellectual accomplish
ments decreed that he should die. It
might have been politics, 1t might have
been personal spite or jealousy it
might have been WEAKNESS at his end
less questioning or it might have been
the conviction that by his philosophy
he was really destroying the influence
of religion upon the minds Of the
young that lay ut the bottom of his
trial and eXecution.-New York Amer
