The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1909-08-05
A PARABLE OF THE HOME.

There was once a man who called
himself a philosopher and prided
himself on his keen analysis Of all
things that came under his ken. And
he said to himself: 81 would know
what Love is"
So he Jared forth and came to the
Angel of Vision and questioned him:
Great Spirit, what is Lover"
And the Angel said: Come with
me and see for myself"
So the Angel took the philosopher
out into the world and made him see
periods of time as in moment, that
he might know the true course of
affairs.
And the man saw, and behold! a
nest wherein tiny birdlings nestled,
and the mother bird brooded over
them and sheltered them with her
wings and brought them food, and
she left and peeped for joy when she
returned, and the philosopher said:
'Ah, so this is Love!"
But even as he looked, the little
birds gathered strength and left the
nest and came no more to it, nor did
the mother bird follow them or
grieve over their flight.
And the philosopher said: II must
seek farther"
And again he saw, and 10! little
child came running to his father and
threw his arms about his neck and
kissed him and cried, "I love you,
daddy"
And the man saw how the fathers
heart was glad as he answered the
caress, and he said: Here indeed is
Love-"
But as he looked the child's face
fell, and a frown was on his brow
and a pout on his lips; the sweet
voice became harsh, and the child
was disobedient. The fathers voice
grew stern-and angry, too; and the
philosopher shook his head and muir
INJURED: "Not yet"
Once more he looked abroad and
saw young girl yielding herself to
the passionate embrace of a thouht-
less youth and her lips to his eager
kisses. Her face was alight with joy
as he whispered: 81 love you, darl-
Ing"
And the mans pulse quickened
and his blood ran more warm as he
watched, and he said: 81 have dis
covered Love unawares." But months
passed by as he gazed, and the eager
ness died out of the lovemaking. A
GOODNESS arose between them; the
youth grew careless and the maiden
sprang no longer to meet his caress
as before, and the philosopher sigh
ed: "The secret is not here
Then the Angel touched his arm and
pointed to couple who walked
quietly along the pathway of life.
There were rough places in the way,
and the worst were on her side. Of
ten she might have chosen a smooth
er path had she walked alone, but
she kept by the side of the man.
There were lines of care on her face,
the sorrows Of motherhood had left
their mark upon her, the philosopher

him the man might have lightened,
but still she walked with the man.
And the Angel said: 60 nearer
and observe these two"
And the philosopher drew near.
And behold! the figure of the man
grew strangely like unto his own,
and faded until it vanished and he
stood alone with the woman. And
he was troubled and turned to the
Angel to know what this might mean.
And the Angel pointed to the wo-
man and said: ASK her thy ques-
ton"
So the philosopher spake to her:
80 woman, canst thou tell me what
is Lover"
And the woman turned and looked
upon him, and 10! 1t was his wife.
And he looked into her eyes and
saw, and his own eyes were blinded
with the radiance Of it, and voice
sounded within his soul:
