PASSION OF PASSIONS.

Beneath things he seeks the
law; he would know how the globe
was forged and the stars were
hung, and trace to their origins
the springs of life. And then, as
the man develops his nobler ma
ture, there arises the desire higher
yet-the passion of passions, the
hope of hopes-the desire that he.
even he, may somehow aid in max
ing life better and brighter, in de-
stroying want and sin, sorrow and
shame. He masters and curbs the
animal: ne turns his back upon the
feast and renounces the place OF
power; he leaves it to others to ac-
cumulate wealth, to crafty pleas
ant tastes, to bask themselves in
the warm sunshine of the brief
day. He works for those he never
saw and never can see; for
fame, or maybe for a scant justice,
that can only come along after the
clods have ratified upon his coffin
lid. He tolls in the advance where
it is cold, and there is little cheer
from men, and the stones are
sharp and the. brambles thick.
amid the scoffs of the present and
the sneers that stab like knives, ne
builds for the future, he cuts the
trail that progressive humanity
may hereafter broaden into high
road Into higher, grander spheres
desire mounts and beckons, and
star that rises in the east leads
him on. Lo! the pulses of the man
throb with the yearnings of the
god-he would aid in the process
of the suns!-Henry George.
