The Benefits of Literature.
Henry Dwight sedgwick. in the Atlantic.

Henry Dwight SedgWlcK. IN the AtiHntic.
The benefits of literature can hardly
be overestimated. Books enlarge
mans horizon. They raise a mirage of
water-brooks and date palms to travel
ers in a desert. They are ''the sick
mans health. the prisoners release.
Shut within a narrow routine of dull
necessity, sad at heart in a world where
wrong triumphs. where beauty has no
assurance of respect, where humanity
tolls terribly merely for its daily bread
or the satisfaction of trivial appetites.
the earthly pilgrim need do no more
than pick up n book. and 10! he steps
into another world. Here he is free
from sorrow and care, free from the
burden of his body. from envy, jeal-
ousy. contempt, self f-satisfaction. from
vain regrets. from wishes that can
never wear the livery of hope, from
narrowness of soul and hardness of
heart. He may mingle in the society
of the good and great; he may. listen
to the wise man, and the prophet: he
may see all the conditions of human
happiness and misery: he may watch
the human spirit. in its strife with cir
cumstances, nobly conquer or basely
succumb; he may go down through the
gate of a hundred SORROWS" or ac-
company Dante and Beatrice through
