knowledge and ENJOYMENT

What we love to do, that We do well.
To know Is not all /: il is only half. To
love is the other half Wordsworth's
poet was cOntented IL he might enjoy
the things which others understand
This is generally the attitude Of the
young and of the poetic nature. The
man Of science. on the other hand, is
contented If he may understand the
things that others enjoy; that Is his
enjoyment. Contemplation and absorb
tion for the one: investigation and
classification for the other. We prob
ably all have, in varying degrees, one
or other of these ways of enjoying
Nature; either the sympathetic and
emotional enjoyment Of her which
the young and the artistic and the po-
etic temperament have. or the enjoy
ment through our knowing faculties af.
fOrded by natural science, or II may be,
the two combined. as they certainly
were In such a man as Tyndall.--

An Honorable Form

The essay is a literary creature to the
making of which go mood and form !;
and the former would seem by far the
paramount thing. Great and special
gifts does it demand. 'Tis an Ariel
among literary kinds, shy. airy, tricksy,
elusive, vanishing in the garish light
that beats down upcn the arena where
the big prizes of fiction are competed
for amidst noise. confusion, and eclat.
But even in its own slight, winsOme
way does II compel attention. and gain
hearts for it's very own. 'Tis an aris-
tocrat of letters: nowhere is it so hard
TO hide obvious antecedents. Many
try but few triumph in 1t. Therefore.

thanks special. since through him is
handed on so ancient and honorable a

Lady Arobella johnson

Lady Arabella was the daughter of
Thomas. earl of Lincoln. She married
Isaac Johnson. who left his native
land for New England from religious
motives. Lady Arabella cheerfully ac-
companied him. and they arrived ut
Salem, Mass, in April, 1880. Her ex-
allied character and gentleness gained
her universal esteem, but she died i'm
the September following her arrival.
Mr.. Johnson survived her little more
than month. He is regarded as the
founder of Boston. and though his
time was brief, yet the good work he
accomplished will never be forgotten
by the people of New England But
dearer still is the memory Of Lady

L'ALLEGRO REVISED

Hence you loathed studies,
Of dingy rooms and frowning teach
ers born
In schools we scorn.
'Mongst profs and rules and hours of
daytime,
See that thou there remain,
Where those that study bend their
weary head;
Read works of masters long among
the dead;
There with their dreary sights and
tiresome care,
Where nothin's fair.
From leaving your dull prison more,
refrain.
But get some pretty cross word puz-
zle,
Till your minds perfect fuzzle,
Rack your brain with ceaseless care
To catch that hard word unaware.
Or, if you're more for romance
turned,
Some pleasant reading Justly earned,
Short stories or a novel thrilling,
10 give your brain giddy milling.
Where the hero fair, tho fool,
Meets some pretty miss at school;
Courts her every day thru college,
Where they're sent to get some knowl.

Takes her to dance or show
In his private car you know;
Swears he's never loved another,
Kisses her most lilqe her mother,
And the girl, true to the line,
Much flustered in her mind,
Kids him On through thick and thin,
Till he finds she took him in;
Then he makes lusty shout,
Raves and bowls, skips school to pout
Views grey walls thru tear drops dim
While life indeed seems blue to him.
TO the girl so very sore,
Living's useless any more.
Dances tiresome, tho there're plenty
School exacting, teachers benny.
Then by chance again they meet,
At some corner of the street;
Bump together by mischance;
Know each other at glance
Both are sorry, both are glad.
He takes her home, pretends he's mad
Another incident or two,
And they are back as good as new.
Swear undying, true devotion,
Tho separated by an ocean.
Start to work with might and main,
To have good time once again.
Perhaps you like more direct pleas
ure,
Your own strength at vamping meas
ure.
Some girl with dancing eyes of blue,
That both invite and dare you, too;
You are wrought from head to toe,
This desperate love has got you so.
Wonder what it is best to do,
And whether she would go with YOU.
Then at last you get your chance,
Bewildered by her witching glance,
Take her riding in your flivver,
Set your heart throbbing quivver.
While you hold her finger tips
Or lightly, quickly brush her lips.
Life is quickly rushing by,
You yourself would gladly die
For one moment to be near her,
See her, touch her, kiss her, hear her.
