The Love BY SABA M "When civilization on her luminous wlngB" sweeps over a country she brings many blessings, ano aibu many curses in her wake. The chief blessing, thc one that had brought more pleasure aud solace to the human race is literature. Htr rcli says "Literature exists to lighten the burden of men's live? to make them for a short while forget their sorrows, and their sins, their silenc ed hearts, their disappointed hopes, their grim futures." Think ot tlie magic that Ilea be tween the covers of a book. Steeped in weariness, or oppressed by care, you turn to your books, selecting one, you drop into a chair, and in a few minutes you are lost to the worid, care and weariness vanish, yqu are no longer yourself, you are not even conscious of turning tho pages. In tropic lands you aro w?lking across the white sand, and feel the beat scorch your checks, you stand be neath the stately palms, and hear the whisper of the leaves, you watch the restless waves as they uncurl murmuring at your feet, and feel the land breeze as lt drifts by, sweet with the strange perfumes of unknown flowers. Or you are in the trackless waste of tho far .North, you stride in snow shoes, the snow crunching und?T your feet, the flying particles stinging your face, you feel the exhil arating swing of your body, the bit ing freshness of the cold pure air. . One lias a vast city for those'un fortunate people who do not care for books, those who look upon reading as a waBte of time, and who considers one that prefers an hour with a trf Sl ured book to other enjoyment, as a kind of mild lunatic. How much they lose they do not know, and can not Imagine. Gladstone wrote to a friend "Books are a delightful society. If you go into a room and find it full of books-even without taking them from their shelves, they seem to speak to you, to bid you welcome, they seem to toll you that they have got something Inside their covers, that will be g od for you, and that they are willing and desirous to impart to you. Value them much." It Is passing strange how few peo ple really care to read, they skim through few popular novels, glance over the days paper, and that is all. Somo do not even do that. Many families aro without a magazine of any kind. It is all the more amaz ing, as this "is the UKO of books'", thousands pour from the press yearly, good, bad, and indifferent. But there are always books and magazines within reach of most people, and a book must be noor indeed that lias not Borne thought that imparts knowl edge or gives pleasure. In walk ing over an arid piece of land, a gleam in the dry dust catches your' eye, you stoop and pick up a crys tal, a tiny cube, flawless, shining like a jewel in the desert. So in many books, we pick a flower here and a (gem where we' expected a pebble, something to treasure and remember. We /eel a positive affection for some authors, what happy evenings they have given us. How many lone ly lives \aO world over they have cheered. "We should reverence books. Consider a message to us from human souls whom we never saw, who lived thousands of miles away, and yet In these little sheets of paper speak to us, teach ds, com fort us." Think of the happiness of the long winter evenings, with a stormy night outside, the wind vollying around the house, the rain pounding on the roof, inside, close . curtained windows, cheerful Are snapping and cracking most companionably, your dog stretched on the rug, e comfortable Wear ?OJ?; Fitted perfectly by our corsetiere . $3.50 to $12.60 Mrs. B.

TBESCOTT. big chair, lamp properly adjusted, and a new book, or a much loved old one. Goldsmith says "There is un speakable pleasure attending the lifo of a voluntary student. The first time I read an excellent book, it ls to me just as if I had gained a nev/ friend. When I read a book I have persusod before, it resembles the meeting au old one..' The reading of poetry seems parti cularly out of date with thc general reader, which is much to be deplored, ?is they miss so much that is beauti ful. Take this exquisite poem by Eric Mackey "The Waking of the Lark," or which only a verse or two can be given. Oh! hush! Oh! hush! how wild a gush of rapture in the distance, A roll of rhymes, a toli of chimes, a cry for lov?ea assistance; A sound that wells from happy throats, A flood of song where beauty floats, A?1 where our thoughts, like golden boats, do run to cross a river. This ls the advent of the lark-the priest in gray apparel. Who doth prepare to trill In air, his sinless summer carol; This ls the prelude to the lay , The birds did sig In Caesar's day. And will again, for aye and aye, in praise of God"s creation. O dainty thing,' on wonders wing, by life and love slated, Oh sing alound from clout to cloud, till day be consecrated: Till (from the gateways of the morn, The sun, with all his light unshorn. His robes of darkness round him torn, doth scale the lotty heavens. One fairly sees the little "priest in gray apparel" winging h!s way to the gateways of the morn, and hear the silver "flood of son floating from thc tiny throat. Some lines e?sfrance one, lingering in our minds, like some bewitching strain of music. In George Merediths "Modern Love" the sonnest beginning. "He saw the swallows gathering in the sky" and ending. "And still I see across the twilight wave' neath her wings," The swan sall with her young be neath her wings," is an inspiration ic the art of writing. So many favorite quotations tremble on the point of tho pen, so many exquisite thoughtr. from verse and prose throng ones memory, so many captivating bits from the en chanted, realm of book lore*, thai one could fill endless pages, but I will on ly add thc refrain poem, that haunt ing poem of Kipling's "The Road to Mandalay" which Charles Frances Adams says is instinct with "thc eter nal voice of human regrets." .iFor tho- -wind is in -th? -palm-trees, and the temple bells they say." Come" you back to Mandalay Where the old flotilla lay : For tho temple bells are calling and ita there that I would be Ry the old Mou) minc Porgo da, look ing lazy at thc sea, On the Road to Mandalay Where the old flotilla lay With our sick boneath the awning When we went to Mandalay On the road to Mandalay \V7uere the flying fishes play.
