EXAMPLK OF MAX'S IMPOTENCE.
One of tlie eavtli'.s fairest lands, which l?as known all
the extremes of fortune from the dawn of history, has just
felt the full weight of nature's arm once more. Cicily and
Calabria are desolate, and, at the moment, it seems as if
there could be no rebuilding upon the ruins as if 'the
"hazard of new fortunes" were too desperate for hope.
But, with the lapse of a few months or years, asserts I lie
New Orleans Times-Democrat, the immortal longings will
prevail, towns more splendid will rise upon the 'ashes of
the old, the survivors and their children will go about their
business as if the rout ine of t he ages were intact. The dead
past buries its dead, the bitterest, of pangs is brief and the
irrass soon hides the battlefield 's blood stains. In the di
vine economy, individuals and nations are but bubbles on
the everlasting surge which comes we know not. whence
and goes we know not whither.
Such phenomena simply attest the truth of a famous
prose poet's remark that of all the mysteries of existence
the most pregnant lies in the fact that "man, forever face
to face with an inevitable death, can forget that he is born
to die." We construct our houses, our systems and our
creeds as if we had a freehold and were not tenants at will.
We scheme and trade!, give obligations and take them as
if we were sure lo he here; when the obligations fall due.
On the list of the New York slock exchange there is at least
one bond which will not mature till more than four cen
turies shall have gone. Neither the maker nor any i ic-
diate holder of such a bond can have an imagination ample
enough to grasp the possibilities of an interim long as that
whi'ch separates the establishment of the Roman empire
from its full. Nor is it in these great affairs alone that we
take for granted the social and political surroundings as
we know them. There never was, there never will be the
man or the people keen visioiied enough to look into the
grave. Decades, and even eons, are. conceivable in a vague
way but eternity baffles us all.
Thus nut ure, with fond touch, helps us to see and to
be blind. No city would be built if the founders could as
similate the lesson of Ninevali and Tyre; no aristocracy
would intrigue to perpetuate its wealth ami its pride if
the tale of the overthrow of aristocracies were more than
a fable in its eyes; no democracy would rear air castles
if it understood the flinisiness of the base on which such
castles are reared; no priesthood would pretend to exclu
sive steawardship of the oracles of (lod if it bore in mind;
the temples that have crumpled to dust, and the cults that j
have passed into silence;. We dream and work, because
we cannot see things as they are just as he. who has not J
been rocked by an earthquake assumes mat terra iirnia isj
i i , !: i' I. .. 1 1 1. : l.ll

feels himself safe in the mother's arms, so we trust that
providence will answer our need with a caress. Why are
these things so? Philosophy puts the question and ech
oes it. If the echo were enough there would not today be
a church beneath the cross, nor a mosque beneath the cres
cent.
In the meanwhile if must suffice to know that each
soul is a universe unto itself and that, through its narrow
channels, the tides of destiny are; as strong as those of the
Hellespont. This thought does not overwhelm us in tin
dawn, as it does in the gloaming, of our days; but, as the
goal draws near, the wildest charioteer gets a glimpse, of
the shape of the course!. And, in the retrospect, it b nics
plain that, though the physical perishes the mortal en
dures. Pain fades into pleasure, love is translated into
;duty, craft yields to principle, whim is swallowed up in
law, and egotism is the herald id" the instinct to agonize
for those who will not repay, even with thanks. "A pot
of ale and safetv" was the iiraver of FalstalT's page, but
the victorious armies are of a different breed fight
straight on. without, knowledge of the ban and without
dread of the steel.
