PAINTING,
interesting illustrations in the article on
'Valley Forge as a National Park," by
E. W. Hocker in the April Magazine
Number of The Outlook. ($3 a year.
The Outlook. Company, 287 Fourth
Avenue. New York.)
Only a brief summary of Mr. Cleve
land's two recent lectures on the Vene
zuela Affair was given to the public,
the lectures having been especially copy
righted for appearance in the June and
July numbers of The Century Magazine.
Few except speciaLatudents are aware
of the long history of the connection of
the United States- with the subject.
-AtnoDg the interesting points brought
out in the lectures, and not reported,
may be mentioned Mr. Cleveland's
scathing remarks on the relation of the
senate to treaties formulated by the ex
ecutive branch of the government. The
lectures constitute Mr. Cleveland's most
important contribution to history.
The Blessing of Silence.
- "The person who speaks without
thinking resembles the hunter who
shoots without aiming," says the noted
philosopher Montesquieu.
This is essentially an age of confusion.
8itting in our offices or walking on the
streets our senses are confused by a
medley of discordant sounds the con
tinual pounding of hoofs upon the pave'
meets and rattling of heavy carts min
gled with the clanging of street car bells,
the shrieking of whistles, the clamor of
newsboys and peanut venders, all to
.thea?coa)panimeut of hand organs,
street bands and ever-present, long-suf
fering pianos. Small wonder that hu
man beings, who are eo easily influenced
by outward surroundings, should be the
victims of an increasing mental disquie
tude, a confusion of ideas which is op.
posed to dear and effective .thinking,
ana wmen leaves ine numan race no
further advanced in mental develop
ment than in ages past.
Not least among the enemies of
inougui ana reason is tne nabit 01 in
discriminate chattering so common
among persons of limited brain. capaci
ty. "Phe lets men think, the more they
apeak,' sajs Montesquieu at another
time. Volume after volume of rag-time
conversation is projected into the world
to the bewilderment of the elect few
who believe that language ia a vehicle
for expressing thought instead of an
apology for the absence of it
Not many of us can withdraw, like
Carlyle, to a sound-proof room where
in the silence we can listen to the whis
perings of our "utmost spirit," and thus
gain an inkling of the great truths of
this life and of the life to come. If only
we could remember the words of the
poet-philosopher, Oliver Wendell
Holmes: "Language is a solemn thing;
it grows out of life out of its agonies
and ecstacies, its wants and weariness.
Every language is a temple, in which
mo euui 01 inoee wno epeaic it is
enshrined.'

Vigil.
S. E. ATHEARK.
Lord, give me sleep or I die,
From night till morning k my cry;
My heart beak so wearily,
Tae hours pass so drearily.
If my work on earth k done,
If my race k nearly run,
Oh, give me sweet patience to bear
whatever thy loving care
Sees fstttag, that I may be
Prepared for Eternity.
