TI E\ ENING GALL. 1 fol. x. No. 232 ISOCIAL SALAD I PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR I THE EVENING (’ALL. I LIVING. "How to make life worth ’living?” The question haunts ub every dav ; it colors the first flush of sunrise, ft deepens the twilight’s last ray. There is nothing that brings us a drearier pain Than the thought, “We have lived, we are living in vain.” We need, each and all, to be needed, To feel we have something to give Toward soothing the moan of earth's hunger; And we know that then only we live When we feed one another as we have been fed From the hand that gives b dy and spirit their bread. Our lives they are well worth the living ' When we lose our small selves in the whole, And feel the strong surges of being Throb through us, one heart and one soul, Eternity bears up each honest endeavor . The life lost for love is life saved forever. * * » Among the many novels and bocks I of various descriptions just out, not I one has excited more comment than I Alan Dale’s new novel, “His Own Ims I age.” That Mr. Dale’s book would be ! something quite out ol the ordinary, was a foregone conclusion among the many newspaper readers on both sides of the Atlantic—to whom his caustic criticisms of plays and players long since made both bis name ard literary style familiar. Nor was the conclusion in any sense a faulty one, for the seek er after the abnormal in fiction must need search long and diligently, in or der to find a story more sensational, more lurid or more essentially repel |ant, than that enclosed between the covers of this daintily presented vol- I I emu. Mr. Dale, like the fat boy in Pickwick, “likes to make yer flesh creep;” and it is but fair to him to say that bis penchant for imagining hor rors is equaled only by his skill in depicting them. A more hoirible monstrosity than the central figure of tbs present story was never conceived 1 by Poe ; a gloomier plot or a ghastlier I dinonement was never portrayed by I Hugo. The characters in the story I are not numerous, but they are graph I ically, if fantastically draw:.—from ■ “Reginald Ilelerick, actor, of carefully I embroidered reputation, egc-rnanias I of almost psycological import,” to Mrs. Landington, the Notting Hill house- I keeper—“a respectable, black alpaca ■ lady,” who “always wore a cameo ■ brooch, with an extinct busband’s hair at the back, ami a circle of white juch- I ing around her neck. Nobody doubted I her, nobody’ could doubt her. Any I jury in England would have acquitted I her of anything on earth, without I leaving their reals, with the cameo I brooch and the niching as evidence of j her virtue.” True, it is a little difficult to comprehend how the middle-class, I Pelicia Halstead, “one of those natur« j ally gray, incomplete creatures, we ■ used to call women before Mme. Sarah I Grand’s hideous prose declared war t against Tennyson’s matchless poetry,” | could ever, even by accident, have I achieved the marvelous histrionic suc cess with which ehe is credited ; but I then, if she had hadn’t achieved it, I there would have been no apparent excuse for her existing at al!—and the I book would never have been written. I It is h fascinating book, on the whale, ■ for al) its greweomeness ; and however I strongly we may feel inclined to quar- I rt| l with Mr Dale for bis lavish use of Story of a Slave. Io be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery. George I). Williams of Manchester, Mich , tells how such a slave was made free. He says: “My wife has been so helpless for five yea’s that she could not turn over in bed alone. After using two bottles of Elec tric Bitters, ehe is wonderfully im proved and able to do her own work.” Thia supreme remedy for female dis eases quickly cures nervousness, sleep- I leseuess, melancholy, headache, back i ache, fainting and dizzy spells. This I miracle working medicine is a god ! send to weak, sickly, run down people. I Every bottle guaranteed Only 50 I cents. Sold by J. N.
