THE MORNING CALL. Vol. X. No. 172. SOCIAL SALAD PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR SUNDAY’S CALL. "Never a daisy that grows, but a mystery guideth the growing; Never a river that flows, but a majesty scepters the flowing; Never a Shakespeare that soared, but a stronger than he did enfold him ; Nor ever a prophet foretells, but a mightier seer hath foretold him. “Back of the canvas that throbs the paint er is hinted and bidden ; Into the statue that breathes the soul of the sculptor is bidden : Under the joy that is felt be the infinite issues of feeling; Crowning the glory revealed is the glory that crowns the revealing. “Great are the symbols of being, but that which is symboled is greater; Vast the create and beheld, but vaster the inward creator; Back of the sound broods the silence, back of the gift stands the giving; Back of the hand that receives thrill the sensitive nerves of receiving. “Space is as nothing to spirit, the deed is outdone by the doing; The heart of the wooer is warm, but warm er the heart of the wooing; And up from the pits where these shiver, and up from the heights where those shine, Twin voices and shadows swim starward, and the essence of life is divine.’’ * » * In a recent criticism of a conaprev hensive book on economic questions it was stated that the book was full of ‘ moral earnestness’' The reviewer did not add that the argument of the book was badly constructed and full of reiterations. Its style was witty and forcible, but the exposition was not convincing. The economist who grounds bis conclusions on reason and a consensus of proved facts is not convinced by moral earnestness or by wit. He looks for logical argument and statistics from one who asks con sideration for a new position on economic questions. Unquestionably moral earnestness is the best basis for a book or for acharacter, but it-is un practical, and often mischievous, un less it is trained and guarded by rea son and common sene. To comprehend and admire moral earnestness one must have some appreciation of moral ity, must have somewhat of a moral nature one’s self, just as to enjoy logic one’s mind must be logical. Moral earnestness and enthusiasm are mean ingless to a mind hide-bound with narrow dogmas and effete traditions, as it is useless to talk of premises and postulates to a savage, and as it is foolish to stand at the head of the stairs and expect the creeping baby to reach you. If you want the baby to come up, you must go down and teach him to climb the first step; you must first train the undeveloped mind to understand reasoning, and the bigoted mind must be pierced by a soul-ray, before it can ever respect “moral earnestness.” Before such a change, the man adjudges the “moral enthusiast” to bs an ordinary lunatic, and from bis point of view he is right. In fine, one must meet people on the plane of their development, if one would help them rise to a higher one, and moral earnestness without reason or judgment is, more often than not, fatal to its own cause. ♦ ★ ♦ The last meeting of the Hawthorne Club was a most delightful one—bed sides the very excellent programme which had been arranged for this oc- Discovered By a Woman. Another great discovery has been made, and that, too, by a lady in this country. “Disease fastened itsclutches upon her, and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly, and could not sleep. She finally discover ed away to recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle of Dr. King’s New Dis covery for Consumption, and was so much relieved on taking first dose, that she slept all night ; a-'d with two bottles, has been absolutely cured Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz” Thus writes \V C.

There is a softening and taming down of crude coloring both in gowns and in bats. All shades of all colors are seen, but the prevail ing tints ars much more subdued than they have been for several years, and there are a greater harmony and greater refinement in everything. The skirts all are made close and tight fitting, but are so cut that they flare about the feet and allow plenty of width for a graceful walk. » » * Mr. Nat Terry gave a pleasant card party to a number of friends Tuesday evening.
