1 Lnow the need of the world, though it
veuld net have me know,
It wonld hide its sorrow deep, where only
Qod mny go;
et ity pecvel it connot keep;
t telln it awalke or asleep:
t tells it to all who will heed,
nd he who ming may rvend,
e need of the world 1 know.,
I know the read of the world when it
boasts of its wealth the loudest,
When it flaunis it in all men's eyes, when
its mien is the gavest and proudest,
, ever it lies, it lies! :
r the sonnd of its laughter dies
n a sob or a smothered groan,
énd it weons when it sits alone!
he neel of the world I know.
I know the need of the world when it
babbles of gold and fame; .
It is only to lv:uf us astray {rom the thing
that it dare not name,
For that is tha rad world’s way—
Oh, poor, blind world grown gray,
With the lack of a thing so near,
With the want of a thing so dear!
The need of the world 1 know,
I know the nead of the world when the
earth shakes under the tread
Of men who march to the fight, when
rivers with blcod are red,
‘And there is no law but might,
And the wrong way seems the right;
When he who slaughters the most
Is all men’s pride and boast.
The need of the world I know.
Oh, love is the need of the world! Down
under its pride of power,
Down under its lust of greed, for the joys
that last but an hour,
There lies forever its need.
For love is the law and the ereed;
And love is the aim and the goal
Of life, from the man to the mole,
The need of the world is love,
~Ella \Vheeler Wilcox, in The Century.
THE BLINDMUSICIAN
OF DAMASES,
Musa played presently; and I lis
tened, engaged, but not comprehend
ing, until the light began to fail in
the little room. And as he played, he
talked with the Interpreter—at last
putting aside the oud, and curiously
gesturing, smiling wistfully, too.
“It is a pretty story of his child
hood,” said the Interpreter, when
Musa had fallen silent. “I will tell
it to you.”
~ I heard then the story of the ca
noun and the angel, which pleased
ine very much. e
‘“Long ago,” the Interpreter began,
when this old Musa was a little child,
his mother was unkimdly disposed
toward him because he was blind.
‘What is the use of a blind bey, who
must forever consume, but contribute
nothing?’ she would say. ‘I had
rather have a seeing girl than a blind
boy,’ she said; ‘and I had rather have
neither than either.” Day by day the
Jittle Musa must listen to these com
plaints, and though he was wounded
sorely, as he says, he would neither
curse God because of his aflliction
nor answer his mother in anger, be
lieving always in the wisdom of God.
‘When I am grown,” he would reply,
*I will find a work for the blind to
do.” ‘There are the blind and the
blind,” said she, ‘and you are of the
blind who are blind indeed. Is it so
that I am to'serve you all my life and
gain no smallest service in return?’
*No,” answered Musa; ‘the good God
who created me, leaving me blind,
will yet give me some labor that a
blind boy may do.” To escape his
mother’s wailing he would then go
into the street, where he must feel
his way along the walls, being care
ful to avoid the teeth and hoofs of
the beasts of the city, but not fearing
the men of Damascus, who are ten
der to the afilicted, according to the
teachings of their religion. First
@ step or more; then beyond, even
tually to the corner, and at last into
the Long Bazar.
“Musa walked out, feeling his way
along the walls, careful of the hoofs
and teeth of the donkeys and camels,
and came presently near the corner
of the Long Bazar, where, strangely,
he was arrested by sweet tinkling
,sounds. These he had never heard
before—no music, as he has told me:
neither oud nor canoun. He stood
against the wall, below the window
whence issued the attractive sounds
+~withdrawn from the jostling and
complaint and pity of the street.
Soon, enraptured, he issued from
this seclusion, and caught a passer
by by the robe.
. “‘What is this?’ he demanded.
© %It is a canoun,” was the answer;
and thereupon the man explained the
manner of its playing and all the
business of music. |
“‘lt is evident,” thought Musa,
‘that God has led me to this place
and entranced me. Surely, the God
who made me to be born blind had
the intention of succoring me, and
having led me to this accident, wishes
that I should continue, not a turner
of wheels, but a giver of delight.’
© ““Musa’s mother would hear noth
ing of this plan. ‘What!” cried she;
‘a canoun indeed! Shall we give a
bear silk to weave?’
“Always was this answer, ‘Shall
we give a bear silk to weave?’ Night
and day the same: ‘Shall we give a
bear silk to weave? Shall we give a
pear silk to weave?! until Musa
ought no more, ‘But,” thought he,
T will ask God to send an angel with
a canoun, and in this way I will sure-
W gain my wish,’ This he did night
be sent m"fi:‘xfln: ‘but no angel ‘
eame, pray as hard as he might, It
became his habit, then, when in the
street, to pause, absent minded, and ‘
gtrum the palm of his left hand with
the fingers of his right; and this curi.
ous occupation never failed to attract
attention, ‘Blind boy,” they would
ask, ‘why do you this queer thing?’
‘T play on my little canoun,’ he an
swered; ‘it is my little canoun, and
[ play.,) Always he would answer in
the same words, strumming the palm
of his left hand, ‘I play on my little
canoun.” One day a lady laughed
close at hand. ‘Little boy,’ she asked,
‘what are you doing?’' ‘I play,’ Musa
answered, ‘on my little canoun,’ ‘But
here,’ sald she, ‘is no canoun!’ ‘lt is
true, lady,’ he answered; ‘but having
no canoun I must pretend to possess
one." The lady laughed then, and
went away; and Musa idled on, but,
returning, was intercepted by a boy
of his neighborhood, who said, ‘Make
haste; there is a surprise in store for
vou.! At the corner of the Long
Bazar they said, ‘Go faster; you will
be much pleased with what you find
at home.” Belleving then that the
angel had arrived, Musa hastened;
and at home, indeed, he found his
first eanoun,
“‘An angel,’ he said, ‘has brought
it!” "—Norman Duncan, in Harper's
Magazine.
THE SOCIALISTS IN AMERICA. ‘
What They Believe and What They ‘
Have Gained. ‘
1
That eminent Socialist, Charles Ed
ward Russell, has some particularly ;
interesting things to say in Hamp-‘
ton’s Magazine. For instance, speak- ‘
ing of the growth of the movement in
America, he declares: ‘
The first appearance of a Socialist
party in the United States was in
1892 when Simon Wing was nom
inated as the Socialist candidate for
President. These figures of the So
cialist votes cast at Presidential elec-,‘
tions show the growth of the move

sooß.icaoisiavive B AON

S 0 . csivvvnsinss BDIN
| . IRFOREREER e, |
10908, ... iBO 000
The vote of 1904 was a very mis
leading indication of Socialist
strength since it comprised the votes
of many thousands of radical Demo
crats who were disgusted with the
nomination of Judge Parker and with
the defeat in the national convention
of the radical element of the party.
But the vote of 1908 was purely So
cialistic, and may be taken as an ac
curatz measure of the present
strength of the party in the United
States.
All the .more remarkable this
growth seems because it has been
made in the face of intense and unre
mitting opposition from all the influ
ential agencies in the country—press,
pulpit and public officers; it has not
had even the assistance of a fair
statement of Socialism’s objects in
the public prints; and it has been
obliged to combat the full strength
of the prejudice to which I have pre
viously referred. No other movement
in our times has been so fiercely de
nounced or has had against it the
weight of an official disapproval so
profound and effective. As in Europe
so in America the ruling and wealthy
classes have looked upon Socialism
with inexpressible abnorrence and
upon a Socialist as an implacable en
emy of the human race; and with all
the great means at their command
these classes have striven to impress
their views upon the community.
And -what is, in fact, this terrible
monster that thus causes the cheek
of statesmanship to pale and shakes
with terror so many hearts of valor
approved upon the battlefield and the
hunting ground? Also just what is
this movement that in our own times
has arisen from nothing to such a
commanding position in the world?
What is this Socialism that has won
so many millions in so many lands to
its support, and continues day by day
to win others?
Two terrific propositions and no
more, to wit:
1. All men are brethren, not mere
ly brethren in name but brethren in
fact, with a common blood, common
destiny, common interests, common
cause. The welfare of one of us is
the brotherly concern of all of us, and
being brethren, all war and strife and
hatred should cease.
2. The things that men need in
common should be owned in common
and supplied for the common good,
not for private profit; there should
not be private ownership and control
of other universal necessities any
‘more than there is private ownership
Lofealry
That is all. Isn’t it awful? :
The New Morality.
So it’s away with your old morality
and your prating about duty, self-re
straint, sin and its punishment.
“Science” or “evolution,” as the case
may be, has shown that to be strong
is to be virtuous, that to seize is the
aim of life and to let go one’'s hold
the supreme transgression. — New
