THE ATHENAEUM 41 nowadays enjoys luxuries which Midas with all his wealth could not command. Let us recognize no horizon to our endeavors; let us despair of no goal.

A MONG those with whom our lot is cast we must learn to search for their brightest and best qualities and to develop there an ideal.
