Tho road winds over the hill

RIGHT A^D WRONG.
Alas: how hardly things go right:
'Tis hard to watch on a Summer
night, .
For the si^h will corjo and the Iciss
will stay.
And the Summer’s night is a Winter’s
day.
Alas: how easily things go wrong:
A figh too much, or a kiss too long.
And there comes a mist and a weep-
inq rain.
And life Is never the ssme again.
And yet how easily things go right.
If fhe Pigh and the kiss of tho Sum
mer's night
Come deep from the soul in the
stronger ray
TUat is honi in the light o? the W’in-
ter'fl day.
And things can never go badly wrong
If the heart be true and the love be
etrong;
For th(a mist, if it comes, and the
weeri-’-’ rain
V.'ill be chi*ngeU by the love into
sunfeiiine agaiii.
^ ART ♦
♦ »o
A writer In the Christian Common
wealth, of LcnUon. England. Is quot
ed in the Scott-Stile3 “Cyclopedia of
Illustrations'■ as giving the following
graphic description of Sigismund
Goetze's great canvas, called “Despised
and Rejected by Men," which created
an artistic sensation when It was
hung at the exhibition of the Royal
Academy In London:
In the centre of the canvas, says
the writer, Is the Christ, standing on
a pedestal and bound with ropes, while
on either side passes the heedless
crowd. A prominent figure Is a richly
vested priest, proudly conscious of the
perfection of the ritual with which he
is starving his higher life.
Over the shoulder of the priest
looks a etern-faced divine of a very
different type. Bible in hand, he turns
to look at the divine figure, but the on
looker is conscious that this tern
preacher of the letter of the gospel
has missed its spirit, and Is as far
astray as the priest whose ceremonial
Is to him anathema.
The startled look on the face of the
hospital nurse in the foreground is
very realistic; so is the absorption of
the man of science, so Intent on the
contents of his test tube that he had
side.
One of the most striking figures Is
that of a thoughtless beauty, hurrying
from one scene of pleasure to another,
and spurning a sweet-faced, ragged
child offering her a bunch of violets.
In rejecting the plea of the child we
know that the proud woman Is reject
ing the Christ, who has identified Him
self forever with the least of these
little ones.
The only person in the w’hole pic
ture who has found time to pause Is
the mother, seated on the steps of the
pedestal with her baby in her arms,
and we cannot but feel that, when she
has ministered to the wants of her
child she will spare a moment for the
lover of little children w’ho is so close
to her.
In the background stands an angel
with bowed head, holding the cup
which the world compelled the Christ
to drink, while a cloud of angel faces
look down upon the scene with won
der. As the visitor turns away there
is a hauntlnk idea of Stainer’s rruri-
fixlon—“Is it nothing to you, all ye
that pass by?”
A Famous Picture.
In thf' ?'’rta Maria Xovello Chapel,
of Florencp. Italy, l? a famous picture.
On the richt-brind side of this picture
Is a female figure with three children
at her knee. She is holding in one
hand a little rod and In the other a
golden apple, and she Is pointing to
an extremely narrow door.
COMPLIMENTARY !
QRAOUATION DINNER. I
Among the complimentary hos
pitalities of the week just passed
none snrpassed In beauty and ele
gance the graduation dlpner given by
Miss Mary Maxwell last night in
compliment to her bright and attrac-
tlc6 young neice, Miss Margaret
Pritchard. The floral effect was in
white and green, the loveliest of
roses being combined with emilax in
the floral embellishment. To this ef-,
feet, on the table, silver candle
■tlclrs shaded with gem sIlK were
used. An eI«cht-course dinner was hand
somely served. Miss Maxwell pre- j
sided with graceful ease and tact i
The guests were Miss Pritchard and
Mlsse Lillian Reid, Lillian Smith
Ix>ola Hanson, Margaret McCombs
Bessie Blakney, Nlrlam Long, Ruth
Porter, I.lly Shields, all of the gnul-
uatlng class of the Preshvterian Col-
lege.
'WOMANLY COURAGE AND
DEVOTION.
JUVENILE
PARTY.
A pretty Juvenile function yesterday
^ernoon was the party given by Miss
Clara Henderson, the pretty younei
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Arthur
Henderson In honor of her young
cousin. Mist Leonora Henderson of
’ Oroft, who Is visiting her aunt Mrs
John R. Irwin. After a jolly lot of
games, Ices, cakes and candles
were served at a most attractively set
table. Guests of Miss Henderson were:
Misses Leonora Henderson, Elizabeth
Keerans, Ellen Victor, Helen Bell Ade
laide Pearson Caldwell, Elizabeth
Sarratt, Margaret Anderson, Mary
Bridges, Armlde Blake, Fannie and
Jane Davidson, Hannah Rodman, Ara-
belle Johnson, Alice Flournoy, Virgin
ia Staten, Mary Alexander and Eliza
beth MUler.
Says the English Fortnightly Re
view: In warlike times, when battle
was the business of life, and victory
over a foe the highest honor that could
be had, when home in the true sense
there w’as none, and when castles
were less houses for pleasant living
than strongholds to shelter raiders and
resist assault, women were as heroic
as their age.
If they were not bo accurate in their
aim as the archers, of whom it was
said that every English bowman bore
■ under his girdle twenty-four Scots,
they knew how to man the ramparts
and defend the bridges, as well as
, their lords themselves.
I W’omanliness in the bower, dignity
in the hall, courage in the castie—
I that was the whole duty of these wo-
; men of a rude but manly age. and to
their example, their influence and their
shaping power as mothers, England
j owes much of her greatness and a
half of her strength.
I Letting Boadicea pass as an exam
ple of the feminine fighting blood, we
find in Dame Nicola de Camville an
early specimen of the warlike political
woman. She took the royal side in the
famous war with the barons, and held
j Lincoln Castle against Gilbert de
Gaunt, first for King John and after
ward for Henry III., till the battle call-
,ed Lincoln Fair broke her power.
1 The beautiful Countess of Salisbury,
she who was so ardently beloved by
the third Edward, was another in
stance of feminine daring, coupled in
her case with the most graceful sweet
ness. The Countess of March, com
monly known in history as Black Ag
nes, was heroic in her defense of Dun
bar against the English.
Queen Philippa, Queen Margaret and
others like them honored their adopted
nationality also by their courage and
devotion.
A BEAUTIFUL
WEDDING.
Beautiful indeed was the ceremony
Friday evening in the Second Presby
terian church, which united In mar
riage Miss Sar^h Louise Andrews of
this city, and Rev. Leroy Tate New^-
land, of Galva, Iowa.
Rev. Dr. McG«achy’s ceremony was
poetically and scrlpturally beautiful.
The church was spring-like in its
beauty of blossom and bush, dogwood,
pink roses, palms and ferns being lav
ishly used. Four little ribbon girls,
Misses Mary and Sarah Keesler, Dor
othy Parker and Laura Tlllett, dainty
in white frocks and pink ribbons,
guarded the aisles.
Miss Beatrice Blake presided at the
organ accompanying Mrs. Oscar Meyer
who sang “I Love You” just before
the entrance of the fridal party, and
later played the wedding march. The
ushers, Messrs. Colt Robinson, of
Lowell. Edgar Andrews, Henry Alli
son and Romane Boyd, of Charlotte,
and Clark Minter, of Davidson, entered
single down each aisle, followed by the
bridesmaids. Misses Alma Pescha'u, of
WMlmington. Onnie Andrews, Jean
Dowd and Pansy Bridges, of Charlotte,
in dainty dresses of pink flowered
mull combined with white mull, pink
chiffon and tracings of pink rose buds,
and carrying armsful of pink carna
tions. They passed one at a time,
joining the ushers at the pulpit. The
maid of honor. Miss Anna Reid An
drews, in pink chiffon, over messaline
and carrying pink roses heralded the
coming of the bride. The latter passed
down the north aisle on the arm of her
father, Mr. Thos. W. Andrews, her
fiance with his best man, Mr. Kenneth
Trotter, joining her and making com
plete the wedding tableau. A fair pic
ture she made In her lovely bridal
array of pearl white satin embroidered
in seed pearls, and with a hair band
that all girls as sweet and attrac
tive as she, w’ore some time or other
—orange blossoms. A single wreath of
these blossoms encircling the head
held the veil. On her left arm was an
immense and beautiful shower bouquet
of roses and lilies of the valley. From
the ctiuroh the bridal party went to the
lion;o of the bride, v/here an infoxTnal
Loin T/as speut. Mr. and Mrs, Newland
left ypKterday morning for Chadbourn
to vibit relatives. From there they go
to Wilmington on the same pleasant
mission. They will return to Charlotte
in June,
This marriage is one of the very hap
piest. The bride and groom begin their
married life by consecrating it to the
service of missions.
Mr. Newland is a graduate of David
son college, class of 1908. He complet
ed his course at Union Theological
Seminary last Tuesday and came im
mediately to Charlotte for his prom
ised bride and future co-worker in the
mission field. A sweeter, lovelier,
more charming and more womanly girl
he could not have found.
After leaving Charlotte In June Mr.
and Mrs. Newland go to Iowa, thence
to San Francisco, whence they sail in
July for Kwangju, Korea. Mr. Newland
will be supported by St. Andrew’s
church. Wilmington, and Mrs. New
land, by the church in which she took
her wedding vows.
They will be at the same mission
post at which are Rev. and Mrs. J. F.
Preston (Miss Annie Wiley of Sals-
bury), Rev. and Mrs. Robert Colt, and
Miss Bessie Knox, of Davidson.
Mr. and Mrs. Preston who are at
present home otf a visit, were among
the out-of-town gneats at the wedding,
being guests, while here of Mr. and
Mrs. D. P. Hutchlaon and the Misaes

D, A. R, Column
The Sunday Social Page is sensible
if the compliment—a distinct one—of
being chosen by the distinguished
State Regent of North Carolina as a
medium of communication betw^een
her, as the recipient of the following
interesting letter, and the D. A. R.
of the state with whom she wishes
to share the gratitude and beautiful
expressions contained therein.
On handsome paper, bearing the D.

Letter.
Mrs. Matthew T. Scott,
President General
National Society Daughters American
Revolution,
Memorial Hall
W’^ashlngton, D. C.,
April 28th, 1911.
My Dear Mrs. Van Landingham:
May I convey through you to the
members of tt) North Carolina delega^
tlon my most grateful thanks for the
beautiful lilies of the valley they sent
me during the Congress. The flowers
were a joy in themselves, and I en
joyed them with all my heart, both
for their fragrance and beauty, and
for the loving and loyal thoughts
which they so exquisitely expressed.
With my warmest greetings and
deep appreciation of the loyal support
of my North Carolina Daughters,
Faithfully yours,
JULIA G. SCOTT,
President General.
Mrs. John Van Landingham,

Thomas Polk Chapter.
Miss Louise Parks read before Thos.
Polk Chapter D. A. R. Thursday after
noon, the following report from the
recent Continental Congress in W”ash-
ington;
Madame Regent and Members of the
Thomas Polk Chapter Daughters of
the American Revolution.
I have the honor of reading to you
the report of the tw’entienth Continen
tal Congress meeting. I promised to
be alternate to our delegates, but ow
ing to the Illness of my brother, could
not be present, but I kept up with the
“doings” of the congress—and from
the papers and with other information
I write this report.
W’^e have 112-5 chapters in the United
States, one in Havana, Cuba, one in
Honolulu, one in old Mexico Citj'.
Monday, the day congress opened
there were 1118 delegates reported.
Those present from North Carolina
w’ere: Mrs. Van Landingham, state
regent; Mrs. N. Reynolds, state
vice regent; Mrs. Gregory, a vice presi
dent general; Mesdames. W. W. Watt,
I. W. Faison, B. D. Heath, Lotta John
ston, O. W^. Wheeler, W. O. Shannon;
Misses McElwee, Sarah Bolton and
Lida Rodman.
North Carolina cast only nine votes.
Unfortunately the Liberty Hall
chapter did not have its 50 members
and placed Mrs. Diggett, its delegate.
In a very embarrassing position, as
she was refused the' privilege of the
floor, and Mrs. Wheeler left WTash-
ington with her before the hour of
voting.
The convention was called to order
Monday morning by the president "gen
eral, Mrs. Matthew T. Scott. President
Taft gave the address of welcome.
Robt. L. Taylor, U. S. senator, made
a most pleasing speech and spoke so
tenderly of the South that they all im
mediately sang “Dixie.’*
A most beautiful reception was given
Monday evening by Mrs. Scott at the
Congress Hall.
Tuesday morning reports of com
mitters and chapters were given. Tues
day evening a caucus meeting of all
the states was held.
Wednesday the question of the mag
azine was discusfied and bitterly

of our bitterest fights, as we have a
deficiet of $7,000 to $9,000 a year.
Some claim that out of 98,000 members
of the Daughters are not interested
enough to subscribe to the magazine
that we had best resort to some other
means to publish the magazine.
It was finally decided upon to try
in two more years, as the present ed
itor would not take it for less.
Wednesday afternoon, a beautiful re
ception was tendered the Daughters
by President and Mrs. Taft at which
hundreds of the Daughters attended.
The White House w^s thrown open
and it w'as a most enjoyable affair.
Thursday morning, the nominations
took place for the national officers and
was the biggest fight of the entire
congress. Mrs. Scott was nominated
by Mrs. L. A. Noyes, of Illinois. She
was beautifully gowned, and spoke en
thusiastically of her candidate while
Mrs. Story was nominated by Mrs.
B^Drbet of Illinois, who is regent of the
largest chapter in the United States.
Then the fight began. I’ll read you
only one clipping from a New York
paper:
“Signed by 44 Illinois chapters
Daughters of the Arnerican Revolution
a communication, rebuking Mrs. L. K
Torbet, regent of the Chicago chap
ter, will be delivered to her late to
day
“The communication is intended to
censure her In “red hot” terms for
what the Illinois members of the or
ganization call “treason” to the cause
in failing to throw her support to Mrs,
Matthew T. Scott for the presidency
general of the body at the recent eleo
tion in Washington.
“Mrs. Torbet openly espoused the
cause of Mrs. William Cummins Story,
of New York, after the whole state
had voted unanimously to support Mrs
Scott for re-election.
“Members of the D. A. R. here de
clared the message w'ould open Mrs
Torbet’fi eyes to the way the' women
of the state feel toward her.
Thursday night many contributions
were handed in from all the chapters
I am glad to say Thomas Polk chap
ter presented a banquet hall chair cost
Ing $17.50, engraved on a brass plate
is: “Presented by Thomas Polk Chap
ter D. A. R., Charlotte, N. C., Miss Ha
zeline Thomas, Regent.”
Mrs. Heath presented to the Con
gress Library one of Miss Julia Alex
ander’s booklets of Charlotte, also one
of Mr. D. A. Tompkins’ books.
I am sure the chapter w^ill be inter
ested to know that the Thomas Polk
representative, Mrs. W. W. W’att, re
ceived many social honors. Besides
being voted the most beautiful wo
man who attended the congress, she
attended the drill at Fort Meyers, with
Mrs. Vrooman, daughter of Mrs. Scott
and had the honor of sitting in Presi
dent Taft’s private box. She also at
tended the tea given Mrs. Scott by
Mrs. Dickinson, wife of the secretary
of war.
The last business discussed Satur
day was keeping Brigham Young’i
picture from being placed on the bat
tleship Utah. It was decided that Mrs
Scott would send a committee to
President Taft to protect against it.
Liberty Hall.
Owing to Thursday being the date
of the Household Economics Depart
ment picnic at the Country Club, Lib
erty Hall Chapter D. A. R. will not
meet. The meeting will go over until
next week.
Charlotte Chapter
Charlotte Chapter D. A. R. w ill meet

full of interest as Mrs. Thies is to read

CONFEDERATE COLUMN ♦
That war is not all blood and thun
der and bomb shells is proved by the
following incident told by Maj. John
♦ OLD M’AULY MISSION. ♦
About 15 years ago I attended the
M’Auly Mission in New York with
Mrs. Claud Pritchard Jenkins, a
Federal veteran, in his daughter of the late Rev. Thos
book. The Campaign of Chanoellors-
ville,” which though limited to the
Chancellorsville campaign and attend
ant movements, is a very valuable ad
dition to the literature of the Confed
erate war.
It seems that General Fitzhugh Lee
and the Federal cavalry officer. Gener
al Averell, when cadets at West Point
were class mates and personal friends.
In March, 1863, they were opposed to
each other in the upper Rappahannock
river. Averell had a regiment of Ger
mans who had just been sent to the
front and of course never been under
fire- Lee crossed the river with a
body of cavalry to make a reconnais-
ance. At Hartwood church he was at
tacked or rather opposed the Federal
regiment of Germans above mentioned.
They stampeded at the first charge
and were pursued for some distance
by Lee who failed to overtake them.
A few days after the fight Lee sent
the following note to Averell: “I wish
you would put up your sword, leave
my state and go home. You ride a
good horse, I ride a better. Your’s can
beat mine running. If you won’t go
home return my visit, and bring me a
sack of coffee.”
This was early in the month of
March. A few, weeks later Averell re
turned Lee’s visit and at Kelly’s Ford
gained quite a victory.
A few days afterwards Lee received
the following: \
“Dear Fltz: Here's your coffee.
Here’s your visit. How do you like
It? How’s that horse?”
In this fight at Kelly’s Ford, the
“Gallant Pelham,” as Gen. R. E. Lee
called him, was killed.
A Rose Petal for You.
The honeysuckle’s scent Is in the air.
It Is the twilight hour—
I turn and see a face to me more
fair
Than any flower.
And in that face I strive to read my
fate.
And In those wondrous eyes;
And trembling in the balance as I
Walt my future lies.
Do you ever dream of it as well as I?
Do you think of it yet?
I shall remember it until I die—
Shall you forget?

Pritchard, D. D., distinguished di
vine of the Baptist church. Mrs
Jenkins, w^ho was a famous singer, in
this state before her marriage, used
her beautiful voice in New York in
mission work. She frequently yislted
the M’Auly Mission singing for the
people who formed the audiences at
that famous place. The old mission
which is one of the most famous
places in New York, is to be torn
dov.fn and a new $100,000 mission to
be erected on the site. Of* this
change The New York Sun says:
“The wooden benches in the little
hall, with its frieze of religious say
ings in the Jerry McAuly Mission, at
316 Water street, yesterday afternoon
and evening were packed with men
and women who wanted to take part
in the last services held In that
building. Today workmen will start
to tear it down to make way for'a
new $100,000 mission
“It was in March, 1871, When Jerry
McAuley, a river thief, received his
pardon from the state prison and
came back to Water street. Having
‘‘got religion” he only mixed with his
old associates to tell them what a
fine thing religion was, and in 1872,
with the backing of A. T. Hatch, a
oa^er, he rented a notorious dance
hall and established the Jerry Mo
Auly Mission.
“Three years later McAuley and
ms friends erected a three-story
brick building at 316, and there it is
ewimated that 1,500,000 have attend
ed the mission services. A fifth of
thieves, drunkards,

MEN, WOMEN AND LIFE.
(Lines spoken by Forbes-Robertson
as the Stranger in the play, “The
Passing of the Third Floor Back.”)
Women are so willful, and you kind
women are the sowrst of all.
It is the thought of youth that
shall one day make the world young.
Duty so soon tires—love goes all
the w'ay.
It is ag reat privilege to be deemed
worthy to suffer.
It is the helpless and the fallen
that hold in their hands the patents
of nobility.
Nothing, it seems to me, is more
beautiful' than the love that has
weathered the storms of life.
This is what w’e will tell to the
young men—that the fear that keeps
men little is the fear of being great.
You are young enough not to have
forgotten the thoughts of youth; old
enough to have learned pity.
The love of the young is for the
old—it is the beginning of life. But
the love of the old for the old, that
is the beginning of things longer.
The whole round w'orld, what is it
but woman’s child—claiming from her
tenderness.
It is the world’s book, so full of
the vulgar stories of dead love. It is
pleasant to come across one with
the old-fashioned ending.
Love! She is a woman. And all
men can she love—save one. With
all men may she dwell—save one;
with all men save the coward. It is
not poverty; it is the fear of poverty
that drives out love.

COMPLIMENTS TO

MISS WILMANN
HOSTESS TO HER CLASS.
With the merry and happy abandon
of youth the boys and girls known in
the Charlotte High School as the
Junior A’s frolicked for several hours
in the elegant home of Mr. and Mrs.
C. Valaer, FYIday night, as gues-ts of
their pretty, smart and attractive niece.
Miss Alma Willmann, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. A, R. Willmann.
Miss Willmann is one of the most
popular “Junior A.’s.” A» hostess to her
class-mates Friday night she was tact
fully assiduous, engaging and enter
taining.
The whole of the lower floor of the
Valaer home .was thrown en suite and
with its elegant furnishings, and
brilliant lighting from beautiful chan
deliers and fancy s-ide wall electric
effects, presented a lovely scene.
A pleasant break in the game^, mus
ic and general fun was the serving
of refreshments.
From a centre table ladened with
pink roses frqm Captain Theis-’ rose
garden, delicious ices and imported
cakes and wafers were served. The
complement—punch—was enjoyed in
the most charming of dens through
out the evening. Cute souvenirs were
given the guests', consisting of little
traveling bags from Germany, which
contained candy on which high duty
should have been charged, for it was
so good.
In a drawing contest that furnished
lots of sport, the prizes were won by
Miss Louise Lineberger and Mr. Av

by getting a big box of Huyler’s; the
latter the richer by the gift of a
mother of pearl knife.

A SEASON OF BRIGHT ^
CQLORS ♦
The multiplicity of shades which the
smart woman of this season has a
speaking acquaintance includes every
color, by whatever there is in land
or sea, in art or nature, to which it
may bear some slight resemblance,
says a writer in the Times-Dispatch.
By that title the shade is known. Ev
ery fish, flower and fruit has its fash
ionable namesake this year, and now
fashion is beginfiirir on the vegetables
and foodstuffs, so that the difference
between butter color and mayonnaise
3’^ellow must be at once distinguishable
by those w'ho pretend to know' aught
of the fine shadings of gowns.
Ribbons of cherry hue or hydranges
blue, cucumber green, or buttercup
yellow adorn lingerie frocks as the
complexion or taste of the wearer re
quire. There is a marked dlffereifce
.in the colors selected by young girls
and their elders, the bright tints going
to the former class.
The Commencement Kown.
No crfsp, fresh muslin frock for
this year's graduate. No one of the
cniarming, filmy materials out of which
commencement gowns are made may
now have any touch of crispness or
hang otjjerwise than straight and limp
ly. So in selecting material for a
girl’s graduation gown this fact must
be remembered, as well as another,
that the cotton voiles are this year
among the most popular of the thin fa
brics.
Elaborate Street Gowns.
Because of their rich elaboration, a
full description of street gowns this
season is a rather difficult thing. Put
ting out of the question a number of
two-piece costumes, composed of a
skirt and a coat, for which a waist
must be designed, the greater num
ber of fashionable street costumes
are made up of an underdress of great
richness, modified by a rather plainer
coat. With the skirt and coat cos
tume pretty cotton voile waists are
offered, and novel chiffon tops for the
plainer, complete underdresses.
White Coats for Summer.
Nothing is prettier than white for a
summer coat. Smart evening coats
of white satin are faced sometimes
with black, but they are not practical
when compared with coats of light
weight cloth, in white. These coats
may be trimmed or plain. Heavy lace
over a sailor collar and revers of vel
vet is effective, but plain velvet, which
is much in favor, is also effective.
Embroidery and braiding are employed
to render the coats most elaborate.
Children’s Fashions.
The little girl just emerging from
the juniper stage wears smock frocks,
trimmed with hand embroidered bands.
The touch of color is supplied by a
pink or blue sash of ribbon. Russian
blouse costumes, in pink and blue,
lined in natural color or pique, are du
rable, and launder to advantage. WTiite
altogether is the rule for the little
girls’ party dress. Should sheer law’n
or mull have a colored underfrock,
slippers, socks, hair ribbon and sash
must correspond with this color. Mad3
belts and girdles are sometimes worn
with party frocks, but the soft, wide
ribbon sash is always in good taste.
Little Girls’ Hobble Skirt.
Just w'here the belt should be plac
ed on the frock to be worn by the
small woman of today has caused a
considerable amount of discussion.
French modistes, associated with the
smartest houses, put the belt in prac
tically the normal position, but in some
costumes the belt is placed so far down
as to impede the movements of the
child almost as much as the hobble
skirt inconveniences her elders. The
abnormal waist effect produced by the
position of the belt is quaint on some
children, but on others it is very
ugly.

IDEALISM.
A broad optimism and a comincing
faith in the certainty of the American
man and woman to develop and grow
along the lines- of the trust idealism
characterizes the attitude of Hamilon
Wright Mabie, associate editor of The
Outlook, as express3 din a recent lec
ture in Washington.
Mr. Mabie believes in the Americans.
He believes furtherm;ire that it is upon
t^e idealistic tendency as expressed ia
s:;lence, art, politics, and religious
thou|,ht that the real development of
An-erican character has come. Of
Arnerican literature he sa* I:
“From the days when William Cul
len Bryant was writing ‘Thantopsls’
dow'n to the latest fragment of Ameri
can literati’ie the same thought, ideal-
iS’m, has been the guiding star of
American literary conception.”
My mind to me a kingdom is.—Ed

streams;
The shallow murmur, but the deeps
are dumb.

If?'" reminiscence,
After telling how Mr. Foota had
for several days goaded Mr Benton
Tays'l’'’
On April 17 Benton, having the
that the South was in no danger
that there was a cry of wolf when
there was no wolf, by which the
country was thrown into a flame.
Foote followed in a terrible a-
raignment full of loathing and con
tempt, until finally, in the middle of
a sentence that was never finished
Benton, white with rage, arose from
his seat, and passing around throu'^h
the lobby, entered the aisie leadin?
to Foote s desk. Foote immediately
advanced to the open space in froBt
of the speaker’s chair, dra\\ing a
revolver as he moved.
All was confusion in a momeii'.
Dodge, of Wisconsin, seized Benton!
and Daniel S. Dickinson, of Xew
-York, took possession of Foote’s re
volver, while from confusion con
founded the senate chamber was re
duced to consternation subduefj.
“During the uproar Benton could In
heard crying: l have no pistol. Siand
out of the way. Let him flrp. ] (]j?.
dain to carry arms. Let the
sin fire,’
I hope that order will be nieser'.-
ed,’ said Mr. Clay quietly.
'* pistol has been brought here
to assassinate me,’ yelled Renton.
The scoundrel has no reason to think
I was armed.’
I brought it here to defend my
self, returned Foote. ‘My fj'iends urg
ed me to that, being diminutive in
size and quite feeble in health.’
Immediate calls for the floor were
heard from all parts of the senate.
Benton repeatedly demanded that cog
nizance be taken of the fact that a
‘pistol ^ had been brought to assassi
nate him.’ No one would make such a
motion. John P. Hale, of Xew Hamp
shire, one of the youngest member!,
said that he considered it the proper
thing that an investigating committee
be named, and if no one else would
make the motion he would, but he
believed it should be done by an
older and more experienced man.
“Mr. Clay said he would be satisfied
of the senators give their word of
honor that they would drop the quar
rel during the session.
“To this Benton disdainfully re
plied: ‘I have done nothing on God
Almighty’s earth to authorize an.i^
man to charge me with a breach of
the peace, and I will rot in .jail before
I will give a promise admitting that
the charge is true.’
" ‘I shall always wear arms,’ FOO;®
spoke up, ‘when I suppose f am in
danger, for the purpose of self-de
fence alone.’
“Seeing that no amicable atljusf-
ment was to be had, a committee o'
six was appointed to investigate
disturbance and report such mes'-
ures as it saw fit. After tbrep raoctli?
the committee had no recommendJ-
tion to make, but hoped that tt?
senate’s disapprobation nf the pcew
would have a .salutary effeot, and ^
case of a repetition the feua’^e woii^^
