Sometimes the state of the public mind is rigid, like the mountatn: sometimes it is fluid, Hike the sea, ‘Tho great eras of progress are those in which the state cf mind rapidly changes; when the flowing tide of public opinion washes new tinents of thought. e J ign We are lving in such a time. Men are forgetting that they belong” to this party and that; they are beginning to feel that the parties they support should “belong” to them. A new state of mind! Men are less reverent of old constitutions, less satisfied with the tule of courts, They no longer respect the dead band of the past. A new state of mind! ‘ <i diaasailaciden They are even beginning to ret Why should a few own the earth?

Only the birds and the wind come there. Yet on that ledge, where man has never been, where, in all likell- hood, no man ever wille while the world spins, there are violets that bloom year in and year out, just as do the violets in the valley below. If you were to lean over the verge of the cliff some clear day in early May and look at the ledge with a powerful glass, you could see the violets as a blue blur. But nobody ever does that. No one, in all the thousands of years that have passed since the green began fo show among the crumbling shale of tho little ledge, has really seen the violets that grow there. But think you that these violets are any less rich in their coloring or less delicate in their veining, any less graceful in their lines or less prompt-in their waking in the spring because none of us ever goes there to see them? Don't you fool yourself. Whether or not you come and look is as immaterial to the violet as the phases of the moons of Saturn are to you. What, then, ARE violets made for, if not to be seen or smelled or bought and sold or preached about? Not for anything that directly concerns us, you may be sure. To work out some secret destiny of their own perhaps, but certainly not merely to please us, or to give us texts for sermons, or to be worn over the hearts of our women. Fact is, we don't know what violets are made for. Perhaps violets know, but be sure they won't tell, ‘This, too, is one of ife's minor mysteries. And never will.
