Great Ideas travel slowly and for a time noiselessly, as the' gods whose Feet were shod with wool. LITERATURE. What the Arts are to the world of matter, Literature is to the world of mind. Many books we can read in a railroad car and feel a harmony between the rushing of the train and the haste of the Author, but to enjoy standard works we need the quiet of a winter evening — an easy chair before a cheerful fire, and all the equanimity of spirits we can command. He who would understand the real... spirit of Literature should not select authors of any one period alone, but rather go to the fountain- head, and trace the little rill as it courses along down the ages, broadening and deepening into the great ocean of Thought which the Men of the present are exploring. The true literary Man is no mere gleaner, following in the rear and gathering up the fragments of the world's thought; but he goes down deep into the heart of Humanity, watches its throbbings, ana- lyzes the forces at work there; traces out, with prophetic foresight, their tendencies, and thus, standing out far beyond his Age, holds up the picture of what it is and is to be.
