Alice 31. Blown in Bo.ten Transcript.
An author must of necessity have two
personalities the oue he presents te the
public, and which every one is at perfect
liberty le cviticifec, and the ether his own
private individuality, which he may either
scatter broadcast te the world at large, as
a sort ei mental photograph, or reserve for
his own familiar friends. -Dear as the
memory of Dickens must be te all hearts
appicciativc of the fun and pathos which
could net have failed te be the outgrowth
of something genuine in his own natura,
one cau but think of him as wearing a the
atrical mask for the benefit of admiring
audiences. Pcihaps his willingness te be
discussed, and thus gratutieusly adver
tised, did net ceme from au unworthy
beuice ; he lcceguiasd his kinship
te humanity, and p'&s eagerly aux aux
ieus that humanity in turn should
knew and leve him. One would feel at
liberty te gebsip about him above his
grave and ask, " Did he live thus and se?
What weie his p'jisenal ta&tes ? Why did
he like this man and hate the ether?"
But who would wish te pry into the secret
spiings of action which animated shrink
ing Hawthorne? It would be as great an
impertinence as te have seized him during
his lifetime and diagged him, an unwill
ing captive, into 3Irs.Le Hunter's draw
ing room for exhibition. One could ima
gine dear old Thackcrcy looking ever his
spectacles indulgently and saying, "Well,
you arc a .set of stupid people, te step for
gossip about mc ia this Vanity Fair of a
world ; but if it amuses you, go en. Yeu
might as well be occupied in one
child's game as another." Se these
who have become famous cither re
fuse te be introduced te us,
or cezne boldly forward rfnd ener the hand
at a world's impaitial and democratic re
ception, one saying. " Here are my whims
and fancies. Magnify them, and I will help
you until you construct a character se ec
centric that you swear it must be that of
genius !" another declaring frankly. " We
arc all brothers and sisters. I like you
heartily ; I wish te knew and study the
most commonplace among you." Geerge
Eliet, among the few who have apparently
neither vanity or desire of notoriety, chose
te remain, in her private capacity, un
known, and wc cau only hope that her life
will net be rudely exposed and investigat
ed by literary gossips.
One would g'adly have known her well,
the woman as well as the artist ; it is a
legitimate eui,iitv. the satisfying of
which might enable one te estimate the
result in her work of influence brought te
bear en her life ; but since she has tacitly
denied that, wc have no right te force our
selves into the inner sanctuary while she
lies helpless. The Sibyl, having given us
her books, vanishes, refusing te be ques
tioned. The inlluence of such a woman en the
thought, and action of her century and
these te come is almost incalculable, the
mere se because she has taken the method
of uttei ing what she had te say which is.
in the picsent age widest reaching and
most emphatic Wheie she might have
gained ten readcis for a philosophical
essay, thcie have been hundreds te every
novel, and each word has as plainly a
moral bent and put pose as any sermon
written professedly te afford right guid
ance. She is of high aud laie type of woman
hood, net after the pattern of these who
" warn and comfeit " from some innate
icligieus impulse, but one who, scciug the
interweaving and consequences of events.
guides her actions accordingly towards.
what she believes the best, conscious al
ways that one's feeble best may be ill
judged, but always risking failure for the
sake of the possible geed. Her intellect
ual breadth has shaped her life. There is
evidently no abnormal development of auy
ene faculty the exercise of which might
be called genius. She is cool and well
balanced, aud depicts a character se logi
cally and justly that it will bear analysis
as a perfect human frame lewards dissec
tion. The muselcs aud bones are all
theie, perfectly attached and adapted te
perfeim their functions. Thcie is net the
intensity, the "touch of fiie," which char
acteiizc what Chai lotto Brente did,
who, wc must needs be biire, wrote be
cause she felt and suffered ; but instead, a
constructive ability which is saved from
being cold by the fact that Geerge Eliet as
well as the author of "Jane Eyre" feels
intensely, though she is net conquered by
emotions. She is impartial, as the true
artist should be, and pictures Methodism
with as just a pen as that which writes
the calm conclusion in the life of Komola,
though the one cannot have her real sym
pathy, while the ether must have been the
outgiewth of her own experience. She
never speaks of her religious faith or its
absence, but is as well concealed by her
at ray of men and women as is Shakspearc
behind the scenes of his miniature stage.
Unlike a ccrtaiu class of doubters, she
does net deny, but affirms ; " passes ever
her belief or disbelief in miracle or reve
lation, but iu a thousand ways, tacit and
direct, urges compliance with a moral
law. Her theory of the moral life must be
the direct outgrowth of a positive philoso
phy. Like a practical scientist, she aspires
te say, "I knew,"' rather than "I believe,"
and from experience and study of the past
and present of mankind deduces rules for
the guidance of action. Such a ceuisc,
though ou a higher plane than bliud re
liance in the supernatural, has its own
peculiar hardships aud penis ; but before
wc hastily judge that te threw aside cer
tain articles of common belief and te err
against society's usage implies a laxity of
morals, let us consider the perplexity in
volved by dependence en eue's own rea
son, and decide whether a thinker would
cheese te become se his own guide, if net
forced te be for conscience' sake. It is
comparatively easy te fellow a straight
and narrow path while we dream there is
no alternative but ene which leads' te de
struction ; but there must come a time te
every determined investigator of the phil
osophy of life whcufaithandkuewledgcfail
and he is absolutely bewildered at the laby
rinth of channels his action" might take
and the manifold results which would fol fel
low. Instead of declaring " There is ene
right and one wrong," he sees a dozen
wrongs te fellow an impulsive action, aud
right becomes a very Proteus, chang
ing its form at every turn. If Christian
self-sacrifice or Mohammedan Islam con
tained the extremes of geed, then what
ever was desirable for one's self could be
resigned for what seemed best for ethers ;
but thought proneuuecs the decision, "you
have no right te cripple your own life. Be
just te yeursfllf, or you will be unjust te
some one else te whom your inlluence
must extend." The Christian lives se
cure in his hope beyond the grave, but the
man who depcuds only ou reason says rev
erently but none the less clearly, ' 'I am sure
of no life beyond the present. I sec no
analogy in jiaturc te a resurrection ei the
body ; one individual dies and another suc
ceeds, and though I believe matter te be
indestructible, and that- the vital force
which animates me will net die, I 'cannot
be sere that it will quicken my own being
again. It may pass into ether forms as
the matter of the universe evolves suns
and planets only te be received into the
primal mass again and evolve ethers. But
until I knew the great purpose of my being
and learu the supreme reason for suffering
and dying here, why should I wish an
added term of years or centuries ?" Te
de right with no hope of reward or fear of
punishment, net because a Ged wills it,
tmt because we judge it te be geed, and
therefore His will, is a high trreund for
humauity te take. It impresses us as
does the summing up in Spencer's " First
Principles," which leave us inspired by a
kind et spiritual exaltation, but neverthe
less bewildered, awed by the vastness of
creation and terrified at human responsi
bility. Dees such intellectual supremacy, such
calm reliance en reason, produce coldness
and lack of sympathy for the weak and
struggling? I believe net, but that it gives
rise te a liuer and mere complete under
standing of human needs. Any one who
has gene te the root of social and individ
ual evils has seen horrors, and probably
drained the very dregs of bitterness in
wondering whether there be a Ged ; and
he who, instead of despairing, ean say
calmly, "De right, because it is eternal,
inimitable and beautiful, and for the sake
of the coming generations who demand it
of you, " has. gained a higher plane than he
who, in a mistaken reverence, refrains
from all questioning.
The sympathy of such men and women
will net, perhaps, be hopeful and impul
sive. They knew that after a great con
vulsien or crisis iu life we de net, in the
manner of btery book heroes and heroines,
"live happy ever after," that virtue may
net be rewarded, and that te be geed is
net always te be happy. They can only
say, "I would help you if I could, but the
help lies only in yourself. I will show
you the consequences of right action and
penalty of sin. Cheese and live." Se
Geerge Eliet depicts a woman born beau
tiful and become selfish because every one
has bowed at her will, and allowed her te
spoil her life's happiness by her own act.
Gwendelen Harleth's girlhood and brief
married life is a moral drama in itself,
neeeding no epilogue te point the
lessen. Absolutely regardless of any
thing but attaining her own cuds,
and selfishly oblivious te the rights
of ethers, she walks into misery with
her eyes open, aud theu realizes that had
she net been untrue te herself the just
puuishreent would net have followed. Is
there the happiness iu steie for her de
manded by novel readers? Shall she
marry Dcienda, aud, taught wisdom by
her fiist mistake, become at once a differ
ent woman ? Ne such illogical and mirac
ulous conclusion takes place. Shu must
accept the consequences of having been
false te right, and has slowly ami pain
fully te adjust her life te its new purposes.
There was never a plainer exposition of
reaping what is sewn. And of Tite ene
cau only think with pity and wonder. His
temperament was bright aud joyous, akin
te every pleasant inlluence of tature, but
became perverted te base uses by one
false step which brought a host of evils
in its traiu. The demand of the
moment decided his acts; no stern
command of duty ever forced him into
an unplcasaut path. He was a creatine of
circumbtmcc, and when they proved un
kind and fortune left him te shift for him
self, he had no fortitude te oppose te her
iudiflerence, but assumed a double armor
of cunning instead. With a moral purpose
stronger than the desire of weildly case
and prosperity, he might have developed
into a splendid creature. Lacking only
that, he earns our contempt. Dorethea's
career is the story of a struggle for
the highest geed iu some unknown feim.
She longs for an ideal life, and sees no
way open but that of dispensing charity
te English laborers. She has no special
talents and is sufficiently humble iu net
assumiug herself te be a "woman born
with a mission, but stili the uvcry-day
round of dinner-parties and commonplaces
docs net content her. Her temperament
was cast in the heroic mould which forms
saints and martyrs, imbued, tee, with
a dash of unreasoning enthusiasm. I
de net knew whether Dorethea had
much of the hard, practical reserve
force called common senie, perhaps she
had net : but one could conceive of her
preaching an impracticable crusade, and
yet making it a weithy thing from its
motive and self-forgetful zeal. It is true
that her theories led her into a mistake
which a woman witli her eyes open te
worldly ndvautagc, or mere insight into
character, might never have made ; but it
only changed the current of her life, net
its purpose, and opened new channels te it.
The end of it all is, net that she renounces
her high iaith aud efforts in learning hew
useless they have been, but that the same
influence is still excited, though
iu unseen and less ambitious ways than
these she would ence have chosen. It is
the reiteration of the old story of the
influence of one human life en the rest of
mankind the aid of one atom in shaping
the crystal. Ne one wishes fr the mo
ment that Dorethea could have written a
poem, or painted a picture, or have satis
lied her youthful ambition in any excep
tional manner. Se long as she carries the
same aspirations towards the ideal into
her simple, everyday life, we are satisfied
that she will fulfil the premise of her
large heart aud nature. In "The Mill en
the Fless" one of the saddest books ever
written is evidenced the renunciation of
happiucss for duty, if circumstances de
mand a choice.
Maggie would net marry Stephen Guest
because she would net allow his faith once
given te her cousin te be broken. Ne rea
soning, no levers' certainty that they two
belonged te each ether, could overcome
her belief that it -would be impossible te
be honorably happy, having cast broken
vows behind them.
When she resisted his passionate plead
ings it was as pure and almost superhuman
a moral victory as when Jane Eyre, pity
ing, loving and condoning his deception of
her, ceultf leave Rochester and go out into
the world alone for reverence of a marriage
bend which her feebler self mi.ht have
argued had ceased te exist.
When poet or novelist depicts a man or
woman who can be true te preconceived
ideals in storms like these, which shake ;
reason te its very centre, it is as great a
work as te chisel a marble Apelle trium
phant in intellect and beauty. After all,
it is net deeds, but the motives actuating
them, which either make them great men
or rank them ameng1 souls of smaller
mould. In estimating the worth of
Geerge Eliet's life, the best test is that of
considering whether her work was done as
the mere exercise and proof of intellectual
greatness, or from the detire of contribut
ing something toward the common meas
ure of.geod. There is much te compel ad
miratien and even homage in the creative
force of genius, which'.inspired by a divine
energy.-works because it must; but a
divine light 'still emanates from what is
doncTfer the purpose of serving humanity
in lending the "poet's individualism" te
refine and leaven coarse and practical
needs of every-day life.
And is there net, in .everything Geerge
Eliet has written, a severe insistance ou
the ., sacrifice of all things te the right ?
.Her finest characters, these which de
light us most by their artistic beauty and
completeness, are distinguished by a sim sim
ple integrity, a pure rectitude and high
pnrpese ; and though the surroundings in
which she places them are seldom happy,
we can neither criticise nor complain it is
the faithful reflection of the inevitable
sadness of life, saved, however, from bar
ren hopelessness by the equally inevitable
reward of right action. Fer Geerge Eliet's
reward of virtue is net the orthodox idea
of happiness, but an actual compensation
in the soul's increased strength and
growth ; te have done one geed deed is
better preparation for another, and such
an adding et strength te strength, such
exercise of the soul in the great gymnas
ium of the world, is the highest moral
life.
Let her own lips speak for her in the
conclusion of the train of elevated
thought which runs through the story of
"Romela."
" It is only a peer sort of happiness that
could ever come by caring very much
about our own narrow pleasures. We
can only have the highest happiness, such
as gees along with being a great man, by
having wide thoughts and much feeling
for the rest of the world as well as our
selves ; and this sort of happiness often
brings se much pain with 'it that we can
only tell it from pain by its being what we
would cheese before everything else, be
cause our souls see it is geed.
"There are se many things wrong and
difficult in the world that no man can be
great he can hardly keep himself from
wickedness unless he gives up thinking
much about pleasures or rewards, and
gets strength te endure what is hard and
painful. And se, if Vu mean te act
nobly, and seek te knew the best things
Ged has put within reach of men. yen
must learn te fix your mind en that end
and net en what will happen te you be
cause of it."

The reports published simultaneously in
certain papers bearing date Berry ville. Va.,
and giving the minutest details of a terri
ble disaster te the village of Paris, in Fau
quier county, Va., during the recent snow
storm, created quile an excitement at
Richmond and elsewhere throughout the
state. These accounts related that the
entire village of Paris was buried in snow,
that several persons had been literally
frozen te death, that as many as fifty per
sons were suffering in a hospital from frost
bites, several amputations of limbs having
been rendered necessary, and that the
greatest destitution en account of
the scarcity of previsions and fuel
was imminent. The villagers bad
tunnelled passages from habitation
te habitation, a committee had been ap
pointed te take charge of all previsions
and fuel, and one man named Cooper, at
the risk of his life, had undertaken te go
te Berry ville te obtain relief for the suffer
ers. This man, after two days of great
suffering and fatigue, succumbed te the
effects of the severe weather, just before
he reached his destination, but was fortu
nately discovered bv a citizen of Bcrryville
in a half frozen condition and happily re
stored te consciousness. It is from Cooper
that the authors of the calamity arc sup
posed te have gotten their information.
Naturally enough this thrilling story,
which bore all the impress of truth, evoked
from the people the strongest expres
sion of sympathy for the unfortunate vil
lagers, and measures of relief were about
te be instituted by several benevolently
disposed persons.
Telegrams, however, were sent asking
for information of the real condition of
the people, but owing te the heavy sleet of
the past few days the wires in numerous
places were down, and no answers could
be received. This caused additional un
easiness, and the anxiety en account of the
snow-buried people increased. At last,
answers were received which at once
allayed the fears of everybody regarding
the safety of the villagers of Paris and
gave rise te expressions of surprise and
net a little indignation. The first reply
was from Dclaplane, the telegraph office
nearest te Paris, and was as fellows :
" Ne truth in the report. Ne ene frozen
aud no suffering. Snow badly drifted
around Paris, but a path new opened."'
The next despatch came from from Bcr
ryvillc, the place whence the news of the
calamity is supposed te have emanated.
It is as fellows :
" Your telegram just received. Paris is
net buried in snow. There are heavy
drifts south and cast of that place. Ne
ene frozen te death. There is some scarc
ity of fuel ; otherwise no destitution of
which I can learn.''
Siece the rcceptieu of the telegram the
published reports are regarded as the
most extraordinary newspaper canards
that have recently appeared.
When a man et family finds himself attacked
hy a violent cold, it is his tuty te relieve the
anxiety et his wife and child ran and seek a
remedy immediately. Dr. Hull's Cough Syrup
costs only 23 cent it bottle and a few doses
will give instant relief.
