POETIC JUSTICE A PENALTY.

IK THHS raONY OP FATR IT FIXES REWARDS AND PUNISHMENTS*

■•man Justice As a Role Does Not Satisfy the Sense of Fitness — In

Poetle Jastlce the Reward Or Penalty Is Wrapped Ip.

Denver Republican. The Rev. Myron Reed preached on ••Pdetlc Justice,” Sunday morning at the Broadway Theater. His text was “So they hanged Haman on the gallows that lie had prepared for Mordecal.” Esther, vii, 10. He said: Herbert Spencer, In hts book, “Education,” Insist, that right rerwards must have an artistic relation to conduct, and that payment, to be satisfactory, must be made In kind. If a child unloads his Noah’s ark on the parlor floor and does not assemble the passengers again, but goes off and leaves them, what shall the penalty of this offense against order be? Switch the child and tell the servant to clear up the litter and set the room to rights? Oh, r>o; do not switch the child, nor call the servant; simply make the child undo what he has done; gather up the wreckage, put ths animals back into the ark. The natural result, or penalty, if yon please, of putting a linger in the flame of a lamp is a burned finger. Do not put the lamp in a cage nor stake out the baby away from It. I vet him burn his Anger v mildly once or twice. The old question: ”Why does God not kill the devil?” needs to be well thought os. Man finds himself in a world where mountain lions and silver-tipped bears ere loose. Nothing is in a cage. Man must )e«rn to take care of himself. He must master the things that are against him and tame them. He must rally his brains and his genius. There is often no other reward for doing a thing than that which lies in the doing. Daniel Boone carves in the bark of a tree the history of a fact: "Daniel Boone killed a ‘bar,’ ” and thinks more of himself. That thought and the worth of a dead bear for food and clothing and hair oil constitute his reward. Any premium paid by the State is Impertinent and vulgar and not poetic. The penalty for failure in any battle Is failure—that is penalty bitter enough. The punishments Inflicted by the State seem to be arbitrary and capricious, even whimsical. Of people now in prison convicted of similar crimes, one is serving a sentence of five years, another of fifteen, and another of two. Some Judges are always severe, some are always mild, and some are severe sometimes and sometimes mild. I would not like to be sentenced by a hungry Judge, or by one dyspeptic, or by one who was about to have a tooth pulled. In some conditions of public opinion It is unsafe to commit a crime. Human Justice as a rule does not satisfy the sense of fltntss, the sense of proportion —of symmetry. There are exceptions. There 4s more Justice than we lightly think. Jesus sees the Pharisees praying long and loud on the street corners, and He says, “Verily they have their reward.” They do. Their prayers do not rise any higher than their teeth. They pray to le seen of men. and they are seen of men. They get what they work for. It would be strange if Jesus Christ should complain toward the end that He had made no money. He had worked for other wages, and He was being paid, not in full, but on account. He had a great ileal of property in the people He had helped. He neld people as men hold land, by virtue of His improvements. The Peter He made was no more like the Peter He found than the town of Greeley this week is like the Greeley of 1870. Jesus Christ put a new heart into men and a new face on them—gave men and woni vi an upward look. So far as He works on /us We are His property. Always His. Rla wages Is the world He Is working on. Every summer there Is less cactus and more wheat, and fewer snakes, fewer birds and beasts of prey. It would be strange If a railroad wrecker and multi-millionaire should complarn that he Is not loved. Strange that bis ghost should complain. The man did not •work for love. He worked for a shortlived power, and has been paid in fulD Bacon says God tries a man every Way to gee if there is anything in him and, failfog, tosses him a saok of gold and three words: “do, poor deviL” I do not suppose the richest man in iAmerica is to be envied even by a man asking permission to screen sand for a living, If they both have read Henry Uoyd’s book, “Wealth vs. Commonwealth/' I am reading the book a seco id time to see if I had in any way misjudged these powerful, living, unsentenced crim-

inals.

Jt Is said that these men do not care; they are not sensitive. Well, what Is that lack of feeling a sign of? There is nothing to be Jolly about In the fact that you do not feel a ten-penny nail driven into your neck. It is something sf a penalty to be dead. People will cross a continent to get life Into a dead wrist. Selfishness is •Imply deadness. The still heart govs to sleep like a cramped leg. Some one whorq 1 can not place by name left at my house the past week some books by Henry D. Thoreau that I had not seen. I opened one of them on this: “We do not commonly live our life ou{ end full, we do not inspire and expire fully and entirely enough, so that the ■wave shall break upon our extremest shores, rolling till It meets the sand which bounds us, and the sound of the surf comes back to us. Why not let on the food, raise the gates and set all cur wheels in motion?"—which Is Thoreau's brief but full sermon on the text of his Master: “I am come that ye might have life, and that more abundantly.” The “Bonnie Briar bush can be made to gr*w In Denver perhaps as readily as in a parish of Scotland. It needs much attention. We must go out of ourselves for the sake of that kind of a plant. Rewards and penalties are seen to be consequential results. Here Is ail this costly machinery of sheriffs, and courts, and Jails that a man may be punished. Good people do not need this machinery, and powerful or cunning bad people evade its actions, "shove by Justice." Now, in contrast to this arbitrary method that falls so often, constdsr the natural couree of things in the case of Judas. Frr-m the crime to the hanging of the criminal, Judas attended to his own case, was his .own sheriff, and Jury, and Judge end hangman. He spun hie own rope andwove his own shroud. Justice was done

Inexpensively, swiftly, surely. And the hrhole thing satisfies not only the man but the artist. He was not fit to live

here, so

Pel

i

ere, so took himself. In the phrase of ter, “He went to hie own place," the ugeniol harbor of liars and betrayers, here Is satisfaction in seeing Haman e carpenter of his own gailowa. It is a slice of the day of Judgment.” Cain was not permitted to kill him-

self. and a mark was put on him, that ho man should kill him. He was simply iorned loose, feeling that he ought tq be killed. No wonder the lonely vagabond Said: "Mr punishment Is greater than I can bear/ 1 He had not done much of anything, only killed hi* brother tn a aavAge. sudden way.- The way we are familiar with is slower, more civilised. It is not counted much of a misdemeanor to wreck a man’s buainew, to shut him from the means of living, to make him a wanderer on the face of the earth, and Cain and Judaa were not as bad. as possible. They were alive, they cared, they sensed the situation. To do similar things, and not to care, te the lowest state in the Imagination of Dante, of whom the children said: "There is a man who has been

tn hell.”

The penalties we annex to evil-doers and the rewards we assign to the good often seem to be tacked on, not consequential results, and give the impression of cut flowers wired on a stiok. A man le injured in hie reputation in the thought of his neighbors of him. And perhaps the court will give him money that swells his puree, but does not mend hts hurt. How can "the Jingle of the guinea help the hurt that honor feels?” There I* that-which la admirable tir*the poor white of East Tennessee and Georgia. He. is a "cracker.” 4gnorant and ■’pere," but you can not settle every offense against him or hts family with money. Fqr one offense he will either forgive you dr kill you. He is self-respecting enough to know no compromise, and generally not Christian enough to forgive. I have thought a good deal of the repentance of old Sam Johnson. He had in some Willful, inexcusable way, disobeyed his reasonable father. Fifty years after he went into the market place of Uttossttw and stood bareheaded all day* and,

as Hawthorne words it: “A ventrabl--figure, and turns a face sad and woefu. to the wind and the rain driving hun aguinst him.” The market men and children gazed at him. "Here the old mar stands in the middle of the market place, the midmost man, the nucleus of th<crowd, a central Image of memory and regret. Here he stands, and the rain drips from the gray hair of the peni-

tent.”

In some states of the modern mind this may seem a useless, ridiculous picture, hut Just now It reminds me of Zaccheus He was converted, soundly converted. It cost him something. He stood and said: “The haif of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation I restore him four-fold.” That k ? nd of conversion would Justify “ a protracted meeting” even tn the busy season. Zaccheus was alive and the pee pie he had fleeced were alivo. He did something about it. Sam Johnson also did something, all he oould do. His father was dead. Visit Newstead Abbey, the home of Dord Byron, and look at the picture of lx>rd Arundel, Byron’s grandfather. In a moraen-t of passion he struck his child, and the blow slowly killed the child. Then the old man hod a painting made and hung it in the gallery in a good light that men might see while he lived and When he was dead what he had done. Matthew Arnold looked at the picture and copied it in words. “Tbe stern, mailed father, staff in band: The little fair-haired son with vacant

gaze,

Where no more lights of sense or knowl-

edge are.”

That a boy fishing on Sunday happens to be drowned may in a ghastly way adorn a tale, but it does not point the old-fashioned moral. Drowning is not the proper penalty for fishing on Sunday. It Is often the result of not knowing how to swim, or possibly cramps. In a world where fire insurance of churches, orthodox and liberal, is carefully attended to, any fantastic assign-

ment of penalties must cease.

A missionary to the Chippewa Indians in northern Wisconsin told them that if they planted com on Sunday it would not yield a harvest, and they perversely proceeded to test his wisdom. They planted an acre on Sunday, hoed it on Sunday, worked on It on no day except Sunday, and in August it was the best acre of Corn on the reservation.

The missionary resigned.

There is, however, a penalty for working seven days in a week. The' crop may not fail, but the man will. Instead of drowning a Sunday-breaker in a river, how would it do to drown him in incessant business? Drown him body and mind and heart in that. A six weeks’ meeting in the winter, working up a revival, is a poor device of men to make good Sundays not kept in the summer. Tbs Sabbath was made for man for his rest, for his reinforcement. Change is 9ne reads with interest of the new a'manac and the revised and corrected calendar of Robespierre introduced in the earlier days of the French revolution. There was a new protempore Deity elected by the people. A painted demoiselle from the opera with a red woolen night cap and blue mantle and eating mackerel, was elected. There was a new motto over the cemetery gate. There was a week, of ten days. But soon the man who made these amendments got sick of the v/ay they woriced. And It was not long before Robespierre made the convention formally decree the existence of “the supreme being,” and also “the consolatory principle of the Immortality of the soul.” It was not long before Robespierre had had himself amended by having hiu head chopped off. Are not these and things like them written in Carlyle’s

great book?

The real laws we find; we do not make them. The real rewards and penalties are fixed. Every plant brings forth Its own kind. An astronomer thought that If he had been present and had a voice at creation he could have suggested a tetter arrangement of the machinery of the moon. Afterward with a bettef glass he discovered that his suggestion had teen received and accepted and acted on before the stars sang together the first

time.

Tn poetic justice the reward or penalty is wrapped up, folded in the action. It 13 there and getting ready and will in due time appear. David Livingston has his wages and Stanley has his. There is something In the century plant. After many years of homely cactus there shoots up a spike of splendor, the blossoms are manifold. Nothing pays like patience. Afler a life of faithful monotonous toll there will surely be something that is not toll and not monotonous.It has been said of some preachers that they deal only with "the sorghum side of Christianity.” It is too sweet to be t^ue. I am making an effort to-day .to squeeze In the necessary acid. David speaks of the follies of his youth. It Is curious how one is not done with these at his pleasure. They are not done with “him. He can not cut them as perhaps he can the comrade* of his youth. I have seen photographs and linotypes taken of my friends along in ’61 and ’62. Gn the day of the first commission, perhaps, the day of new uniform, and the first shoulder strap. The latter was the biggest in the market. I see again the fierce eye and the feeble mustache, "grim-visaged war/.’ aged twenty. Now one would like to call In some old photographs. But It may not be. They are iu the hands of our friends, fast in old albums, yellow as the sheet music of “Loren*." They are much giggled over. T know where is oqe of an ex-President of the United States, ex-good soldier, too, ♦ hat is worth more than gold. Vainly he has begged to ransom it. Vanity Is quite iead in him now, but Justice requires that which is past. That Is the way he felt and looked in ’61. There is one of mine around somewhere that I,should be inexpressibly glad to steal. There is n\uch advantage in moving away from the place where one was a young thing. Dignity In a new town has an easier and surer seat. You can’t be much of an aristocrat where you have done manual labor. Vain is the exhortation of Hawthorne, "Be true, be true, be true." For all men it is too late not, however, for any too late to begin. In "The Scarlet Letter" we sense the compelling power which makes the respected minister of the parish take bis (fiaoe on the scaffold beside Hester Prynne and little Pearl. The power Is no fiction. It works in all people who are

alive.

Men are naturally honest. The truth lies uppermost In the mind. It Is easier to lie with the pep and paper than extempore and off-hand. In extempore speech the top thought Is handiest. You can write a thing ao as not to say it, or to say tt otherwise than it is. The conversation of jealous nations Is by letters carefully considered. The Tallyrand talent of using words to conceal thoughts is in demand tn any conversation between powerful nations. To succeed nearly and finally in lying presupposes a genius that a liar seldom possesses. The truth-teller has only to remember one thing. The liar has to remember two things. The thing as it is and the thing as he tells It. ^t is just double the labor. Any kind of a transgressor has too many things to remember. The set of things is ag&inat him. There Is an untimely knocking at the i door that Is hard on the nerves of Macbeth and his wife. “Hear It not. Duncan?" An Apache trailer can see a track on bare rock. The pressure of a foot in a moccasin does not leave a stone as it found it; the difference marks the trail. The exchange of foils In the play of

Hamlet in destiny. There is no human purpose in It. In the scuffle ot the fencers they are exchanged and I.aeries takes a dose of his own medicine, and somehow the queen blunders and drinks trout the poisoned cup. Of the four who di. two die by a wtdl-arrai.ced ac idem, i »f the four who die three ought to dofor their sins anil the fourth ought to die because his errand is done. Horatio lives, and ought to live to report the thing as It was. It does not lessen the force of this that it Is found in Shakespeare. He holds the mirror up to nature, and what we see in the play tve may see in life, or will see when the play is played out. Shakespeare. Uncle Remus, Aesop. George Eliot, Hawthorne and life are one. You know how Martin Karquhar Tupper sinned against the muse. He wrote an ode to the first Atlantic cable and the cable broke. It could not stand the strain. Ami vou know the screaming rhetoric of the Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage. Justice was very slow in the case of these two sinners, but she arrived. It was made to happen that Tupper crossed the sea, and was for a fortnight the guest of Talmage. That is satisfactory. Tupper read his poetry to Talmage and Talmage read his sermons to Tupper. And the world said, "It is enough.” The mills of god grind! slowly, but they grind exceeding small. I have never heard of a plan better arranged or thought out than the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The horse was at the door, the country was wide. The friends of Booth were intelligent. A boat was standing off and on to take him if there was need, into the trackless ocean. But in four days he was dead. It was ar* ranged th-at in springing from the President’s box to the stage he should tangle his spur in a fold of the flag that draped the box. The flag he was trying to pull down, nulled him down, pulled him down the right angle to break a bone in his le£ that one needs to ride with. The actor wnose part is was to turn off the gas, forgot his part. The play did not move as smoothly as at rehearsal. It was a night of blunders; men who ought to have been in place failed. At the death of Gen. Robert E. Lee, the great soldier and man. New Orleans went into mourning, as well she might. The business streets were somber with crape. Especially mournful was a certain bookstore on St. Charles street. In front of this was a great globe representing the earth, such as may be seen in our schools* This was in crape, but the wind blew and the drapery had been ruffled. I saw that all the round earth was in mourning: America, North and South, Europe, Asia, the islands of the set, all in crape except Africa. The wind had lifted the crape. Ethiopia was not inmourning, but shining in the sun. I called the attention of the proprietor of the store to this, and he at once rearranged the drapery or-woe. From w’hat I h-ave said there will come a suggestion and I hope a conviction that this short creed of Harriet Beecher Stowe is as true as it is short. She says: “What ought to be will be.” It is not at -all doubtful that we shall finally go to the place and the company where w'e belong The future for us Is the sum total of our actions, and thoughts ure actions. There will be no arbitrary sleight of hSnd assignment; character seems to be destiny. Serene I fold my hands and wait. Nor care for wind or tide or sea; I rave no more ’gainst time or fate, For, lo! my own shall come to me. I stay my haste, I make delays, For what avails this eager pace? I stand amid the eternal ways, And what is mine shall know my face. Asleep, awake, .by night or day. The friends I seek are seeking me; No wind can drive my bark astray, Nor change the wind of destiny. What matter if I stand' alone? I wait with joy the coming years; My heart shall reap where it has sown, And garner up its fruit of tears. The stars come nightly to the sky, The tidal wave unto the sea; Nor time nor space nor deep nor high Can keep my own away from me. SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The education of a modem girl in the smart set involves an array of figures that would mean an independent fortune to the average professional man. The education that satisfied our stately grandmothers—reading, writing and arithmetic, a few tottering accomplishments, a sufficient knowledge of French to puzzle out a sentimental novel, and an ability to darn neatly and fashion both life and garments after one fixed pattern—has all vanished into the past, together with the dear old lady's obsolete theories that it was ladylike to lac© her waist,' pinch her

must be taken two afternoons in the week j to some fashionable gymnasium, where she is taught—for the really moderate sum of $50 per season—to use dumbbells and winds, how to swing from ring to ring and to balance on bars, as well as a variety of head and throat movements and graceful fancy stops, until every portion of her little body is evenly developed and

made strong and flexible.

Nine-tenths of all the girls who attend the swell city schools are taught to feel that thair riding lessons are cn essential feature of their education, as much so as music or mathematics. And less«3ns at these academies from a competent instructor, usually a lady, rareiy cost less than $3 a lesson, wdth an additional expense Of $2 for the use of a well-trained horse.

up for two seasons, and the riding In the park wnth a teacher often continues for a third dnd fckinh year, making a net expense for this accomplishment alone of

nearly $2,000.]

Of course <he properly trained child also drives, rows! and swims, but, as a rule, these outdoor sports are acquired and practiced at! the country home, under the guidance olf either father or brother, which limits] the expense in this case to the price ofl a pet pony, a dog-cart and light boat, costing, perhaps. $500, although $1,000 can bej expended if the income still

continues to be burdensome.

Fruit Iu Glnaa. A new vacuum process of canning fruits In glass has lately been Introduced from Europe among the packers of the Pacific coast. All the deleterious gases generated in cooking the fruit, and even the air, are extracted under this new process, so that fermentation is reduced to a minimum. No Bolder is used, and each jar is opened by making a puncture with a penknife, after which the cover can be l.fted off entire. The fruit is solid-packed. In this way there Is a saving of freight charges. Formerly the use of resin, acid, solder and hot Iron scorched the sirup, and since the aper’ure in the top of the tin cans were so small that the fruit was often crushed and cut when be.ng placed in the cans, the sirup was for this reason cloudy. Possibilities In the Electrical Fu- * tare. A correspondent in the Syracuse Standard, signing himself “A Dreamer,” says: "Many trained electricians are working to give the world a cheap and practical storage battery. The moment this Is accomplished what possibilities are before us! Fancy a modem-sized windmill in or, on the rear of one’s house, when the air is in motion, hour by hour making and storing up the subtlfe fluid to be drawn on at pleasure. Nothing Is too novel to be expected, or at least .be possible, and that which to-day provokes our laughter a decade from now may be part of our everyday Lfp. As I have often said, It is one of'my chief regrets tjiat I could not have come on earth one generation later." The Rnnner’s Reaction Time. In running sprint races it Is very im(portant to save even the fifth of a second. It has been proved by experiment that the time which elapses between the firing of the starter’s pistol and the actual starting of the runner is long enough to influence the winning of a race. This is the runner’s reaction t;me. An arrangement for measuring a runner’s reaction time down to the thousandth of a second has been contrived in the Yale laboratory. The starter’s pistol is arranged so that an electric contact is broken when the pistol goes off. A thread is attached to the right foot of the runner. This thread breaks an electric con‘act the moment the runner starts. Each of these electric contacts makes a spark on a smoked cylinder in such a way that the time which has elapsed between the first contact and the second can be measured. Electric Railroad Statistics. President G. Tracy Rogers, of the New York Street Railway Association, in his address before the annual meeting of that body, In Albany, on tha 17th instant, gave some exceedingly interesting statistics, showing the great magnitude of the electric railway interests in this State. There are about 1,400 miles of track In the State, and an Investment of upward of $200,000,000 in electric railway property. These railways carry in one year over 500,000,000 of people, about seven times the population of the entire United States, and over one-third of that of the world. The gross receipts from this street railroad traffic are about $26,000,000 per annum. Speaking of the number of persons carried on these roads, it is Interesting to compare this traffic with that on the steam roads in the State. The latter, according to Mr. Rogers, carry but 160,000,000 passengers—• little less than one-third of the number carried over electric lines. When it is considered that it Is scarcely a dosen years since the first electric railroad was opened, the growth of the industry in this one State alone is indeed marvelous.—Electric Age. ~~ Be Knew] Puck.
