WHAT IS GOOD?

,“What is the real good?” I asked in musing mood. Order, said the law court; Knowledge, said the Truth, said the-wise man; Pleasure,, said the fool; Love, said the maiden; Beauty, said the page; Freedom, said the dreamer. _Home, said the sage; Fame, said the soldier; Equity, the seer, Spake my heart full sadly, “The answyer is not here.” Then within my bosom Softly this I heard: “Each heart holds the secret; Kindness is the word/' —John Boyle O'Reilly.
