A Female Philosopher from Concord.

Chicago Intor-Ocean. A young lady on the Wes-t Side has just returned from Boston. While there her uncle, who is a reporter on a sporting paper, took her to the Summer School of Philosophy at Concord. She heard some one read an essay'on, „Tbe absoluteness ot absolutism,” and became infatuated with the doctrine taught. “Chawies,” said she to her lover the other evening (he is a clerk in a harness store)—“Chawies, do you realize that you cannot differentiate the indissoluble absoluteness of the absolute?” “No!” he replied, “to tell the truth, I don’t,” and, as it was the first time he had seen her since she got back, the suggestion struck him with alarm. “Do you ever stop to inquire,” she began again, “into the incohation or the rudimentary incipience of the rhapsodical coagmentation of your thoughts of love?” “Well, not to speak of,” he said. “Then, if there is one drop blood in your heart that pulsates for me; if there is one conceit, nuoscopic or psycologicai, that in the.incogitancy of your dreams, or in the perquisition of year waking hours, absorbs a thought of me, I beg that you would eliminate any abstruse or tqui vocal particles of distrust from the profound and alltranspic:: .us abnormality of your love.” “Great heavens, Maria, have you Bwallo wed a dictionary ?” “No, I have not,” she said with a stern and forbidding look of displeasure. “I have been to the School of Phdosophy at Concord.” 1 .
