ON BEING ALIVE.

VISIONS OF MAN’S POWER. I “If there is any living man who can say, in the face of the living world around h, ! m, that he does not believe in the irresistible, enabling, marvelions certainty of Life, he can be left to his own devices,” writes M,r Robert Keable, the novelist, in, probably the last article be ever wrote, which appears ip the “Atlantic Monthly.” It does ,not n the least matter that Life is inexplicable and incompresensible. The fact is. that the more a man is alive the more he knows that he’s alive. The more he thinks and reads, the more he is struck by the achievc'ments of Life oh the earth. The, higher he lifts his head' and the clearer he looks out 'on. things as they are, the more he is conscious of the miraculous powers: within, him. The baby in the cradle has always seemed to those standing by to be in the possession of wonderful possibilities, possibly an Alexander the Great or a Julius Caesar. But what of the baby in the cradle to-day ? It is actually poissible that he may, ultmately, be conversing wltlh intelligences «’n the stars, or, passing through the door that Ein;stein has pushed ajar.”
