Dreaming and Genius.
I believe that the person who ia incapable of dreaming will never do anything above the treadmill work thatyfeeds the body. Dream ing is characteristics of early manhood and womanhood. And the more and tha higher tbo dreams the greater and more prophetio the life of the individual. But there comes a time when the need of action sifts the dreamers and divides them into two olasses ; the class who attempt to actualize their dreams and the class who die dreamers. H« whose life reats on that constantly unfolding and deathless energy we call push, may dream as much and aa long as he pleases, and he will make his dreams realities. These are the dreamers who move the world. The other olaafl are abortions. They sink back into the nothingness from whence they should have emerged, and die amidat their dreams. But dreams themselves are evidences of genius whether the dreamer ever moves a hand to actualize them or not.—Helen Wihnana in Woman's JVorht.
