The Magic Was In The Words

There is an ancient legend which tells us that when a man first achieved a most notable deed he wished to explain to his tribe what he had done. As soon as he began to speak, however, he was smitten with dumbness, he lacked words, and sat down. Then there arose-according to the story-a masterless man, one who had taken no part in the action of his fellow, who had no special virtues, but afflicted-that is the phrase-with the magic of the necessary words. He saw, he told, he described the merits of the notable deed in such a fashion, we are assured, that the words "became alive and walked up and down in the hearts of all his hearers." Thereupon, the tribe seeing that the words were certainly alive, and fearing lest the man with the words would hand down untrue tales about them to their children, they took and killed him- But later they saw that the magic was in the words, not in the man.

Over The Hill

It ain't the gray in his hair that makes a man old, Nor that far-away stare in his eye, I'm told. But when the mind makes a contract the body can't fill, You're over the hill, brother, /o['re over the hill.

Invictus

By W.E. Henley

Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit, from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the Shade, And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.

Conviction brings a silent, indefinable beauty into faces made of the commonest human clay; the devout worshipper at any shrine reflects something of its golden glow, even as the glory of a noble woman shines like a sort of light from a woman's face.

-Balzac.

Adversity

Adversity is a medicine which people are rather fond of recommending inCiscriminately as a panacea for their neighbors. Like other medicines, it only agrees with certain constitutions. There are nerves which it braces, and nerves which it utterly shatters.-Justin McCarthy.

He Might Go Off

Greatly agitated, a woman carrying an infant dashed into a drug store.

"My baby has swallowed a bullet," she cried. "What shall I do?"

"Give him some castor oil," replied the druggist, calmly, "but be sure you don't point him at anyone."
