Take out of the history of the race the
battles to be fought, the achievements
of thought, the martyrdoms to be suf
fered, the work to be done, and what is
there left? "Society!" Nothing! Let
idle loafers, the froth and the dregs,
take note, the day of humanity dawns!
Class must perish, man be glorified!
Yes, man, whose inhumanity to man
has made countless thousands mourn,
will yet come forth purified by suffer
ing. Y'es. man, that "jiendulum twixt s
smile and a tear," will yet live to see
tears turned to smiles upon the faces of
a nobler race! For the Son of man will
yet come in Lis glory!
A Chance to Make a Million.
Five years ago a Rus-ian princess who
died in this city left by will $1,000,000 to
the person who would consent to remain
for the space of one year in the chapel
which is erected over her tomb in the
cemetery of Pere Lachaise. The prin
cess lies in a crystal coffin. Thus the
whole body is distinctly visible, and this
is what causes so much fright to all wko
have as yet attempted to gain the prize.
But the will forbids all visitors. The
candidate must be alone with the dead
for a whole year before the $1,000,000 is
won. No work is allowed. Books and
newspapers, however, are permitted, and
a servant brings meals regularly to the
watcher. One hour's walk a day is al
lowed, but this must be undertaken be
fore 5 o'clock in the morning in summer
and 8 o'clock during the winter months.
