Among his works may be mentioned, ‘The House of the Seven Gables', ‘T/Ie Blithe dale R071m7we’ 211088149 from an old Illansfi and ‘T/Le fifarI/le Faun”. Nathaniel Hawthorne was never really understood or appreciated by his comtempor- aries. He kept aloof from the other authors and poets of his time. He has however found a warm place in the hearts of the American People; and his popularity is ever increasing. He was a man who, like so many others, are misunderstood and coldly looked upon while living, but praised and honored when dead. On receiving the news of his unexpected death at Plymouth in 1864, there was a mo- ments silence throughout the land. Long- fellow and Emerson exclaimed with self~ It took a But the bet“ ter he is known the more he is loved. reproach: "We knew him not.” lifetime to learn to know him. In his domestic life Hawthorne was ex- ceedingly happy. After his engagement to Sophia Peabody he Writes: “How little I knew! Until love moves our hearts our ex- istence is like a shadow in a dream. Not till then are we created.” After his funeral his wife writes: “Death can now rob me of aught else. God gave me the flower of the age that I, for twenty-five years might call it my own." The object and result of Hawthorne's work is best expressed in his own words: “Others could give them pleasure and amusement or instruction, but it was for me to give them Best.” SOME say that the age of chivalry is past. The age of chivalry is never past so long as we have faith enough to say, God will help me to redress that wrong; or if not me, he will help those that come after me, for his eternal Will is to overcome evil with good. — Charles Ifi'ngsley.

Show moreAUGSBURG ECHO 189 make such a vanishing impression is becauSe they are not translated into mental images. To most persons Alexander, Caesar, Charle- magne, Cromwell, Chaucer, Milton are little more than names. To the student of geography the advan~ tages of a clear imagination are inestimable. Without having seen with the eye he is able to picture in his mind the ice-fields of the ar- tic and the luxuriant foliage of the tropics; the vast fields of sand, heated by a burning sun; the snow capped mountains and beauti- ful lakes of Switzerland; the rugged coast of Norway with its deep flords; the cold, dreary. and desolate regions of Siberia, the beautiful scenery, immense forests and luxuriant vege< tation of the Amazon region; he is able to see the fields of waving grain in the Mississippi valley and the cottonfields of the South. Without leaving our study we may see pass- ing in review before our mental eye every na- tion and and race on earth. When a city, as for instance New Orleans or New York, is brought to mind we ought not, as is the case with so many, see only a black dot on the map at the mouth of the Mississippi or another somewhere on the At- lantic coast. Other images ought to appear before our mental eye. The Pleasure of the study of geography consists in being thus able to form pictures of places which we describe. Without this faculty, the study becomes a disagreeable afiair indeed. The same is true of almost every branch of study. But in the reading and study of literature more pleasure and profit may be obtained froma well cultivated imagination than in any other study. Reading a book or poem with- out being able to picture in our minds the scenes and incidents related, deprives us of most of the pleasure that might be had. We can not enjoy a story, we can not appreciate a book or poem unless our imagination is vivid enough to picture the scenes as they occured; if it is not, the reading will be dis- agreeably “dry”. What are most of the master pieces of our literature but the pro- duct of imagination? Unless our own imagination can follow that of the author in its flight, we can not appreciate his work. What beautiful, majestic images we see be- fore our mental eye in reading Milton’s ‘Parfldise Lost’. Shakespeare took the un- attractive, dry facts of history, and, by the use of his imagination. made them enjoyable and attractive, or created new pictures for us to see and enjoy. It has been well said, that Shakespeare breathes into a dead tale a crea- tor’s breath of life. The trial scene in ‘T/ze JIerc/Iant of Venice’, the chariot race in ‘Bcn Hur’ or Vm’h‘s’ are as vivid and clear to us as the battle of the scene in the arena in ~sz Marathon or Waterloo; yet the former are but the creation of imagination, while the “'e read VVhittiers ‘S/mu- Bun/Hr and we see scenes of home latter are stern realities. life and the New England winter as clearly before us as though it were painted on canvas. In the ‘PI’pr/x «It LNP/i'uml'. the scenes are as clear to us as though we were eye-witnesses. Robert Burns, while ploughing; saw his ploughshare turn under a mountain daisy; his imagination at once began to work and he gave the world an exquisite little poem. — But it is with the imagination as with any other human faculty, and probably more so from its very nature, that it is liable to abuse. Not to “speak of the low, mean uses to which it is so often put, the common practice of day dreaming or in other words castle-building, is both morally and physically unhealthful.

Success comes too slowly for them. Speculation and gambling become their pursuits; finally all their grand castles sink into oblivion, and their lives become ut- terly valueless in the world. We should never allow ourselves to build any imaginative castle, unless we are willing by hard effort to make it a reality. If we build any air-castles, let us also be willing to take up the hammer and chisel, go into the quarries of life and chisel out blocks of stone and with much toil build them into castle walls. WaMan/el fall/Marne. (T. G.) The “Mayflower” was not a large vessel. The passengers on board were not men and women that lay claim to any great distinction or honor in the world. They were humble, meek, pious men and women whose greatest desire was to find a spot in an unknown land where their consciences might be free, and where they might be at liberty to think and act as their own consciences dictated. They were a liberty loving, liberty seeking people. The cargo which the “Mayflower” 'carried safely accross the mad waves was one of the most precious ever intrusted to a vessel. It was no less than the foundation of our govern- ment. Those liberty-seeking Puritans carried with them that, which was to make the great- est and best people that the world had ever seen fi love of liberty. Nathaniel Hawthorne was born under a Puritan sky. thor. The first among Hawthornes American ancestors came from Wales in 1630, to- gether with John Winthrop. Thus if a man when his ancestry He became the Puritans au- is an American reaches back five or six generations on Amer- ican soil, Hawthorne was a true American. AUGSBURG EKKO He was born on a day and at a place that must be considered most fitting for an Amer- ican author, on the 4th of July, at Salem, Mass. shy, sensitive child, who found his greatest delight in solitude, a trait he inherited from his Puritan ancestors. He was fond of roam- ing about in the woods or by the sea. It was not seldom he would play truant to go on a hunting or fishing excursion. Young Hawthorne was by nature :1 His teacher, noticing this, was of the opinion that Haw- thorne had been led astray by his older com. panions. Hawthorne felt greatly insulted and assured his mother that he would do the same thing at the first opportunity ofiered in order to make it understood that he did so of his own free will. His youth was thus passed in a free and wholesome Way. Hawthorne was by nature endowed with that gift which has made so many great men — love of books and fondness of reading. He read everything he could lay hand on. He also edited a little weekly paper and wrote some poor verses while at college. His ge- nius matured slowly, but he was never in doubt as to his calling. He wrote to his mother: “I will not be a doctor, as I must then live other peoples” diseases; not a lawyer, to live upon their quarrels; upon neither a minister, to live upon their sins. For me there is nothing left but to be an au- thor”. cation, and with it, fame. The lonely student had found his vo- Spaee does not permit going into detail concerning his many and well known works. To one interested in literature they are well worth the time spent in reading them. Hawthorne himself lived in a shadow, so there is also a shadow resting over his works. Some dark hidden mystery, some crime com-. mitted in the past, which spreads its gloom over the times which follow. Hawthorne does not portray the sin itself, but he analyses its results. In his most noted book ‘The Scarlet Letter’ he shows himself in possession of an imagination and a fancy, which is hardly ex- celled even by a Bunyan or a Milton. Show less

Yet. vainly in my quiet hours To breathe their marvellous notes I try; I feel them, as the leaves and flowers In silence feel the dewy showers, And drink with glad still lips the blessing of the sky. The rigor of a frozen clime The harshness of an untaught ear, The jarring words of one whose rhyme Beat often Labor’s hurried time, Or Duty’s rugged march through storm and strife, are here. —Jolm IV/zz‘ttier.

G.) or all the faculties which an omniscient God has intrusted to man for his use, not least profit and pleasure may be obtained from the use and culture of the imagination. It has been said that the imagination is the window of the soul, the eye through which the soul peers and discerns objects and scenes far be‘ yond the reach of the physical eye. It was once thought that the imagination ‘ was in the human mind like weeds in a gar- den, and that therefore it should be repressed, not cultured. We may well say that in our time there is no mental power which it is more necessary to cultivate than the imagin- ation. Its results are so practical that, what- ever be a man's vocation in life, he can not possibly fill his place to the best advantage without it. He can not be a good shoemaker, carpenter, business man, or farme'r Without proper use of this faculty. Some one has said that the more imagination a blacksmith has the better will he shoe his horse. We have abundant examples, and have also our- selves experienced the fact that if we proceed with a work without first traversing the way with our imagination we frequently get into trouble and have to tear down the work. We shall not stop to consider the advan— tages of a well-developed imagination in the every-day affairs of life, but confine ourselves to that in which we as students are mostly interested, namely the advantages of a clear, vivid imagination in our studies. The successful historian is not the one who can cram his head with dates and names. To be a successful historian one must be able to picture in his mind the scenes and events nar- rated in history, to form clear images and as- sociate these in a way to show how one leads to the other. In order to accomplish this, and get a correct idea of persons, places, and events it is necessary to make use of the imagination. One reason why historical facts Show less
