THE WISE MAN.
To educate the wise man the
state exists, and with the ap
pearance of tbe wive man the
state expires. ? ? ? The wise
man Is the state. He needs do
army, fort or nary? he loves men
too well; no bribe or feast or
palace to draw friends to him.
no vantnpe ground, no favorable
circumstance. He needs no li
brary. for he has not done think
ing: no church, for he Is a proph
et: no statute book, for he Is the
lawgiver: no money, for he la
value: no road, for he Is at home
where he Is; no experience, for
the life of tbe Creator shoots
through him and looks from hij
eyes. He has no personal friend,
for he who has the spell to draw
the prayer and piety of all men
unto hlrn needs not husband and
educate a few to share with him
a select and poetic life. His re
lation to men Is angelic; his
memory is myrrh to them, bis
presetu-e frankincense and flow
ers.? Ralph Waldo Emerson.
