By T.K.

- Talking' of Ruskin has set, me to turning over bis bookp. I have been : neglecting them lately to my great loss. I find so much suited to our uiiva. U* deals with thp great problem of war, of political (conorny, of domestic hsppuv sa ib a very radical manner. Mark you, I do not mean by that that h« deals ■with them in the manner of "Radicals," .bat lie goes to the root of these masters. Here is an extract or two which may perhaps give you a taste for more In his 'Grown of Olive ' he writes ' I shall divide the war of which I wouM speak to yoa into three heads—War for exercise or pi»y ; war for dominion ; and war for defence, 1. Of war for exercise or play, I speak of it in this light because through all past history manly war has been more sn exercise than anything else among the classes who cause and pro . claim it. It is not a game to the conscript or the pressed sailor, but neither of these are the causers of it. To 'he governor who determines that war shall bfi and to the youths who voluntarily adopt it as their profession, it has alwfty^ been a grand pastime, ■'.;&nd-chief!:y pursued because they had nothing el-e to do. And this ia true without, any exception No King wh :se mind was fully occupied with the development of the inner resources of his kingdom or with any other sufficing subject of thought ever entered into war but on compulsion. No youth who was earnestly busy with any peaceful subject of study or set oo any service able coarse ©f action ever voluntarily becftose a soldier. Occupy him, early : and wisely, ia agriculture or business, in science or in literature, and he will never think of war otherwise than as a eilamity—a wholesome calamity, ob» servo; not to be shrunk from, though not to be provoked. But leave him idle, and the more brave • and active and capable he is by nature, the more he will thirst for some ap pointed field of'action, and fiod in the passion and peril of battle the only j satisfying fulfi raent of his unoccupied - being. Now, remember, whatevpr virtue or godliness there may be in this game of war, rightly played, there is none when you play it with a multitude of human pavrnF. If yoa, the gentlemen of this or any other kingdom, choose to mike your pastime of contest, do so, and welcome, but set not up these unhappy peasant-pieces upon the chequer of forest and field. If the reaper is to be of death, lay it on your own heads, not theirs, Brit should this game of war be played any way ? Should i*, if not by your servants, be practised by yourselves ? I think, yes. Both history and human instinct aeem alike to say. yes. All healthy men like fighting, and Jike the sense or danger ; all brave women like to hear of their fighting, and of their facing danger. I cannot help fancying that a tournament ia a better game than a st.peplechasp. The time may come, in France, as w^ll as here, for universal hurdle races and criket* Ing, bat I do not think universal cricket will bringoofu f th -^ best qualities of the noblea of either country. . . But srempinber, the groat jug'ih'cati< n of this g»me of war is that it truly, when well played, determines who is the best m-m —who is the highest bred, th-a moet self denying, the roost fearless, the coolflet of nerve, the swiftest r)e and hand You cannot; tpst those qualities wholly unlcs there is a e'eir possibility of the struggle ending in dwith. It is only iv the feinting of that condition that the full trial of the .men, soa! awd body, comes oufc , , For the final testing, observe, you must make the issue of battle strictly df pen dent on fineness of frame, and firmness of hand. You mn^t not make it the question, which of the combatants has the longest gun, or which has gOfc behind the biggest tree, or which has the wind in his face* or which has gun powder made by tb© best chemists, or iron Bmelted with the best coal, or the angriest; mob at hia back. Decide your battle, whether of nations or indi viduals, on these terras, and you have only nmltipiieci confusion, and added slaughter to iniquity. But decide your battle by pure trial which has the btrongest arm, and steadiest heart, and you have gone far to decide a great many matters besides, and to decide them rightly. , 2. I pass now to our second order of •war, the commonest among men, that undertaken in desire of dominion. And let me ask you to think for a few momenta what the real meaning of this desire for dominion te. . , National strength does not depend on extent of territory any more than upon number of papulation Take up your maps this evening. Put. the cluster of British Isles beside the mass of Houth America, and then consider whether any race of men need care how much ground they stand upon. The strength is iv the men, and in their unity and virtue, nob in their standing room: a little group o£ wiae hearts is better than a wilder ness full of foola ; and only that nation gains true territory, which gains itself. , . . But, as it is at their own peril that any raca extends their dominion in mere desire of power, so it is at their own still greater peril that they refuse to undertake aggressive war, according to their forco, whenever they are accused that their authority would be helpful and protective. ; . . - « Lastly, I come to the third kind of mobile war—war waged simply for defence of the couutry in which we were born, and for the maintenance and execution of her laws Vy whomso ever threatened or defied, Ifc is to this < duty that I suppose most men entering the army consider theinselvrs in reality to be bound . . . You have put yourselves into the hand of your country as a; weapon. You have vained to strike or to 6tay fc»bbanded when she fair's you ; all that you n^ed answer for is that you fail not in her grasp . , A soldier's vow to his country is that foe will die for the guardianship of her j domestic virtue, of her righteous Jaws of her any way challenged or endangered honour. .•. . And the health of any State consists simply in this ; that in it those who are wisest shall also be strongest, its rulers shall also be its soldiers ; or, rather, by force of Intel lect more than of sword, its soldiers also its rulers. Whatever the hold which the aristocracy of England has on the heart of England, in that they ®re $jways in front of hsr bftttlee, Ibis
