M ILESTONES Stones are the symbols of Permanence. Eternity lias been typified in Stone: Time has been defied by it. Iiasalt and Granite have outlived men and epochs and ages. Life in its simpler forms lias clung to rock-ribbed mountains as if to secure to itself Perpetuity. Death, too. has claimed Marble for its Mausoleum that it might hold its place and position unchallenged. Temple 1 Slock and Hearth-stone Slab and Funeral Shaft tell the infant's primal cry, youth's passionate bliss and the shadowed anguish of age. Milestones are the memorials of indomitable Mind. Aspiration. Achievement, Advancement,—these are the records the Milestone plants deep-bedded in the onward course of the Pioneer. To oil other Stones Humanity turns its face, lifts its eye, voices a requiem for the known. To the Milestone,-—graven only on its hither-side, if any mark there be, Mankind turns its back, looks for no promise, gives no hostage of dependent faith. Each Stone beside,—be it veined with the blue of the azure or the red of life’s pulsing blood: be it flecked with the flash of the diamond or light-starred like the blackness of night -stands sentinel of Life’s twilight Peace. The MILESTONE, untraced by the fancies of Nature’s vagrant dreams and uncut by the savage Hint or artist skill, dares the eastern dawn and challenges the coming Day. MILESTONES are the Soul's answer to the I'nknown. her response to Futurity, and for her, will ever abide The Symbol of the I rek. E. 1). Dim next.
