There is first the literature of knowledge, and secondly the literature of power. The function of the first is to teach; the function of the second is to move. The first is rudder, the second an oar or sail. The first speaks to the mere discursive understanding; the second speaks ultimately to the higher understanding or reason, but always through the affection of pleasure and sympathy. Whenever we talk in ordinary language of seeking information or gaining knowledge, we understand the works as connected with absolute novelty. But it is the grandeur of all truth which can occupy a very high place in human interests, although it may not be absolutely novel to the meanest of minds.What do we learn from “Paradise Lost”? Nothing at all. What do we learn from a cook book? Something new, something we did not know before, in every paragraph. But would we therefore put the wretched cookbook on a higher level of estimation than the divine poem? What we owe to Milton is not any knowledge, of which a million separate items are still but a million advancing steps on the same earthly level; what we owe is power, that is, exercise and expansion of your own latent capacity of sympathy with the infinite, where every pulse and each separate influx is a step upwardsa step ascending as upon Jacobs ladder from earth to mysterious altitude above the earth. All the steps of knowledge, from first to last, carry us farther on the same plane, but could never raise us one foot above your ancient level on earth; whereas, the very first step of power is flightan ascending into another element where earth is forgotten.1.

He woke suddenly and completely. It was four oclock, the hour at which his father had always called him to get up and help with the milking. Strange how the habits of his youth clung to him still! His father had been dead for thirty years, and yet he still waked at four oclock in the morning. But this morning, because it was Christmas, he did not try to sleep again.2. Yet what was the magic of Christmas now? His childhood and youth were long past, and his own children had grown up and gone.3. Yesterday his wife had said, “It isnt worthwhile, perhaps” And he has said, “Oh, yes, Alice, even if there are only the two of us, lets have a Christmas of our own.”4. Then she had said, “Lets not trim the tree until tomorrow, Robert. Im tired.”5. He had agreed, and the tree was still out by the back door.6. He lay in his bed in his room. The door to her room was shut because she was a light sleeper. Years ago they had decided to use separate rooms. Neither of them slept as well as they once had. They had been married so long that nothing could separate them, actually.7. Why did he feel so awake tonight? For it was still night, a clear and starry night. No moon, of course, but the stars were extraordinary! Now that he thought of it, the stars seemed always large and clear before the dawn of Christmas Day.8. He slipped back in time, as he did so easily nowadays. He was fifteen years old and still on his fathers farm. He loved his father. He had not known it until one day a few days before Christmas, when he had overheard what his father was saying to his mother.9. “Marry, I hate to call Rob in the mornings. Hes growing so fast, and he needs his sleep. I wish I could manage alone.”1. “Well, you cant, Adam.” His mothers voice was brisk. “Besides, he isnt a child any more. Its time he took his turn.”2. “Yes,” his father said slowly. “But I sure do hate to wake him.” When he heard these words, something in him woke: his father loved him! He had never thought of it before, taking for granted the tie of their blood. Now that he knew his father loved him, there would be no more loitering in the mornings and having to be called again. He got up after that, stumbling blind with sleep, and pulled on his clothes.3. And then on the night before Christmas, he lay thinking about the next day. They were poor, and most of the excitement was in the turkey they had raised themselves and in the mince pies his mother made. His sisters sewed presents, and his mother and father always bought something he needed, not only a warm jacket, maybe, but something more, such as a book. And he always saved and bought them each something, too.4. He wished, that Christmas he was fifteen, he had a better present for his father instead of the usual tie from the ten-cent store. He lay on his side and looked out of his attic window.5. “Dad,” he had once asked when he was a little boy, “What is a stable?”6. “Its just a barn,” his father had replied, “like ours.”7. Then Jesus had been born in a barn, and to a barn the shepherds and the Wise Men had come, bringing their Christmas gifts!8. A thought struck him like a silver dagger. Why should he not give his father a special gift, out there in the barn! He could get up earlier, creep into the barn and get all the milking done. And then when his father went in to start the milking, hed see it all done.9. He laughed to himself as he gazed at the stars. It was what he would do, and he mustnt sleep too soundly.10. He must have waked twenty times, striking a match each time to look at his old watch.11. At a quarter to three he got up and crept downstairs, careful of the creaky boards, and let himself out. A big star hung low over the roof, a reddish gold. The cows looked at him, sleepy and surprised. It was early for them, too.12. But they accepted him placidly and he fetched some hay for each cow and then got the milking pail and the big milk cans.13. He had never milked all alone before, but it seemed almost easy. He smiled and milked steadily, two strong streams rushing into the pail, frothing and fragrant. The cows were behaving well, as though they knew it was Christmas.14. The task went more easily than he had ever known it to before. Milking for once was not a chore. It was a gift to his father. He finished, the two milk cans were full, and he covered them and closed the milk-house door carefully, making sure of the latch. He put the stool in its place by the door and hung up the clean milk pail. Then he went out of the barn and barred the door behind him.15. Back in his room he had only a minute to pull off his clothes and jump into bed, for he heard his father up. He put the covers over his head to silence his quick breathing. The door opened.16. “Rob!” his father called. “We have to get up, son, even if it is Christmas.”17. “Aw-right,” he said sleepily.18. “Ill go on out,” his father said. “Ill get things started.”19. The door closed and he lay still, laughing to himself. In just a few minutes his father would know. His dancing heart was ready to jump from his body.20. The minutes were endlessten, fifteen, he did not know how manyand he heard his fathers footsteps again. The door opened.21. “Rob!”22. “Yes, Dad”23. “You son of a ” His father was laughing, a queer sobbing sort of a laugh. “Thought youd fool me, did you!” His father was standing beside his bed, feeling for him, pulling away the cover.24. “Its for Christmas, Dad!”25. He found his father and clutched him in a great hug. He felt his fathers arms go around him. It was dark, and they could not see each others faces.26. “Son, I thank you. Nobody ever did a nicer thing”27. “Oh, Dad, I want you to knowI do want to be good!” The words broke from him of their own will. He did not know what to say. His heart was bursting with love.28. “Well, I reckon I can go back to sleep,” his father said after a moment. “No, listenthe little ones are waked up. Come to think of it, son. Ive never seen you children when you first saw the Christmas tree, I was always in the barn. Come on!”29. He pulled on his clothes again, and they went down to the Christmas tree, and soon the sun was creeping up to where the star had been. Oh, what a Christmas, and how his heart had nearly burst again with shyness and pride as his father told his mother about how he, Rob, had got up all by himself.30. “The best Christmas gift I ever had, and Ill remember it, son, every year on Christmas morning, as long as I live.”31. They had both remembered it, and now that his father was dead he remembered it alone; that blessed Christmas dawn when, alone with the cows in the barn, he had made his first gift of true love. Outside the window now the stars slowly faded. He got out of bed and put on his slippers and bathrobe and went softly downstairs. He brought in the tree, and carefully began to trim it. It was done very soon. He then went to his library and fetched the little box that contained his special gift to his wife, a diamond brooch, not large but dainty in design. But he was not satisfied. He wanted to tell herto tell her how much he loved her.32. How fortunate that he had been able to love! Ah, that was the true joy of life, the ability to love! For he was quite sure that some people were genuinely unable to love anyone. But love was alive in him. It still was.33. It occurred to him suddenly that it was alive because long ago it had been born in him when he knew his father loved him. That was it: love alone could waken love.34. And this morning, this blessed Christmas morning, he would give it to his beloved wife. He could write it down in a letter for her to read and keep forever. He went to his desk and began: My dearest love35. When it was finished, he sealed it and tied it on the tree. He put out the light and went tiptoeing up the stairs. The stars in the sky were gone, and the first rays of the sun were gleaming in the east, such a happy, happy Christmas!1.

Burch, and keeper of the slave pen in New-Orleans, was out among his animals early in the morning. With an occasional kick of the older men and women, and many a sharp crack of the whip about the ears of the younger slaves, it was not long before they were all astir, and wide awake. Mr. Theophilus Freeman bustled about in a very industrious manner, getting his property ready for the sales-room, intending, no doubt, to do that day a rousing business. (2) In the first place we were required to wash thoroughly, and those with beards, to shave. We were then furnished with a new suit each, cheap, but clean. The men had hat, coat, shirt, pants and shoes; the women frocks of calico, and handkerchiefs to bind about their heads. We were now conducted into a large room in the front part of the building to which the yard was attached, in order to be properly trained, before the admission of customers. The men were arranged on one side of the room, the women on the other. The tallest was placed at the head of the row, then the next tallest, and so on in the order of their respective heights. Emily was at the foot of the line of women. Freeman charged us to remember our places; exhorted us to appear smart and lively, - sometimes threatening, and again holding out various inducements. During the day he exercised us in the art of “looking smart,” and of moving t
