The July Century presents the following suggestions as to the essence of a few metaphysical units suitable for all searchers after truth.

Art is the joyous externalization of inwardness.

Beauty is the joyous internalization of outwardness.

Poetry is the hampered soul leaping at verity.

Truth is the so-ness of as-it-were.

Right is the awful yes-ness of the over-soul meditating on the how-ness of the thing.

Society is the heterogeneous buying place with homogeneity.

A Thing is simply an is-ness.

Matter is is-ness possessed of some-what-ness.

Philosophy is the mind trying to find out its own little game.

[Respectfully submitted to the latest school of philosophy.]—Journal of Education.
