Under the affectionate tuition of necessity, Isolita’s instincts had been trained for the consistent conservation and advancement20 of vitality21, and her knowledge, despite the disadvantages of siege, had extended with a wide reach beyond the cinctus walls. With cultivated attainments22 for the discernment of cause and effect, she had with the dependent emergency of her people upon a continued supply of vegetable products become a practical botanist24, capable of tracing at sight the natural life-sustaining affinities25 of fruits and roots, although ignorant of their technical classification into generas, orders, and species. Visiting the embryotic garden of the doctor, shortly after their espousal, she was surprised to find the only thriving plant the noxious26 venoseminata, the evil genius of fruitful vegetation, which when once allowed to take root, in new soil, offered hydra27 resistance to the efforts bestowed28 for its eradication29. With her quick perception she discovered the danger incurred30 from its heedless cultivation, not only to the plot of her adopted Socius, but to the neighboring plantations31, which with full exampled growth would become subject to its contagious32 encroachments. Quick in preservative33 action she seized a dibble, and before the technical precedentalist could arrest her practical intention, the malignant34 parasite35 was uprooted36, and hung dependent from the branch of a tree exposed to the full rays of the sun. Too late for expostulation, the theorist stood aghast at her audacity38, but kept silence lest from her skillful use of the dibble she should trace the noxious thrift39 of the plant to his jesuitical cultivation, despite the warnings of his neighbors. Recovering, when he saw her raise plant after plant, consigning40 them to the same fate, and in process exposing others to remove from their roots the fatal tentacles41, he remonstrated42; but she still 470continued her labor, the while congratulating him when she discovered that none of the diffusia had trespassed43 beyond his limits. At length convinced that no stray fibre remained, she carefully gathered every leaf, branch, and tendril to be united in the fate of the parent stalk. Completing her search for the garroting quirls of the venoseminata, that strangulated above the surface with an effect as deadly as the wide spreading roots beneath the surface, she silently replaced those promising44 fruition worthy45 of cultivation, then standing46 in a smilingly questioning attitude of graceful47 solicitation48, she waited to learn the measure of her Socius’ approval. To which he answered in words, with eyes fitfully glancing askance, half with shame, inwrought with furtive49 displeasure, “To be sure I understood the nature of the plant, but I wished for the others to grow in company with it, that they might improve upon its evil example, in vindication50 of our theatrical51 enactments52 which portray54 sensational55 evil, that they may show the shadow of a surviving moral, for it is the duty of the good to shame the evil; for what says one of your old Roman poets?
“‘In evil company you should ever show,
That purity can protect itself, and ever grow.’”
Isolita. “But did you not see that it was destroying all within its reach?”
Socius. “But as in war, evil eventually exhausts itself; and by furnishing more hardy56 growths I should have overcome it in time.”
Isolita. “But it would have soon extended itself beyond your limits. Besides, of what avail the cultivation of your ground if your useful plants were condemned57 to be constantly devoured58 by this parasite without reaching fruition. In permitting evil to grow and expand under your hand for neighborly infliction59, when in the beginning you have the power of suppressing 471it at ease, to perfect extinction60, would make you miserably61 culpable62 as an abettor.”
Socius. “But your Manatitlan advisers63 advocate the practical good of their school of hypocrisy64, that their scholars may be fore-armed by being forewarned.”
Isolita. “Yes, but the professors are as harmless for evil and injury as those that I have hung in the sun to endure the scorching65 noon-day heat, with the fruitful soil beyond their reach. Besides the human venoseminatas serve as a warning to their kind, and in their professorial speciality of ingratitude66 are detained from propagating their deadly example.”
Socius. “But your Manatitlan advisers advocate the practical good that comes from exposing hypocrisy; and their arguments sustained by example, are equivalent to preaching, and our theatrical entertainments founded upon precedental enactments, which appears to be a distinction without a difference in reality.”
Isolita. “As you are aware, the Manatitlan school of hypocrisy was an ulterior resort, forced upon them by the ritualistic duplicity of their Mouthpat neighbors; which, aside from the beneficial result derived67 from exposing the deceptive68 incongruities69 that entailed70 constantly increasing misery71 upon the races of mankind, afforded thoughtful stimulus72 to the graduating novices73 for suggesting the means of auramental direction, in their aural74 correspondence with the civilized75 Giga races.”
Socius. “You are speaking as a Manatitlan, under direction. Is it well for you to submit to the prompting of third parties in your intercourse76 with me? I have been taught that the marriage alliance should be held sacred as a body corporate77 united in its parts for communion with self.”
Isolita. “If we consult our mutual78 advantage, it is not from extending injury but help to others, and 472with the flow of recurrent reciprocation79, we in turn are filled to overflowing80 with grateful emotions of joy. We certainly should not disdain81 good instruction from any source, which offers experienced advantage for aiding our endeavors in perfecting the attainment23 of a happy union. As with us of Heraclean lineage, you have acknowledged the near approach of the Manatitlans to happy perfection, and should unite with us in grateful expressions of joy that they are pleased to devote their experience for our advancement in happiness. Their exampled experience in goodly purity, revived in current reciprocation from disembodied affection, affords us a more perfect realization83 of Creative intention, through the indications of perceptive84 endowment. If we live dependent upon the vitality of others, without reciprocation, to the exclusion85 of confidence imparted from the joyous86 trust of unselfish goodness, we should in fact enact53 the part of the venoseminata that destroys useful vegetation with the growth of its own grasping evil propensities87, which yields to itself a destructive existence in compensation for the injury it inflicts88 upon the fruitful beneficence of its neighbors.”
Socius. “Your language betrays the Manatitlan philosopher, rather than the wife; who according to our creed89 should obey her husband in all things. We have a proverb in Germany, that says ‘Two literary philosophers can never agree in a common household;’ and another that reads, ‘It is better to have a wife submissively weak in intellect, than strong in mind.’ So you will perceive that in sequence it logically follows that children born from united strength will become heterodox to ancestral faith, unless left early to the example and correction of a surviving parent.”
Isolita. “With the indwelling sanction of purity and goodness, we accord to the Manatitlans a better interpretation90 of Creative indications from practical 473knowledge, and are grateful for their aid prompted by well tested experience devoted to an enduring perception of our immortal91 privilege of living in life away from the gross control of instinctive92 desires, which in confluence93 with united parental94 example lives ever with us proof to bereavement95.”
Socius. “I certainly wish to understand you, and better still, I would have you comprehend me without other aid than I am able to impart. For as I have been taught, it is esteemed96 absolutely necessary for a wife to reverence12 her husband as a director from acknowledged superiority, with a submissive affection contentfully obedient in affording a guarantee for the peaceful assurance of the household. Law and order, under the ruling control of the husband, are as essential for the preservation97 of domestic discipline as public.”
Isolita (smiling sadly). “Can union abide98 with the superiority of one part above another, that with assumption dictates99 subserviency100 in the place of equality? To love, with us, is to be loved; and, as you have experienced, we have no jarring discords101 from selfish indulgence, for in recognition of the unprivileged specialities of brute102 instinct, in contradistinction we are enabled to consult the body’s requirements for healthy support, in appropriate degree for the healthy manifestation103 of affectionate equality, in check of the cravings for excessive gratification that with material clog104 is the pampering105 source of all the woes106 of the Giga race.”
Socius. “So, so, I see that a Heraclean wife includes the dictation of a Manatitlan bride.”
Isolita. “It is not our wish to ‘dictate or argue,’ for we have been well informed of the dissentious meaning of the words in exampled use with the Gigas. But you must be well aware, that unless confidingly107 united in sympathy our union is void, and our example would impart evil rather than good. It is 474from the consciousness of grateful appreciation108 derived from imparted affection that we obtain our impressions of happiness, and in extension of immortality109.”
Socius (abashed). “You make me feel from your affectionate solicitation, in self-reproof, for my repellance, like a father who has dictated110 to his children, by recommendation and example, politic111 hypocrisy, sword exercise, and dancing, as passports for the enjoyment112 of life, with the expectation of affectionate reciprocation; but will honestly acknowledge that the prepossessions of my instinct oppose concessions113; still will try to make myself subservient114 to your affectionate direction in all things, for I am fully15 impressed with the fallacious follies115 incubated from my conceptions.”
Isolita. “It is not my desire’s wish to have you subservient in any respect, but affectionate in the reciprocation of purity and goodness, so that our companionship may never admit of selfish deviation116, but experience in daily appraisement117 the novelty of new ardor118 in loving returns.”
The voice of the padre, tremulous with mirthful enjoyment, interrupted the doctor’s grateful reply to Isolita, by calling upon him to act as umpire in deciding a question that had arisen between him and Madonnasta with regard to the germination119 of the bean. In answer to his call the doctor and Isolita advanced to his plot, where they joined in the voiceful mirth of Madonnasta, who had surprised her espoused120 while engaged in reversing the supposed resurrection of some Indian beans he had planted, which in germination had been forced in division above the surface. The first salutation of Madonnasta, when she discovered his unnatural121 occupation, was a look of startled inquiry122 directed to his face, to detect whether his employment was prompted by humorous suggestion from the delusive123 effects of his Christian124 education, 475which inculcated a material resurrection of the interred125 body, or simplicity126. His pantomimic expression of disgust, at the supposed trifling127 of vegetation in returning to him his labors128 in material bifurcation, put to flight her first impressions that he was facetiously129 endeavoring to show his willingness to uproot37 old prejudices founded upon precedental habits and customs. His ludicrously despiteful gesticulations, evoked130 from nature’s supposed practical joke, quickly dispelled131 her shudder132 of dread133 by making apparent the real cause of the reversion. The simplicity of his ignorance caused a depreciating134 flow of mirth, as she stayed his hands from farther sacrilege. Readily understanding from her movements and facial indications, the cause of her remonstrance135, he expostulated with her by signs and words to respect his judgment. But unable to stem the current of her mirthful resistance to his labors, he appealed to Dr. Baāhar for judgment upon the cause of the bean’s bodily resurrection. Upon learning the cause of the doctor’s summons, Isolita was unable to resist her inclination136 to join in the mirthful peals137 of Madonnasta. But her socius with dignified138 seriousness, natural to the scientific professor, proceeded to give an elaborate opinion from authenticated139 authority founded upon the technicalities of order, genera, and species, in conjunction with a supposititious analysis of the soil; which caused the padre to interrupt him with the exclamation140, “My goodness gracious, doctor, I called for light, and you give me darkness! The fact is we might as well acknowledge our ignorance at once, and submit gracefully141 to our betrothed142’s Heraclean direction; for even your maiden143 aunt, upon whom you was mainly dependent for your theoretical ideas, illustrated144 the virtue145 of necessity in like emergency, by an example of celibacy146, and the value of our opinions tend to the same end.”
To which the doctor replied, “If you are to be 476made the pons asinorum for the passage of Manatitlan wit, we had better adjourn147 to the auriculum where we can have a more direct rendering148.”
In response to an implied allusion149 to his brogue, the padre, in retort, urged that the doctor’s name gave indication of an instinctive alliance equally remote with his own, although more simple and less prolonged in vocalization. These repartees, although civilized in evolution, were void in chivalrous150 results, as each party held themselves amenable151 to kindly152 goodwill153 in the revival154 of their ancient badinage155 in the presence of their betrothed.
477
CONCLUSION.
Having, with advisorial aid, completed the historical part of my delegated labor, designed for the initial elaboration of Manatitlan habits and customs in design for Giga adoption156, I am directed to urge for any lack of perspicuity157, in addition to my own defects, the limited variety of words and terms embodied82 in the languages and idioms of civilized races, for the expression of affectionate purity and goodness, with the impress of reality, independent of the selfish distinctions imposed by the arbitrary rule of meum and tuum. As a reflecting pharos for the Manatitlan rays of affection, I have endeavored to render from their dictation with truthful158 impartiality159, rarely offering comments or suggestions of my own. Still, I am fully aware, that, as the medium, I shall subject myself, as a target, to the defilements of instinctive stigmas160, which so abundantly replenish161 in Giga vocabularies the lack of words endowed with affectionate expression; but feel myself so well protected by the initiatory162 silicoth-garment of Manatitlan adoption, that the omniscentiferous capacity of humanity for the ejection of odors from mouth and pen, will prove as harmless in effect as if in aim directed to my dictators.
With the assurance of affectionate reciprocation from the good of septs and nationalities, I shall, with the grateful solace163 of their sympathy, rest content in freedom from annoyance164, although assailed165 with odors, grunts166, and growls167 vented168 from mouthpat instinct. If, peradventure, the future of Giga races may be withheld169 by the adoption of the Manatitlan system of 478education, in devisement for the attainment of legislative170 self-control, from thoughtless submission171 to the mouthed and written precedentalisms, which have served to render misery the chief object of life rather than happiness, it will prove an ample source of recompense for the untoward172 contributions bestowed in opposition173 to creative indications by progressive instinct.
Yet with all the hoped for joy anticipated from the grateful confluent reciprocations of goodness, we acknowledge a selfish grief foreboded in our exile from Heraclea into the civilized world of instinctive strife174, although consoled with the auramental presence of our Manatitlan familiars.
