Without it life Is hsvoriess. In the
golden age, saw the poets, man hsd
no wants. That's lib. He wanted
occupation. Alexander, when be
had completed bis conquests, got
the blues because there were no
more nations to subdue.
Philosophers and theologians have
talked and written much about the
vanity of human wishes. Well, hu-
man wishes are vain-or rather we
are apt to think them so when the
objects to which they pointed have
been attained. But they are not
vain-provided they be ofan honest
kind-as incentives to exertion; for
exertion, after all, is the only luxu.
ry that does not pull. 1t is born Of
hope, ard Heaven pity him whom
fortune should 90 overload with tenn
moral benefits as to leave him moth
ing on earth to desire. Would an
individual 80 circumstance be con-
tented? Not bit of it. However,
such condition is impossible. For
tunately for our happines, we all
think that something more than we
have is necessary to its completeness.
All men who are worth calling
men like to wrestle with difficulty.
If it does not lie in their way they
90 out of their way to find it. One
starts for the source Of the Nile,
another for the home of the gorilla,
a third for the bleak Antarctic, a
fourth for the North pole. Each
has his hobby, and it is indispensa-
bic to the pleasure of hobby riding,
that the nag be hard to catch and
somewhat unmanageablc. "There's
no such word as impossible" said
Napoleon, and he was never in such
high spirits as when he was boarding
Europe in the attempt to prote the
truth of his axiom. No human be-
ing cares to trot his hobby over
macadimized road. There is no
excitement in ease and safety, and
; without excitement ofsome kind we
would all rust, body and soul. m .o :
PREJuD1cE,-There are souls gifted
with natural condor that protects
them against prejudice, or, if they
are Influenced for a moment, the
prejudice fades rapidly away, like'a a
breath from the smooth face of
mirror. Others ofinferior polish are
affected by every passing impression,
as the Photographic plate is eaten
into by every fugitive ray Of light
that falls upon it's surface. He who
wishes to be good and wise will jeal-
ously guard his mind against the
approaches Of prejudice, whether in
reference to persons or thing. Ma
ture often gives to susceptible ma
lures a quickness of insight that is.
