Failures in 2ociety.

Society is full of failures that need
never have been made; full of men
who have never succeeded. when they
might have and should have succeeded:
full of women who, in the first half of
their days, did nothing but eat and
sleep and simper, and in the last half
have done nothing but perpetuate their
fo1lies and weakness. The world is
full, l say, of such people, fell of men
in every trade and profession who do
ntt amount to anything, and of girls
aid women without any trade or pro-
fassion who have no desiie to amount
10 anything; and do not speak irrev-
crentiy, and I trust not without due
charity, without making due allow
ance to the inevitable in life, when |
say that God and thoughtful men are
weary Of their presence. Every boy
ought to improve on his father; every
girl growing into nobIer, gentIer,
more self-denying womanhood than
the mother. No reproduction of former
type will give the world the perfect
type. Ikknow not where the milleni-
um is, as measured by distance oftime,
but I do know, and SO do you all, that
it is a great way off as measured by
human growth and expansion We
have no such men and women yet-no
age has ever had any-as shall stand on

Strain at an early day in Darien, espe-
cially as it was net confined to one but
was exhibited by all the officers, not
excepting even Strain at the last, de-
serves especial notice 20 From the time
that food became scarce to the close,
and just in proportion as famine III
creased, they did not gloat oyer Wis
ions of homeiS fare, but ,.revelled in
gorgeous dinners. So, strangely and
strongly did this wliinI get possession
of their minds, that the hour Of balting,
when they could indulge undisturbed
in these rich revelries, became an OBJ
ject of the deepest interest. While
hewing their way through the jungleS,
and wearied and overcome until they
were ready to sing, they would cheer
each other by saying, Never mind,
when we go into camp we'll have q
splendid supper" meaning, Of course,
the imaginary one they designed to en-
joy. Truston and Maury woul> spend
hours in spreading tables loaded with
every luxury they had ever seen or
heard of. Over this imaginary feast
they would gl0at with the pleasure OF
a gourmand, never seeing the incon-
gruity of the thing. They would talk
this over while within hearing of the
moans of the men, and on one OCCASION
discussed the propriety of giving up in
the future all stimulating drinks, as
they had been informed it weakened
the appetite. As hereafter they de-
signed, if they ever got ont, to devote
themselves entirely and exclusively
for the rest of their lives to eating,
they soberly concluded it was wrong to
do anything to lessen its pleasures or
amount.
