Tho Burlington. Hnwkeyc's Advice to a
... Young Graduate.
Remcmber that tho world is older
than you are, by several years; that
Tor thousands Of years it has been SO
iull OF smarter and better young men
than yourself that their feet stuck out
or the dorncr windows; that when
they died the old globe went whirlng
ON, and not one man i'll ten millions
went to tho funeral, or even heard of
the death. BE rs smart as you can, of
course. Know as much as you can,
without blowing the packing out OF
your cylindcr-hcads; shed the light of
your wisdom abroad in the world, but
don't dazzle people with it. And don't
imagine a thing is too simple because
You say It is Don't be too sorry for
your father because he knows so much
less than you do. The world has great
need of young men, but no greater
need than the young mcn have Of it..
Your clothes fit you better than your
fathers fit him; they cost money, they

no, nothing of the kind. They have
been horc before. Don't be so modest
as to shut yourself clear out but don't
be SO fresh, you will have to bc nut
away in the cool TO keep from spelling.
Don't be afraid that your merit viii
not DO discovered. People all over the
world are hunting for you, and if you
arc worth finding, they will find you.

freeman, the Pocassct (Mass.) Ad-
Vcnflst, who murdered his little dnuUh-
ter under tanatical dclusion that
GOD would restore her to life, and who
is still in Jail at Barnstable, refuses to
take any legal advice, and saws, should
tho State furnish him counsel, he will
not permit him to smooth ovor the
facts to mako q good defense. He con-
tlnues to assume that he was "iustifcd
ny God" in slaughtcring his child.
Ills Wifc, who shortly after her arrest
seemed to SEQ tho cliormity of tho
decd, has again fallen under tho old
dclusion, and thinks hcr husband did
perfectly right in sacrificing the child.
They both talk nationally upon evory
other subject.
