The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1881-01-12

Though very life were at stake,
/ would beg for the nober justice
That men for manhoods sake
Should give ungrudgingly, nor withholdstill /
must highland take.
The fleet foot and the feeble foot
Both seek the self-sa1ne goal.
The weakest soldiers name is writ
on the great army rpli,
And God, Who made mans body strong, made,
too. the wofnan's SOUL

- Popular speech has crvstallized many a
1ne thought and wise e5hortation; and the
saying which reminds Us how every cloud
has silver lining is one Of the fncst and
wisest. If only we would adopt it as a line
BY which to rule cur minds when tidings
look dark and doubts of Ultimate bright
ness gather around D. now much I'M
. Necessary sorrow we should be spared and
how great would be err gain in happi-

- Home and family life naturally make up
the greater half of wonsan's existence. OF
those who hare to 60 cut into the world to
seek their own fortunes ard make their own
livelihood, the prope ton Is as yet, happily,
not the larger. To them, indeed, the doc
trine of the silver lining is of all most sadly
needed as q true and living faith. When
/, they find the battle of life almost more than
they can wage, when wounded, sore, beaten
. to their knees, overcome in the desperate
! struggle for existence which has TO be made
by them against the opponents of so much
greater force, they cry aloud in fear and
Z give themselves up to the unbelief of des-
pair, who shall blame them2 Poor weak
handed sisters, hustled here and there by
stalwart men with their weak ones to pro
tect, how can they fail to fear2 And yet
even TO them comes the sweet doctrine of
hope, of realization through endeavor, and
of the peace of tomorrow after the turmoil
of to-day. And after all, which is worse to
bear-the active troubles of life or the
gnawing pain, the eorroding rust of
sloth?
Looking at things honestly, resolute to
deny pleasant fallacies and to see human
life as it is, we are forced to acknowledge
that middle-class house, where there are
many girls treading on each others heels
too well of to make work for money a ne.
cessityss yet not sufficiently rich to make
costly pleasure the only occupation, is often
not the most peaceful or happy. Sisters as
they are, their personal Interests are apt to
clash and their tempers do not always har-
monte. If they i've in the country there's
an absence OF AL stirring excitement, and
they have no occupation which takes them
|, out Of themselves or which lifts them above
the petty events of restricted society
They get tired &c the foolish little bits of
: fancy work, none Of which have the dignity
4 of sustained effort or noble kind of use
when dOne- They have no taste for ardu-
Hons study, and if they have they slide it as
a thing to be rather ashamed of than en-
: couraged. They hammer on the lower
tracks Of schoolgirl art till they themselves
get weary Of their false perspective, their
muddy coloring, and those new pieces of
music which they know they do not render
properly and they slur over all the difficult
passages. They read the lighter books of
their local Lending Society, but they scarce
ly glance at the graver and heavier. and
think it shame that they should be intro
duced at all They are standing aside from
fthe crowded thOroughfares of life and are
out Of the rapid currents of pleasure
and excitement, and they know that
they are waiting for the chance of
yssrriAge; whether they like to
7 confess it or not, they know that this ia the
secret truth, and that If they do not mary
there il nothing Cor them but long and
