two of the crew deserted. Four men were sent out
to her and she proceeded 22d. She returned again
to Deer Island with windlass broken and was de-

SATURDAY MORNING. FEB. 10.

the Shepherd Kings and the Mound Builders
come and talk together within our fences.
Now, how will this new condition of things
affect individuals? With every generation the
pursuit of fame becomes more hopeless, and
there is a tacit recognition of the hopelessness
OF it. Instead of books, with ponderous pref
ace and dedication, men put their best ideas
without regret into anonymous newspaper ar
ticles, whichhave but the days life of the
gnat The young fellow leaves college with as
buoyant confidence in himself and his power
to climb above the mass as he would have had
centuries ago; but he learns the lesson of his
insignifcance more quickly. Every day
teaches him that the world moved before he
was born and will move when he is dead. The
necessity, too. of earning his bread and butter
brings him quickly down to the common level.
He plans great poem and he ends by laying
asphalt pavements. His talent is for scientific
discovery, and he becomes successful grocer.
BE works hard to bring about wide reform.
The reform is accomplished without him, as it
were, by accident. and the best that is said of
his life's work at its close is that he paid his
bills and brought up his family decently. In
deed, the great majority of men, if they are
not blinded by self-conceit, must see that the
principal work which they actually accomplish
in life is to rear their children. One gene ra-
tion seems to serve only as basis for the next,
as the old trees die down for the saplings to
spring out of their roots.
