II you never have known the charm Of the
pain
or the heart pulsating low
To the saddened music Of loves sweet
strain
And after each exquisite throe,
The bliss of the melody, joyous and sad,
That falls from dream above,
Nor the Gliding whisperings sweet and
mad:
You know not love. sweet Lowell
OF the sweetness and madness of love.
If you know not the secrets the stars can
When the moon sinks to restiu dream.
Nor have heard not the tinkiing Of the Wild
lowers bell
When swayed by the soft moonbeam.
Nor have looked not entranccd IN the sill
very eye
or the lake in tho listening grove,
Nor have let not reasons voice In n MUIR
muir pass by
You know not Of love, sweet love
or tho sweetness and madness Of love.
II your heart has beat low to the signing
leaves,
And leapt ut the wood-bird's note,
Or has stood in the silence that life de-
ceives
With the song of the golden throat,
II you have listened entranced TO the rap
ture Of song
Breaking from lips that never move,
You may then feel the ecstacy feeble and
strong,
You may then know OF love, sweet love |
or the sweetness and madness of love.
If you have lived in the sorrow that day by
day
Slapped the life-blood from your heart,
If you broke its mad spirit and babe it
away,
And wept to see IL depart
And hove seen a soft blending Of color
sweep down
From the low mist lingering above,
And the glow Of diadem your LIES labor
crown,
You know then OF love, sweet love.
Of the sweetness and madness OF love.

John G. Calhoun was in Yale Col
lege, he was ridiculed by his fellow
students for his intense application
to study. "Why, sir" he replied,
II am forced to make the most Of
my time, that / may acquit myself
creditably while in Congress. "A

Of the past, and fame and honor sur

a failure. The wiseacres shook their
heads at him mockingly. "Tho day
will come when you win be glad to
hear me!' he said, prophesy which
his sneering critics have seen album
dainty fulfilled. Robert Hall, the
great divine, failed three time most
ignominiously. Iu the first effort
he stuck at the beginning. Cover

tears. At the third trial he again
failed, but afterwards succeeded and
ranked rs the most powerful pulpit
orator Of England.
And so on indefinitely, we might
run over the names furnished from
history and show what pluck will ac-
complish. Stand firm, and let the
pillows beat: the sea must become
calm sometime. 1t is worth the trial,
young man, to labor and work for
honor and manliness. Let the mo-

ed with briers and very hilly, to the
weak and undetermined. To one who
has resolved to make a history and
a name for himself, the days will be
weary and vexing and life a perpetual
contest. But this should not be dis
couraging The harder the battle,
the grander the final victory; the
rougher the road, the more enjoya-
bic the ending. There is nothing so
sublime and impressive than to see
poor young man struggling and
working hard to improve his condi-
ton. We all honor him, and when
he has succeeded; when he has
shown to the world that he is plucky
and deserving, then he will know
what a jewel he has won and will re-
ceive tokens Of respect and admira-
ton from his fellow-men. Noyoung
man lives, perhaps, who cannot win
for himself the confidence and APP
plaud of his friends and companions.
Hundreds of opportunities are Offer
ed him every hour; spare moments
that might be turned to gold. The
trouble is we think too much Of en-
joyments and street.-The. The thought
Of selfapplication seems to be the
fartherest away and the least thought
Of, and its Importance and weight
seldom recognized. The young men
ofthe present are simply interested
in fine clothes, outwasd appearances
and the excitements of the world.
They live only for the present; sell
dom recognizing that the future must
come some time with its sad end.
If they would honestly think for
moment reason as to the benefit Of
good education and familiarity
with labor, in it's various forms, we
would have more polished citizen
ship, more intelligent community,
and more successful people. What
is really needed is Tightening up
Of the screw of self-will; calm ex-
animation of facts. Many person
has resolved to pursue an upward
course. The resolution is held in
violable for short time and then,
through lack Of pluck and determi-
nation, broken. This should not be
so. Fight only the harder if you
find yourself weakening; strike
straight at the cause of your I'M
steadiness and you will win. Why,
friend, no man ever reached an emil
nently high place in craftsmanship,
won laurels on the battlefield or
made name in the business history
OF the world, by a single act or in a
short time. On the contrary, we find
it was steady, untiring work; una
bated, unrelenting application that
did it. Time and again it seemed
to them, in the words Of Dante,
..That justice had fled and truth was no
more,v
but, this only made them more earn
est and resolute, and they succeed
ed.
A certain young man worked hard
to make living. He was poor and

were joking with him about striving
to make name, II will yet make
