Youth.

Youth Is the time of hope. The world
lies all before, fair and unirled. The
youth have not learned their own weak
ness by many failures, nor the dread
possibilities that lie in the future. The
past is too brief to occupy them long,
and its farthest point too near to be
clothed in airy purple, which draws the
eye and stirs the heart. They are con-
scious of increasing powers which crave
occupation. IL seems impossible but
that success and Joy shall be theirs. So
they live for little while In n golden
haze. They look down from their peaks on
the virgin forests Of the new world, that
, roll away to the shining waters of the
West. But they soon discover what hard
work the march Is, what monsters Turk
In the leafy coverts, what diseases hover
among the marshes, how short distance
they can see ahead, and how far off Is
the treasure they dream Of. They plod
on, sometimes ready to faint, sometimes
with lighter hearts, but not longer
winged by hope as in the golden prime
unless, indeed by those who have fixed
their hopes on God. and so get through
the march much better, because, be II
rough or smooth, long or short, he moves
before us to guide, and all our ways
lead to him. Exchange.
