| simple pleasures, delight in innocent
! amusements, love Of companionship,
and what to the graver class would seem
trivial recreations in which there is
apparent waste of tine-theee are actual
gains Of time. The easy liver absolutely
has more time in his years, and accom-
plishes more than his opposite, even when
his life is By some years the briefer. It was
remarked by very practical physician
recently that ne had found himself grow
ing old too rapidly, and on analyzing his
case he discovered that youthful senti-
ment, buoyance and zest Of life were being
crowded out by the disposition to 1.-Two
hard. He resolved ct once 10 check the
tendency; to control the disposition to
take all things seriously and hardly. The
result was that after something Of q
struggle he overcame himself, could SIT
calm under surrounding excitement,
gained in the great art Of scli-control and
mental equopoise; learned that to worry
over things" in no wise changed them
or fastened con8ummations, and With this
new stata came back something Of the
buoyance Of youth, enjoyment Of simple
pleasures, lesscned demand fer stimulating
Influences, physical gain, and a decided
slowing down in the process Of growing
old. In short, this practical physician re-
solved 10 no longer live hard, and by his
example demonstrated the possibility of
even the hard liyer5 reforming,
renewing vitality, and in one sense
Of slipping at the fountain of
eternal youth. Now such people
as the non-youthful-and as it is here sug-
ge5ted to add the hard liycrs-say8 the
Bulletin, furnish the recruits mainly for
the insane asylums and the premature
graves Of suicides. 1t follows then, that

happiness and the extending to the renot-
est verge Of old age of the freshness Of
youth in the heart. In this very direction
the concluding remarks of our San Fran
cisco contemporary apply: For genera
tons Il vas thought to be wise thing to
strike from the LETS as many amusements
as possible. It vas maintained that besides
being sinful they developed frivolous lives.
It was better not to have any youth than
to have that which enjoyed amusements
with keen relish. And SO generation
after generation grew up ignorant of all
games. They did not know how to aInuse
themselves, and had no faculty for amusing
others. Between themselves and their
children there was 4 great gulf fixed, so
tina: they could not pass over, There IS
now q reversal of this tendency. The in

HARD LIVING Ard YOUTH IN AGE.

The San Francisco Bulletin takes as a
text the remark shat there grow some men
and women who are never old, and adds
that while it is q fact, over against it Is the
still more striking fact that the world is
dllcl with rrematuraly old people Our
contemporary would have hit nearer the
exact truth had 1t thus phra-ed its "more
striking fact the world IS full Of people
who live too hard. That Is SAY the diff
ference between the people who are always
young, no matter what their years, and
those who are old and haegard when their
years should indicate their prime, Is pre-
cisely the difference between hard ana

takes all things seriously he with whom
trifies are Of momentous Importance who
is constantly apPFehensiye; who does what
he has to do with an overpIus of energy and

JOHN CODMAE's IDEA.

The Mormon religion, lac points out, IS 4

VERY few men have been more uncere-
moaiously handled ~ the press Of the
country than Rev. T Dewitt Talmage,
D. Z. No clergyman has been mere BIT
terry criticized or more frequently and
sharply taken to task by the secular press.
In the recent evangelical Convention,
where the great lights of .hc Protestant
Church were debating means Of closer
union, the question Of the secular press
and it's relation TO schemes Of religion
came up. Here was DR.. Talmage's oppor-
tunity. Had he been go minded. ne could
have scored the secular press 10 the bone.
and at least have secured before a most dis
tinguished audience a hearing for his
"grieyanccs" But Mr.. Talmage proved
to be wiser and more generous and far
seeing man than the secular press has given
him credit for being. He did not avail Of
the occasion to rail On the contrary, he
declared that if he preached the truth ne
had no cause to fear criticism; if he
preached error, it deserved exposure; that
the secular press gave him audiences in
excess by hundreds Of thousands Of those
his voice could reach. He recognized in
the press 3 mighty motor Of progress, and
one Of the greatest engines Of civilization.
With all It's record Of sin; with sill its
falsehood and venalitv; with all its po-
tency for evil, it remained the great ychi.
Gle Of thought mighty river Of intellect,
bearing upon its surface and in It's depths
TIE drift Of vice and crime and corruption
but all the while steadily sweeping on
to the bourdIess ocean Of intelligence and
culture ana progress, and bearing also
upon its bosom mighty influences for good
and the bette~nent Of the races Of men
These are not his words, but they indicate
the thought beneath the expression of the
big Drained man. Who shall hereafter
say that Taimage is the acrobat Of the
mere railer and cushion beatcr;
or who Of the press hereafter, 10 in tie
past, indulge in mean characterization Of
that order regarding this clergyman, who
exercises only the same right the press
claims, TO speak rs he thinks Of men, as he
sees them, and Of things as he believes
them TO be, and who has also the courage
to speak well of those who have assailed
him.
