deaths. Death, indeed, found these
young geniuses all afirc with inspira.
ton, and ardently longing to give ex.
preston to greater thoughts than they
had ever yet uttered.
If we turn from literature to politi.
cal life it is not surprising to see how
great ability, far from exhaustine
physical power, and wearing out its
possessor efore his time, seems actually
to sustain his vigor and lengthen Out
his days.
1t is true that Pitt died at fifty and
Gambetta at fifty-four. But where we
can point to an isolated instance, here
and there, Of man of political genius
dying before or in middle life. we find
long list of those who have grown
gray and bent in the heat of political
conflict. In our own time we have
seen Gortschakoff, man over eighty,
controlling the Russia Empire; Theirs,
man of seventy. seven, presiding over
the Frence Republic; the Emperor
William, man of eighty-tive. ruling
the newly-united Germany; Gladstone,
man of seventy-four, proving HIM
self the most vigorous Prime Minister
of England, in this century; and Won
Moltke, man of eighty, commanding
the German armies.
The vitality of genius, indeed, is far
more evident in the biography of the
world than. its destroying power. 1t is
rarely that poet or an author ex-
hausts himself in single work, or an
orator or statesman in single great
speech OF great legislative measure.
that such instances are quoted as curl
osities.
On the contrary, the rule seems to
be that man of genius is not only
likely to live long, but to go on produc-
ing, and maintaining his mental vigo-,
until he is overtaken by the shadows of
old age. Micheal Angelo was still a
great sculptor and architect at eighty
eight. Titan painted finely in his
ninety-ninth year. Victor Hugo, at
eighty-one, is still writing eloquent and
fiery stanzas. And in our own country,
the examples of Longfellow. Holmes,
Bryant, Whittier, Emerson and Irving
are enough to remind us how our lit
erature has been enriched by men who
have passed the psalmist's limit of
three score years and Youths

Genius and Long Life.

There is proverb which says,
s'Those whom the gods love, die
Young" 1t is sometimes inferred that
this means that men and women who
are in any way unusually endowed, are
usually short-lived. tits by no means
proved, however, that persons of ge-
MUS are any more apt to die young
than more prosaic people. There are,
of course, many instances of talented
men and women who have gone early
to their graves; and it is a somewhat
striking fact that thirty-seven has been
a fatal age to qui6e number of bril-
liant geniuses whose fame is still great
in the world. Byron, Shelley, Burns
and Raptel all died in their thirty
seventh year. On the other hand,
multitudes of instances may be cited
of men who, had they died before
their thirty-seventh year, would never
have been heard of by the world; and
multitudes of others who, while win
ming some degree of fame before that
age, greatly increase it in later years.
Goethe was surprising example of
this. Had he died at thirty-seven, his
fame would not have equalled that of
Schiller; the work he done in middle
life carried it far beyond that of his
German rival who died so much earlier.
If Milton had died at thirty-seven, we
should not have had paradise Lost.
At that age, George Elliot had not
written anything to contribute to the
great reputation she won at last.
We cannot doubt that the genius OF
Byron and Shelly, of Keats, Atherton,
and Henry Kirk White, was very far
from being exhausted at their early
McCook weekly tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 188?-1886, 1885-01-22
Past and Present.

I often wonder if the young men of
this day enjoy themselves as much as
we old folks used to when we were
their age. I sometimes think they do
not, because they pay more attention
to their dress than their pleasures,
and they seem to take their vices in
coarser draughts than their prede-
cessors in the flowery paths of youth
and riot. But this may be only the
bilious view of disgruntled philoso-
pher who regrets that the wine has
lost the sparkle of twenty years ago,
and one nights indulgence in the
delights of the table is followed by a
weeks active palpitation of the liver.
Positively one everyday young man
is a repetition of the other. They are
as much alike as Cinnamon. 1t is
difficult to tell them apart unless one
fellow has cast in his eye, limp, or
has broken nose. To me they look
as if the same tailor made their
clothes, the same bootmaker their
boots, and their hair and moustacnes
were trimmed by the same barber.
Their mannerisms have been acquired
by the same school, and their slang
studied from the same book They
tire me because l am old, and detest
a young fellow who cannot be original
in something-his vices even, if moth
ing else be left him.
The old crowd, the crop of gay boys
that fiourished twenty years ago, were
more independent. If one fellow app
pcared with long hair; his friend
would have.his cut short. If one in
vented and acquired an odd express
ion, oath or otherwise, his right to it
was respected. Nobody trespassed
upon his preserves, nobody borrowed
his property. His method of lighting
a eli ar. or lifting his hat, or wearing
his necktie was never copied by a
friend. Indeed, the man who could
not cut his own swathe. who had not
brains enough to devise popularity,
was barred from our circle.-The In.
gleSide.

1t requires no 1OCQ OF care curing tue
winter, which it sleeps away in its
"kettle,' alongside its bed-fellows,
until awakened by the warmth of a
spring sun. The rate at which this
fish grows is almost incredible.
AS two women were riding a few
days ago, in phaeton drawn by two
horses in the vicinity of Fort keogh,
Montana, the animals took fright at an
old buffalo skeleton lying on the
prairie, and dashed toward the bluffs
overhanging the Yellowstone river, all
the efforts of the occupants of the We
hicle to check them being in vain.
When within few yards the preci-
pice the ladies managed to leap from
the vehicle, and fortunately escaped
with few bruises. A few seconds later
the horses and phaeton went over the
bluff, the former being horribly mang-
led and the latter smashed to atoms
on the rocks below.
An echo from Marseilles: "You can
have no idea, you fellows here. how
rank the vegetation is in India. Now,

n. Y. Corr. of Baltimore sun.
Another question is frequently asked of
late &" Has not Wall street seen its best
days?' Thus the inquiry is put, aud the
questioner generally proceeds to answer his
own question by saying: /" Wall street
reached its zenith in 1851. The disasters that
have followed with such startling rapidity
ever since that period have unsettled public
confidence in Wall street 1t will take years
before the public will ever be induced in
large numbers to invest in stock eXchan ge
onerations. Stock speculation has seen its
best days. Take Jay Gould out of Wall street
and how little is left. There is to be an i'm
provement in business, of course, but Wall
street will share in it only to a limited eX-
tent.
The public will not soon forget the tragic
events of the past two years. They will not
forget how thousands of homes have been
wrecked, how regulations have been blasted,
how confidence has been destroyed by Wall
street and they will not forget that Wall
street broke the heart of General Grant and
fastened him into his grave"

From the West Point tGa) Press.
Six miles cast of West Point, in Harris
county, live two remarkable old people,
They are Benjamin Gamil and his wife, re-
spective'y 10 and 76 years of age. They are
now living on the same place that they took
possession of when their young hearts were
first united and they together started out to
fight the battle of life. During these long
years they have moved but once, and then
not more than halfa mile. Starting life in
poverty they worked together, and many
thousands of dollars have been the result Of
their combined efforts. Sober honest, and
hiSh-ninded, the old gentleman has lived to
good old age, and his good wife is still with
MN to shed light on peaceful homeland
they together realize that a merciful Father
Will not forsake his faithful children. Many
children blessed the union of this happy old
couple, eight of whom lived to reach manhood
and womanhood. The death of a son and SON
in-law placed six additional helpless children
under the care of this worthy old couple. and
they have lived to see nearly all of them
grown and able to take care of themselves.
Tongue cannot tell the anxiety, the labor, the
care that the rearing OF these children has
cost, Neither is it possible to tell the amount
IN dollars and cents it has required to supply
their many wants, but those who have had
the care of a family know that unusual pros

possession, and the dates alone show the
great age of the book. 1t has been carefully
preserved, and will no doubt be handed
down to grandchildren's children as relic
of rare value. few days since this venera-
BILE old couple passed through West Point
driving fine young mule, on their way to
visit son and daughter IN Alabama, 30 miles
from their home. The old gentleman does
his own blacksmith and wagon work, runs
