AGONIES OF SOCIETY.
The Woes of a Shy Man in u Modern
DraMing.K .Koom.
lfys. John Sherwood IN Ne,o York World.

Ms. John She57oood IN Nei0 YORK World.
Women are seldom troubled with shy
ness at the age at which men suffer most
Perhaps that and the talent for writing
letters and fluency in talking are Ma
ture's compensations for making them
the weaker vessel. Cruel are those
women, and most to be reprobated, who
laugh at bashful man. 1t is the higher
order of human beings whom bashful-
ness attacks. 1t is the precursor of many
eXcellences, like the vigil of the knight,
and if it is patiently and bravely borne
the knight is thrice hero.
II is this recollection which can alone
sustain the bashful man under his suffer
ings. No rule is without an exception;
shy men have often become very at.
tractive men of society. The first refuge,
though, of the bashful of either sex is
repellant-they assume an air of hautcur.
1t is natural fcRCe, convenient armor,
and many man and many woman has
fought her battle behind it through life.
No doubt it has been the armor of many
so-callcd cold person.
But some people are so deficient in
sympathy that they seem to be built up
in moral plaster cast. Perhaps there is
fountain, well-spring of good feeling
hidden underneath We do not see it.
They may be tropical natures within, but
we do not penetrate the ice. The suffer
ings of the shy would fill volume, 1t is
nervous seizure for which no part of
our organization is to blame. No one can
reason it away. One can endure. Some
people, finding the play not worth the
candle, give up society and the world;
others go on and suffer, becoming cool
veterans who fear no tea party, however
overwhelming it may be.
The sulrerings of n shy man at a
musical party are worldTenowncd. He
has to stand, the others being seated.
He may hate music, particularly a
pianoforte solo. lie stands first on one
leg, then on the other. His boots are too
tight; he wishes he had worn the old
Ones for nobody looks at him. Yes,
there is young creature comfortably
seated not far from him who is looking
at him, he fears, critically.
If we were taught as were the ancient
| Greeks how to make every muscle obey
the brain, we should be much safer from
the dreadful agony of bashfulness.
Another agony in society is in the tenn
perature of rooms. They are either so
hot as 10 be sitting or so cold as to be
uncomfortable. The habit of heating the
house with furnace, and then opening
window on somebody's back, is cruel
| one. 1t has cost many woman cold
which might prove fatal.

IN THE LINE OF DESTINY.

Just now the tendency of our people is
TO extend their trade to the countries of
their own hemisphere We are looking
TO the establishment of lines of travel and
commercial communication to the un-
developed and remote parts of our own
country and through the possessions of
our neighbors. We are helping to build
railroads through Mexico, through Cen
tral America, through Brazil and many
other countries TO the South of us.
We are interested in the construction
of great ship canal that shall join the
Atlantic and Pacific, and thus throw the
great current of East and West commerce
nearer to our borders and put it more
nearly in our control. We talk Of an
nexing Canada; we dream of uniting all
North America under one flag and one
government. In other words, as our
strength and greatness increase, we feel
disposed to have the entire continent
enjoy the advantages of the same form of
government and the same principles of
trade that have enabled us to so far out
strip all other continental competitors.
The Constitutional Centennial to be
held here next year is exactly in this
line. We wish TO meet and celebrate
this centennial ourselves, and we wish
sister nations to join with us in this our
great national jubilee. 1t will not be
the jubilee of king, or a queen, or
prince, but the jubilee of nation Of more
than GO,O00,000 free people. Especially
do we desire that the thirteen or four.
teen republics of North and South
America who have modelled their con-
stitutions and forms of Government after
ours shall como and see what we have
done-see the fruit of the great parent
Constitution, and rejoice with its willing
subjects.
Following that would logically come
the proposed Columbus Exposition of
1892. 1t would be another step forward
in the development of the policy of ma
tional destiny. The Constitutional Cen
tennial of 50 will bring here the repre-
sentatives of all North and South Amer
lean nations, aud it would be q most
timely and fitting prelude to a resplen-
dent exhibit of the material results Of
the progress made in national wealth; in
art, science, education and all industrial
pursuits. Such an exposition held, as it
ought to be, at the nations capital, would
do more to establish better commercial
and social relations between the peoples
of the Western Hemisphere than all
otber oppurips combined

THE DIFFERENCE

The Methodist Preachers A ssociation
of Columbus, Ohio, have adopted reso-
luton strongly condemning the 'pro-
posed expenditure of nearly 800, 900 for
the purpose of initiating the follies of
European courts" in the coming inaugu-
ration of President-elect Harrison. They
ieclare that such an expenditure tends
the "corruptirg of the simplicity of
'epublican principles" and encourage
"pageantry" and extravaganza" The
Inauguratil ball is designated as a
'relic OF t.barism."
Our ministerial friends are not for
tunate in comparing the expenditures
for the inauguration to the extravaganza
of European court pageants. Every dol
lar that is expended on Presidential in
auguration Is subscribed by private in
dividuals. No custom in America more
clearly marks the Democratic character
and entire simplicity of our political in
stitutions than that of raising money to
pay the cost of suitably inaugurating the
President.
In all European courts all such dis
plays are paid for out of the public treas
ury and therefore by the people.
There is where the difference, the
deep, wide and distinguishing difference,
comes in that the Methodist preachers OF
Columbus seem to have lost sight of al
together.
