THE LOVE OF LIFE.

ContradIc ctions to which Even the Wisest
of Men are Liable.
Age, that lessons the enjoyment OF
life, increases our desire OF living.
Those dangers which in the vigor OF
youth we had learned TO despise assume
new terrors as we grow old. Our eau
ton increasing as our years increase,
fear becomes at last the prevailing
uassion of the mind; and the small re-
mainder Of life is taken up in useless
efforts TO keep of our end, or provide for
continued existence. Strange contra
diction in our nature, and TO which
eyen the wisest in life are liable! Ex-
perience tells me that my past enjoy
ments have brought no real felicity;
and sensation assures me that those 1
have felt are stronger than those which
are yet TO come. Yet experience and
sensation in vain persuade; hope, more
powerful than either, dresses out the
distant prospect in fancied beauty;
some happiness, in long perspective,
still beckons me to pursue; and, like a
losing gamester, every new uisaPPoinV
ment increases my ardor to continue the
game. Whence, then, is this increased
| love of life which grows upon US when
Il becomes scarce worth the keepingP Is
IL that nature, attentive to the preserva'
ton Of mankind, increases our wishes
TO live, while she lessons our enjoy,
ments; and, as she robs the senses oi
every pleasure, equips imagination In
| the spoils2 Life would be insupportable
TO an old man, who, loaded with inirm
tiles, feared death no more than wher
in the vigor Of manhood; the number

the consciousness Of surviving every
pleasure, would at once induce hin
with his own hand TO terminate th'
scene Of misery; but happily the con

Yes, yes; He got away And that makes
me sure that our departed loved ones
and we ourselves shall get away.
Freed Himself from the shackles
Of clod, He is not going to leave

out Of ourselves, but there Is .

Of "Father, is that you?" Mother,

smaller until it is no larger than a ship,
and smaller until it is no larger than

heaven at first appears no larger than

ADVICE TO SINGERS.
rhsy should KNOW Their Music and Not
Depend on Looking at IL.

They should Know Their Music and NOT
Depend on Looking at IL.
A writer in Western musical paper
Justly remarks that one thing that Is
yerv ant TO detract from the enjoyment
Of song Is the close manner In which
singers, in the majority Of cases depend
upon the music which they hold In their
hands. It is too often held in such
way as to give the impression that the
singing Of song was matter OF life
and death, and the singer clutches the
sheet Of music as "last hope" The
ewes are seldom raised from OF the mu'
sio except, perhaps, while singing the
last two or three measures, and then A.
II Il we're 9 great relief The singer can
not sing with the freedom necessary TO
give expression 10 the song and at the
sane time be bound TO the music. The
bearer likes TO see some signs OF feeling
exhibited by the face Of the singer.
AS the sentiment Of the song changes
nd should the face change. To accom-
piish this It is essential TO practice sing
ihR without . copy Of the composition
before you-commit both words and mu'
sic TO memory--then you will be able tc
sing as ifyou understood what you were
singing about, be able 10 give expression
70 the song and TO change the expires
sion OF the face, more or less. Above
ali, do not carry the same facial expres
sion through an entire song-this is ne
more correct than II Is 10 maintain thu
same quantity Of tone throughout

which lie beyond the dangerous bridge
On the bank of the stream. just on the
other end of the log. there always stand
six persons, who have reached the
happy hunting grounds, and who
throw sharp rocks at whoever attempts
to cross the treacherous log the moment
the middle of it is reached. Those who
have lived properly, according TO the
Indian idea of morals, have no trouble
in crossing the log; the stones fall harm-
lessly from them, and they reach the
@happy hunting grounds, where there
is perpetual day. without difficulty.
There the trees are ever green. the sky
cloudless. and the breezes always gently
blowing; there, too, a continuous feast
and dance are going on; the people never
grow old, but live forever and revel in
perpetual youth. The wicked, when
they attempt to cross the dangerous
bridge, can see the stones which are
thrown at Them and in trying to avoid
them they will fall from the giddy height
into tie awful gorge thousands of feet
below the slippery log; where rushing
boiling stream is tumbling over the
great sharp rocks, filed with dead fish
and animals which are continually
brought around to the same Place by the
eddies and whirlpools There all the
trees are dead, the waters infested by
poisonous snakes, toads, and other re-
pulsive looking reptiles. the dead are
always hungry, but have nothing to eat;
are always sick. but never die. There is

The mnrvard Athlete.

The athlete in recitation is very
amusing. When he enters some adj
mirer usually whispers his confidante:
look at -. isn't he dandy9" The
athlete always looks too large for his
chair in the class room. You wonder
why it does not break down. The book,
too, seems all ou; of place in his big
hands. and pencil looks positively
funny as he handles it He wears an
air of patronage as if intellectual pur-
suits were well in their way. and a
thing To be encouraged. even interest
ing on occasions. but just little un-
worthy a man of muscle.
He likes to stretch out his big limbs,
and watch them in repase, knowing how
much they can do when occasion re-
quires. The professor even defers TO
him little, unable to refuse his in-
stinctive homage topower-even though
it be physical. When he strolls across
the yard men look out of their windows
after him. He is pointed out to the
young lady visitors, and the fair Great
llres look with awe on the god like be-
ing whom they have seen battling in
mud aud gore for the honor of Harvard
in the superhuman fashion
The athlete during his season of activ-
ity does not study much. He has to re-
serve his energies for physical effort.
He can neither smoke nor drink About
all that is left him is to talk athletics,
aud for this purpose he can get plenty
of listeners. Bat when o'clock in the
afternoon comes then he is in his ele-
ment. And from to he tolls away
like young giant.
