MAupllN SYMPATHY.
The silly Feeling of Society for Criminals
and Ne'er-Do-wells

and Ne'er-Do-Wells.
The most serious question modern
society has to front is the practical dy-
ing out of sympathy with the natural
penalties man has drawn down on his
own head. This is evident enough in
criminal matters, but the case is worse
yet because so much more far-reaching,
in domestic training and in the indi-
vidual mans honest dealing with him.
self and his own faults of character and
voices of nature. AS soon as any one
nowadays begins TO experience the suf-
ferings entailed by his own folly, self
| ishness or wrong-doing, he forthwith
yearns after sympathy with his woe.
He must lie on the sofa and have
his forehead bathed by tender
hands with cologne. No distasteful
| allusion must be made TO what
a dOlt, craven. brute. a
/ knave he has shown himself to be. The
\ tragic effect must be pitied; the idle
cause must be ignored. True, he killed
his own chance in life and got himself
| turned out of his situation by his in
capacity or neglect; but then, his posi-
| ton as an orphan is so distressing that
it would be cruel to suggest that he will
have to set hard to work 10 recover
character 70 fit himself for another sit
uation. Around him flock tender-hearted
cousins. sisters and aunts incapable of
seeing any thing but how the thing
hurts, and so coddling him 10 the emas-
culating feeling that he is the victim of
cruel fate.
Just here lies the difficulty of all at
tempts at invigorating the human will
in this hly-philosophical generation.
Boys and girls, young men and young
women, urge the plea, II am not by
nature energetic, hopeful, self-con-
troled, and what mott just see how

1t is high time that all this kind of
stuff were snubbed, ridiculed, or, if
need be. whipped out of children and
grown people and that they should be
taught to take the penalties of their de-
fects of quality gamely. No one will
ever amount to any thing till he learns
to say: Every time / act like fool l
