WHO NhAteu 10 run away WITH me,
would not have one who would consent
to my lowering my self respect to that
point. No young man who looks at the
matter in the proper light, will feel like
pushing himself into a family where the
older ones do not want him. am very
sure that | would not visit u family at
whose home | was not welcome, and
am surer that would not force myself
as son-in-law into family where the
father and mother were opposed to it.
This is self respect, and when man
thinks that he is as good rs anybody
else's family, he is not going to make it
appear that he is not as good,
III he is not no has no bus
business to direct his attention that
way. The young man should haye been
shot on general principles whether he
mas or not.
Phoenix has had another comedy
actor in the person of Sidney Drew dur
the week l suppose it was success,
and that he did we'll in the line that he
followed to amuse his audience. l sat
for the two hours that the entertainment
lasted and watched it closely, and
must say that during that time l saw
neither wit or the point OF good moral
aud come to the conclusion that it was
only intended to amuse the people while
it was being played, and not to impress
any great moral or mental truths on the
hearers. laughed at it with the bal
ance OF the company but when | came
away | could not mention sinlge thing
that | had learned, nor remember a
single impulse that had been arouseed
that would ever benefit me in the least
This is said to be the telegraph age
the age of progress, and fast living, and
in many respects it is true; but there is
one thing in which the people do not
utilize the time, and the Inconsistency
is plain as a mountain. A boy attends
business college where he can only
get the rudiments of the language,
mathematics, and writing. lie does
this on the principle OF economy Of
time, and says life is too short to spend
in searching for Latin and Greek roots !;
still, when he has obtained his smatter-
ing of the few things he has attempted,
he spends days and days, reading
trashy, sensational novels. 1t would in
my opinion, have been far better to
have spent the time IN getting a college
education. There is not one college
man out OF ten, who reads these novels,
for the simple reason, that his education
has opened for him, a view, into the
true and legitimate field OF literature,
and he searches for the gems, and not
the scum.
These amusing plays that have no
other quality but that they do amuse
may well be compared to this kind Of
literature. think it about as well to
let tomorrow take care OF itself. to some
extent, but do not think the time
should be wholly wasted. 1t may be
so used that there is probability of a
return, and for that reason read those
things that will benefit you ii you tome
day get into position, and il you should
not get into position you will have the
satisfaction of knowing that you are in
formed, and that goes a long wav in
making up a mans opinion of himself.
1t is well enough for one to take the
world as it comes and | believe those
who do it get along much better than
those who fret and fame because things
go wrong. am unable to look at those
things in philosophical light though
wish could. 1t is very well to theor-
ize but when it comes to reaii',' very
few OF us can follow the theory.
Let's WOO the flying hours- -tndny,
hile hOpa to pi isRsure sings,
For who, alas, tonight can suy.
"What dim 10 morrow hrinz-?"
The futures but an empty dream,
The Past returne n never:
so WOO the Pr, seuTs giideC hcam.
And banish woe forever,
II truth and Kindness I'll youths hours,
Old age will ever pe
A garland oi al ition's hbwers,
Which love shat, Gull for the.
Then in the after glow OF years
when memory ,othes all strife,
Remembrance then can weep no tears
Forpesce shall crown thy life.
Improve thy flying hours today,
For time has winnowing wings,
And who, alas, tonight can say,
"What dim tomorrow brings?"
