THE LAST SHALL BE FIRST.
WALTER w. SKEAT.

WALTER w. SkEAT.
Who would not haste to do some mighty thing.
If safe occasion gave it to his hand.
knowing that at its close, his name would ring,
Coupled with praises, through a grateful land?
Who would not hear with JOY some great command,
Bidding him dare to earn glorious name?
The task is easy that secures us fame.
But, ah! how seldom comes the trumpet call
That stirs the pulse and fills the veins with flame,
When victory asks fierce effort, once for all,
And smiling fortune points a way to fame
Along some path of honor, free from blame.
To one, the call to do great deeds speaks loud
To one, amid a vast unhOnOred crowd.
Far otherwise the common lot of man,
Our hourly toll but seeks the means to live;
Our dull. mOnOtOnOus labor knows no plan
Save that which stern necessity doth give.
Our earnings fill an overlooking sieve;
Our task fulfilled another still succeeds,
And brief neglect brings overgrOwth of weeds.
What wonder, then. if suffering men repine,
And hopelessness gives way to mad despair?
Some murmur at yea. curse the scheme divine
That placed them where the saws of fretting care
Across their brows deepening channel wear,
For them, no springtide speaks of hope renewed,
But changeless wintry skies above them brood
oh. fools and blind This world is not the goal,
But shapes us for larger world unknown;
The vilest slave that keeps patient soul
Shall yet rank higher than the sensual drone
Who seeks to please his worthless self alone.
If humblest toll be hardest, yet be sure
He most shall merit who can most endure

For The Mirror.
Stray Thoughts.
The devil always feels most at home in
the dark.
The lazy man aims at nothing and gener-
ally hits it,
How easy it is to admire people who
agree with us.
Friends are won by kindness and lost
through carelessneSs and neglect.
1t is easier to run with the crowd than it
is to walk by yourself.
What some men lack in courage they try
to make up in noise and bluster.
People who blow their own horns do not
always furnish the best of music to other
people.
Those who live in the dark never have
any trouble in proving to their own satisfac-
tiOn that there is no sunlight.
True contentment depends not on what
we have. A tub was large enough for Di-
Ogenes. but world too little for Alexander.
1t is mistake to expect to receive well
come, hospitality, words of cheer. and help
over the rough places in life, in return for
cold selfshness.
No life is so strong and complete.
But it yearns for the smile of friend.

Robert j. Burdette thus explains mod

Robert j. Burdette thus explains modern
ways: THE fact is, my boy. we try to make
people good by law, because that makes it
much easier for us. We are too mean and
lazy to work with people and so we say,
you'll either be good or I'll kill you.' It's
ten times. thousand times less trouble
and expense to kill bad man than it is to
make good man out of him. The best man
who ever lived never scolded sinner or
sent criminal to Jail in all his life; and his
last act was to bless rObber; and he had
to live and work misunderstood. doubted.
mistrusted. maligned and finally cruciied
by the people he came to help, before his
work among men began to bear fruit.
And there aren't many of us who care to
work that way. Too much trouble. Takes
too much time. And There's no glory in
it. And it's too hard work-it's all killing
hard work. And so We take the easier
chute.

What Was 1t?

In many of the newspapers which have
read within the past two months have no.
ticed all the way from half column to a
column and half devoted to supernatural
phenomena, or in other words. to the SUBJ
ject of ghosts, ghostly visitations, etc.
understand from various sources that the
subject has become an absorbing One-in
fact so much so that some of the leading
magazines both in this country and Europe
have. by exhaustive articles contributed by
men and women of genius, created no small
excitement among the reading public and
those inclined to fathom the mysterious.
have never seen any of these magazine
articles. and am therefore unable to form
any idea as to the learned conclusions ar.
rived at by the various writers and critics.
should have been very much pleased to be
able to have read upon the subject as some
one of the many articles might possibly
have touched on, or explained away, the
mystery attending the strange incident am
about to relate.
When father died. upon the urgent solic-
itation of mothers brother, we moved to
his place of residence. Uncle. for reasons
of his own, was bachelor. but different in
marked degree from that genus homo in
that lie was paSSiOnately fond of children.
and it was not an uncommon sight to see
trOOping behind him in winter a flock of
little ones trying with all their might and
main to step directly in his large footprints
(he was feet incheS) which was no easy
task. His residence was very pleasant
one and the summer found the same
youngsters, increased in numbers tOddling
and scampering along to his orchards where
he would regale them with fruit and stories
when they got tired romping. He seemed
to us youngsters to be in the very enjoy
ment of health, straight as an arrow, digni-
fed in manner and always pleasant of
speech. Nothing in bis appearance or &C.
tiOnS suggested other than long and useful
life. 1t was only years after his death that
we learned he was subject to heart disease.
One morning when l brought him his
mail he told me. after reading one letter. to
60 for mother. When she arrived he handed
her foreign letter from which she learned
of the death of her father while travelling in
Europe. Uncle suggested that she go to
p to notify her brothers and also to
take advantage of her visit to renew old
acquaintance whom she had not met for
years. At first she hesitated. but uncle
said he would look after us-so she yielded.
locked up the house and started for the
train, after leaving my brother, then three
years old, in uncle's charge. This was on
Saturday. Mother was not expected to re.
turn for two weeks. On Saturday after.
noon the children had grand. good time
and uncle several times during the evening.
after tea, when my sister. brother and my.
self were in his study, spoke of death. but
yet in such an off hand, CHEEKY way that we
did not think he could in any manner have

should be quite as we'll off as We are now.
My correspondent often begins with the
remark. that he has nothing to cOmmuni-
cate. Then why in the world did he write?
Why has he covered four pages with speci-
mems of poor chirOgraphy, which cost him
an hour to put upon paper, and us as much
time to decipher? He sends me news which
was in the papers week ago; or specula-
tions upon it, which professional journalists
have already surfeited me with. He talks
about the weather past, present, and to
come. He serves up, with piquant sauce.
occurrences which he would not have
thought worthy of mention at his own
breakfast table. He spins out his two or
three facts or ideas Into the finest and
1imsiest gOssamer;" or tucks them into a
postscript, which alone. with the formula,
should have been forwarded. He writes in
large hand, and resorts to every kind of
device to fill up his sheet, instead of taking
up the manly course of writing only so long
as he had something to say. or. if anything
of keeping silence. A kindly sentence or
two may redeem the epistle from utter
condemnation; for love. according to Solo.
mon, makes dinner of herbs palatable.
q
would have answered as we'll.
My readers have not. 1 trust. misappre-
hended my meaning and lost patience with
me. l would not be understood as express
ing preference for description of letters
over another. Every person to his tastes
and his talents. But letter. which does
not represent the writer's real mood, reflects
what is uppermOst in his or her mind, deals
with things and thoughts rather than with
words, and expresses, ifnOt STRENGTHENS, the
peculiar ties between the person writing
and the person written tO-a letter which
is not genuine-is no letter. but sham and
lie. A real letter, on the other hand,
whatever its topic, cannot fail to be worth
reading. Great thoughts. profound specu-
latiOns. matters of experience. bits of Oh
servatiOn. humorous criticisms on people
and things. funny stories. dreams of the
future, memories of the past. pictures of
the present. everything, nothing, may form
the theme. if naturally spoken of. not
hunted up to fill page.
Am l told, that, until these ideas find
general acceptance it is dangerous to act
upon them? that for an individual here and
there to go out of the common course is
only to make himself notorious. stranger
or a bore to his friends? Were such state
ments true. they would still be cOwardly.
We should be faithful to our convictions of
what is due to truth and manhood and self
| respect. be the consequences what they
may. Because few are so, the world
moves. The general voice always comes
in as chorus to few particular voices:
AS for friends who cannot appreciate in
dependence of character or of conduct, the
fewer one has of them-the better.
