ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.
asuslNrss' IS NOT by Any MEANS
THE CHIEF AIM IN LIFE.

uoware Of superGuous Friends.
Here are some extracts Of William
winters address before the Staten Island
academy
What will You do with your lives;
We, who are older, who have lived long
o. and travelled further, are usually
r.nly enough with our counsel; but It Is
yonr ideal that must lead you now. and
not the advice Of others. Honor and
truth we take for granted. 81 would be
yiriuous." said an old philosopher,
Utnon.fh no one were TO know IL, just as
/ would be clean, though no one were to
zee me-"
The book Of commonplace precept
need not DO opened here. Yet there is
one word Of counsel which now moro
than cyer-in this Pagan age Of denial
and democracy ought to 10 spoken to
tbe youth Of America. Dc yourselves,
and never abandon your noble aspira-
tionsl
You cannot live in absolute indepond.
.nce Of the world. You must have
affiliations with other persons. But 1t Is
NOT imperative that those affiliations
,bonld be- numerous, and you have It
within your power TO mako them select
you are under no obligation to initiate
Others or to do rs others do.
You ought never TO permit your
minds to be- inundated with tho igno-
rance. the crudity and tho vapid chatter
ol commonplace persons DO not too
much reverence tho past. Old burdens
that have rolled from tho shoulders Of
weary and dying men and women should
not be taken up again by you.
II Is your life that you must live; It IA
not theirs: and now that they rest from
their labors let their works follow them.
Neither must you suppose yourselves en-.
i1iuod to assume the burdens that other
persons have created In the present day.
AVOID TOO MANY FRIENDS.
Let those attend TO grievances who
have them. aud do not allow your spirits
10 bo detected your hopes darkcned and
your lives encountered with the vices,
Inc errors, the follies and the weakness
Of failures aud Of fools. Il is, no doubt.
r.Hable and dcplorablc that failures and
fools should exist aud suffer; but they
must not be permitted, merely because
they exist and suffer, to drag you also
