think we should Try to deYeope our talents III our
spare moments.
OF course there arc different ways to develope
different talents, just ones muscles may be de
yeoped either by saving or chopping wood, or
hocing in the garden, hut the time 20 improve is
when young: LAS the tWig is bent, the
trees inclined" Then the good old gospel song
says:
''Work, for the night cometh, when man works no
more
So, if we would accomplish anything in this
short lite, we had better prepare ourselves while
young. At best we may do very little:
81 Life is but piece of paper white,
On which each of us must write
His line or two,
And then comes Eight.'
Now, cousins, let us do better in 1894 than we
have ever done. l expect to subscribe to The Con-
stitution when my time expires.
