SHALL BOYS 90 TO COLLEGE9
Some Are Fitted For Life, and Others AR
Unified by College Training.

Some Are Fitted For Life, and Others Are
United by College Training.
Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst, D. D., i'll
his paper to young men in The Ladies'
Home Journal, discusses "Shall Wo Send
Our Boy to College?" answering the
query with the assertion, ''That depends
great deal on the boy" He announces
himself to be u thorough believer in the
college, but holds that sit might not be
best for him (our boy) to go to college;
it might not be best for the community
that he should. College can fit a man
for life, and also it can unfit him.
There arc styles Of education that dis
qualify the student for doing what he is
competent to do, without qualifying
him to do that which he might like to
do, but for which he lacks and always
will lack the prerequisites. AS q general
principle, the more man knows the
BETTER but so long as the present order
Of things continues great amount Of
very ordinary work will require to be
done, and ordinary people will do ordi-
nary work better than extraordinary
people will and be great deal more
comfortable while doing it. Hordes Of
both sexes are entering college for the
reason that they do not enjoy doing
commonplace things Tho result is that
commonplace things are left undone,
and uncommonplace things fare still
worse. Agriculture is the material basis
Of nations strength and prosperity.
We could dispense with either lawyers,
doctors or ministers better than we
could with farmers.
Probably we should not quarrel SO
much if there were fewer students Of the
law, should not be sick SO much if there
were fewer students Of medicine, and
should not be so wicked if there were
fewer students of theology. All Of these
could contribute literally to the ranks
of the agriculturalists with advantage
to the professions and to the grain and
vegetable markets. I am not disparag-
ing anybody, neither am I saying that
it would not be good thing, in itself
considered, if every one, however ma.
terial or menial his occupation, could
receive all that tho finest school or col
lege training could confer, but that Is
not practicable at present and never will
be till people get over thinking that
there is a disgrace attaching to the do
ing of ordinary things"

A QUARREL ENDED.

She looked at him with quick surprise,
She looked at him with tear brimmed eyes,
Her tight closed hand no motion shaped,
No word her curling lips escaped.
His eyes We're bright, his voice was clear;
"IIe only said, ~ love you, dearp'
Her eyes were deep with nngor's hue.
They softened into tcnder blue.
The naughty curve hor lip forsook.
Her hand lay open on her book.
Then as he spoke he drew more near
And said again, IL love you, dcarl'
Where sweet lovo dwclls wrath cannot stay
Her smiles chased all the tears away.
She looked at him: 'Ah, do not fear.
l. too, can say, 4 love you, dear'
His smile replied, "Our hearts are near"
His words were STILL ~ love you, dearl'
Ah, when the fire of anger burns
And all life's sweet to bitter turns,
When eyes are flashing, lips close set,
Prepared to storm and to regret,
Then happy We if Greatheart near
Havo strength to say, ~ love you, dearl"

Old Coaching Days.

The old coaching days, as far Us con-
venience for travel was concerned, were
the dawn of the great days Of our pres
ent rapid means of communication. The
70 years or SO in which mail coaches
waxed and flourished and finally died
out before the incursion Of railways and
steam engines have decided flavor Of
romance attached to them, and no doubt
the coming and going Of stagecoaches
lent certain amount Of color and in
terest and life to the country places and
towns through which ran the great main
coaching roads, The Bath road, the
Dover road, the York road were shigh-
ways Of communication along which
rolled the heavy private coaches and
chariots of the country magnates, and
the stagecoaches with their steaming
horses passed the various stopping
places with the regularity Of clockwork
These stagecoaches, with their COM
plement of coachnlen and guards, af-
forded endless subjects of interest and
illustration to the artist and the literary
men of the day. Imagine Charles Dick
ems without stagecoaches and denuded
Of all his vivid descriptions Of the
scenes such as those in the yard Of the
White Hart inn, High street, Borough,
in "Pickwick, " or Of the mail coach Oh
the Dover road in "a Tale Of Two
Cities" It is difficult for the present
generation to realize the fatigue and
the wintry cold Of such long journeys,
when frozen feet We're enveloped In
little straw, and a "shawl" folded
round the neck was thought to be fit
protection against the keen night air,
strong contrast to the luxurious cush-
ioned carriages, hot water tins and fur
lined rugs and greatcoats Of the present
day.-London Spectator.

THEY SAT ON THE THRONE FOR SOME TIME.
He was also justiciary Of north Wales,
seneschal of the duchy of Lancaster and
chief of police on the north side.
His brother Clarence was successfully
executed for treason in February, 1478,
and Richard, without moments hesi-
tation, came TO the front and inherited
the estates.
Richard had stormy time of it up
to 1881, when he was made protector
and defender of the realm early in
May. He then proceeded with a few
neglected executions This list was
headed-or rather beheaded-by Lord
Chamberlain Hastings who rendered
his resignation i'll pail of sawdust soon
after Richard became protector and
defender Of the realm" Richard laid
claim to the throne in June, on the
ground Of the illegitimacy of his neph-
ews, and was crowned July 6. So was
his queen. They sat OH this throne for
some time, and each had scepter with
which to welt their subjects over the
head and keep off the flies in summer.

Waterbury bulldog, some one asked him
what he thought Of the dog as pet.
Richard drew himself up to his full
height and said that as a rule, he ia
vored the dog as a pet, but that the
man who got too intimate with the
common low browed bulldog of the fif-
teenth century would find that it must

Don't claim tho penalty.

That every day wo soe." -

Pay compliments on skill.
Don't miss this opportunity

So, when gaining, praise your partner;
