H. Pleasant Side of Life. !.
A young man addresses to Edward W..
Box the query; why is 1t that in so
many cases, might almost say the ma
jority Of cases, quiet, we'll behaved,
earnest minded, religious. young mans
seriousness is ignored by so many girls
(between 16 and 20), and the company of
giddy, idle, senseless youths preferred %
and in the July Ladies' Home journal
editorial reply is made. Mr.. Box con-
tends that girls at that age take few
things seriously, and are not given to
looking upon the serious side Of life; that
only the bright, pleasant side attracts
them ''It is only natural that to girl
OF such an age the young man Of bright
conversation, fippant and meaningless
though that talk may be, has an indefn
able attraction. She would far rather
have it that he can dance we'll than that
he can recite Emersin to her. It is the
dancing time of her life, and not the
Emersonian period. She is apt to notice
mans clothes more than his character.
She likes the man better who pays her
pretty compliment than the one Who says
something serious. The young
man who pays her graceful attentions is
pleasing to her: she does not seek to pen
citrate beyond the mere compliment. And
why should she? Young men are simply
ore form of her amusement; she does not
take them any more seriously than she
does anything else, The young man OF
presentable appearance, who dresses well
and has command of the small talk OF
society, is her girlish Jack-in- tEe-box.
ott ha ouSh tho
he flatters her, the better she is apt to
like him. The earnest young man who
has ambition, who studies and learns,
whose talk is sensible rather than light,
is bit tiresome to her, She may admire
his high purposes SO far as she can grasp
them. She may respect him, But it she
is going to party she does not want his
company. She passes hiyn by fer the
other fellow who is graceful In the dance.
And Is she to- be blamed or to be censured
for this? Not bit Of it, While she is
girl she does as natural healthy girl
should: she lives her years OF enjoyment
and gets as much pleasure out of them as
she can. For this she is girl. But If he
will watch her after she counts her years
with the figure two he will observe that
slowly but surely a process of gradual
development takes place in the girl
whom he believed to be without thought
or reason. And equally sure will be his
discovery that the companion OF her
dances is not so eagerly welcomed by her
as once he was. He will then gradually
discover that the girl is not the light
minded butterfly that he thought her to
be. She becomes interested in other
things; conversations which bored her
year or two earlier now begin to have
some meaning for her. She begins to
regard the internal value Of things. She
looks at young men from a different
standpoint. The young man who can
simply dance we'll does not represent
the same thing to her. She begins to
look for something else in the young men
who come to her. The woman has sim
ply begun to develop; the girl is ceasing

Tho whippoorwtlls in the twilight flew;
The black haws down. in the timber grew
The hornets nest in the locust tree,
Thedewberry patch 80 dear to me,
Over the hilltops crowned with pine
When I was hoy, boy Of nine.
The elder buSl, Tor the air pop gun,
Grew where the bright spring waters run,
And the swimming hole where We used to
dive,
One Of the best Of four or five,
A-down the stream winding line
When was a boy, a boy Of nine.
The hollow tree at the foot of the hill,
We struck with sticks and rocks until
Out of the top the old owl few.
Dodgtng the pebbles and clods we threw,
AS he sailed away In the bright sunshine
When was g. boy, a boy Of nine.
Beneath the elm with the hollow stump
Twas kick the picket Of hop-step- jump;
Town ball. of else 'three-cornered cat, ''
With bail Of yarn and an oak board bat;
When we went to school in the summer
fine
And I was boy, a boy Of nine.
Twenty ears have passed since then,
The boy OF nine now walks with men,
And III his dreams he sometimes still
Hears the cry OF the whippoorwill;
He would give worlds and not repine
To be again a boy of nine.

I cannot say, and 1 will not say
That he is dead-he is Just away.
With a CHEEKY smile an da wave OF the

He has wandered into an unknown land,
And left us dreaming how very fair
It must needs be, since he fingers there.
And you-oh, you--who the widest yearn
For the old-ttne step and the glad re-
Think os him as faring on, as dear
In the love OF there as the love, Of here.
Mild and gentle as he was brave,
When the sweetest love Of his life he gave
To simpler things, where the violets grew,
Pure as the eyes they were likened to.
The touches Of his hands have stayed
AS reverently as the lips have prayed;
When the little brown thrush tht harshly
chirped
Was dear to him as the hooking bird;
And no pitied a. much as man In pain
"A WRITING honey bee wet with rain.
Think OF him still the same, say;
He is not dead-he is just away!
