The Great Wrong of Incrusting Our
Young with Artificial Training.
There are some persons inlthe world who
are special fevortes among all who know
them, who find OF mako friends every.
where, whose company every one enjoys.
and from whom every one Is loath to sepa-
rate. Their frank and easy manners inspire
confidence at first sight and one numbers
snem as friends almost as soon as one has
made their acquaintance. No one Is ever
mot at home to such a man; his visit is
anticipated as pleasure, and no one feels
disposed to part with him without the cor
dial inquiry, "Whon shall we see you
again" There Is an exubcrance of happy
life about him which seems TO diffuse It.

1t is refreshing amid the cold conven-

men OF heart or TO see in any one devel-
opments of naturalness. He must be mis-
anthropo indeed who can witness without

two friends at an unexpected meeting after
a long absence What mutual pouring
out OF soul, as it were, is there on both
sides What an infectious gladness Is that
which beams on their countenances. Who
