The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1897-10-07

Live largely! Let life's current flow
Like genro flood from winter snow
Full, swift, and strong, nor lightly bent
By any small impediment.
The narrow mind is like the stream,
That sparkles bright in summers gleam;
But tiny rock or fallen tree
Will check its journey towards the sea.
Wherefore look wide, and learn to live
On heights which true prospective give,
SO nothing trivial shall hide
The clear horizon stretching wide.
Lift up your heads, o ye ostriches!
Peep out with blinking eyes from be-
hind your fads and your foibles. Raise
your heads on high where they belong
and then look at life as a whole, with
a due sense of proportion, impossible
before when you were so near the
ground. What do you learn? That
no one cares for you, so long as you
care only for yourself; that the love
of your fellows is bought with a price
a great price whose chief pearl is your
own self-forgetfulness; that the soul
self-centered has no part in a civiliza-
tion that is only made of things gained
by brain and Drawn and then thrown
into the common fund of humanity.

PROSPERITY and business activity
began the moment a Republican
President and protective Congress
was elected. Was it mere luck
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1897-10-07

THERE is something of contrast
between conditions under the McKin-
ley administration and those under
the Cleveland administration. 1t is
but a short time since President
Cleveland was selling bonds to bring
gold into the Treasury, while now the
Mckinley administration is actually
rejecting offers of gold which come to
it from various parts of the country.

Thou fashionable woman, hiding
thy nakedness behind frumperies that
change with the changing day; CON
tenting thyself with a world limited
by patterns and rounded out by
tlOunces; thou art also among the Os-
triches. Prinking and pruning and
philandering, covered with the pro-
duets of creatures more gentle, and
with flowers more fair than yourself,
you go your way as though the body
were more important than the mind,
neglectful Of the fact that the mind
adorned and the spirit sweetly and
gently cultivated will last long after
the skin has wrinkled and the eyes
have lost their sparkle. Compared
with the fabric of your mind, your
body is but basting thread. Yet be-
hind a contemplate hillock of clothes
you bow your beautiful head until
you no more see the wide world of
noble womanhoOd to which your are
surely called. How selfish you arel
Your father needs must deck you
though his aged head calls for rest;
you cry, give, give, ''to both father and
husband not that you may make any
return either to them or to the world.
You circle around yourself, you ad-
mire yourself, and get pleasure in
humbling those less gorgeous. Do
you call that Ii0ing? Can you by any
stretch of your perverted mind satisfy
yourself that your powers were given
YOU Just to fulfill the function of a
dress form. If that were all, bent
wires with cilicia covering could fill
your place in the world. Silly ostrich,
when the avenger reaches for you,
and your place knows you no more
forever, what will you leave? Clothes.
whereat even the servants will flout
in a little while. Upon my soul, life
is not worth the effort of living, if
that is all it can be made to bring
| forth.
