fit him for. Assuming that they are of the
best, and that he attains important place
and high distinction, are the rewards sutfi
cient to justify the struggles and sacrifices
involved? AS a general rule they are not.
The salaries of public officials are incense
q~uential. They are seldom sufficient to pay
expenses. The honors are all that is left.
Nine times out of ten they are feeting and
unsatisfactory. However attractive they
may appear, when far removed, they almost
always dwindle and disappoint on near APP
proach, so that if one only had words of
appreciation and encouragement, he would
be underpaid; but when instead of words
of appreciation and encouragement he is
criticised, lied about, and abused, held up
to ridicule, and subjected to detraction and
disparagement, the reward is poor indeed.
And yet men go on pursuing these delusive
hopes and seeking these unremunerative
rewards. Why, TO one can exactly tell, ex-
cept upon the theory that hope springs eter-
nal in the human breast. 1t is bad today,
but we hope it will be better tomorrow.
