Present-Day Thoughts.
BY "NEMO."
{ Written for the Citizen.)

For Young Men:-FOr yonder
pup the world was first rounded
out by the limits Of the kennel.
where the good things of life
reached him without effort and
were acccnted without question.
Then came days Of loose iointed
roaming, and at last a bark of his
own and Il burst of wild freedom,
About that time his troubles be-
gan; for having teeth he startt d
to use them'and having the i'm
pulse TO destroy he Yielded to it.
His idea that the world is only
for his amusement and that rugs
and shoes are designed by provi-
dence for whetting teeth will soon
be diSpelled.
The power to do by no means
.'uStifieS Il deed. AtthiS poiat all
sorts OF things go aStray; and at
this point also their Sufferings he
gin. 1t is a hard lesson, but a
necessary one, that powers seem
principally given to us in order
to be curhed instead of indulged.
The philosophy of modern prog.
resS is that puppies must he tanned
into useful dogs and wild boys
into thoughtful men. Were II
not so tie boys would slip back
to Savagery and the dog become
an OutcaSt. The more we insist
on having our own way, as if the
whole world was made for us, the
worse time are we going to have.
There he goes now to hide q
bone which he has picked, and
that really has no mortal use to
which he can put it. 1t is all
very well to explain that this is
due to ancestral memory dating
back to the time when dogs were
wild and tOOt. scarce. Yet, never.
theleSs, we call him silly; and
wisely too, for there are more
bones where that came from and
they will not be clean picked
either. To every day its bone
and to every dog its day, so why
should he bury for future use
that which has no use? The PROV
idence that rules over dogs is not
diSsimilar to that which hovers
over men. 1t is well enough to
guard against a rainy day, but it
is foolish to bury worthless things
to meet it. The best preparation
is to use things as they come,
and from them get the strength,
not to turn back and gnaw over
the past, but to go forward to use
the things that are yet to be.
Live right, live wisely, and an
other day will bring another bone.
And, by the way, some of us
place reliance on such picked
bones as "great Descent" dead
bones, all of it. Silly puppies.
Some pups delight in the un-
cleanly. They revel in corrup-
tion and they have their reward
for they are driven forth into the
chilly purifaction of the outer air,
leaving behind them the simple,
pleasant comforts to which they
were blind when they might have
seen. No longer may they proud
ly gambol along in good com.
pany, but stunning and detesta-

yOu say? OF course, but nature
is not in all things safe guide.
Bless your soul, impulse is rather
a thing TO he questioned than to
follow. Too true in the direction
of those impulses, strong, insiS-
tent, inbred and eXacting, whose
power we all know and whose eX-
cuSe is that they are natural.
But, and the but is tremendous
in its import, the way of such
impulse is the way to isolation
from the things that are the
sweetest and dearest aud best.
Puppy'S scent is keen for un-
cleanliness and lie can always
find it if lie seeks, until the world, +,
his world, is rounded out by j..
There is no need to draw the par
allel save in the SketchieSt fash,
iOn; for he that hath eyes to read
can see. Evil is here III the world
and those who seek find: good is
likewise here and much of it, but
they who seek evil find no good,
and the further they go less
chance have they to return. Soap
will cleanse and a chain cOnfine
the dog, but no soap ever yet
touched the unclean spirit and its
chain is not one thar holds it back
from evil, but that binds it down
where good is hard to reach.
The way of return to flower
strewn paths is set thick with
thornS OF the anguish and of the
loneliness that comes from know
ing that the wrong way was
chosen. Compared with this
problem, that of the betOuled pup
is simple.
What the little canine cannot
understand he barkS at. lie
wastes his breath upon the great
round moon so long that morning
drives her away. Lo, the barking
did it. Not a little bit my Saucy
puppy. Your voice sounds in
your own ear very majestic but
the moon never heard you. She
gave way to the mighty day Of
perfect light and not to a narrow
minded cur.
How like some two legged pup
pies. Great facts that were facts
before our gambolS began and
will be facts after our last whine
is uttered come looming up be-
fore us and are too great for us to
fully understand. But nothing
being to vast for argument, at a
certain stage of puppy develope-
ment we straightway bay Il d
mouth against the fact. Granlly
d0 we utter ourselves. The par
tial light of one truth may melt
into another more perfect, but it
is not our noise that does ii. \
fact is a fact and no barking will
ever prevail against it. Words
from milk teeth mouths will not
undo the faith OF ages. Nor is it
likely that the power Of faith in
the unseen and eternal is after
vanqui>hing dynasties and up
roofing Kingdoms, itself to he
vanquiShed by the clamoring of
those who, being unable to under
stand, bark; and who being una
BILE to think deeply, merely cla-
NOR.
