h;td no mana IN earning. Life seems
easy and merry to them. for they have
not been trained in the school of labor
and selt-sacrfice that their parents be-
fore them were. and that about all the
substantial men and women of the
country have been, and so they marry
and set up unhestatingly household
beyond their ability to support They
have no idea of the energy and push
required to win home of comfort in
these days Of corporate and political
greed and general extravaganza. How
should they know? They have not
seen their fathers oppose "bossism" or
treachery or corruption in high places;
they have not been led to know the ef-
fects of 4 mismanaged government on
the people, and how it makes the road
of the beginner hard one.
Their heads may contain ''loads of
learned lumber that they cannot turn
into bread, for there is too large a sur
plus of people trying that; they can
not work and plan to keep within
their means, for they have had no
practice in that line. Disaster, fail
ure, regret, broken hearts and broken
health loom upas the portion of many
worthy but misguided young man.
Oh, that the young would think on
these things more! Oh, that they
would apply themselves more diligent-
ly in youth, that they might be able
to slacken the reins in age and unjoy
the fruit of early effort! However
rich your parents may be, dear boys
and girls, they cannot do all for you.
They can leave you money, but not
ability to manage the estates you heir.
Their honored names will not be pass
ports for you; by your own fruits you
are to be known. They have used the
talents God gave them, and SO must
you. What curse is that wealth
which deprives the children of the
blessings Of labor; blessings that crop
out in the form of good health, long
life and abundance in basket and store
1t is so pleasant to work for our lit
tie ones, to make life smooth and hap
py for them; but when we lift all their
childish burdens, and make it easy fur
them in their young years, we are
making it hard for them in age. Youth
is the time in which to lay the founda-
ton for age to rest on.
If the home discipline was as thor
ough in its line as the military acad-
emy in training officers for our armies,
there would not be so many hapless
people unable to take care of them
selves. "Obey regulations, sir is the
watchword at these schools There is
4 time to get mp, a time to go to bed,
a time to study, time to eat, and Il
time to drill. Neatness and cleanli-
ness of body are demanded, coats must
be brushed, rooms most be in order,
even the way the wash-bowl and soap
are left is noted and reported; not Tho
least blemish in department or move
ment is passed over. Studies fewer
than in other colleges but more thor
Ough no carelessncss nor inattention
is excused. The man who is to lead
armies cannot be allowed to be care
less in anything. He must be a good
man, must go to church, and be rever-
ent there. Cadets cannot gamble or
drink Intoxicating liquors one code
of honor is absolute-every man must
be truthful. \ lie or subterfuge of
any kind will not only meet severe dis
cipline from the officers, but will de-
siroy the cadets standing with his fel-
lows. Oh, that we trained our child
rem at the family fireside as rigidly for
the duties that await them, as the
youths are trained for the army and
navy at West Point and Annapolis =
