A Four-Year College Course is Not Away.

professor Henry Van Dyke, in Success.)
There is general impression that, un-
less would-be student spends four years
in college, and is graduated with degree,
! his education is incomplete. This is a
narrow view Of the matter. OF course it
| is best, as rule, for boy or girl to take
the complete general course, especially if
it is undecided as to what ones future
work is to be. Many a young man. how
ever, has to begin work as a stenographer
or as a clerk at an early age. He is not
content in occupying a humble position
all his life, and is ambitious, perhaps, to
enter one of the professions. Most of his
friends will tell him that it is impossible,
unless he goes through college. He does
not feel that he can afford to spend four
years in doing that, and gives up in de-
spair; when, if he only knew it, two-year
special course might furnish him with just
the equipment he needs. 1t is even pOssi-
BILE to take special course and continue
working at the same time. There are sew
eral young men at Princeton who are
working their way through and fitting
themselves to occupy high places in the
world. They know what they want to fol-
low as professions, and in two years they
are able to tit themselves for their chosen
work.
As an instance might mention young
For four years since he was seventeen he
had been employed on one of the New York
daily newspapers. He had become dssat-
isfied with the hack work which was given
him to do, and determined to prepare for
something better. He came to me to find
out how long it would require to take
course in literature and languages which
would benefit him. l showed him that in
two years he could get the best Of the col
lepe cOrrSe along those lines and he is
going to begin work next Fall. He is
earning good living at present, but he is
willing to earn less for two years that he
may earn more in the future. 1t is an in
spiration for him to take these studies
while he is still young, and these two years
of study will be the best investment he
could make of his time and the money he
has saved. He will have an opportunity
to do some writing while at college, and
possibly he will be able to pay his way as
he goes He would certainly be unwilling
to spend four years in school. and perhaps
it is as well that he does not take lot of
subjects which will be of no especial SER
vice to him in his chosen line Of work.

TAKING THE NORTHERN TRAIL.

Confusion and excitement was now
reigning just above the young scout, where
the Indians seemed to be rushing from
every quarter. Mingled with the reports
Of firearms were the wild cries of these
forest foemen, but he heard nothing Of his
friend, except that he was certain among
the reports Of the guns rang out ut least
once "Old Danger" whose voice was as
well known to him as that of its intrepid
owner. In this bewildering medley of
sounds he caught the hoarse bark OF 4

The hearse was white that yesterday
Stood for a while before door;
The box was light and small that they
Who were his little playmates bore;
The world goes on-gay lovers sing,
The shouts of happy children ring
Out gladly as they did before.
All. yes The world keeps going on,
And people plan and children play,
But some ones dearest hopes are gone,
And some ones heart is torn to-day!
A heavy silence fingers where
Gay laughter used to ring, and there
Are useless toys to put away.

Whose sinless heart shall know no

Not for the child whose shouting's done,
Around whose brow the curls are fair
But all my grievous tears shall be
For them, alone, that have to see
