The Universal Heart

Since hOaIy+headed Time was young;
Since Art and Music found a tongue;
Since the first rose, with dew i'm
pearled,
This heart has throbbed through all
the world.
Il bleeds for freedom and for love
Dreams of beatitudes above
And yearns with everlasting pain
For those who never come again.
lt thrills to genius and to- worth,
Yet loves the lowlest thing on Earth
Is Scared with sin, and rent by grief,
And stripped of bloom like autumn's
leaf.
Coeval with the rolling spheres.
1t holds the burden OF the years,
And beats like pulses of the sea,
This great heart of Humanity
-W-.aam Hamilton Hayne, in the
June Era.

Eating Less Meat
.erican Medicine.

From American Medicine.
The lessened consumption of meat is
a good result of the rise in price which
has recently taken place. II is an ill
wind that blows no man TO good but
it is surely a blessed one that blows
good to all. and there is little doubt
that IL we all ate less meat we would
be better off both financially and
The sudden advance in
price has served to show people that
and health and life are pos
sible without meat or with much less
of it than is customary. "Once a day,
is becoming the rule with many who
have thought that meat, often two
kinds. was necessary each meal The
fact is making quite a revolution with
hotels. restaurant keepers. cooks. and
extending all the way from the effete
East to the breezy plains of the Far
West.
New dishes are being devised. and
the vegetarians are having their in
nlngs. Perhaps we may relearn that
our Indian corn is as good and often
Ia better food than so much meat. But
both undernutmtion and overnutrition
have their bad effects upon the system,
so we should not go to either extreme
in the ordering of our dietary. Palata
bleness is also to be considered. II
general it may be said that moderat'
amount of meat with a greater use OF
good soups. spaghetti with a small
quantity OF meat or veal BROTH, buttei

COLLEGE oRATIoNs


The season of commencements is
now at hand. and American literature
is in a fair way to be materially in
creased. Good-natured and perspiring
audiences will be gathered in many a
chapel or hall to hear the young
graduate roll out the sounding periods.
IL is tine season, too, when the para
grapher fills mp much valuable space
in filings at the young orators and
sweet girl graduates, but the gradu-
ate has the advantage of the para
grapher in that usually he is sincere,
while his critic is not.
IL is interesting in a way to listen
TO series of orations from a class Of
young men who are completing their
college career, and are about to at
tack the real problems of life as their
/ tfellowmen attack them. Perhaps in
these utterances there is no new or
startling truth, but there is an earnest
ness inspired by a profound belief and
an absolute faith. There is a courage.
too, which indicates youth and vitality,
and when does not propose to be
daunted before any obstacle Listen
ing to these sounding periods, we who
have accumulated more years, are in
clinod to smile with an air of super
ior knowledge, which, after all, shows
only a cynicism that is not to be adj
mired In worldly wisdom we could
teach these enthusiastic young men
much, but in turn they represent
many desirable qualities which once
We're ours. and which we have lost
The average young man standing
with diploma in his hand is an idealist.
Youth has made him SUCH and edu-
cation has developed him. In the re-
public OF letters he has learned 90 re-
spect nothing but TRUTH and all minor
distinctions seem trivial. His ideal is
shown in his Grafton. There is no
temporizing such as might come from
older heads. and which they might
call diplomacy. He goes at the heart
of things rs he sees them, and is inn
patient of petty and trivial objections.
Ten or fifteen years hence one Of
these young men in one of those rare
moments of leisure may stumble over
Inc old oration. and then a smile, half
sad. half bitter. will overspread his
countenance To acquire distinction in
his profession has not been as easy as
he imagined. The absolute faith
which obtained among the students OF
the old college has given way to a
suspicion of the acts and words of
men. and. worst of all, perhaps he has
decided that his estimate of himself
was at fault His splendid enthusiasm
is gone and he is readjusting himself
to the new conception of things.
SO. when we listen to these COM
mencement orauons we may learn
much We care little for the topic.
but we shall hope to draw inspirations
of optimism, Of courage and faith.
Faith IN our fellowmen and in our
selves and for the moment at least,
we shall be. not cynics. but idealists.
Anu a41er all youth, looks at maturity
and smiles. and maturity pities the
inexperence Of youth, but one has
forgotten much that is of value, and
Tie other has much to learn.

Special to the Evening journal.

Smyrna, May 27-Medes Boyer drove
