Life.

Life is the journey Of IL day. We
rise in the morning of youth, full OF
vigor of expectation; we set forward
with spirit and hope, with gayety and
with diligence, and travel on awhile
in the straight road Of piety toward
the mansions OF rest. In sho' time
we remit our fervor and endeavor to
find some mitigation OF our vigor and
resolve to be terrified no longer with
crimes at a distance, but rely upon
our constancy, and venture to ap-
proach what We resolved never to
touch. We thus enter the bowers
Of ease and repose in the
shades Of security. Here the heart
softens and vigilance subsidies; we are
then willing to inquire whether all.
other advance cannot me made, and
whether we may not, at least turn our
eyes upon the gardens of pleasure. We
approach them with scruple and hesi-
tations; we enter them, but enter tim>
orous and trembling, and always hope
to pass through them without losing
the road OF virtue, which we. for
while, keep in our sight, and to which
we propose to return. But tempta-
ton, succeeds temptation, and one
compliance prepares US for another;
we in time loss the happiness Of inno-
cence, by degrees we let fall the re.
memberance OF our original intention,
and quit the only adequate object OF
rational desire. We entsngle oursel.
yes in business, surround ourselves
with luxury, and rove through the
labyrinths Of Inconsistency, till the
darkness Of old age begins to invade
us, and disease and anxiety obstruct
our way. We then look back upon
our lives with sorrow, with repentance
and wish, but too often vainly wish,
that We had not forsaken the ways OF
virtue. Happy are they, my son,
VINO shall lean from thy example not
to despair, but shall remember, that
though the day is past, and there
strength is wasted, there yet remains
one effort to be made; that reforma.
lion is never hopeless, that he who
improves Strength and courage from
above shall find danger and difficulty
give way before him. Go now, my
son, to thy repose; commit myself to
the care OF Omnipotence; and when
the morning calls again to toll, begin
anew thy journey.

Some blooming idiot once affirmed
that there were three kinds OF fools in
this world-the fool, the damphool
and the goshdurned fool. Chicago,
then, has a specimen OF the gosh
burned fool in Oscar Triggs, professor.
which displays degree OF i'm
becility seldom manifested at insane

tance." Oscar wrestles with the chair
Of literature in the Chicago university
and says John D. Rockefeller, the oil
magnate, is the "peer Of Shakespeare"
He also declares that "the poems Of
Oliver Wendell Holmes are trivial and
and unworthy, and, those Of Long
fellow no better" Murder! But we
always said there was something radi-
cally wrong with Bill Shakespeare.
Now we know it. The editor OF the

Rockefeller can stop one-half his
mental machinery and write "Ham-

come dead easy after dinner. 1t should
be mental recreation for him to dictate
"Romeo and Juliet" between lulls. in
the conversation at the club. From the
first we knew John D. had Shakespeare
dashed to the mast, but we didn't
want to anticipate an intellectual
giant like T,iggs, whose mental capa-
city seems to equal that OF a boneles e
