Some Earnest THOUGHTS.

Young man, what are you living for?
Have you an object dear to you as
life. and without the attainment of
which you feel that your life will have
a wide ~0horeless waste Of shadow,
peopled by the specters of lead ambi-
tons? Is it your consuming ambition
TO paddle quietly but firmly up the
stream of time with manly strokes,
against the current of public opinion,
or to linger along the seductive banks,
going in swimming, or, Careless of the
future. gathering shells and tadpoles
along the shore?
Have you a distinct idea of a GER
tain position in life which you wish
TO attain? Have you decided whether
you will be a great man, and die in the
p~oor-house, and have a nice comfort
able monument after you are dead, for
your destitute family to look at, or will
you content yourself to plug along
through life as a bank president?
These. young men, are questions of
moment. They are questions of two
moments. They come home to our
hearts today with terrible earnestness
You a take your choice in the
great battle of life, whether you will
bristle up and win a deathless name,
and almost everybody, or be salts
fed with scads of mediocrity.
Why do you linger and fritter away
the heyday of life. when you might
skirmish around and win some laurels ?
Many of those who now stand at the
head of the nation as statesmen and
logicians. we're ono unknown, union.
ored and upsung. Now they saw the
air in the halls of congress. and their
names are plastered on the temple OF
fame.
They were not born great. Some OF
them only weighed six pounds to start
with. But they have rustled. They
have peeled their coats and made
Rome howl.
You can do the same. You can win
some l~aurels, too. if you will brace ur
and secure them when they are ripe.
Daniel Webster and President Gar
field and DR.. Tanner and George Eliot
were all. at one time. poor boys. They
had to start at the foot of the ladder
and toll upward.
They struggled against poverty and
public opinion bravely, till they won
name in the annals of history, and Sc
cured to their loved one palatiaI
homes with lightning rods and mort
cages on them.
So may you. if you will make the eff
fort. All these things are within your
reach. Live temperately on 50 per
month. That's the way We got our
start. Burn the midnight oil if ne
cessary Get some true, nobleminded
young lady of your acquaintance to
assist you. Tell her of your troubles
and she will tell you what to do. She
will gladly advise you.
Then you can marry her. and she will
advise you some more. After that she
will lay aside her WORK any time to
advise you, You needrS be out of ad'
wise at all unless you want to. She,
too, will tell you when you have made
a mistake. She will come to you frank.

waiting for guests or to make Y
in illness, storms and in case of
accidents; waiting for holidays
and other pleasures, waiting for
punishment, for the first pair of
trousers or for plate Of fudge
to cool-it did not make a great
deal of difference what the
waiting was for; Juniors were
not a whit more patient if the
something and somebody were
agreeable than if they were not.
It was just Northumberland.
The vexed walters hunted some
thing to read but threw it into
a corner; they stood up and sat
down and walked around; they
told stories and played games
in a kind Of lonesome way; they
tried doing things they did not
like even, and invented some
rather peculiar amusements:
but nO-nOthing was interest
ing and nothing could be done
but just wait. And wait they
did, tho the hours seemed like
the passing Of centuries. ~

But the wilful ones nearly

they grinned right valiantly,
the knowledge that they were
to blame did not help it much.

of them; and even when no

found that you cannot have
