Every man complains of his men,
ory, but no man complains of his
judgment. Our pride will not suf-
fer us to impeach the latter.
All men are fools, and with every
effort they can only differ in de-
gree, There will only be the more
foolish, and the less foolish.
We should remember that the
calamity which athicts our neigh
bor, most seriously threatens our
selves.
All men pay Tespect to riches
without inquiring very scfupuously
into the means by which they have
been obtained.
Truth is confirmed by investi-
cation and delay: fa,sehood avails
itself of haste and uncertainty.
He possesses Gcd-like quality
who can be silent although he knows
he is right.
The uncuItivated mind is unablz
to enjoy the real pietures Of life.
| All the world acts the player. Al
the worlds si2.e.
The times are changed, and we
are changed with them. There i
nothing fixed or stable, either il
lsituations Or opinions. Men chang
with fortune, manners change witt
climes, tenets with books, and prin
ciples with times.
We owe every allowance 10 til
faults of others, being conscious tha
every human being mas his share c
inn mperfection.
Adversely finds but few compau
ions or comforts.
Although we cannot fathom th
process, we know that as all thing
lsubslst from God, and as God is il
finite, His plans include ali thing
AS our freedom of action is one
1.-THE call things" His plan must Ii
lclude our freedom OF action La othe

q act in the free and unrestrained e,
8 ercise of our wills, Gods plan is
8 the same time being carried Of

which reaches back to the very ere
tion of the universe.

The Ideal Boy.
the London Graphic.

From the London Graphic
There are indications that studies OF
school life are the coming fashion In ncton.
7, will be an interesting phase. II II does
not last too long, and 1t VIII be specially
interesting TO try TO deduce from the COLA
ton of the studies some definite conception
of the qualities OF the ideal boy, who can
worthily be presented as hero. Up to the
present the novelists who have treated the
subject have contradicted themselves on
this point more than on almost any other
The author OF Tom Brown began by
clarifying the prig with thick head. The
author of Eric replied with panegyric
of the precocious sentimentalist. In the
school stories of Mr.. Eden Phillpotts the
ideal boy ia more like monkey than any
thing else, while Mr.. Kipling depicts him
as a lawless rebel. Sinking games because
they are compulsory and defying the con-
stituted authority OF masters and projects
alike. In this maze of contradictions the
philosopher can find only one firm and con-
slant principle. All the novelists alike
eulogize youth for some characteristic
which Is admittedly unsatisfactory In men.
Is this the last word? Can no one create
a boy capable OF attracting the adult read
err by his qualities instead of his defects7
That is the problem now before the novel;
lists busy with their studies of school
life. and we hope that some one or other
of them will solve II.
