LITTLE THINGS.

Life is made up of little thingsl
Little gifts in wise employ
Oft lead TO great results and bring
Into life sweet peace and joy.
In every hour, till night from morn
Little duties to be done,
And little trials to be borne,
Come unto US, everyone.
Little words have mighty power,
Little deeds great influence show,
That cause life's sky to darkly lower,
Or with sunny radiance glow.
1t is by little steps men rise
Till success their efforts crown,
And little sins. small in mans eyes,
Bring in shame and sorrow down.
Wait not for some great work to do,
Some victory grand to win,
But to fill life with true success,
With the Titles now begin.

SWANSON SAYS LOOK TO DIXIE

Among the many fiue addresses de-
livered at the University of Virginia.
Charlottesville, in connection with
the Founders Day exercises, none
was more favorably received or more
deservedly applauded than that of
Governor Swanson, who is himself
an alumnus of the institution.
Although the Virginia Executive
was careful to consume but a small
share of the time allotted to the ora.
tors, he managed to enunciate certain
ideas and to offer certain suggestions,
which cannot be overlooked in this
day of intellectual activity and moral
awakening.
Governor Swanson spoke in part
as follows:
Here, more so than anywhere>el
| have ever known, is established an
absolute aristocracy of intellect and
achievement. recall the year
graduated in law the person elected
as judge of the Moot Court-the
highest honor the law class could
confer, was a splendid student room
ing in Dawson Row, who was so poor
that he was compelled to do his own
cooking, and attended the University
with the greatest difficulty. An in
stitution permeated bv such spirit,
dominated by such influences, stands
as beacon light in this age where
most are enervated by luxury and
cringe before wealth. SO long as
character and capacity are held as
the most cherished and honored pos
session by this institution, it will be
the nursery of genius and greatness.

Young men, if | mistake not, We
are on the eve of great moral
awakening. In all directions are
seen indications that the moral
forces are be''oming active. and that
the influences that work for the bet
terment of society are again becem-
ing dominant. The recent disclos-
ures in connection with the iusur-
ance scandals, shameful Wall Street
speculations, have shocked the con-
science of the nation and aroused an
honest. healthy public sentiment.
Mep, potential in financial circles,
high in political and social life, have
been found besmirched and forced
to retire before public censure
and condemnation. Some of those
who have accumulated millions and
through questionable methods at
tanned the highest distinctions, would
now willingly surrender all if they
could with unseared consciences and
pure hands again face the public and
receive its applause and approval.
Graft, betrayal of public trust,
corruption in politics are all being
reprobated and cleaner public and
private lives are being demanded
This movement, just beginning, il
destined to gather momentum and
to carry the nation to loftier ideals
and nobler purposes. The time is
fast coming when the finest asset a
young man can have in business, in
social or public life will be good
moral character. In the coming
battles which must be made to over
come existing evils, to purify oul
national life, to elevate our ideals, tC
save our Christian faith, let us cour
ageously align ourselves with tn,
moral forces, the success of which

Bugle Call Beats Dinner Bell

We need to feel once more that
intellectual wealth is greater than
material wealth. The time should
come again when the hero of the
college should not be the captain of
the foot ball team, but the student
whose splendid intellectual attain
ments point TO life of usefulness
and greatness. The time must come
again when womanhood will prefer
companionship with brave hearts
and noble souls bent on lofty pur-
poses. rather than with those whose
sole attraction consists In their
ability to furnish the gaudy tinsel
and decoration of wealth. Patriotic
public interest and sentiment indeed
need awakening when the great daily
newspapers of this country. in COM
pliance with the tastes of their
readers, devote. two pages to races,
prize fights, base bail and scarcely a
column to the proceedings of our
National Congress, where questions
of vast public Importance and far
reaching consequence are debated
and determined.
The time should come again when
the bugle call to battle and duty
will be more pleasing to the ear than
the dinner gong inviting to feas
and revelry.
