tanned with Religious Care.
The head master of Manchester
Grammar School, in speech at Roch-
dale, referred to a custom at Rugby
School which forbids a boy of less
than three years standing to turn up
his trousers and insists on his doing
SO after that period.
The custom is only minor instance
of the quaint practices that exist at
all the great public schools in Eng.
land and are maintained with relig-
ions care, though in many cases their
origin is obscure or unknown. The
Shrove Tuesday tossing of the pan
cake at Westminster School. with its
ensuing scramble for the largest frag-
ment, which gains for its possessor a
guinea from the dean, is perhaps the
best known among them. A curious
custom at Marlborough requires every
boy to bring to school with him a
cushion, technically termed a "kish"-
with the "i' long. This article is his
inseparable companion in school time

THE RIVER OF LIFE.

The more we live. more brief appear
Our LIES succeeding stages;
A day to childhood seems year,
And years like passing ages.
The gladstone current of our youth.
Ere passion yet disorders,
Steals lingering, like a river smooth.
Along its grassy borders.
But as the careworn cheek grows wan.
And sorrows shafts fly thicker,
Y Q stars, that measure life to man,
Why seem your courses quicker?
When joys have lost their bloom and
breath
And life itself Is vaptd.
Why. as we near the Falls Of Death.
Feel we its tide more rapid?
1t may be strange-yet who would
change
Times course to Slower speeding.
When one by one our friends have
gone
And left our bosoms bleeding?
Heaven gives our years of failing
strength
Indemnifying feetness,
And those of youth, a seeming length,
Proportioned to their sweetness.
Thomas Campbell.

what Ans College Boys.

It Is not luxury which threatens our
college boys, but an incapaclty for
work, fostered and even trained by the
willingness Of parents to let them fol
low always the line of least resistance
The result of this willingness Of
parents to let children follow always
the line of least resistance Is, says
Prof. Van Dyke in the Century, that
many boys who have the best chances
in life will begin manhood with q
smattering OF information. agreeable
manners, mind unframed and Wills
weakened by an education that has not
educated.
These lads come up to college with
two objects The first is.<a sharp,
clear, insistent anticipation Of the
pleasures and advantages Of what is
called college life" To define Just
what they understand by the phrase
would require another article as long
as this. 1t may be summarized as
agreeable comradship, the formation
Of friendships. many Of the privileges
of manhood with none Of Its response
bilities-the maximum of pleasure and
the minimum Of work. Behind this
eager anticipation Of the Joy of "col-
lege life" is vague desire. or, rather,
willingness. to get an education, pro-
vided it does not take too much effort.
Now, a boy who enters college in
this mood and does not change 1t, may
get some good out of his college ca
reer, but the chances are that he gets
far. more harm; and to keep him four
years in college. unless he changes his
mind and brings forth works meet
for repentance" Is not to give him a
better chance in life. but worse
chance.
