Adopt i specially.

1t is very sad SIGHT to see a
young man away up in his teens
without an aspiration or a purpose
beyond cigarette or a game of ball.
This is not rejecting upon the priyi-
lege of youth to have good time,
but it simply criticises the life that
has no serious thought or am. That
is often a fatal morfsnt when boy
stands on his porch, after supper.
and wonders what to do or where to
go, and then makes up his mind to
spend the evening in idle company,
that tends to loosen ones grip on
life. Thus time is worse than vast
ed, and the boy enters upon insipid
or mediocre life. He wastes himself
when he wastes his time.
We read in the papers of an Amer
lean in Germany who is often the
guest of royalty and the aristocracy
because he knows a great deal about
one thing, and that is the Blackfeet
Indians. He has devoted himself to
that study and found out all about
1T, SO he has made himself thorough
ly interesting and instructive. The
point is here. This man has adopted
a speciality He began early and
found out all about it. That was his
acre of diamonds and he dug them
up by the bushel. There is not a
young man, with his breaches rolled
up and his flip hat on, who does not
cross an acre of diamonds every time
he leaves his threshold and goes
forth into the giddy jamboree of the
