The point of view Of the proprietor
and the guest at the summer resort
are not always reconcilable The per-
manent householder, anxious to make
hay while the sun shines and to take
full advantage of a season of alarming
breyity, may be guilty of an exorbitant
charge for the accommodations offer
ed; on the other hand, the guest may
prove unreasonable and exacting, and
unwilling to make the least good-na-
tured allowance in case the specifca-
tons promised more than the actual
fulfilmens. But. ON the whole. in any
anu iMSli-CciQuClSu NoSttlEs,
the interests of the host and the guest
are made to seem one by the solicitude
of the former and the amiahle disposi-
ton OF the latter to approve rather
than to condemn and to find good
time instead Of to demonstrate and
demur over whatsoever is faulty and
amiss. At the seashore or inland. en-

THE WAY TO GLORY.

THE WAY TO GLORY.
So many rognes twist and turn
The truth to serve their selfish
ends,
So many hidden things to learn,
So oft betrayed by seeming friends;
So many scoundrels sleek and fat,
So many sophists great and small,
It often seems amazing that
We manage to get on at all.
So many who can make a lie
Seem fairer than the truth may be;
SO many willing to apply
Commanding talents shamefully;
30 many urged by restless greed,
So many spurred by selfishness,
st seems miracle, indeed,
That still we manage to progress.
So many making wrong seem right,
So many cunning demagogues;
SO many who for gain or spite
Would lead US into binding fogs:
So many hypocrites who fill
High places and command applause,
It seems marvel that we still
Succeed in any holy cause.
