THE WAGON AND THE STAR

| was termed, even in his day, a trans
jcendentalist. But he would have
made splendid booster.
one of the most splendid picture.
In the portrait gallery which he has
left behind him, in memories and bi
ographles and letters, is that of this
great man, as he stood watching his
splendid home as it went down in
ashes. 1T is not wonderful sight?'
ne said. And turning away, without
even sigh, he took up the business
of his life again.
Emerson had ideals. He lived in
and by and for those ideals. He spent
no time in vain regretting. He did
not waste his time in idleness. Life
was battle ground with him, but il
was battle-ground of the spirit and
not of the flesh. He not only hitched
his wagon to a star, but he drove
blithly over difficulties that most men
would have stumbled over. and prob
ably been wrecked over. And he died
a conqueror of the soul.
Another man who would have made
a splendid booster was Mark Twain
He was past middle life when he lost
all his money and had to start over
again. For so long he had laughed
and had made other people laugh,
that maybe that made it easier to
laugh at his own troubles-and may
be it made it harder. 1t must be a
sorry thing to have to laugh always,
in season and out of season. But it
is brave thing. Mark Twain went
on laughing, though now and then he
struck a minor cord, but it only gave
to his comedy the SAVIOR that contrast
always gives.
Mark Twain was one of the world s
benefactors, for he created laughter,
which is the elixir of the soul. But
he was more than this, for he was a
fighter. and a fighter against heavy
odds, and his splendid courage was
like a battle cry to arms to other
souls fighting against disaster.
TWAIN lost al his money. When
through the failure of publishing
house in which he was interested, he
became involved to the extent of 500
900, he set himself grimly to work
to pay his debts. After those debts
were paid-and they were paid, to a
penny-then he set to work to lay up
a competency for himself and his
family. And this he did.
Mark Twain was funny fellow.
He made people laugh, and we love
him for his gift of laughter, but we
admire him for his fine courage.
Wouldn't he have made a splendid
booster?
Robert Louis Stevenson was the
very soul of courage. He suffered
martyrdom of the flesh and the spirit,
but he was one of the greatest boost
ers the world has ever known.
Henry Van Dyke is another. There
is not a song that he sings that does
not breathe of high courage. He al
ways boosts.
All of these men have suffered
much, but they have suffered braveiy
and they have flung out flags OF
cheer to the rest of the world. They
sang songs of courage to others Wnlle
their own ships were fondering in the
dark, and by the very light that IS
borne of the storm of disaster, they
came at last to the harbor of safety.
Life is made up of courageous souls
like this, only, we don't always hear
of them. Some of them do not sail
the seas of romance, but drive over
cobblestones behind lame steeds.
But their wagons are hitched to
stars.-Pensacola Journal.
