THE MAN WHO DOES

insufficient occupation and the con-
seriousness of not being Of much use
nearly always explain the man who
does not grow up. There may have
been a period in his life when he was
an admired ornament of society, when
his cleverness was applauded, when
his violent assertions and rash criti-,
cism and absurd resentments were
listened to as the outpourings of an
interesting and awakening mind and
were valued perhaps for some facil-
ity in utterance; but the mind has
not matured, perhaps because it never
was forced to grapple with anything
vital, and the facility in ut.erance
that was charm in youth has
dwindled with wears to peevish flu
ency in objection, censure and con-
demnation. The man who at rs is
still dabbler, with faculty for rails

agements of the achievements OF
