ot receiving an education is a suggestive I
expression True education is self prepara-
tion. It must find something within
you, or il brings nothing out of you.
It converts your possibilities into practical
powers.
The richer a nature the hatder
aud slower its self-preparation aud develop
ment. To-day the noblest figure in
Europe stands erect under the snows of
more ihan fourscore winters, aud because
of his rigid, righteous self-preparation
through all these years the "Grand Old

Great and good m o are not half living

not bear its fruit in a d iy, an I richer the
truth and in irep'ecious the seed the longer
the fruition is delayed, Oteat principles
and great bodies, move slowly. A man's
self becomes a part of the truth to which
his life is wedded, and as this truth passes
beyond the limit of his visible existence
and takes its endless course through the
ages the best part of die man is perpolu
ated. Etch life is a contribution to
history, but few lives have their histor
ians, Heroic lives arc oftentimes written
anonymously upon the tablets uf time,
and coming nges never recall by name
their greatest benefactors. Sumo men
are dead while they nro living) others arc
living while they are dead. Think much
of your post-mortem life aiming men,
Maintain no. uncompromising enmity
toward the false, nn invincible fricndaliip

faith in the living God. Accept Christ
as your ideal and llcdeetuer. This is
the hidden spring uf self-heroism. It
crowns man's life with the truest success)
and when tho veil is lifted he shall stand
erect in the light of a glorified man

ORIGIN OFTHKCAKK WALK
The cake walk proper had its origin
among ibo French negroes of Louisiana
more than a century ago. There is lit
tlo doubt that it is an off-shoot of some of
tho old French eountry dances. It
resembles several of them. From
New Orleans it spread over the entire
South and thence North. It was found
of convenience to the plantation negroes.
They were not wedded by liconse, and it
was seldom that the services of a preach
er were called in. At a cuke walk a man
might legitimately show bis preference
for a woman, and thus publicly claim her
for a wife. In effect die cake walk was
not different from the Old Scotch mar
riage, which required only pub'io ac
knowledgement from die contracting
parties. So this festival became in sonic
sense a wooing, an acceptance or rejection
and ceremony. This explains its popu
larity with the blacks, outside of its
beauties, with tho accompaniment of ,
u.usic, which is competent ut all times to
command negro support.
Cake-walking has improved, as do
most things that are constantly practiced.
It has lost its old significance in the
South. Negroes are now getting niar-
ied, when they marry at all, in the white
folk's fashion. It has become however a
pantotnine dance. Properly performed,
it is a beautiful ono. The cake is not
much of a price, though the negro has a
sweet tooth,
