We heard a younu man remark

young man's good that he'll get the
notion out ot bis bead, it s a mis

entertained a more foolish idea nor
one which will bring him a smaller
measure of respect. The world owes
the young man nothing: but instead
he owes the world and society an
active, noble manhood, a steady.

him to associate with decent men
and women in a true manliness of

-The weekly country paper has
as definite an excuse for being in
the world as can be furnished by the
city dailies. Such a publication is
not only a business guide, but is a
pulpit of morals; it is a kind of a
public rostrum where the affairs of
the State are considered ; it is a su
pervisor of streets and roads; it is a
social friend, a promoter of friendship
and good will. Edited by a broad
and just man, such a publication so
treats the different sects that they
realize their brotherhood and become
in reality what they are pictured in
print. The town weekly dare not be
Presbyterian, or Methodist, or Bap
tist. but it must select the valuable
in each church, and thus it" becomes
the harmonizer of discord. It binds
those whom theology would often
separate. Even the so-called small
matters of a village or incorporated
town are small only to those whose
hearts are too full of personal inter
est. It is very important if some
school boy reads a good essay, or
speaks well a piece, or sings well a
song, or stands high in the class
room, that kind of mention should be
made publicly of such success, for
more young minds are injured by the
want of cheering words than are
made vain by an excess of such
praise.
