(By William Lyon Phelps)
At the age of 32, Jonathan Swift
wrote the following:
“Resolutions when I come to be
old: 1. Not to marry a young woman.
2. Not to keep young company, un
less they desire it. 3. Not to be
peevish, or morose, or suspicious. 4.
Not to scorn present ways, or wits,
ot fashions, or men, or war, etc. 5.
Not to he fond of children. 6. Not to
tell the same story over and over to
the same people. 7. Not to be cove
tous. 8. Not to neglect decency or
cleanliness, of fear of falling into
nastiness. 9. Not to be over severe
with young people, but give allow
ances for their youthful follies and
weaknesses. 10. Not to be influenced
by, or give ear to, knavish tattling
servants, or others. 11. Not to be too
free of advice, or trouble any but
those who desire it. 12. To desire
some good friend to inform me which
of these resolutions 1 break or neg
lect, and wherein, and reform
accordingly. 13 Not to talk too
much, nor of myself. 14. Nol to boast
of my former beauty, or strength, or
favor with ladies, etc. 15. Not to
hearken to flatteries, nor conceive I
can be beloved by a young woman.
16. Not to be positive or opinionative
17. Not too set for observing all
these rules, for fear I should observe
none.”
Swift died at the age of 78; so far
as 1 can find out, he lived up to these
resolutions with commendable con
sistency, except one: His friend, Dr.
Sheridan, was sufficiently indiscreet
to remind him that he was becoming
too parsimonious. Swift resented his
criticism. and it spoiled their
friendship.
Although Swift was a pessimist, a
cynic, and a misanthrope, these reso
lutions contain much wisdom; so
much, in fact, that a faithful adher
ence to them would save most old
men much suffering and humiliation.
I read them first when I was a boy
and they produce a profound im
pression; now that I am in a position
where they fit my case,I believe them
to be good medicine, bitttter but
wholesome. Swift must have been
bored horribly by many old men, ot
he must have observed many old
people behaving in a silly fashion, to
have written down these rules with
such emphasis.
1 and 2. “Crabbed age and youth
cannot live together,” said Shake
speare; the fpw exceptions do no
more than prove the rule. Many old
people suffer because they fear that
young people do not desire their
company. The solution is for old peo
ple not to allow their happiness to be
dependent on young folks, but to
have either company of their own
ago or intellectual resources which
will make them mentally indepen
dent. I have taught young people for
40 years, hut although I am very
fond of them I prefer the society r.f
people of my own age. If I were
trip around the
needed than in the year 1929.
5. I would change this, so it would
read, “Not to fondle children.” A
man with a bushy beard can terrify
babies.
“I suppose you have all heard tins
before, hut—” then why tell it?
7. Especially of the health, vigor
and activity of younger men.
8. Switt was himself almost fa
natically clean, it is a disgusting
signt to benuid old men wno me
careless oi uieir clothes and appeur-
anee, as tnuugngoid age gave one tne
privilege to appear in public with
rue remains ox me lust meal on tne
coat, waist coat, and shirt.
9. deserve tne ways of the dog
anu learn wisuom. Tne dog allows
children to pud his tail, and bother
mm in many ways; pot because ne
uses it, but because he knows chil
dren have no sense, it is useless to
expect that children and young peo
ple will think and act luce middle
aged men and women; wny be irct-
lui when they are simply running

10. One must remember that slan
der is of no value only as a self
revelation, never an accurate de
scription. The recoil of that particu
lar gun is greater tnan tne dis
charge.
11. Every person loves to give ad
vice and no one loves to take it.
the mother says to the chilli, “Now
Freddy, don’t forget to put your
rubbers on!” to which Freddy re
plies, “Huh!” Then when Freddy is
76 years old, his granddaughter says
'Now, Grandpa, don’t forget to put
your rubbers on!” to wihch the
grandparent replies “Huh!” It is a
good tiling not to foice one’s opinion
on others unless they ask for it;
one’s professions and creed will he
judged by one’s life, anyway.
12. Ah, that requires the very
grace of God. This kind comes only
by prayer and fasting.
13. 14. Many an old man likes to
have others think that he was in his
prune a devil cf a fellow. This parti
cular vanity is hard to eradicate.
Even in the moment of Lear’s heart
breaking and shattering grief over
the death of his daughtter Cornelia,
ho found time to boast of his former
powers.
15. 1 say it not cynically, but in
all seriousness: There is no one who
cannot be successfully flattered,
provided the flattery be applied with
some skill. We have at the core such
invincible egotism that we not only
listen greedily to flattery, but wh it
is far worse, we believe it!
16. An overbearing, domineering,
dogmatic manner in conversation is
abominable in persons of any age;
when old people behave in this fash
ion, and it is not resented by the
young, it should really all the more
humiliate the old. For such acqui
esconce means that the old man
fiasn’t any sense, anyhow.
17. Know thyself. Ulysses showed
hi-, wisdom in not trusting himself. A
Yale undergraduate left on his door
a placard for the janitor on which
was written. “Call me at 7 o’clock on
which was written, “Call me at 7
o’clock; it is absolutely necessary
that I get up at 7. Make no mistake.
Keep knocking until I answer.” Un
der this he had written: “Try again
ar, 10.”
THE ROSE OF THE SOUTH ~~
By Denis A. McCarthy, LL. D.
Written for the Southern Club 0 f
Boston by Denis A. McCarthy, 1,1,
D.. one of the eurliest friends of the
Catholic Laymen's Association of
Georgia, for which he has lectured in
this state, und read by the author at
the annual Rose Dinner of the Sou-
them Club at Boston June 6, 1929'
O Rose of the South! You are bloom
ing today
With a beauty triumphant o’er death
and decay.
You are showing the world”that the
Southland can rise
From the gloom of the past with a
smile in her eyes.
In the depth of your heart there’s a
dew drop deep-hid—
Tis the thought of the deeds that the
fore-fathers did
When they wrestled your freedom
from those who would dare
Keep the Rose of the South in the
vale of despair.
You are blooming today as you
bloomed when the blue
Of your own southern heaven first
bent above you,
And we hail you, and bless, with a
feeling that glows
The spirit of Dixie that lives in the
Rose!
0 Rose of the South! There were
.-days when you dropped,
When the tempest of wrath on your
sunny land swooped,
When your friends fell in battle,
your name on their lips.
And the sun of the Southland went
dark in eclipse.
But those days are long past, and the
sun shines again
On a land still renowned for its
chivalrous men,
On a land that still rings with the
song and the mirth
Of the fairest and best of the daugh
ters of earth.
Of a land that is proud to be bank
in the fold
Where the flag of the nation files
high as of old.
And the flower of the Northland in
love ever grows
Entwined with the sweetness ami
grace of the Rose.
So, here’s to the bonnie bright Rose
that has sprung
From the sod and the soil which the
poets have sung.
From the sod that is drenched with
the blood of the brave.
From the soil that is sacred with
many a grave.
May the Rose of the South never
fade from our sight!
May the soul of the South never
swerve from the right!
May the cause of the South be the
the cause of the rest—
The cause of the North and the East
and the West!
The cause of the nation, thrice tried
and reflne’d,
The cause of the people, the cause of
mankind.
And if ever we stand face to face
with our foes,
May we stand with the men from the
land of the Rose!
When a man seeks good he has not
far to go; it is already within him-
1 self.
