World-Weary.
(LINES WRITTEN BY THE LATE JUDGE SLOAN, OF
HILLSBORO.)
I am sick of the world and its follies,
And I long tor the time that’s to be
When the wearisome burden of living
Shall fall like a garment from me ;
I am sick of the sin and corruption
With which the world is so rife;
Though still In its beautiful summer,
I am weary—so weary of life.
I am tired of the play thst is acted—
The sick’uing play of deceit —
But a farce is the drama of living,
I repeat, again I repeat;
Deep, deep in the perdit - -
Burge ft *b gja^avalcade,

What wonder 1 faint by the wayside .
Wbat wonder I fall in the fight.
The demon of Wrong hath supplanted
The starry-eyed Goddess of Bight.

Of the beautiful day yet to be.
Ob! when shall the burden of living
Fall off, as a garment, from met
Face the Future.—To sit iu idleness and
brood over the misfortunes of the past is both
foolish and unwise. The past is beyond recall.
As well might you try to restore the dried up
mummy to life as to live over the past and correct
the mistakes committed. It is gone, buried be
yond resurrection, and as worthless as a dream,
except as an example for the present and future.
To back into the future with the face towards the
past, is to stumble through life, and repeat the
errors that experience should have taught you to
avoid. Let the past go, for to waste time idly,
wishing for its return, is to blind j ourself to the
realities of the present, and fits you for nothing
but a helpless wanderer in the future. Look
ahead! If you have seen trouble, turn back
uooa it, and press forward, determined to deserve
success. Some people never recover from a mis
fortune. Ouce down, they remain down lorever.
They make no effort to get up. They prefer to
keep down, and appear to enjoy a secret satisfac
tion in felling others what they have been, and
what they might have been had good fortune con
tinued to emile upon them. Others shake off
trouble as a duck would the water. It makes no
other impression upon them than to make them
a trifle wiser. You can’t keep them down. Knock
them off’their feet, and they are up and go ahead
as bravely as it nothing had stopped them. All
they ask Is health and strength Their courage is
equal to every emergency. Like the blooded
racer, though distanced at the start, they never
give up the race until the home stand is reached.
In a word, they do their best under all circum
stances, and in doing this, generally do we 1
enough. It is bad enough for an old man, who
hasp'it forth his strength ar.d failed, to become
discouraged, and drift into the current of fate
with no effort to stem it, but lor a young man,
or one in bis prime, who has brain and muscle in
perfect order, to give up, and drift with a tide
that he could eaeily overcome is without the shad
ow ot an excuse. What il you have lost money, or
failed iu business ? Can these trifling troubles
excuse idleness when extra exertion is required ?
Yesterday has iLd from your reach; to-day is
yours; tomorrow may he full of 6unsh:ue to
your darkened hopes. Let the past go; rear a
tombstone over it it you please, but cease to dwell
u before you ; ripened
