(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, %■ 1 footstool : j*y<fof lue good Father made. 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. iv., h . i. , tlawuiujj f 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 (JUj-rtros fPjZ FORSYTH, GEORGIA, TUESDAI LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS. Appointment of Administrator.
