GALL ON OR ADDRESS R. A. Harrison & Cos. anUBOMBTIUB OR WPAIISA. OA JPosrsr* Alas ! how sad is the lesson of these phiin ive verses by Hugh Howard : TIMELY WARNING. Flame-red in the tender blue glooming, The summer moon rose from tho sea; Soft waves ou the pebbles were foaming, Soft wind from the west fluttered free. The hour was divinely romantic With evening’s most exquisite spell, And far away loomed tho gigantic Multitudinous-windowed hotel. Since sunset we two had been strolling, Each pleased with the nearness of each; Attuned to the waves’ pearly rolling Was all our smooth murmurous speech. Faint echoes of waltzes entracing Came borne from the hall-room's hot glare But we found it delight moro than dancing To flirt in tho fresh dewy air. Her toilet, neat tastciul, capricious, llad charms that escaped not my note, And chiefly ono charm—a delicious Great peach-colored rose at her throat. He style, like her dress, lacked the stigma Os anything prudish or slow, And her hair was a golden enigma Os ringlet and braid and rouleau-. Now I, who am full nine-and-twenty, Have reached that void epoch iu lifo Which claims, spite of health, peaco and plenty, Tho crowning content of a wifo. And somehow just then, waxing stronger, A voice in my bosom arose; “Don’t stupidly beat any longer Round Rubin Hood’s burn, but propose.” The fondest of language was waiting At uttermost tip of my tongue; A final farewel to debating My mood had impulsively flung, I glanced at her costume Parisian. Her bright eyes, her glimmering head. When, vague as the voice of a vision, It seemed that a second voice said: “One moment consider, ere wildly Yon rush to your doom, reckless man, Who purpose in married joy wildly To finish your day’s fated span. The girl at your elbow is clever, Fair charming as any one knows; But the girl at your elbows was never Designed for domestic repose. “She looks with serene expectation On all that your lore will confer, Which means, at tho least calculation, Unspeakable comforts to her. Believe it, her hopes are not humble, She gives pleasant fancy free play; Already in dreams she hears rumble The wheels of her costly coupe. “Already in dreams, too, she blazes With jewels at dinner and bail, Her wardrobe’s kaleidoscope-phases The marvel and envy of all. Ah, soon she shall teach you your psirse meant Far more than its lord over will, This beautiful human disbursement. This Jtesb-and-blood milliner's hill. “Be prudent while yet you aro abfp: Remember your bachelor room, Its pipe-loaded, rubbish piled table, Its floor nearly virgin to broom; Remember your line relaxation, Your infinite freedom and ease; Remember your club’s fascination, Your lemons-and-ice when you please. “Think; then, of the wearisome burden Which bores the respected grandee Who bears, without profit or guerdon, A social Old Man of the Sea; His life of restrainment and stricture, Hia death to convivial bliss. O rash man, look here ,on this picture (As Hamlet remarks) and on this!’’ The singnlar voice being ended, My impulses was ended as well, And presently backward we wended Our way to the monstrous hotel. Bnt once from my charmer delivered, Alone in the moonlight at last, I smoked a cabana and shivered With thoughts of the peril just past ! fJTkellanmts. WOULD YOU BE YOUNG AGAIN ? Would anybody be young again if he had to take with it the penally of going back and doing over again all the foolish things he was guilty of in his youth ? /wouldn’t. “Give me back my youth again!” did you say? Friend, it’s a mistake. Ten to one you wouldn’t have it again if you could. If old Time were to come bodily to you to-day, saying, “Take back, O wise middle aged Noodle, these twenty past years of your life, with all the pains and disappointments which have made you clear-sighted and sound headed, with all the silly actions you perpetrated in those days, and all the occasions on which you made a long-eared donkey of yourself; Worry through a second time all the tight boots and tribulations, all the toothaches and heartaches of your youth ; do, be and suffer it all again ; be, in short, once more just the soft young Noodle you were twenty years ago,”—ten of manhood’s hearty hopes to one dolorous wail for your lost youth, that you answer, “Pass on, Father Time ! And you may as well tip those twenty golden sand-grains back into the loucr half of yqur hour-glass. I do not want them!” It gives an odd feeling, especially if you tire a woman, to find your self gelling to be a iittlc bit middle aged. First, you will notice that you begin to bo left out of very young folks’ picnics, and to gel few er notes in pink envelopes than you used. Then you begin to be faintly haunted by vague, sneaking doubts as to whether while muslin and blue ribbons are becoming to you. Fi nally, and worst of all, once in a while you will sec an infant of the male sex, whom you remember as a rosy little fellow in checked aprons when you were twelve years old, suddenly lifted over your head in the shape of a long, gawky biped, with the tender downofalirst mous tache sprouting from his ujtper lip. That gives to you an intensely exas perating sensation. Nor is it pleas ant to have saucy young snips of girls talk of you behind your back as Old Sarah Thompson. But then, would you have again the bread-and-butter days of life, and be just the same moony, half done erealuro you were then,even if, to buy back your youth, you had hut to endure again the sentimental ag ony of your lirst quarrel with Har ry ? Again allow me to say, 1 wouldn't. Then, too, you may as well make up your mind to the hard fact of middle age when you chance to open some old gilt-edged book of poetry, and discover, carefully pressed away between the leaves, a little lock of hair, and you can’t remem ber for your lifo whose it is. 1 have, half a dozen such myself. They we/e precious as gold once, no doubt, hut I make confidential confession to you that if I were questioned on the rack, 1 could not tell now whose heads they came from. What makes me know that they were pre cious as gold in their lime is the fact (you will observe this is another con fidential confession) that they are nearly all locks of longish-short hair, before college-students began to affect the present prize-fighting style of shaving their pates. O poor little rings of faded hair l—schwarscs llaar, rothes llaar, gohlcncs llaar —I grieve to say it, but 1 have forgotten vo'u all! Again, when you go to a party and far in the small hours of the night, partake of that grindstone mess called a party supper, maybe you notice that you feel gumpy and out of soils next day. Well, that’s a sign, too. Especially if you have found yourself pausing to listen now and then lo the chattering talk of persons younger.than yourself, and sarcastically wondered whether you ever made su/di a wholesale idiot of yourself, or whether very young misses always deluge society with such quantities of simpering non sense and affectation. (I believe they do.) jl is .‘k sure sign if you find yourself constantly feeling a call to givo your younger sisters advice which they don’t want, or to treat then) now and then to a bit of a preachment, lor which you get no reward except thankless insinuations about saving one’s breath lo cool one’s broth. Or maybe you say oc casionally to your sister Ella, who is sixteen and pretty, “When you have lived as long as 1 have, you will find that the majority of very young peo ple have precious little common sense.” Ami you don't seem exactly to enjoy the literature which used to be so famously eloquent and beautiful. That fascinating romance which you sat up all night to read fifteen years ago has come to have a frightfully suspicious sound of buncombe in it, of late. Moreover, that mellifluous flow of English which used to be the seventh heaven of eloquence to your green-horn ears, that pow-wow of moons, stars and angels, of child hood’s recollections, wherein girls of fifteen talk as though they were at least a thousand years old, —when- ever all this delicious, high-stepping multiloqucnce begins to sound a lit tle tiresome and wishy-washy, ac cept the token that you are grow ing middle aged. Your youthful glory, such as it is, has departed, to come again no more forever. What then ? What matters it that the golden days have left us, if better days come after them ? Let them go. Don’t attempt the impos sibility of holding them back. Once for all, there is no misery so distress ful as the desperate agony of trying to keep young when one can’t. I know an old bachelor who lias at tempted it. His affectation of youth, like all other affectations, is a mel ancholy failure. He is a rapid young man of fifty. He plies inuo cent young ladies with the pretty compliments and soft nothings in vogue when he was a spoony youth of twenty. The fashion of talking to young ladies has changed within thirty years, you know, and this aged boy’s soft nothings seem more out of date than a two-year-old bon net. They make you think, some how, of that time-honored frog-story wherein is set forth the discovery of galvanic electricity. When you see his old-fashioned young antics—his galvanic gallantry, so lo speak— and hear the speeches he makes to girls in their terns, when he ought to he talking io them like a father, you involuntarily call him an old idiot, and long to remind him of that quaint rebuke of grand old John : “Thou talkest like one upon whose head the shell islo this very day.” That is how he seems. He is old enough to have been almost full fiedged before you were born, and here lie is trying to make believe that he is still in the days of his gos ling-green, with the shell slicking on his head to this day! It is a melan choly absurdity. One can’t be young unless one is young. Only once is it given to us lo be untried and soft, and gushing and superla tive, and when the time comes for it all to go, no sort of effort can hold hack the fleeting days. After all, there isn’t any particu- lar reason why one should wast to hold fast, with such a desperate clutch, to one’s departing youtb. Are the days of our youth really our happiest days ? Not at all. To be sure, pen-drivers of high and low degree contend that they are, but will facts bear them out in so doing? Again—not at all. The time of youth is par excellence, the time of storms and disappointments. It is the time of illusive dreams and phantom hopes, just as infancy is the time of bugaboos. It is the time of fume and worry. It is the time when we want we don’t know what. It is a most unsatisfactory time. A wise dignified middle-aged la dy, the perfection of housekeepers, the perfection of mothers, the per fection of friends, confesses lhat at the age of sixteen it appeared to her dazzled vision that the cliamax of earthly glory was to be reached by learning to ride circus-fashion and becoming a famous bareback eques trian. She says that her father’s laugh when she timidly hinted her aspirations to him fairly broke her heart. There was no more joy for her in thi3 life, she thought, when her own kindred went against her. For rnyself, to the best of my knowl edge and recollection, the hardest trial of my youth was when my good mother and the laws of decor ous society of the middle rank set their respective and respectable feet immovably clown that I should not dress in boy’s clothes and wander about the streets at night, smoking cigars. Strictly between ourselves, I am conscious of the same insane desire at limes to this day. And one of the most moral, steady-go ingeilizens of our town, a member of the Board of Education, tells me that in his youth he was “perfectly crazy,” as the young ladies say, to go and be a professional gambler. I do believe that when we are young there is in every one of us an intense, secret longing towards whatever isn’t pretty to do. What a world of rogues and ruffians this would be, then, if we were allowed lo fulfill the wicked youthful aspira tions of the very best of ns! Nevertheless, terrible as they are, youthful disappointments are "by no means the worst thing in the world. Not one in five thousand but surr vives them and does well. They only show us what we really want, or, belter yet, what we really don’t want. It is a good thing in this world to know what you do not want. Thoughtful young people in the lat ter half of their teens, probably without exception, are thrown into a muddle of conflicting hopes. It is a most perplexing muddle too.— They are all morally certain that they shall do great things some day, and show the stupid old world what’s what, or, if not exactly what’s what, at least who's who. Perhaps in a general way they care more about the who’s who, than the what’s what. Each one knows he can be an extraordinary something or somebody. But he does not know what to be—can not tell for his life in what particular direction to turn his mighty gifts. I knew a young man who tried successively to be a lawyer, a doctor, a preacher, a merchant and a Methodist; which brings him down to middle age and the present time, when I regret to say that the golden aspirations of his youth have ended in bis becoming a manufacturer of tombstones. Per haps tho occupation followed logical ly enough as a result of long and mournful contemplation over the graves of so many buried hopes. In; truth, the ambitious desires of our early days are mostly enveloped in a. very dim, uncertain glamour ; and the crude, unreal years during which the majority'of mankind are afflicted with youthful aspirations are not highly satisfying when looked at in retrospect. An hour of the strong will and bright, steady hopes of middle age were worth * lifetime of them. Youthful aspirations are mostly gammon, We do not believe it No. 9 when we are young, but we discov er it as we approach middle age. You remember how, when we used to have to grub out Virgil at school (how we hated it, didn’t wcr),wc read that her majesty Queen Juno took the phantom of a hollow cloud and made a hollow iEneas, and placed a hollow helmet upon his hollow head, and gave him hollow armor, “miracle wonderful to be hold, 3 ’ and lastly finished him oil by putting into his mouth empty words and sound without sense (sine menlc sonum) —though I rather fancy that sound without sense would not be so much of a miracle now-a-days : then she sent this image to delude Tuinus and draw him away from the real fight. This phantom -Eneas might represent the whole bundle of youthful aspirations after fame, or gold, or power, or what you will— any of those phantoms which trick us away from the true fight of life, and that solid, earnest work which is the real A£neas we are after. We can’t begin to see the battle of life as it is until the smoke has cleared away and our phantom jEneas has gone back into the clouds whence he came. It is worth being middle-aged if only to see what we are about. It is not the confidence of untried ignorance which we feel then, but the consciousness of known strength and power tried and tempered. I have been told twenty limes by elderly people that if there was a single aspiration dearer to me than another, a solitary bopo upon which I had set my whole it, that as piration and that hope would surely be dashed to the ground and shiver ed to infinitesimal atoms. Well, I don’t believe it—l never did believe it. They said that my poor little aspirations would be thus ignomin iously dealt with in order to teach me the vanity of human hopes and the dependence of the human soul. I don’t believe that either. Cant! cant! cant! every word of it. The Good Father would not take such an ugly way of teaching his children a moral lesson. He is hardly so much like an old fashioned human schoolmaster as that. But when we approach middle age, and turn to look backward upon the ruins of youthful hopes we have left behind us, lo! they are but the ruins of cra zy air-castles ! There is not a wor thy hope or a pure aspiration im planted within us but there is im planted also the means of its fulfill ment. Asa matter of fact, the youthful hopes so ignobly crushed are only those illusive structures which are not built upon the tough foundation of common sense. And if, from dll the undefined ambitions and misty aspirations of spring-titne, there remains one single longing which has not perished, one single hope which we cannot quite put aside from our thong hts*Jet us accept the working out of that one aspiration us our life’s task. Cherish it as a ?;ift from God, and be thankful, O riend! that tjie .day of spasmodic ambitions and general unripeness is over with you. It u something to be thankful for. Older folks can’t make light of you any more because you are young and therefore foolish. You begin at last to be wise with the wisdom of experience, which is better than the wisdom ot books. Not the rarw., fitful spring, but the warm, rich summer is the golden time. There is a deep, intense joy that comes from the indwelling knowledge of fried power which is like no other joy in this life. You had no such exultant joy as that when you were young. You couldn’t row your fit tie boat then with that long, telling oaf-sweep which now sends it shooting over the blue waves. Could yon ? Whatever purpose you 9et about, you have a strong' will and a skillful hand for it, which you had not fifteen years ago, or even ten. Is it not better ? It u belter, for better. So let the days qfyouth go: let us turn our <gres before us, Thera ace fairer islands ta the sea of Time than even the enchanted shores we leave be hind os. Tho summer flowers are brighter and richer than the pale roses of early spring. And the years just to cddie are the years during which we stall know all the fullness, all the intensity of life?, with its depths of love, its hoists of jov, its marvelous, i(nknoWn possibilities. Let us make room, then, gracefully and gladly* for. the happy, workful time of middle age— ■> <* yrttkfm *K tk* swift, new muons, The y<*r»Uut tmm and busk!"
