seeds that spring up either to
honor and advancement or to
degradation.
In these bright days of life’s
morn we are laying the foundation
of a character which must survive
for all eternity. A character
which will make us to be respect
ed as persons of integrity and
steadfastness, or dreaded as the
hooded serpent of Egypt. Laying
the foundation upon which will bo
erected a life of usefulness, honor
arid glory—a blessing to itself and
nil with whom it comes in contact.
These are the days above all oth
ers when we should apply our
selves diligently to the improve
ment of our minds. The halcyon
days of youth will soon lie past
never to he recalled, and the re
sponsibilities of life will soon lie
crowded upon us. Will wo be
prepared? The hoys of today will
one day he the men who must gov
ern this nation. Whether they be
prepared to take the helm when
their fathers desert the ship of
state rests solely with them. They
alone can fit themselves for guid
ing the grand old ship over the
bounding billows of time, steering
1 clear of rocks and sand-bars; and
if they arc not such as they should
be, soon in tho dizzy whirl of the
maelstrom that ship must sink
forever. Whatever they desire to
make themselves, that they can be.
But only by untiring, persevering
effort can they hope to -attain to
heights of honor and fame. The
hill of science is rugged, and only
those who arc determined
reach the summit. At all
remembering:
“The heights by great men renehed
and kept
Were not attained by sudden iliglit;
But they while others dreamed or slept,
Were toiling upward in the night.”
Though at times the way appears
gloomy, yet we remember that by
and by the clouds will roll away,
and then our pathway will be
illumined by the silvery light of
success. Let 11s not become daz
zled or disheartened when gazing
at the hero standing on the top
most round of the ladder of fame,
but remember that once he was
standing at the foot of the ladder,
and that he climbed round after
round to the high position I10 now
occupies. Life is so full of duties.
There is something for each one to
do, but our part in this grand
drama is quickly acted. Let us
then appreciate our school days
knowing that, “Whatsoever we
sow we also reap.” Let us ever
strive after the good, the noble,
the true, following in tho footsteps
of those who
“On Fame’s eternal camping ground
Their silent tents have spread."

The commissioner of the gener
al land office, Washington, am
Bounces that at 9 o’clock on the
morning of November 15th the
government will throw open
760,000 acres of agricultural land
in the Chippewa reservation, m
Minnesota. lt : as much as 50 per
cent of this land is usable for ag
ricultural purposes, hero is farm
land for nearly 8,000 families,
with 20 fertile acres each, or 16,-
000 families with 25 acres. This
means a poptil ttion of about 70,-
000 persons. h strikes us that
1 here is small excuse for idleness
and “vagrancy” when, for the
price of a colonist ticket, anyone
can become a landed proprietor in
this exceedingly fertile region.—
Ex.
Most men call back to their boy
hood days and remember the time
when they dreamed of becoming
Napoleons, or Washingtons or
great financiers or great authors
in tho far future, remarks an ex
change. We knew wo had ro-
markable talents and when thoy
should be developed they would
make great men of 11s and wo
would be remembered among the
intellectual giants of tho age. It
was a day dream, which few of us
ever realize.
When we arrived on the shady
side of forty wo found ourselves
numbered with the great mass
known us ordinary men. The re
markable boy, who was sure ho
would become a Napolean or u
president of the United States,
settles down to become a good
book keeper, or a bank clerk or a
farmer, lie may be a very useful
nnd honorable man in his calling,
but he is only an “ordinary man.”
But, after all, what would tho
world do if we were all Napoleuns
or millionaires? If ?ve were all
Vanderbilts or Rockefellers what
would Vanderbilt do for men to
keep his books, or Engineers to
run his trains? Ordinary men,
after all, are very necessary, and
the world can not get along without
them. As a rule, the ordinary
men are the best husbands and
fathers and most faithful in their
duties to their church. Napoleons
and Vanderbilts live so much in
tha eye of the world and have so
many great undertakings they do
not get time to enjoy their family
life and they forget their religious
duties. It is a blessing to the world,
therefore, the most men are or
dinary men. Tho good, honest,
intelligent, ordinary men are tho
bone sinew of the nation. The
so-called middle class, those who
are neither rich nor very poor, the
intelligent, industrious business
men, mechanics and farmers, they
constitute the bulwark of the na
tion. There is a better ambition,
therefore, than to be great or rich
as Charles Kingsley has so beauti
fully said,
“Be good, my dear, and let who
will be clever,
Do noble things, don’t dream them
all day long,
Then will life, death and the vast
forever
Be ouc sweet song.”
