Some years ago there appeared a book entitled “Thinks I To Myself,” now out of print. It was an unpre tentious little book, but it contained many important practical lessons for every day life A leading feature of the little book was to impress the importance of “doing your own think¬ ing.” How few do this. The great mass of mankind act from impulse. Settled conviction has little to do with acts or course of life. All man kind are more or less vagarists, and like the Athenians they are eager “to tell some new thing.” This is fear¬ true when it is considered with avidity the details of horrid and scandal is devoured and fearfully the public morals are by it. The public press a fearful responsibility in this Looking over the map of human how few do “their own thinking.” one man in a community does thinking for all and sometimes not think for himself. The to think is a distinguishing of man and elevates him the brute, and yet with this power if he does not think moves on as the beasts of burden. The perfection of education is to u m man „ n tn to think think, and ana to to thi mink lk wisely and well. Brain power is de rived from the proper exercise of the faculties. This is evident the ^ history 3 of great & orators, great witters . and , great great preachers. Napoleon Bonaparte was right when he said that a man was great when he could think and sp#kk standing up.Not uttering the thoughts of others, but his own thoughts, 0 and as thought follows thought the fire burns and radiant beauty guilds the picture. Stray thoughts sometime, like the A f rican traveler, pick up diamonds of rare value, but like the hands of skilled thinking p- throu and f be pol- ^ I ished thereby. Think ! Oh, think ! is i: 1 - o o -3 —1 cn • Qu a. to the O. P. T. For the Hamilton Jouknai.. GOOD LUCK. A neighbor says in this h’aru year he had the good luck to pay his debts and have a little left. From whence came the good luck? From good management. This neighbor went on the short crop basis and the result showed , , , his . good , prudence . , and sense, foresight. And besides he consider ed if the crop was short the means would be lacking o to supply 1 r J some nec essary / articles, ’ and in order not burden his . he made . all money crop the home supplies possible. “How much meat have you raised?” “Enough to do my family.” “Will you have to buy a horse or mule, as you have lost one?” “No, 1 have two fine colts, onq of which I will put to the plough next year.” “How about milk and butter at 3 vour hous- ?” lenty and . spare. My good , 1 wife has sold butter enough to keep us in sugar and , coffee —. and , some oth , er things.” This is a poor man, as the world would say, yet he is rich in comforts and independence. . "I he two wheel ed carts do not hunt such men. Another says I have had bad luck. The crop is short ana I could not pay out, and the merchant and the guano dealer had to carry me over for another year. If the same qu^s tlOnS were asked . the answer would be . the negative. . The truth 01 . the , in whole matter is* bl$i luck is bad man agement.
