Lafagan’s Logic.

When a young man concludes that he is really of no account in this world I do not care how soon he commences to part his hair in the middle. ’ Most every man has had opportunities to get rich, but there is only now and then one wbo finds it out before it is everlastingly too late. Some people are too modest, and others too impudent, to accomplish •their best work in this world. I favor just enough modesty to conceal inj-_ pertinence. < I hold that a - man has a perfect right to make a drunken sot of himself to gratify liis ambition, but Ido not ap'prove of his dragging down a V’ife and ••seven children wifli him to disgrace.. -f'l have faith iii Intelligent,'‘medest religion, bnt not' mhch in the ostentatious street-corner religion witli ’ brass-band accompaniment. If a person can not be redeemed by rational means lie or she is hardly worth redeeming.
