Youth.

'There is God’s gift of youth, inexpressible, beautiful, glorious, divine. It is for youth that the rest of us live; it is on their motions that we hang; it is for them that we labor, suffer, and endure; it Is for thetn that we flout the ills of life; it is for them that we are blind to death. Youth, — wonderful youth,—so great a gift to possess, so infinitely greater a gift to perceive in boys and girls about yon! —H. D. Sedgwick, in the Atlantic Magazine.
