YOt'NU USX VK. OLD.

Was it not the younger Pitt who one® told a famous English statesman, with keen sarcasm, that lie had not before known that it was a crime to be young? It is certain that there has long existed a fwling that the young play but the second fiddle, to put it in homely phraae, iu th' world's great orchestra. This is however a mistake. Dr. field has been goin through the statistios with a iew of ascertaining in what period of his life a man does his best work and as the result of his researches ^he declares that a man is at his twat from SO to 48 years of age the next best period is from 40 to 50 and the third, from 20 to 30.

It is true that men are not usually most famous (hiring the first "period, but that only shows that it takes some time for their work to produce ite fruit. Honor and wealth eeme to them at a later period of their live®, but they come as a result of early etfort that is to say, even if the work of their younger days is not absolutely the best they have donoy yet it lias led to what they have accomplished later and which could not Have been dnnn without the first. But inmany instances the earlier work is absolutely the best. There is in it a boldness, a freedom, a certain impulse of recklessness which add much to ite Interest and which are missed in the more conservative and cantons work of maturcr life. The young man, .thrust out upon his own talents to make his way, feels that there is but one side to the game and that he can venture freely. lie has nothing to lose consequently there is no risk to run. If he wins, so much the better if he fltils he Is still as rich as he was. Hoia not hedged round with any uneasiness as to results. Be has no reputation to maintain, but only one to make. Thereibw he can affoni to venture somewhat. In later life it is different. He Is known his work is before the world be has been measured and given a certain value. He feels that he is watched thai svarjthlng he does will at once be compared with what he ias done already. He is anxious lest the comparison oe unfavorable and this anxiety makes him cautions of laying himself open to criticism. He comes to have great respect for rules and Is careful not to be wild or exaggerated. Ilenoe, while there Is a certain mellow ripeness in his work, the tang and piquancy of his earlier efforts is wholly wanting.

There is something in these statistics which ought U» encourage as young men. We are apt to fee too impatient are too anxious to am the immediate results of our work. Some one has spoken of the "angelic patience of genius." The expression set mc to wondering whether tho whole secret of genius was not to be found In this very quality of patience. A mind of small capacity can hardly be patient. It may be torpid and lethargic may see the years flow byte idle indifIbrence but that is not patience. True jxitienoe works as well as waits. It gather* the scattered moments and makes of them a ladder by which to mount. Infinitely slowly the work may grow, but if it increases little by little patience is satisfied. It plants its seed and waits through the rain and the sunshine for the harvest.

Is not that the heal success which comea slowly? Some men list like rockets, hat there is always the suspicion of a trick in (heir SO'T**, and instinctively we wait to hear stick come down. Hawthorne say* that so slowly did his feme oome that be felt like one who had sat down by the wayside until the boshes sprang up and grew to trees around him. Yet-much of Hawthorne's beet work was produced at this waiting period of bis life—at this time when the world seemed so neglectful and chary of its praise. But be worked on, Ceding Jk w*»W that appreciation would come some time and she and he ooald a®wd to wait

hi«. lie has Indeed a double right to j,BJ

mad second, beoanas that vtgoe and amblbon sn going ftw It is dUBweat with tha lis tsftdl His work is a joy to him. Thon^i he loll inohacarity and neglsci, yet tela oonAckmt that his merit will not atweys go unrewarded. He vails tor thus to reveal himandcan aflfordto vrait. Mayhap it Is aot the worse lenr him that he is notprt*^ auwr^rtrry fama ^nle, an Int^. in flur The so «rti nerve relaxes when the battle to won, and When a man Is praised and honored there Is danger he will feel that his work hi scr^pUr1^ and begin slacken his eft ,j w^. eea, while no heed Is paid to him there is nothing to do but to work tuad he works as he eonld note with the voice of praise and panegyric sounding in his ears.

So then let the yom»& man work and the old man enjoy the young man sow and the old man reap. For it is nature's method of equilibrium and like many of nature's processes It Is bettor than it at first appears.

A (URL'SSOLILOQ UY IN CHURCH. Dear me how early I am! Our clock must be too fkst and If there Is anything I detest, it is to alt hero so long before anyone else begins to oome. But then never mind, it will give me time to compose myself, and clothcs, and a good opportunity of seeing what everybody else has on new, as

they

oome In.

There's Miss Slim, now, in her old gray dress and bonnet, as usual. She never has on anything new, and she always comes early and takes her seat as quietly as a little gray mouse. O dear 1 I believe I should go wild if I thought there was any danger of my ever being an old maid like her. My conscience I what a fearfully long prayer she makes 1 Anybody would suppose she was a married woman, with a dosen children and a degenerate husband, and was closing the week's praying for tho whole of them.

There's that Wont-worth family, all rigged out in theii: Sunday best. I declare their clothes are the greater part of them, and they look and act as if they oonld scarcely carry them. How they parade up to their seat in front of the whole congregation. Good gracious! they needn't put on such airs, ma can

they

A

remember the time (not so very long ago, either,) when Mrs. Went worth dia the principal part of her sewing on Sundav, and was not only too poor to go to church, but was too poor to remember the commandment about keeping holy the Sabbath day. But old Wentworth has made lots oi money since then, so now they can afford to be religious. Dear me! I wonder if that isn't all a mistake abont the rich man having difficulty in getting into heaven surely he can't have so very much more than the poor man has in getting Into church.

Here comes old Stearns, the red-nosed hypocrite. I should think he would be ashamed to show his bloated face inside of a church door, when everybody knows that he spends his week-days in beer saloons, treats his wife and children shamefully, and only puts on his meek as Moses" air with his Sunday clothes, when he takes up his prayerbook and line of march for the "house of worship."

Why, how fitst they are coming in! Always do toward the last, so that ysu can hardly keep track of the different ones. There! the bell has stopped its everlasting clanging, and I guess everybody is here.

No there is Mrs. Msy, **the bride," just coming in. Came late, on purpose to show her clothes, for she's all decked out in her bridal finery. I declare, I should think it was enough to have her marriage advertised in the papers, without advertising it on her person SIBO. Really, though, her hat is very elegant seems to be one mass of flowers. I wonder when I am married if I can afford such a hat as that. I doubt it, if this pemic continues, and pa's face grows much longer and his purse much shorter, 'twill ne a miracle if I have any hat at all, not to speak of all the other things. But then "fortune fevors the brave," and, if ever I am married, I trill have a nice outfit, panic or no panic, for I never expect to have the chance but once.

Just see Mrs. May and that Wentworth ftemily kneel, what a "spread" they make of It. (I do wonder If my dress hangs gracefully in the back, I hope so, for it does look so awkward all

What an elegant new cloak she has on. must say I dont see bow her Hither dan afford It, bnt pa says they run bills, and live beyond their means, and, If that's tho ease, I she wont flaunt in such clothes mi' longer.

I it- "T, and spends his timo, «tc but the most desirable company. But he is handsome, and, for my part, I wouldn't give a fig for your sober, sedate, perpendicular fellows, who never have a bit of fan abont them. (A—men!) Good heavens! what a voles that man has I I declare its to r"-a til" dead and if all I booth is tni- It does ndseCfein occasionally.
