MAN. A man’s life is full of crosses. He comes info- this world without his consent, and goes out against his will, and the trip between the two is exceedingly rocky. The rule of the contraries is' one of the important features of the trip.; When-he is little, the big girls kiss him ; but when ho is grown ,the little girls kiss him. If he is poor, he is a bad manager; if lie is rich, he is dishonest. If he needs credit he can’t get it; if lie is prosperous, everyone wants to do him a favor. If he’s in politics, it’s for pie; if lie’s out of politics,‘ you can’t place him,-and lie’s ho good' for his country-■ / >. , ■ % ' If lie doesn’t give to charity, lie is a stingy cuss; if he does, it is for show. •* If he is actively religious, he is~-a hypocrite ; .jf he takes no interest in religion, lie is a hardened sinner. . If he shows affection, he is a soft specimen ; if he .seems to care for 'ho one, he is cold-blooded. If he dies young, the.ro was a great future ahead of him; if he lives to an old age 1 , lie has missed his calling.
