He comes into this world with out his consent, and goes out against bis will, and. tho trip be tween the two is exceedingly rocky. The rule of the contraries is OD6 of the iruportaa?. featur-s of the trip. If he is poor, he is a bad mana ger; if he is rich,.he is dishonPbt. If he needs credit, he can't jiet it ; if he is prosperous, everyone waots to do him a favor. Wheu he is little, the big girls kiss bim; but when he is grown, the little girls kiss him. If he is in politics, it's for pie; if he is out of politics, you oau't place him, and he's uo good for his country. If he is actively religious, he is a hypocrite; if he takes no inter est in religion, he is a hardened sinner. > If he shows affection, he is a soft specimen ; if he seems to care for DO one, he is cold blooded. . If he dies young, there was a great future before him; if he lives to an old age, he had missed his calling. The road is rocky, but niau loves to travel it.-Life.
