Such is the inconsistency of man's ideas. The less one knows the greater his opin? ion of his abilities and wisdom. In the morning of life a conceited man prides himself on his greatness, and wonders to what grand channel he will confine his talents. He looks upon his school district as the world at large, and himself as the great genius In whose keeping the world's nature rests. He Imagines that when he speaks, nations tremble, moun? tains totter and the sea becomes si? lent. He imagines that a gaping and wondering populace are gazing on him with open-mouthed wonder and iron-clad astonishment, and that he j holds the world in the hollow of his hand with a grasp that Is perpetual. But as days, and months, and years pass In rapid succession, the young man finds out that he is possibly mistaken and if he would wander away and get lost some one or more of all the people on the earth would not miss him. By and by he begins to realize that he Is only one of the many millions of people, and instead of stading forth as the center of at? traction, he only fills a small niche of some obscure corner, and really attracts but little attention. The ig? norant man who realizes his ignor ance and who does n:>t seek to pass himself off for more than he is worth, is pardonable, but the self-conceited man who tries to pass himself off at a premium, is to be pitied. The best way is to hold one's self-esteem down and not rate himself too high. The man who climbs the highest has the furthest to fall. It is more pleasant to be invited to take a higher seat than to be deprived of it. It Is more pleasant to be king of a cottage than the servant of a palace. It is better to be a good five cent piece than a bogus quarter: in other words, it is better to hold ourselves at what we are honestly worth. The world is full of people who never learn anything because they think they know enough to be? gin with. Thousands are teaching when they ought to be taught; thousands believe themselves wise when their ignorance is lament? able; thousands believe themselves clothed in gold when they are enly thinly plated and the copper shows through in many places. The wisest are comparatively Ignorant and thousands of men who have grand ideas of their own abilities will some day wake up to the realization that they have been laboring under a large sized delusion. Many a young man's life is gilded by bright dreams that come in the early stage of the game, but later on he finds that these dreams are only empty, and O, how little is the change when it comes.?
