One of them was a haughty fellow from the country; the other a humble, quiet, studious spirit. . On the graduation day, the first walked across the campus to the building wherein he was to deliver his splendid address. Accom- panied by some of his fellow students, he came face to face with an old man, plainly dressed in jeans, with a broadrimmed hat and unpolished boots. gray locks unshorn, his hands were horny, and His face was tanned, his his stooped shoulders and deep wrinkles sug- gested age; but when he saw this student he put out his hand. The haughty fellow brushed past him. saying to his associates: “Let us hasten on; that crazy old man imagines he knows me.” The old father, for such he was, stood still and looked in utter amazement, until sudden- ly it began to dawn upon him, and then he- moaned, “Ah he is "shin/zed of me; ashamed of me. out of whose loins he came; of me who kissed my love a thousand times into his baby face; of me, when I have watched his youth with such tender care, and when for four years now I have labored so hard on the old farm, from the break of day till darkness lay again on all the land, never resting because I wanted to educate him, and to think I have come to see him graduate to-day, and my presence puts him to shame. But then, bless his heart, I love him, and I will not confuse him but go home.” He turned and took the path backward to the station: the first train out carried the brokenhearted old man and with every revolu- tion of the wheels this sentence throbbed through his old heart, paining it as at the oint of a “He was ashamed,” “Ashamed of me,” “Ashamed of me." When the graduation exercises were The pres- sword, over, the honors went to his rival. ident arose and said: “Ladies and Gentlemen, I want to add to the nominal honors which have fallen to the lot of this modest and ef- ficient young man a goldymedal which the faculty have prepared in token of the respect in which they hold him.” Then the humble young man arose and came forward with flushed cheeks and swimming eyes, and re- ceiving the medal he looked into his mother's face. She was old. Her gray hair was thin, her face wrinkled, her shoulders stooped, and she was clad in faded calico. But, as he looked upon her, his eyes kindled and he said: “Ladies and Gentlemen i This day‘s honor does not belong to me, but to my dear mother instead. Some of you know how she has slaved that I might enjoy these advantages. She has stooped over the wash-tub that I ' might be educated, and I feel that this day’s honor belongs to her. Mother, will you stand?” Used to doing his will she arose, and, stepping down. he pinned the medal upon her faded dress, and taking the dear old face in his hands, he imprinted a kiss upon her lips —— many sobbing, all cheering. 91> NEWS <11:- (By M.L.

As long as our Master sees fit to keep us here, He has a place for us to fill, a work to do, a mission to perform. Now is the time for each one of us to ask himself: Where is my place and how may I best be enabled to perform my duty? And if our plans he in accordance with the divine will, we are sure to succeed, even though it be through appar- ent defeat. Our new years resolution should be this: I will fill my place and do my duty, as God gives me to see it, with all earnestness and every endeavor to please my Master. The new year lies before us shrouded in obscurity. We know not what it will bring. Little by little the veil will be lifted. Daily trials and temptations are sure to lie in our way. “In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” Though diffi- culties and suffering be in store for us we can boldly meet them. If we know we are right and are doing our duty, we need have no fear as to any consequences. “Do your duty, that is best; Leave unto the Lord the rest." Therefore, thrice welcome,1900,with whatever of joy or sorrow you have in store for us. Yet we need have no fear. War/(er. (T. G.)

What a blessing to be under the in- fluence of a loving, christian mother from early childhood.

How much she has our welfare and success at heart. How she will toil from morn til night if only it can help “her boy” forward. All honor and love to mother! We can never ful- ly realize her position, but let us love and honor her, share with her our joys, and by following the path of truth and duty, show that her pray- ers, her tears, and her labor for us have not been in vain. ‘Ve owe a debt to our parents that we can never fully repay. The least we can do is to love, honor, and respect them, humble though they be; the promise of God then rests upon us. and success is im- minent.

Entered at the Post Otfice of LIinneapolis, Minn., as second class mail matter. Ulla Wil/aye yreac/mr. From Goldsmith‘s “Deserted Village”. Near yonder copse, where once the garden smiled, And still where many a garden flower grows wild, There, where a few torn shrubs the place disclose, The village preacher’s modest mansion rose. A man he was to all the country dear, And passing rich with forty pounds a year: Remote from towns he ran his godly race, Nor e‘er had changed, nor wish'd to change, his place; Unpractic'd he to fawn, or seek for power, By doctrines fashion'd to the varying hour; Far other aims his heart had learn‘d to prize, More skill’d to raise the wretched than to rise. His house was known to all the vagrant train, He chid their wand'rings, but relieved their pain: The longremember’d beggar was his guest, Whose beard descending swept his aged breast; The ruin'd spendthrift, now no longer proud, Claim'd kindred there, and had his claims allow‘d; The broken soldier, kindly bade to stay, Sat by his fire, and talk‘d the night away, \Vept o’er his wounds, or tales of sorrow done, Shoulder'd his crutch, and show’d how fields were won. Pleased with his guests, the good man learn’d to low, Andgquite forgot their vices in their woe: Careless their merits or their faults to scan, His pity gave ere charity began. Thus to relieve the wretched was his pride, And e'en his failings lean'd to virtue's side; But in his duty prompt at every call; He watch'd and wept, he pray’d and felt, for all; And, as a bird each fond endearment tries To tempt its new-fledged offspring to the skies, He tried each art, reproved each dull delay, Allured to brighter worlds, and led Way. Beside the bed where parting life was laid, And sorrow, guilt, and pain, by turns dismay’d, The reverend champion stood. At his control, Despair and anguish fled the struggling soul; Comfort came down the trembling wretch to raise, And his last faltering accents whisper’d praise. At church, with meek and unaffected grace, His locks adorn'd the venerable place; Truth from his lips prevail'd with double sway, And fools who came to scoff, remain'd to pray. The service past, around the pious man, With steady zeal, each honest rustic ran; E'en children followed, with endearing wile, And pluck‘d his gown, to share the good man’s smile. His ready smile a parent‘s warmth expressed, Their welfare pleased him,and their cares distressed; To them his heart, his love, his griefs were given, But all his serious thoughts had rest in heaven. As some tall cliff that lifts its awful form, Swells from the vale, and midway leaves the storm, Though round its breast the rolling clouds are spread, Eternal sunshine settles on its head. 1 9 O O . flap/Dy Wow S’s-qr.

Such are the thoughts that en- ter one’s mind as he passes over the threshold from the old into the new year. The year just passed has been of great importance to most of us. To some it was the last. To some the new year came ere the old was passed. It remains for us to bear the burden also into the new year. Sooner or later we shall all join the great throng; but in the mean time there is something for us to accomplish. Perhaps we are not prepared to go, and for that reason must remain.

' THE joker and prose-writer is very well to the front. — But where, oh where is the poet! WE note with pleasure the success at- tending the literary efforts of writers in our exchange papers. Short and original stories should have their place in every college pa- per. The essay must have its place, but the story ought not be neglected. The advantage of this to both the paper and subscriber is evident. Of stories we would mention one: “Bring: ing Home the Yule Log" by Frida Bue in the Dec. number of the Jim'u'tou lifesaving/er. PERHAPS we are like the Englishman who usually “catches on" to a joke about a week after it has been given. But really, we fail to see the joke in many of the jokes that have come to our notice. A joke is well} enough when it has a point; otherwise it fills one with disgust. The value of a paper would not be seriously impaired if some. of the jokes printed in its columns found their way to the wastebasket instead. \Ve have often wondered how a joker takes his own , joke after he sees it in print. IN the editorial column of College Chips are many thoughts worthy of notice. In writing on the necessity of a student taking interest in his studies he says: “One is too often tempted to say that such and such a study will do him no good. because he thinks that he can never make any practical use of his knowledge. On such a flimsy pretext many shirk their duty little realizing that by applying themselves thoroughlyto any branch of study they can require great mental de- velopment. and that the more lines of study they pursue and the more different kinds of brain power are called into play, the more complete is the mental development.” Show less
