PARADOX OF TIME. By Austin Dobson Time goes, you say? Ah no! Alas! Time says, we go; Or else, were this not so, What need we chain the hours, For youth were always ours? Time goes, you say? —ah no! Ours is the eyes’ deceit Of men whose flying feet Lead through some landscape low; We pass, and think we see The earth s fixed surface flee: Alas, Time says —we go! Once, in the days of old, Your locks were curling gold, And mine had shamed the crow; Now, in self-same stage, We’ve reached the silver age; Time goes, yon say? —ah no! Once, when my voice was strong, I filled the woods with song, To praise your “rose” and “snow” My bird that sung is dead; Where are your roses fled? Alas, Time says —we go! See in what traversed ways, What backward fate delays The hopes we used to know; Where are our old desires — Ah, those vanished fires? Time goes, you say? —ah no! How far, how far, O Sweet, The past behind our feet Lies in the even-glow! Now, on the forward way, Let us fold hands and pray; Alas, Time says —we go. YOUNG MEN WANTED. Sensible young men, with a little knowledge of farm life and possessed of a willingness to learn and to work, are in demand. They are wanted on stock farms, on dairy farms, on grain farms and in the gardens that supply cities with vegetables. The agricultural ex periment stations in all the states report that capable young men are called for constantly, not only to take positions on American farms, but on farms and as teachers in foreign lands. This is true not only in agriculture, but in other occupations. The trouble, however, seems to be that the average young man is not willing to work out his own sal vation. He wants to begin at the top in stead of at the bottom. The youngster who begins at the top is very apt to land at the bottom, while he who begins on the ground floor and who means business, is pretty sure to reach the top round of the ladder. The world never offered such good oppor tunities as exist today for plain, earn est, sensible young men and women who are not afraid to work, and who are eager to do their level best.—St. Paul Globe.
