I
jQrie has said that the cup of life is
Bweetest at the brim, ' the flavor is im
paired as we drink deeper, and the dregs
are made bitter that-we may saffterhe
less regret when it is taken from our
lips. Life finds a beautiful image in a
ball-room, where the votaries of pleas
ure enter at one door.'which we' may
call the threshold of Time. They min
gle in the happy throng for a-while, and
then pass out at another door the.
threshold of Eternity. Thus the stream
of humanity flows in and ' out of this
scene of life, almost unnoticed by the
numbers within, who : are neither the
less gay or more miserable on account
of their perpetual entrance and exit.
And whoever looks into this ball-room,
in ages to come, will find its youth still
as buoyant, as graceful and as beauti
ful as ever, and just as happy and un
concerned as if death ' never' had oc
curred " and " never would occur., upon
earth. r "
In the ancient citadel of Athens there
stood three statues of Minerva: The
first had fallen from heaven, according
to tradition ; the second," commemora
tive of the victory of Marathon ; and
the third, mode of gold and ivory, stood
as the perfection of art in the age of
Pericles.- Thus, in the Temple of Time,
stand three . statues, emblematic of the
fife of man : First, the delicate statue
of childhood, pure and fresh from heav
en ; the second, of manhood, emblem
atic of struggle' and victory ; and the
third representing the full development
of man.
Life is made up of inequalities of
prosperity and adversity, and if we ab
stract one of these essential factors, we
cannot have a perfect whole. Life is
only a success to us as we are acted
upon by its sunshine and its clouds. No
greater curse could . be imposed upon
man, in his present condition, than to
condemn him to walk either in the sun
light of unshadowed prosperity, or the
darkness of unlightened adversity. He
who created us only knows how much
light and shade, sun and cloud, heat and
frosV is requisite to the maturity of
those flowers that are the objects of his
celestial husbandry. As -we meet with
these vicissitudes' of " life, we should
willingly : accept I them as the instru
ments tending to oar perfection..
; : Life should have an aim. F We are to
build a monument of character that
will finally stand before God as an ex
ponent of our actions through life. If
we once mar the symmetry of its struc
ture, we can. never restore it to its orig
inal beauty. Over the rich golden fruit
of autumn, there grows a bloom of
beauty, a soft, delicate blush that over
spreads its blushing cheek. Now, if
you strike your hand over that,: and it
is once gone, it is gone " forever, for it
never grows but once. , The beautiful
rose : that hangs in the rays of ; the
morning sun, glistening with dew drops
arrayed as no queenly woman was
ever arrayed with jewels if you once
shake it, and' the drops of dew fall
quickly to the ground, they are lost ;
you cannot restore them. - You may
sprinkle water over it as much as you
please, yet yon can never make It what
it was when the dew fell silently upon
it from heaven. So, in youth, you are
given a purity and beauty of character
which, when once touched and defiled,
can never be restored. 0Qe who has
spotted and soiled his character in
youth, can. never , again make it white,
though it- be 'washed with "one's own
tears. As life is measured by the. har
vest of thoughts" and deeds, let every
one solve its', problem with this great
truth before him.
Life is an earnest, vital, essential af
fair ; but how many undervalue it 1
