In substantiation of the veracity of the
title of his lecture ho presented the

stood in the front rank subdividing the
treatment of his theme into the poet's
politician,

ideal life. To each of these claims he
brought ample substantiation, and pre
sent«-«l the poet in a now light to the
casual student of history and literature.
nd minist rater he measured Mil
ton's abilities to a great extent by the in
tense hatred of his political rivals, and
accredited him with being tho first
to make England felt i

Milton's "Paradise Lost" as the best type

What Shall a Young Ciirl «
Her Own Living?
to El!
Hose Terry Cook in Homo .Journal.
Many a girl finds herself suddenly
obliged—in these days of sudden re
verses—to take care of herself, to find
for herself the food, the clothing, the
place to live, which have hitherto been
hers "without her
just
light that are given to
Father above. And the two questions
confront her : Wlmt shall she do V How
shall she do it?
To such a girl whom these lines may
find in this position, or to lier who ih
the future may find these questions
confronting her, let me sav
in the first place, my dear, wherever
e, sit down calmly, and think
what you can do. Reflection shows you
that you have hitherto been a lily of the
field, doing nothing, But what have
«ornent?
over your bon
altar tho decoration of your
dresses? Have you enjoyed gathering
•ranging flowers? Have you been
used to criticising your food so that you
knew when it was properly cooked?
Have you liked to teach in Sunday
school, or to visit the sick, or take
of your friends when they arc ill? Can
you write a good letter? Are you
cal? Do you draw?
Think these things over; the thing
you like to do you will do best. Choose
deliberately whether you will be a mil
liner, a dressmaker, a cook, a steno
grapher, a nurse, or what other occupa
tion suits you best. All these things
are trades; all have methods to be
learned.
To be a milliner, you must go through
an apprenticeship, which will for the
first year pay you nothing, very little
for the second. Dressmaking you will
begin to learn as a sewing-girl at small
wages. Cooking will need at least a
study. A teacher must begin in
all schools, unless she is exception
ally educated and gets an exceptional
position at once. A stenographer needs
a full year's hard study and practice.

to let literature alone, except as

A good cook gets high wages and not

it is not easy for a woman to support

One more thing to the girl compelled
to seek her own living : Do not look at
work as a penalty, a terror, a necessity
to be lamented and bewailed. Work is
the real blessing of life. I know of no
more pitiable object than the man
woman who has "nothing to do and
plenty of time to do it in." F
such a person life has no savor,

the hardest toil is sweeter than a gift

under itsdisguise a gift of God. If you are
young, and strong, and well, labor—not

I once knew a young woman
that she could not spend her income
herself, say, "Oh! it i
stupid not to
want anything!" I pitied that girl fur
more than I shall ever pity you, my
dear. She was tired of luxury, she had
nothing to expect or desire,
learned as she grew older that the pow
ol giving to those who had
needs that could not be gratified,
some compensation for the weariness of
of lier money. Her
yours is earning.
1 must add one word here, beyond the
subject perhaps, but too important to
omit. 1 beg of every girl going out into
the working world: Take cure of your
health. It is your only capital;
it you can never work. Jjo not be
xious to look well that you set aside
under-clothing for outside show.
Do not eat trash for your lunch; keep
dry and warm, and use wholesome food.
