One spot of blue is worth a skyful of grey. ~ , , Dear me ! if only the young had fair play and the tonic of a kindly word! But no kind words appear to be weighed out like gold. And then comes deadly depression and heart-searching and all aye.* courage is extinguished, and all noble aspirations checked, s until in middle age we find only the ■ dried-up, cauterised, wizened soul, taught by • dread experience ,to be reticent and cautious, and to allow - splendid opportunities t to pass unutilised rather than risk the chances.'of, one defeat. —Rev. P, A, Sheehan. ; ■ • • ••'' , .
