THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
Speed and Youth. Speed has been entrusted to us with a purpose, in common with every other talent that we possess, or ever will passss. It is a good thing: it has. indeed, become a necessary thing, and assuredly if at first we seem to play the prodigal with it, that i.s by far a better tiling to do than to wrap it in a napkin and bury it. Thrift is one thing and liberality another. Both are virtues and both may develop into vices: but thrift is unnatural in youth, and we arc young in speed. It i.s not then, necessarily a mania, a disease, this passion for hurry. It is. indeed, much more possibly the normal and easily explicable condition of our tender years.
