ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.
Don t worry, my son, don't worrv. Don’t worry over a thing that happened yesterday, because yesterday is a hundred years away. If you don’t believe it, just try to reach after it and bring it back. Don’t worry about anything that is happening to-day, because to-day will only last fifteen or twenty- minutes. Don’t worry about things you'can’t help, because worry only makes’ them worse. Don’t worry at ail. If you want to be penitent now and then, it won’t hurt you a bit to go into the sackcloth and ashes business a little. It will do you good. If you want to cry a little once in a while, that isn't a had thing. If you feel like going out and clubbing vourself occasionally, I think you need it, and will lend you a helping hand to it, and put a plaster on you afterward. AU these things will do you good. But worry, why, there's neither sorrow, penitence, strength, penance, reformation, hope nor resolution in it. It is just worry, that is all.
