T0 the Editor of The Chicage Tridune. Citcaco, Mareh 25.—~The individual with nothing to (o Is one of the most miserable of beings. No matter what his earthly posses- slons are, man_ cannot be contented without occupation. 110 was ereated to labor, and in this wide world he may always find a field In which to profitably cmploy the time and tal- ents with which Nature has generously dowed him, In worthy work hemay forget s disappolntnents, perplexities, and all the incidental annoyances and cares that are common to humanity. Labor kueps both mind and body In n sound and healthy condltion, It enables ono to manfutlly meet misfortunes, if by any nc- cident it befalls him. If n person has enough for himself and his tnmll‘y. let him toil further for the com- fort and hay lmhless of others on whom Fort- une has sinlled less kindly. The true way of esthnating n man’s use- fulness to the world, iahy cnrelulli' conslier- ing tho greatness nud goodness ot his actlons. Deeds, not words, indlente his intrinsic value to soclety, and tlio nobler his nehieve- ents are, the higher is the type of manhood to which he attains, The most useful man is he who is the groatest benefuctor to hils race; he who, “departing, leaves behind him” the recol- Tection of no ncts of mennness te tarnish his reputation aml fair nnme; he of whom the unfortunnta can sineerely siy: ¢ He atded us in our dls(r«-ssi he comforied us fn our slekness, and made our lives brighter and uurlllo,:n(-s happler by his presence in tho world.! it has been snld, that * words were the " children of the mind but actions tho sons of tha soul.” A man may be a great projector, an Industrlous dreamer,oran inveterate chat- terhoy, but e cannot firmly hold the respect and estecn of bis fellow-citlzens by words alone. Verboseness 1s tho ontgrowth of o mind that mnounts to nothing, “Actious de- termine the individunl value of n i, and, hike the Index of @ baok, point out what 15 most worthy of conslderation in him. Actlons are the result of carnestuess; they test the strength of the body, they develop the gowcr of the will, und thoy leave sonio visible evidence of their ex(stenco when :‘hey |u|u taithully and cousclontiously ver- armed.

One mortal, one spiritual, Onuexpires with the fleeting spark of lite, the other lves forever in tha universe. ‘Thus, as the foul Is greater than the mind, s0 are ity works more permanent and enduring.
