unbroken wilderness of ivarly thirty
thousand square mlies, in a country
wotiderlully adapted to his habits, and
bountifully supplied with his r.tvorite

The caribou Is ossoised of much
curiosity, and does not readily take
alarm at what he sees. Where his
haunts have been unmolested, ho will
unconcernedly trot up within range of
the rllle. I am Inclined to believe that

Goon Bukkdikh, Much as wo hope
for from tho future, what Just now
Jeojards our public and social welfare
Is not old but young America. Halt a
century ago there was among ua n real
respect for nged people, outside of the
circle of near kinship. Hoys .and girls
on the roadside were not ashamed to
"mako tholr manners" to tholr elders,"
who, In turn, hail tho (Kilitoncss to re
turn their courteous thanks for this
youth rul civility. That was a good
symptom of the social sentiment. Ilut
tho movement of the spirit of tho ngo
has left this mostly behind; and with
this respectful feeling for those whoso
years mid position entitle them to nn,
honorable regard litis gone, to a perilous
c!otit, the rectenceof ninny for thu
tiithut'lty of (lie parental rule, for tho
ttithorlty al-o of the State and tho
statute book, it is very difficult to
break dmui a pVoper habit of esteem
air one object ai'itl not Involve u weak
ening of respect for others. It is very
dltiieult to bring up that hid itito u
trusty, law-abiding citizen who dn.s
cultivated the vice or a contemptuous
disregard for Ids clden and his betters.
Sometimes theie has been a servile
deference to these, which H the leaning;
over of it virtue to thu other Bide.
That Is not our danger. Now nnd then
ii passion for the antique Is the fashion,
and tho hunt becomes ludicrous In itsj
eagerness after almost anything which
has an undent look and odor. That Is
not be laughed at as u folly except in Its
excess Hut If whllo we are polishing
up and ami restoring the relics of our
father's furniture and wardrobe with
6 much zest we would revive, nt the
same time, and re-enthrono Home of
their sound und righteous principles of
honor to whom honor Is duo, our
dwellings and iicraons would not only
receive adornment, hut our land would
be toned up with n return or stable,
healthful public sentiment much need-'
ed to allay the fever 'and to purge off
the Impureness of our general social
and civil IlfV.
