! VALEDICTOBT.
Every man to accomplish the actual
must have an ideal What a train of
thought that one word "Ideal" leads
forth! An Ideal the Image of th. higher
f which, by li power, thrills one and
urge him on. A conception not only
to be aspired to and dreamed of, but to
be striven for; not only to be Imhated,
but to be equalled or surpasied. AH men
have their UleaU. An Ideal alone can
unify our abilities and power. He who
expects to attain success In life without
first deciding for what object he will
work, what end he will attain, la like a
carpenter who strive to build a house
without a plan: or the (culptor who
tries to mould a figure with no model In
his mind. A single stroke, without a
definite mental picture of the Image to
be wrought, might ruin the whole statue.
A man who strives with dogged deter
mination to make his ldal actual cannot
lack opportunities If he is ready to grasp
them a they present themselves.
Fame open all the entrances to her
palace to him and draws him, siren-like,
ever nearer, nearer by some Invisible
force. Purpose, who rule over the forest
outside of the palace, hew out a path
way which Faith, following closely after,'
smooths and rids of stumbling blocks.
Hope, which, according to the beautiful
myth of Pandora's box. remain, when all
