...leisure, what shall be done with it? Money is not valuable in itself; the necessity of earning a living is a great safeguard. It is easy to lose one's opportunity through dissipation. Far better is it to spend one's time in the pursuit of manly pastimes. But though play should make a part of every man's life, it should not make the whole of it. A third use of leisure is devotion to literary pursuits, without any result of consequence springing therefrom. Such a life gives little rest and less contentment...
...merely a brutal pounding match. And, however unfortunate this condition of things may be, yet it must be acknowledged that in the present unperfect state of our civilization, the higher education of women has not yet in this regard been carried as far as that of men. So though as believers in the broadest culture for both sexes, we should like to have our sisters learn to take hearty enjoyment in seeing such a performance; still in deference to the narrow prejudices caused by their unhappily defective training, we should as gentlemen spare them the sight of angry blows...

It is likely that many will object to the gloomy sentiment of this poem. Yet if an optimist will kindly...

Within five years, after a man enters railroading, he will be as far advanced as though he had entered a learned profession, provided he is equally devoted, industrious, abstinent and tenacious. Of the five departments, all of which lead to the top, the construction department gives a man an out-door life, the legal, on the whole is, perhaps, most congenial to the college-bred...
