Too many are disposed to make a grab-bag game of life, and this is the reason so many get raghag rewards. Man is a free-chooser, all right, and often a mighty poor one. It is only the few who come to know that they may help themselves most by helping oth- ers. Man’s life, to be what it was de- signed to be must always flow outwards. That which a man gives out enriches his life in a way money cannot. The most lasting and satisfying things of life, like hope and love and peace, money cannot buy. We do not think it, but parsimony just contributes to meanness. Selfishness is a real soul- shrinker. The man who doesn’t count among his treasures the quali soul that are eternal is not rich. Old people miss the handy man—the man who can cook and garden and shingle the barn, build fences, or sharpen the knives and scythes, shoe a horse and do most anything in the line of useful work. Then there was the man who could let himself out as a coachman and a butcher and a dairy- man and a groom and a horse-breaker and a slushy and a farm laborer and ever 1y things all rolled into one. And there were as many combinations of them as there are comgbinations of locks, but, like the pass@iger pigeon, the handy man is only remembered now because one is discovered sionally.

However, I think their view is whong. Remembering hap- pier things should bring back to us in later life the pleasure expeériencad when those things occurred, and such remembrance should be the crown of happiness and not of sorrow. A recent letter from an old friend recalls to me the delightful place and time when I first met her, and formed the friendship which has lasted all these years. The place was a quiet New Hamp- shire town, where in summer time we spent weeks of rest. An old colonial mansion a half-mile up the hill from the village was filled each summer vith people from the city, the group varying from year to year, but every year containing some of the same ones, tired school teachers, glad to forget duty and dignity and to enjoy a life of fun and frokc. The hcuse was a study of itself with its reminders of former times, The rooms were'low and wainscotted with panelled woodwork, finished with eiaborate carving, and doors of the same style. Corner posts and cross- beams attested to the age of the old mansion. The mantels were high and narrow gnd built around the corners of the ® chimneys. Open fireplaces with their quaint furnishings -of and- irons or, what is more unusual to us, the Franklin stove with its fittings for armth on chilly August days. It'al- smoked, but what of that. A cep stairway with narrow, high steps, alway: threatening breakneck falls and scldom bestowing them, tempted us to climb up and down, thm?h an_ easier flight of stairs led up from ' the front hall. The small- paned windows were another delight wihere the panes were of greenish glass distort2d the wvision into various unnatural forms. Surely never were a more delightful house opened for summer guests. | The outside attractions were equally great. Looming -up at the east rosa Mt. Monadnock showing its clean-cut outline whenevetsit was not obscured by fox. What a jolly day we spent friding there d climbing to the sum- mit! At the rear of the house was a granite quarry, from which the stone had been removed leaving a perpen- dicular descent of a hundred feet from cur premises to the street below. The arn was unoccupied and open for our L Our artistic member used it for studio and received much gratuitous dvice from those of us who knew less of art than she did. Th wn was divided by a wali to the entrance of the house. A large eim shaded it, and threw its roots to the surface, making it very e we had our croquet . and a skilful shot was needzd the ball-from one side of the ground to the other, leaping the walk | and tree-roots on the way, but rare port we had there. Farther up the hill stood an old tous?, known to all as “Bleak House," so named not from any relation to Dickens’ story, but because its posi- tion exposed !t to all the winds from whatever quarter they blew. Half~ way down the hill to the village was ‘ a curiosity in architecture, an octa: gonal house, while on tha hill not fai away the antiguarian of the family took delight in an old cemetery with its ancient lettering and spelling, th headstones bearing the skull and cross. bones carved upon them. Our hostess, too, was a constant di. version. More than seventy years had passed over her head, but, in spite of much sorrow and care, had left her still youthful in look 'and manner. Her black hair was barely streaked with gray, her lithe, slender form was as active as ever. and no merry-mak- ing was so complete as when she could join it. Her only pet was a New- foundland dog which certainly was very intelligent. He seemed to un- darstand so well what was sai@ in his presence. He had a habit at one time of driving the hens from their.nests and taking the new-laid eggs to the house in his mouth. For this he was whipped, and apperently had reform- . He heard his mistress tell a neigh- bor of it one day. and straightway went out to the henhouse and returned with an egg in his mouth. Like most dogs he enjoyed a frolic. How many of that group of idlers, I wonder, re- member the day when a youthful or- gan-grinder strolled into our midst. He was pjlaced on the walk in front of the open door. A collection of pen- nies was made from the inmates of the house and doled out to him one at a time, as he ground out his tunes. At last the girls fall to dancing in the wide front hall, while others of us sat on the stair to look on and applaud. Soon appeared the lady of the house and her dog. Seizing his paws she joined the dance as lightfooted as any, the dog enjoying it all as well. Even the family cat was an enter- tainment to us. A mysterious rapping called someone to an outside door opening into the dining room. On answering the summons no one ap- peared except the cat, which gener- ally was given a tidbit, and then took his departure by way of the kitchen, only to repeat the performance. Close - watching revealed the fact that our fine cat had found a loose bit of weather-strip on the door, and experience had taught him that pull- ing the strip brought someone to ad- mit him to the dinihg room. How many of us can recall the nights when we went out to serenade our friends in the neighborhood. One of our number furnished the tenor, while the heaviest alto of the group sang bass. But now the group have scattered to many places. “Some are married; some are dead.” I don’t even know who lives in the old house. I only hope the others remember the old times as happily as I do. ; AN IDLER. ting a little geothermal chap and he of Cape C earlier than practice in making iso-' lines. ck is a freaky just gives the south side »d ‘a Dblack frost two weeks the north side, to disturb | of men.

One of the commonest of mistakes is to think that a thing is over, when in reality we cannot see the real end of the matter. Nature is constantly fooling us in this respect. We imagine in childlike reliance on the calendar only, that a given season has run its course. But lo and behold, winter lingers in the lap of spring. Just r we have packed away our sum- mer clothing and are in a mood for the bracing air of autumn an un- | eeasonably hot day in late September or early October tells us that Dame Nature is a coquettish old damsel and that we must learn not to consider one season entirely gone even when for moment appearances would favor that hypothesis. In the realm of pleasure we often érr in thinking that a past delight is an added delight. Prene we are after an exceptionally fine time, a charming house party, for example, or a trip to Burope, to say: “Well, that's over, entirely gone. Oh, woe is me. Now I've got to come down from th clonds and live in the old ruts again.” But wait; you have not mastered the cience of happinees if you have not learned to hold on to your sources of joy, even though detached from them. Here is memory, for example, ready to store away the sensations that are worth keeping and to repeat them y as a faithful photograph provided vou will only cail up- ur various recollections to coma into the open and alow you to those golden days on the out live over Rhine or in the Adirondack camp, that charming afternoon with the friend you had not se2n for years, that morning when you visited a historic shrine associated with heroes of other times. Are we going to be so foolish as to g0 into the future unenriched by what we have learned and enjoyed aiready? Or are we sensible and shrewd enough to incorporate into the very fibers of cur natures the experiences which from day to day make life sweet and interesting and worth while. A man ought to so link his years together that neither disaster nor the flight of me or event of death shall rob him of what he has already had. A similar attitude ought to be cul- tivated toward the opportunities of life. Middle-aged people need to re- mind themselves that mnot ail the prizes dangle before the eves of youth. To be sure, it is not pleasant to reach 40 or 50 without having “arrived”, to quote the language of the str2et. But non-achievement may not always be due to shiftlessness or wrongdoing.

Nor need we think that we have ex- hausted the good will and forbearance of others, however much we may have triad them. A little girl the other day helping in the kitchen, dropped some dishes and ran ‘weeping upstairs to her mother, sobbing out as she went, “Oh, mamma, I've broken all your best china and I guess you are through with me.” But a pitying look and a reassuring word from that sam> pa- tient mother put her at ease again. There is no end to the stores of ten- derness and compassion laid up in the heart of a-true parent. Thers is no limit to a_ real friend's consideration and love. Never think you have reach- ed the vanishing point so long as there is a spark of manliness left in vou. In the sphere of religious faith we sometimes think we have arrived at the end of the way. The opponents of righteousness have more than once thought that they had disposed not only of its exponents, but of the thing itself. Many a Herod has exclaimed in surprise: “John I beheaded, but who is this?” Even the friends of religion in dark days have despaired of its ultimate coriquests. Peter sat down in deep gloom in the judgment hall “to see the end. His betrayed and ar- rested Master, had, in Peter's judg- ment, coma to the end of his career and of his influence. Peter lived to see that same Master a potent force in the Roman world and Christianity a crescent religion. Let us never think th2 way of good- ness, of aspiration, of human useful- ness is arrested by an impassable bar- rier. It must go through and over it into a everbroadening thoroughfare. THE PARSON. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Old Tree and the Young. Mr. Editor: As much as the Water- bury Republican may spray its young tree with commendation, it looks as if the 70-vear-old Baldwin would show a greater fruitage, when the harvest is gathered. “Apples of gold in pictures of silver” may be very pretty, but. under the circumstances, not exactly adapted to please the stomach of republicanism, which for so many years has treated its stomach as tenderly as if it were “the apple of the eye.” A political body, which is made up of human bodies, needs good food for proper digestion, because it is that more than anything else on which de- pends healthy and vigorous growth. Some things in politics are very much like inferior cider apples—more or less rotten, gnarly and wormy, but at the mill of the gods through which the worm goes, the worm is often ground exceedingly fine.
