Transplanted to Maasachu- its soil, it flourished there with a vigor and a tenacity of life in direct ratio to the hardships endured by the early settlers. It has since that time, and In general for .our good, served to modity our outlook on life, our code of laws, our very habits of ‘thought. It was a fine old spirit, and, if it had ita limits and its drawBaeks, its influence on the whole was for propriety of eon- duct and cleaniiness of life. It erops out now and then, however, in ways that clash with the broadet mindedness of our era.

A great many precious things are missed be- cause the human heart is closed to ‘ihem. The progressive people in this world are looking for shares—for divi- dend-paying shares—and many of them are to be had without money and without price. The mighty men of this ag: are sharing their thoughts with all who read in all fields of lit~ erature and research and discovery. Sharing greatness is no mean occupa- tion; and that is what all do read for a purpose. The groatness of the past and the present is ours to share Just for the application, for books are free ‘and readily obtainable. Sharing such knowledge is what makes meén happier and greater and morej useful. ‘Thees gharcs are not the kind One ¢an lock up in the safe or procure a mort- gage upon: but they assurediy pay the largest profits in the breadth and power'they 4 % those Who, Boases | them. like the youngster who when he gets out among folks talks about and “our folks” and " There is unity in that little “our,” amd it tells more than most people think.

Who would have thought that s board of literary people could have devoted themselves to the study of determining the twen. ty-five most beautiful words In the English language and left out the word Mother, which 1s the dearest word to every human heart, and whose love for her children is typical of Divine love? “Oh, the love of a mother,” wrote Vietor Hugo; “love which ‘none can forget.” And think of the attentive reverence a largs number of devout Christians give to the Mother of our Lord. It does not | seem to us as if the twenty-five most beautiful words in the English lan- gnage had been truly assembled with Mother left out. Those whoe have learned to keed their troubles to themeelves and those who have learned to laugh, are pretty weil equipped for life. It has been truthtully s2d that a good laugh is better than medicihe; and that a hard-luck story is not one to be told, is proven by the few people whe have patience to listen to ome. Tt is our aches and paine and our grimaces which soon make nufs- ances of us; and our patience and per- soverance and smiles that make the way pleasant and profitable. Soma people think they can only be what God made them, falling to recognize thet God made the mind. and mind | dulled is responsible for the fool. To | be conscfous that mind is the co-oper- | ative plane on which God and man work together for good is to generate power. | When we consider the fact that | sclence says man has been eighteen million years upon the earth, we a: not fmpressed with his wonderful pro- grese.

How natural it seems to be for the big man to get a little wite, and for a big woman to get & lfttle husband; but there is no-such thing as telling who is boss by the helghth, breadth or weight of them. You have seéen n wasp makea half dozen buman beings run—four grains of spunk and a sting against six hundred pounds of flesh and blood. Well, that is the way it goes in Jife.

As a rule, the can- tdidates are selected from men active in whatever business or profession they may be engaged in. ‘It is taken for granted that they' know how to economize time and can undertake ad~ ditional wérk. A very busy woman said to me as I admired her plans for #aving time: “I have been -compelled to devise quick methods of work, for I hed no time to do otherwise.” A common remark in every com- mumity is, with regard to a new en- terprise, “If Mr. Smith will take hold of it. the proposition will go through all right,” or “If you want to make a Success of this, ‘get Mrs. Brown or 'Miss Thompson to take charge of it.” “But they are aready so much in de- mand” may be the reply. “Never mind thet” will be the answer, “they will find time for this. you may be sure, if you can only get them inter- ested in the matter. And what is true of r-ouo is true of other things as well. TI've never heard February complain of overwork, but certainly our shortest month has very much to be responsible for. I doubt if any other can show any great- er Hst of duties and celebrities than the second month in the year's calen- dar, and how little we recognize the fact s anything unusual. The second of February is blessed for foretelling an early spring or blamed for_predicting opposite. can. she know, poor thing, about groundhogs and their fears of their shadows! The people who pin their faith are the ones who are affrighted at shadows. Candlemas Day, this same day is called, and it has often been considered thé central dividing line of winter. From this comes the 1d rhyme: ‘Halt your wood and half your h: Must be in store on Candlemas Day. Then comes St. Valentine’s Day, with its many opportunities for fun and foolishness, for Cupid and cupidity. The children would _dislike to take Valentine’s Day from February’s man- agement, and many of their elders have the same feeling. More than one writing-lesk in town, if ransacked, might reveal hidden treasures to the gaze of outsiders, who little suspect the romance so long,carefully conceal- ed from all except those immediately concerned. ‘When we think of all the famous people whose birthdays occur in Feb. ruary, we are overwhelmed with wo: der that one short month can contain $0 much.

For him, ¢vo, a birthday is found in F .’ Shar- | ng the same birthday with Washing- ton is James Russell Lowell, one of our most cherishad New Eagland writ- ers. How we have all enjoyed his Biglow papers! They did a great po- litical work, though peeple laughed over them. A close obscrver of Na- ture, he furnished the most delightful nature estudies, and nothing is too minute to escape his: notice or too | trivial to afford him keen delight. He even appreciates being robbed of his fruit by the birds he so dearly love: and positively enjoys, the true philos opher that he is, their adroitness in out-generaling him in_ gathering his harvest of grapes. Elmwood was to him the abiding ‘place of many a winged brother, whose company made him_exceedingly happy, and for whom ho proved a most generous host. In { fact, I have sometimes thought that he felt the birds twere the real proprie- tors and he the interloper on the, land, and that he should be grateful for the tolerance they showed inallowing him a small share of its produce. Then his delightful essays of biography, his | poems in more serious mood, all en- dear him to us. while his. services as ambassador to England served to show still another phase of his varied tal- ents. Neighbor and near friend to Lowell is_Longfellow, also one of February's offerings to the world’s literature. Cherished above most authors at home, he like Lowell was honored abroad. So greatly did he excel as a Dpoet, that we often overlook or under- estimate his prose writings, yet few more delightful accounts of travel can be found than those springing from his foot-wanderings over Europe, where he grew so familiar with the people and thelr speech. His editorial work alone would give him high Tank among journalists, but we think littls of that so long as we have the vast number of his short poems, familiar as_household words. From babyhood to old age all classes find something in his portfolio to suit the individual taste amd need. Hardly a day goes by that some of his melo- dious verse is mot recalled by the or- dinary occurrences of commonplace | affairs, yet he rises at times to ve: | lofty heights. Even then. he is =o imple and pure that plain, simplo | minds can_easily follow him to their | delight and profit. No wonder that he was a favorite with the children of Cambridge: no wonder ¢hat he was the idol of the students at Harvard: no wonder that he has become the ‘especial pride ot | Portland. his native town, and of Cam | bridge, the city of his life's work. % { like best of ail the thought that his words are repeated in so many differ- | ent languages and are treasured in | | the memories of common people ev- | erywher: uch a tribute is rare and | above all/price. i musings concerping Fob- A0 not go _outside our own but should we cross the ocean, what vast additions should we ake to our list!
