HE Pennsylvania Railroad publishes! a list of 316 employees who have served the road for half a century or more in a humble capacity. One has the extraordinary record of 69 years of service and twelve have been in the company's employ for above 58 years. Other cases of a lifetime devoted to one employer are those of the office and the New York clerk who received a complimentary dinner on the conclusion of his half century of service with the same firm, But the dean of all faithful employees is the gardener on Lord Palmerston’s estate in England, who has worked there continuously for 76 years. A parallel instance of a life passed in a narrow environment was that of the Catskill farmer who lived for 98 years within a radius of four /miles of his birthplace. These examples of faithfulness and contentment command respect Such lives illustrate homely virtues which are growing rarer and con- trast with the careers of the rovers and rolling stones from whom so- ciety’s vagabonds are recruited. Yet they excite melancholy reflections on the opportunities lost and arouse sympathy for the humility which aspired no higher. Their sober wishes never learned to stray from the beaten patch. They revolved in the most contracted of orbits, content with their treadmill round and deaf to ambition. Men of this stamp are necessary to a nation’s stability. They give) Mt fixity and permanence. They anchor society. But in them lie none of the qualities which make for national greatness.

The American continent itself would be unknown, Civilization would be at a standstill. If these conditions of contentment prevailed boys would never leave the farm to win the great prizes of life.
