Emerson says somewhere Ut we could

Alright that one Of the advantages Of
growing old is, that "things adjust them
selves,"-a happy phrase, by which 1t
may be supposed he meant to hint that,
after 40 or so years Of sojourn in this vale
oitears, a man has resigned himself TO not
being a millionaire or genius, and q
woman has ceased TO envy bellies and
brides; and that people in general have,
BY that time, settled downinto the belief
that If, as the hymn declares, they can

to make fuss about their accoumoda-
tions, their fellow travellers, AND other
temporary. arrangements.
'There are 80 many pleasant people In
the world, it does not seem worth while to
worry oneself trying to get along with
the disagreeable ones; let them Alone"
said feminine philosopher. The more
one drifts along in the world, the more
sensible does the above remark appear.
You find pleasant people everywhere.
They answer your questions on thu, rail-
way; they make room for you On the
Street cars; you are introduced to them OF
friends house, aad have half on hours
delightful chat, Iand never see them on
earth again. 1t Is safe to say on earth,
because, however we may vary, In our
conceptions Of the other world, wei all be-
lieve there Is one, and that we shall all
get there, and that we poor humans who
think our numbers countless here, will
there be only q small tribe Of q great ma.
ton. However, in the course Of centuries,
we may hope to renew our acquaintance
with the winning mortals to whom we
were simply introduced here, without
time to gel, acquainted. ..,,,u4.
1t is true that, in middle age, one

youth, and sees all things in the plain
cold light OF reality, without even the
sunset glow OF regret with which old age
will look back upon them. Yet 1t is not
disheartening view Of this life. It Is
simple realization that men and women
are not as we believed them to be, when
we read novels. There = are. I. none
either entirely evil or altogether good.
They have possibilities Tor both entirely
beyond the power of fiction to describe.
1t is a realization that the things for
which we longed, and prayed, and toiled,
were nothing to'us after all; but the spir:
itual state, which dictated our prayers and
tolls, was everything, and yet we never
suspected it. WTcH-HAzEL.
