Among friends, presents ought to be made of
things of small value; or, If valuable, their
worth should be derived from the style of the
workmanship, or from some accidental circum-
stance, rather than from the inherent and solid
richness. Especially never offer to a lady q
gift of great cost it is in the highest degree
indelioate, and looks as if you were DESTROYS
Of placing her under 6 an Obligation to
ladies to gentlemen are of the most refined
nature possible; they should be little articles,
not purchased, but deriving a priceless value
as being the offspring of their gentle skill; q
little picture from their pencil or a trife from
their needle. present should be made with
as little parade as possible. If it is small
matter--a gold pencil case, a thimble to lady,
or an affair of that sort-it should not be offer
ed formally, but in an indirect way. Emerson
says: Rings and other Jewels are no gifts,
but apologies for gifts. The only gift is a
portion of myself Thou must bleed for me.

THE LITE .aBRL HOUGHTO.v.

The 81. Adams Messenger publ shes the
following notice of Mr.. Abel Houghton,
whose death at that place occurred Sept.
4th -
1t is some years since the venerable form
of Abel Houghton was seen in the walks of
active business life, but now that he has
been called to his final rest he is remem-
bered by his old neiehbors and friends as
he was when last they mingled with him,
and the character Of an honest, industrious
and successful man is studied with pleasure
and profit. That he was all this-and more
IA peaceful citizen, an eXemplar in NOR
ais and a man whose kindly bearing made
and held fast many friends, and about
whom even the children loved to gather in
his walks on 1.-The down-hill of liie,"s may
be truly said. AS a custodian of other peo-
pies money, he proved faithful and prof
table servant and set an example worthy
elimination in this more degenerate day.
He patronized education and promoted re-
ligion. Quiet and unostentatious, he de-
voted himself TO the duties OF life which
came in his way, avoiding the stormy
scenes ofpublic life but never Sinking the
duties and responsibilities of the citizen.
In the truest sense of the term, he was al
ways gentleman and all who knew him
say "a good man has gone"
The late Abel Houghton was the son of
James Houghtop, of Guilford, Vermont,
where he was born on the 2Sth of April
1890. He was the eldest of three children.
The second Mrs. Charles Phelps, of Towns
bend, Vt.,) died about year ago, and the
youngest (Mr. James Houghton, of the city
of New York; has been dead about thirty
years. The late Abel Houghton was a self
made man, having cared for himself from
the age of fourteen. For several years he
was In the service of the late Mr.. Henry,
at Halifax, VT. In Guiford, he pursued
the mercantile business during the war of
1872. On the 18th of September, 1917, he
was married TO Miss Emilia Stebbins,
daughter of Col. Asa Stebbns, of Deerfield,
Mass, who still survives. Mr.. Houghton
continued in the mercantile business in
Brattleboro until about the year 1928, when
he removed TO st Adams to become Cashier
of the Bank of st. Adams. In that capacity
he was we'll known to our older residents
for many years, and until the expiration of
its charter. Since that occurrence he has
lived in comparative retirement. In the
latter part of June, 1867, Mr.. Houghton
was attacked with painful malady which
compelled him TO confine himself more or
less closely to his own residence. During
the last three years the state of his health
was such as TO require the unremiiting and
most wa.chful care and attention on the
part of his immediate family.
OF the five children of Mr.. Houghton
only three are living. The eldest (Mrs.
Emilia $. Stubbs) died at New Brunswick
New Jersey, on the 10th of April 1857 and
the second George Frederick Houghton)
in this tow y on the 22d of September, 1870.
