social trammels, throw off the har-

for while. Old horses renew
their youth and become something
like colts again, by having a sea-
son Of rest and q free feed on fresh
dewy green grass. Men and women,
worn down with family cares and
business or professional duties,
need seasons Of rest, and having it,
they secure new leases of life, and
come home invigorated for another
long, strong pull at work of their
