Old People.

There is a certain repose and cheerful
ness about old people which doubtless ex-
ercises healthy influence upon the
young, who are easily cast down and nat
urally impatient, not willing to wait for
the tardy revolutions of Fortunes wheel,
but must put their own shoulders to it
forthwith, and upon whom the soothing
atmosphere of their seniors acts like
sedative. To be sure, it has taken them
fourscore years, perhaps, to find out the
folly of fretting and striving after pre-
eminence. the futility Of jealousies, the sat-
isfaction of loving ones neighbor as ones
self, but they do not appear to feel as II
they had paid too dearly for the knowl-
edge. Being no longer in the maelstrom
of affairs, but lookers-on in Venice, they
can afford to smile indulgently at the
eagerness of youth in the pursuit of bau-
bles, knowing that its richest attainments
will fall far short of its desire and expec-
tation. They have learned, moreover, the
fine art of living in to-day, of welcoming
every hour, contented with what it brings,
never sacrificing it to the next; they have
learned set-repression, and appreciation
of trifes as well; if "few envy the con-
sideration enjoyed by the Oldest inhabI-
tant,'' neither does he envy youth its illu-
s,ons, its ferment, nor its seIf-conceit and
intolerance. II he has Outlived his USE
fulness, he has also survived many weak
nesses of his nature, while his blunders
have earned him the right to advise, and
his successes have taught him the value OF
defeat. What comfort there is in the
companionship of an old person! Har-,
assed by no mean anxieties for the NOR
row, her selfishness has fallen from her
like worn-out garment, and not COM
peting with US for the prizes of life, she
can offer disinterested criticism and coun-
sci without Offense to our egotism; she is
the connecting link between us and the
shadowy past that seems too unreal for our
recognition of the shapes which haunt it,
but which are actual, breathing presences
to her fading sight.
That hearth-stone is barren and prosaic
indeed where the grandmother does not
preside, evnking with the precious wand
/ of memory the glories of her generation, I,
till the "sad, imperfect tense" becomes
eloquent with romance, and we can readi'
ly forgive her if the fashions and
\ pleasures of to-day seem tarnished beside
the bright similitudes that scintillate
across her yesterdays--seem travestics
| upon the customs and ceremonlals OF her
heyday. The conversation OF old people
kindles the imagination, and puts us on
| familiar terms with the heroes of dead
1 and gone period, till we know their very
| tread, so to speak, and the trick of their
speech, while it abridges the awful dis
tame between US and our ancestors, and
establishes bond Of human sympathy -

Round Coats Among the "Menn0n.
iteS."

! About 100 years ago twas customary
to wear the so-ca1led round coat by nearly
all classes of people in this country, even
by the military. Some sixty years ago
double breasted and frock coats became
fashionable, and about thirty-six years
since the sack coat was introduced.
To the present time some of the religious
people known as " Menponiteep maintain
that persons Belonging 10 their church
ought to wear none but round coats. For
merly no male person was admitted to
membership unless he wore round coat.
About fifty years ago this rule was aban-
doned, and in many of the Mennonite con-
gregations men were admitted to member
ship in any style Of coat.
About, forty-seven years ago John H.
Oberho2t8rW WAS admitted to member
ship in$a Cblt that was round. In 1642
he was called to the ministry and was
duly installed, and several weeks there
after objection was made to the cut of
his coat, which. it was c0ntended, should
be- round, as he was a minister. He
naght at least to offlciate in round coat.
He protested, and argued that q minister
ought to have the privilege Of wearing any
style of coat he thought appropriate. but
he g would yield to Scriptural proof to the
contrary" -y W
The coat qnestion was finally. taken In
hand by the EastaEn- -PannsylYania. Men,
nonite Council in 1S44, and it was decided
that all the members of the Council
"who will not get round coats be expelled
until they do So" This decision was
considered by Mr.. Oberholtzer and some
other Council members as unscriptural,
and they did not obey it. They continued
70 preach without round coats, but did
mot attend the annual Council A number
of attempts were made up to 1847 to recon
cile the ninistefs when in that year .these
who did not think it necessary to wear
round coats prepared and offered to the
Council q little book entitled Ordi-
nance Of the Mennonite Community" for
adoption.
( The "little book" was not accepted,
and resolution was adopted at the Coun-
Gil held in October, 1647, al FraneOnia,
Montgomery County, :" that the new ordi-
nance is in contrsliction1o 10 the old eysn,

and that any member who signed tie new
ordinance will not be recognized by the

the document. In consequence Of this
action some eight preachers and eight

BANK of England notes are made
from new linen cuttings, never from
anything that has been worn. So care.
fully is the paper prepared that even
the number of dips into the pulp made
by each workman is registered on a
dial by machinery. and the sheets are
counted and booked to each person
through whose hands they pass. The y
are made at Laverstoke, on the river
Witt, in Hampshire, by family nam
ed Portal, descended from a French
Huguenot refugee, and have been
made by the same family more than
$50 years. Some fifteen years ago a
quantity of bank note paper was stol-
Ell by the completely of an employe,
and this occasioned great trouble, as
the printing is a comparatively easy
matter-the great difficulty with forg-
ers being the paper. The notes are
printed within the bank building, and
there is an elaborate arrangement for
securing that no note shall be exactly
like another.

A NEW grove of giant trees has re-
Gently been discovered in California,
about one hundred miles south of the
famous grove of Yosemite, 5000 feet
above the level OF the sea. Instead of
being a small cluster of thirty or forty
trees, like the Yosemite grove, it con-
tains over 10000 trees, and covers a
section of country six miles square.
The ages of the largest are estimated
at between 1000 and 900 years, while
there are thousands of young ones
from 100 to 1000 years old. Excava-
tions at the roots of these trees have
revealed their buried ancestors, some
Of them thirty feet i'll diameter, and
estimated to be 5000 years old.
