A BEAUrIFUL 4HoUGHT.-When the
summer of youth is slowly wasting
away on the nightfall of age, and the
shadow of the path becomes deeper, and
life wears to its close, it is pleasant to
look at the vista of time upon the sor-
rows and felicities of our earlier years.
If we had home to shelter and hearts
to rejoice with US, and friends have
been gathered around our freside, the
rough places of wayfaring will have
been worn and smoethed away in the
twilight of life, and many dark spots
we have passed through will grow
brighter and become more beautiful.
Happy indeed are those whose inter-
course with the world has not changed

Gus, SO tender, and so touching 10 the
evening of their lives.
