To Learn How to Let Go.

There Ii lesson only learned as we
grow old, which lightens materially the
burden which was borne in earlier
years 1t is the lesson to let CO. to
leave hold, to give up. II is lesson
very slowly and very hardly learned,
through discipline which may well be
called heart-breaking. am not think
ing now of the leaving go our hold upon
those who must go before us from this
world, but only of the ceasing to hold
or what we think we hold, in our pro-
tecting grasp those who must go out
from us, who must go away. You fam
cied you must keep your children al
ways about you; that you could not
speak round them all that they could
not live unless this were so. Even when
one and another must 60 out from I'M
der the roof, you seemed still to be
keeping your hold of them; still direct
ing what they should do. You had to
learn to let 90. You could not keep
your hold; it was needless; they d d
not want you to do it. 1t is natural 10
desire to keep in your hand all that
you care for.
remember well how one who, after
MANY years of modest means, sudden
ly succeeded to Il large fortune, was
bewildered on learning in how many
various ways and places these scores OF
thousands were invested; and said
earnestly: 81 wish | had it all tied up
in bag and put under my pillow" So
would staple minded parents keep
| their children under the paternal roof.
OF course it cannot be; and you must
be reconciled, as you can, TO your boys
being far away. 81 have them in every
corner of this world" a worn mother
said to me the other day, speaking OF
the boys and girls of a great household
which the last few years have scattered
wide: 81 did not think could have
lived; but you see am living after all. u
The words were said with very sad
smile. Yes, you are living, and work
ing; but the absent are never forgotten,
certainly never for single day. 1t re-
mains strange that the bright face has
gone out from your door, and that going
about your vocations you never can
meet in the familiar ways round the
hopeful presence nor hear the pleasant
voice. The letters from distant coun-
try are well, and you make much of
them; but no page that pen ever travel
ed over can look at YOU like the kindly
familiar face, like the glistening eye.
Still you go out cheerful1y on the day
which brings out the Australian OF In
dian mail: and you learn gradually
that they can do without you, can stand
well on their own feet now, have got
out of your charge and care. You
have let them go. Perhaps it was fall
ing to lower level when you did so.
But the burden is little lightened.
You have not so much to do as you
once thought you had. Possibly you
never were doing so much as you val
ly fancied. -Fraser's Mdgasine.
