often the only lettered citizen of the parish
 and always it's social head; to his odd cross-
 grained rural flock. houndsring through
 snowdrifts to crowd the arctic sanc-
 tuary and, while tbeir bodies froze,
 warm their souls on fiery dogma
 men, serious and reflective, who, to use another's phrase, always took up the poker of life at the red-het end; to the youngster of the congregation to whom the enduring tortures of the meeting house seemed fore taste of those eternal penalties so vigorously proclaimed from the pulpit, and to all the other queer outgrowths of that pious epoch, the singing school, equally prolific in discord and match.making, and the sewing society clothed heathen abroad. All these much mixed and contradictory clements of the Old New England theocracy, blending intoler- ance with independence, cramped dog matism with sublime zeal and do nestle severity with neighborly kind ness, come again luminously to view when we trace up the long line of New Haven meeting houses from the dignifed Center church to the sacred block house on the Green. The austere fathers of the meeting house, upon whose dust all around the Gen. ter church an unsanctified generation daily treads, could they rise in the flesh would perhaps feel like putting on corruption anew should they hear an orchestra on Commence ment day render the airs Of Italian opera in ths singers gallery, or find each Sunday in thodoxy has assailed. Yet they might per haps discern, far better than their own gloomy subtleties, a sunnier faith, more cheerful philosophy and a broader and brighter theory of peace and good will to men.

question of those forgetful of self. Ask our Florence Nightingales ss they stand by the bedsides of the suffering, administering balm to both soul and body. Ask our philanthro- pists, our Peter Coopers; inquire of such as these what the crowning glory of old age means? Will they not tell you, my inquiring friends, that it is the consciousness of being of some use in life? That it means the grateful acknowledgement of present mer- cies, and gladly sharing life's sunshine with those less favored. If we cannot smile our selves let us not stand in the light of those who can and will. As Diogenes requested his followers to step out of his sum- shine, and not take that from him
 they could not give, SO we implore these small fault-fndsrs to keep their long faces and morose dispositions for 6 more conven- lent season than the joyous present. Joy is contagious, and even when the rain sprites frolic out of doors, brighter may the sunbeams gleam within from the effect of contrast. How can we become lonely and heart chilly when such entertaining company can be ours by just unclosing our bookcase door and inviting Shakespeare, Walter Scott and Dickens to step out and amuse us. If we prefer the company of our own country folk, only whisper the names of Washington Irving, 1k. Marvel, Mrs. H. B. Stow, and pray forget not that charming story-teller, Louisa Alcott. Read Beecher's life Thoughts" end then tell us if life is worth living. Life is preparatory school for 8 higher plane, only a daily discipline in 8 lower grade, for that transition when trembling hope shall be changed to full fruition. This glad life train ing has teachers in the starry heavens above our heads as we'll as in the flowers that kiss our feet. From svery cloud burst and golden sunset, from every electric glow that glsri- fes our northern sky, from every dewdrop that moistens our thirsty earth, the Great Master would teach us that life is worth the living. The trouble is in the dullness of the pupils in applying the lessons taught. To be quite sure this question is answered. aright, improve these holidays upon which we are entering by sharing your bountiful gifts with those less favored, and then you will surely be able to answer this ever recurring question in the affirmative. s.

..Is Life Worth Living g,

st1s Life Worth Living ?''
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 According to the preachers ssvanity of vani- ties, many of us whisper no. But VIC have always doubted the inspiration Of this writ or, as we perused such doleful passages. As some books in the Old Testament are consi- dezed apocryphal, why not include in the number Ecclesiastes2 It Is a very comforta- ble kind of doubt, for we do not wish to believe life is all vanity, and, more than that, we will not. We have plenty of such men, tai hypoohondriacs among us nowadays and we do not find it necessary to go back befors Christ for examples. Some people know too much for comfort and ra- tional enjoyment. They always seem to be scanning with microscopic exactness each joy and each blessing, as Providence dis penses them. We thoroughly agree with Henry Ward Beecher, that the Lord can live with some people that we cannot and if through his great mercy thess minute an- alyzers of present benefits should reach heaven, we fear the pageuents would be sub ject to severe critical test, in order to report how many carats fine is the gold with which they are inlaid. The quality of this real metal will need 50 be frightened eonsidera bly to reflect the small appreciation that peryades the souls of these grnmblers.

Free trade has not yet made England a paradise. During the last twenty years the number of persons employed in the manu- facture of cotton textiles in England has in- creased but it has been in the employment of larger relative and absolute number of fe- males. There has been a decrease of hands employed in the wool and worstod industries.
 and an immense depreciation of silk manu- factura; but the manufacture of .sshoddy'' goods has greatly increased. Cotton manu- fracture in Scotland has materially declined.
