WASHINGTON, September i.-The Gov

lady who spent some time among
the peasants of the Tyrol, says: " The
morning after our arrival we were awak-
ened by the sound of violin and flutes
under the window, and, hurrying down,
found the little no use adorned as for a
feast--garlands over the door and wreath
ing great high chair which was set in
state. The table was already covered
with gifts brought by the young people
whose music we had heard. The whole
neighborhood were kinsfolk, and these
gifts came from uncles and cousins in
every far-off degree. They were very
simple, for the donors are poor-knitted
gloves, shawl, baskets of flowers, jars of
fruit, loaves of bread; but upon all some
little message of love was pinned. is

How to Read Newspapers.

paratively few ? Yet hundreds who read
it, and never understood it, will think it
not new to them. All there is in para

jectives and adverbs may be important in
giving shades of meaning, but the thing
arrested is to be found in the noun and in
the verb. The sense of paragraph
twenty lines in length can be compre-
hended in an instant by the almost auto

and one can decide with the rapidity of
lightning by this process whether he
wishes to know any more about that mat

The Shady Side Of Fifty.

Thoughtful people on the shady side of
fifty begin to take some concern as to
how they shall adjust themselves to the
memorable advance of years. They make
rapid internal calculation of how long,
under favoring circumstances, they can
live, and what period of that time is
susceptible of any physical or mental
pleasure. They have already observed
the decay of vision and of hearing, and,
what is of more serious import, the de-
cline of that vivida uis dnin,i, the very
sparkle of the soul which enables one to
extract Joy from the common pastimes
and recreations of men. They find often
that not merely amusements which enter
tanned have ceased to do so, but that the
sober pursuits which once appeared to
have value are now regarded as only
tedious make-shifts to fill up the time.
When society, shows, books and business
alike pail upon the faded senses, there is
prospect for dreary old age, unless by
supreme effort of will the man rouses
himself from this intellectual lethargy,
and finds in action, in philosophy, or in
religion, some fresh charms in life itself
To guard against stupefaction seems to
be the chief desideratum. The dull
spirit is the miserable one. To escape
self and take an interest in others has been
found to be an excellent remedy for the
moral distemper that comes on with age
and robs the very sky of its splendors
and the fair earth of its graceful outlines.
No one ever profted greatly by self-brood-
ing. Go out among men, and survey
their daily lives and changeful fortunes,
and you cease to regard yourself as the
center of things. The man of fifty who
has preserved love of children has q
strong shield against the dreadful dry
rot, and if he has discovered any agreea.
BILE hobby he is doubly fortified. These
two things alone, combined with vigi
liant conservation of the health, will save
one from wailing like Solomon, and make
him take the cheerful view which Cicero
has immortalized in his De Senectute.'
1t should be added that whoever can cul
tivate love for the visible world Of
nature has partial refuge against spirit
ual despair. Bryant alludes to this il
the opening lines of Thanatopsis," ant
all the poets have certified to it in som'
form. TIE get thrill from the sea, from
the hills, from sheltered lakes, from
enameled meadows and the blue concav'
that clasps the warm earth, is sure sigr
that the soul still rules and reigns, ant
that the grave clods have not fallen upol
it, however dim the eve, or irresponsiv'
the ear, or tremulous the hand. So lonl
} as the spirit of man does not hang GU
the white flag in token of absolute sui
render there is joy in life. The cage
mind will find beauty in the air and il
} unseen spheres, and people will speak o
: the serenity of such an old man or woma
: with wonder and admiration.-Selected
