ON HER BIRTHDAY,

Her years steal by like birds through cloudless
skies,
Soft singing as they go;
She views their night with sunshine in her
eyes.
She hears their music low,
And on her forehead, beautiful and wise,
Shines loves most holy glow.
There is no pain for her In Times soft flight.
Her spirit is SO fair;
Her days shine as they pass her, in the light
Her gentle doings wear;
On her fair brow 1 never saw the night,
Brt hopes glad star 81 TOE s,Ssrs.
1t Is blessing just to see her face
Pass like an angels by
Her soft brown hair. sweet eyes, and lips that
The smiles that round them lie;
The brightest sunbeam In Its heavenly place
Might joy to catch her eye.
Dear life. that groweth sweeter, growing old!
bring this verse to thee,
A tiny flower, but in Its cart the gold
or lasting love from me;
While In my soul that deeper love hold
Too great for man to see.

WILLING TO TURN HER CoAT.-A West
ern Michigan wool buyer who was circula-
ting among farmers to engage their clips
met with one who was inclined to look upon
the matter as kind of gambling affair.
"You agree to buy my wool for so much,
month in advance of shearing," said he.
s'How do you know that wool won't 60 up
or down? The price may be too much or
not enough. 1t looks like flying in the face
Of Providence" After long argument
he agreed to leave it to his wife, and she re-
piled:

HoME.-Here is man who has been
down town all day, in the full tide of care
that from morning to hight floods the mar.
kets, Offices and streets of our great cities
Tired, nervous, irritable, possibly a little
disheartened, he starts for his home. If it
is winter, when he enters there is a bit of
bright fire that makes bad temper seem
like sin by the contrast; noise ofchildren
that is not dissonant, and an evident care
for his comfort, telling palmer than any
words how constantly he has been in the
mind of the house-mother while breasting
the stress and strife of the day; while a low,
sweet voice, that excellent thing in woman,
greets HIM with words that ripple over the
fsvered spirit like cool water. And the
man who can nurse bad temper, after that,
deserves to smart for it. There is no place
on earth into which man can 60 with such
perfect assurance that he will feel the shad-
ow Of healing as into such home as that.
1t is tho very gate of heaven.-Robert Coll

WHAT DOES 1T MATTER?
ELLA WHEELER.wILCox.

Wealth and glory, and place and power,
What are they worth to me or you?
For the lease of life runs out in an hour.
And death stands ready to claim his due;
Sounding honors or heaps of gold,
What are they all when all is told?
pain or pleasure, a smile or a tear
What does it matter which we claim?
For we step from the cradle into the bier,
And careless world goes on the same.
Hours of gladness or hours Of sorrow,
What does 1t matter to us tomorrow?
Truth Of love or vow of friend
Tender caresses or cruel sneers-
For the brief day dies and the long night
nears.
Passionate kisses. or tears of gall,
The grave will open and cover them all.
Homeless vagrant, or honored guest,
Poor and humble or rich and great,
All are racked with the worlds unrest.
All must meet with the common fate.
Life from childhood till we are old,
What is all when all is told?

EARLY NEW ENGLAND.
Social Life Among tho Immediate De-
scendants of the Puritans.

Social Life Among tho Immediate De-
scendants of the Puritans.
The grade in social life, which was
largely name, was shown most in the
Westinghouse. The seating of families
and the assigning of pews was one of
the difficult things. The minister and
deacon were nearest the pulpit. The
boys and colored people were assigned
the back pews or those in the gallery.
This idea of ''socal dignity" was
brought from the old country, but gave
way in the growing oneness of life in
America. The days of the early New
Highlander were not all dark. There
was much of the austere in them, but
there was also a grain of mirth and
cheerfulness. We must bear in mind
that the clergymen were the early his
torians of the country, and they put
much gloom in their writings. The New
England inn was a place of great resort.
In the poverty of newspapers, people
came here to gain what news there
might be. The inn-holder was a lead
ing man in the community. He got the
news from the driver and passengers OF
the stage coach, and of the travellers
who CHANGED to be passing through the
town. The inn-holder knew the public
men of the country, for they had par
taken of his sumptuous dinners and had
lodged at his inn. If the walls of these
ancient New England taverns could talk
what stories would they tell; not of the
debauches alone, in the dark and stirring
days of patriotic and loyal sentiments
and deeds, whose influence went out fol-
the founding of the nation and the per-
petuity of the blessings of freedom. Hi
who strives to know of early New Eng
land, must not look alone to the learn
ing, character and influence of its min
listers, but the manners, life and infiu
ence of the inn-holders.-NeU England

a GOOD MAN.
william Reese, the Oldest Living Puddlor
in the United States.

William Reese, the oldest Living fuuuior
In the United States.
William Reese, of Bolivar, Penn, the
oldest living puddler in the United
States, was born at Glostershire,
England, June l, 1888. He worked in
Wales for Messrs. Fayer & Joyel, at
Slanelly, and for the Crosha's at
Gafastha, and for Messrs. Bayliss at
Nontsglo. On the goth of June, 1915,
he walked five miles to witness a grand
illuminating at Abergavassy, cele--
brating the victory at Waterloo and
the downfall of Napoleon. In 1918 he
married Elizabeth Joseph. In early
years he and his wife united with the
Baptist church at Llannennerth, at
which place he often heard Francis
Hiles and Christmas Evans preach.
In 1882 he brought his family to
America, and was employed by Messrs.
Reeves & Whitaker, at Phenixville,
thirty miles from Philadelphia. In
1888 he succeeded in gathering a
sufficient number of Baptists together
to form church, and thus the first
Baptist church of Phenixville was
formed, fifty-three years ago. In 1884
he was engaged by Thompson & Savage
to build iron works. and he removed
with his family to the wild mountain
region, fifteen miles from Huntington,
Penn. Here in the mountain gorge on
the banks of Trough creek. he built a
charcoal blast furnace, run-out fire, two
knobbing fires, one dandy pudding fur
mace, with hammers and rolls for work
ing the iron. He made his own draw
ings and superintendent every thing IN
the construction and running of the
works. He didn't like to hear the
wolves growing around the house at
night. SO he removed his family
to Belfonte in 1885. and was en-
gagged in introducing the pudding pro-
cess at Valentines & Thomas works.
In 1887 he removed with his family to
Pittsburgh and was engaged with
Hogg. Benler & Co. and others. He
was practical iron-worker in all its
branches and taught his boys the
theory and practice of metallurgy. He
had five sons and five daughters. The
wife and three children have gone be-
fore, while seven children and the
father are still living. Pittsburgh Dis

THE IRISH ALPHABET.
A Pretty and Poetic System of Naming
the Latin Letters.

the Latin Letters.
Our alphabet came directly to us from
the Irish missionaries and professors of
religion and wisdom, who taught Chris
tianity to the heather Angles, Saxons,
Jutes, Goths, Germans, Danes and
Swedes several centuries after the death
of our Lord. Instead OF using the
Latin names for the letters taken from
the Christian Romans, they gave them
names of their own. Their wise and
pious men had been members of, OF
were the pupils of, class of learned
heathens called the Druds. In ancien,
Ireland, drui, was prophet, priest,
doctor and magician, and the name
seems to be connected with our word
tree. 1t was against the rule of the
Druids to write things down. They
were in the habit of retiring to the
deepest woods for meditation and study
sometimes attended by pupils. That il
probably the reason why the Irish
among whom the Druids retained
their power the longest-becauss
Ireland was the hardest to reacf
of all the great islands Whereabouts, ant
the last to feel the changes taking plac.
elsewhere in Europe-chose this pretty
system of naming the letters of thu
Latin alphabet when it became com
mon. Instead of calling A, alpha, a
the Latins usually did, they said A
aim, the word which stood in thei
language for palm-tree and came, il
sound, nearest to alpha, and began witt
an n. Instead of beta they said BETH
the word for birch-tree, almost the sam
in sound as the Phenician, but quit
different in meaning. And so with tn
other letters: Coll, hazel; DUR, oak
eadha, aspen; fearan, alder; go,t, ivy
huath. whitethoru; iogha, yew; luts
mountain ash; NUN. vine; NUN, ash
DIR, broom; peith, dwarf elder; suil, wi
low; teine, furze; ar, heath. The
called this alphabet bethIuisnioa, choos
ing out the letters b. L and N, instea
of the letters A and b, to form name
