How to prOlOng Life.

II is tersely said that "all fools are mad,
though some are madden than others, "and,
perhaps. among the maddest of them il
would be safe TO reckon those who. hav-
ing but one life TO live, run through with
II in vain lamentation over troubles which
they cannot avoid, or what is vainer, over
those which they can, and which, some
times, are SO far in the future that they
never come to bother them, TO take
Time by the forelock," is a very profitable
grip to hold on that slippery old fellow;
but Trouble is not slippery. and we should
practice our haste and activity rather in
keeping out of her way as long as possible
to build wall Of mirth as il were, be-
tween her and us, over which her clumsy
feet would never venture to climb.
Gravity is grave thing. 1t may be ap-
propriate at certain times and in certain
places, but as an everyday dish it is
tough and indigestible. continual diet
of India rubber would, perhaps, be as
favorable 10 the growth and flourish of the
body and mind. Therefore, if We are
wise as well as grave, We can show our
wisdom In no stronger way than dropping
our gravity and playing the fool now and
then" Even Socrates himself knew the
danger of too much gravity, and fire.
quently took occasion to sink some of il
in the gay tide of merriment.
Mlrth, says an old writer, "purgeth the
blood, confirms health, caueth fresh,
pleasing and fine color, prorogues life,
whets the wit, and maketh the body young,
lively and fit for any manner of employ
ment." And if we need further proof of
its life-giving properties we can find it in
the Bible, spread forth in unequivocal ond
unmistakable words: "A merry heart is the
life of the flesh" saith Proverbs; and in
Ecclesiastes we are told that "Gladness
proloDgs q mans days"
In the plodding, matter of-fact days Of
the present, it seems, we have too little
time to think of much else than business,
serious business, and, when we come to
think of it, it is a serious business to have
our lives shortened with cares and labors;
cares and labors that would be great deal
more palatable and far less death dealing
if seasoned with little mirth and nom
sense.
Let us reform this altogether, and take
probably to heart Shakspeare's advice:
Frame your mind for mirth and merriment
Which bars a thousand harms"
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1888-06-27
Landing a Biz Salmon.

Before the fly has fairly lit, a great
fash of silver darts from the waves
close by the boat. He has hooked him
self with a rush, and the line goes whir-
ring madly from the reel as he races
down the pool. Keep the point of the
rod low; he must have his own way
now. Up with the anchor quickly, and
send the canoe after him, bowman and
sherman padding with swift strokes
He has reached the deepest water; he
stops to think what has happened to
him. We have passed around and be-
low him, and now with the current to
help us we can begin TO reel in. Lift
the point of the rod, with strong,
steady pull. Put the force of both arms
into it. The tough wood Will stand the
strain. The fish must be moved; he
must come to the boat if he is ever to
be landed. He gives little and yields
slowly TO the pressure. Then suddenly
he gives too much, and runs straight
toward us. Reel in now as swiftly as
possible, or else he Will get slack on
the line and escape. Now he stops,
shakes his head from side TO side, and
darts away again across the pool, leap
ing high out of water. Drop the point
of the rod quickly, for if he falls on the
leader he will surely break it. Another
leap, and another! Truly he is "a mer-
ry one" as Sir Humphrey Davy says,
and it will go hard with us to hold him.
But those great leaps have exhausted
his strength, and now he follows the
line more easily. The men push the
boat back TO the shallow side of the
pool until it touches lightly on the
shore The fish comes slowly in, fight
ing a little and making few short
runs; he is tired, and turns slightly on
his side; but even yet he is heavy
weight on the line, and it seems n won
der that so slight a thing as the leader
can guide and draw him. Now he is
close to the boat The bowman steps
out on roch with his gait. Steadily
now and slowly, lift the rod, bending
it backward. A quick, sure stroke of
the steel great splash and the
salmon is lifted high and dry upon the
shore. - " Salmon Angling on the
Restigouche," in Scribners Maya
