Since vertical writing has been adopted in
schools it has been considered necessary by
some to use a very stiff and hard pen, and
nearly all the pen makers recommend pens
of this heavy and unyelding description. 1t
is an error, however, to make them too stiff,
for sufficient action and t1exibiity are the
essential qualities of perfect pen 1t is we'll
known that many persons have tendency
to grip the holder and press too hard with
the pen. This habit can only be overcome
by using one made with some degree of
tiexibility and fineness of point, which COM
pels a lightness of touch, and helps toward
a graceful and gliding motion. Pens made
properly will be found to write smoothly
and are suitable either for the vertical or
ordinary slanting writing.
The Spencerian Vertical Pens No. 81,
carry out these ideas and possess this
smoothness of action and we'll tempered
frmness, together with the we'll known
superiority in finish of the Spencerian Pens
Samples will be sent free of charge to our
readers, if this item is cut out and sent with
name and address to the Spencerian Pen
Co. $50 Broome St., New York City.

ny Aged Friend.

She is nearing the four-score limit of
human life. Physically she is feeble, but
retains her mental faculties wonderfully.
She has seen many of life's changes, and
had many of life's sorrows, but has borne
them with patience and fortitude.
In childhood she remembered her Crea-
tor and in after years God kept her feet
firm in the slippery paths of youth, and
now in advanced years she finds Him a
refuge in times of trouble.
Whenever l see shrub or plant grow
out of the crevice of a rock it reminds me
of my friend s life. When great obstacles
block her pathway she knows how to
snrmount them. With one exception she
is the surviving member of large family,
who have crossed the dark river. With
the mental vision she sees the old school
house where she passed SO many happy
days. She is the only teacher left who
swayed her scepter in the old house. A
very small number survive of the pupils
who were seated within it's walls. She

who have passed through the gathering
shadows and Joined the great majority.
She often feels that the pleasures of life,
for her, have nearly all passed away. But
the thought comes to her mind that one
great comfort is left--the Book divine
She finds it lamp to her feet and light
60 her path that Eliminates her way.
When she reads His holy word, she calls
each promise hers.
"How precious is the Book divine,
BY inspiration given;
Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine
To guide our souls to heaven"
ut sweetly cheers our dropping hearts,
In this dark vale OF tears
And life and light and joys imparts
And banshes our fears
This lamp through all the tedious night
OF life shall guide our way,
Till we behold the clearer light
OF an eternal day"

her to the evergreen feds where the
flowers never fade and the tears are wiped
