carry in my memory the portraits
Of two dear old people-one as the
type of the bitterness. the other as
type of the sweetness of old age.
One, by nature, was harsh, exacting,
selfish, severe. She carried in her
mouth q viperous tongue. Her touch
was like q dagger. When she en-
tered a room she turned the tropics
to the poles. She insultedN callers
at her home. She never paused to
consider the feelings of others. She
lived in this way until she had no
friends, and was utterly alone. She
could have lamented with Macbeth:
MY way of life
Is fallen into the sere, the yellow leaf.
And that which should accompany old age
AS honor, love, obedience, troops Of friends
must not look to have; but in their stead
Curses. xot loud but deep, mouth honor, breath.
Which the poor heart would fain deny, but daeT
not"
But she had no one to blame but
herself If we desire friends, we must
be friendly. We cannot go through
this world swinging q club and then
expect people to love us.
The other was O spiritual queen
silent as to words, but powerful in
the exaltation of the sentiment of
love. She was as mellow as any rip
ened peach, and beautiful as any au-
tumn leaf. Her passing in and out,
her modest and retiring manner, her
deeds OF sympathy and helpfulness.
were like the perfumes of an alabas.
ter box. And in her notably long ca
reer, spanning with it's wide arc nine
ty-siX years, down to the angel calm
that closed her eyes and made silence
golden, she was always winsome, al.
ways serene, always hopeful. AS In
a calm and beauteous eve in summer,
the sun rolls slowly down the west
ern hill, clothing clouds and mountains
with amethyst and gold, SO, with equal
serenity and glory, this grand old
saint passed below the horizon only
to shine elsewhere immortal and un-
dimmed.
Is it not a blessed thing to reach
the autumn vale Of life spanned by
rainbow and at peace with all the
world? What is death to such lovely
souls but rebirth and infinite expan-
sion, and at eYenitde it shall be light?
May we learn to live as sons and
daughters of the Almighty. Let ev-
cry autumn find us better men and
women. Let us aspire after holi-
ness. AS the colOrings of ripened
leaves and fruit are beautiful, so are
souls, when arrayed in the soft cOlOrs
of spirituality.

then reinforced the various lessons that
had come to them in the last few days,
and presented them with their diplomas,
the visable evidence that the long
course of study had ended successfully
For some time after this the various
members of the class were beseiged by
their friends, who came upon the stage
to shower them with congratulations;
after which they said good bye" in
their hearts, to the dear old school and
took their places with that growing
body of Alumni which has brought so
much honor to our high school,
NOTES.
This has been one of the best and
happiest commandments ever held in
Wausau. From the magnificent ad
dress of Rev. f. l.. Wharton, to the
farewell words of the valedictorian, the
good counsel of the president of the
Board of Education, and the delightful
reception given by the girls of the
Junior class all things have contributed
to make the parting hours pleasant.
There was but one humiliating Incl
dent and that was the assault made by
number of the junior boys upon one
member of the senior class. 1t is hard
to find fitting words to condemn an act
SO utterly out of keeping with the spirit
of good fellowship that usually per-
vades school at graduating time.
All of our present high school teach
ers will return, with the exception of
Mr.. +. W. Schulz, who retires to take
up the study of medicine 1t is serious
defect in our school system that it does
not hold out to young men inducements
equal to these in law, medicine, real
estate, banking, etc.
