There are many insects which we may

Letter from Comus.

Mr.. Editor :-Foreigners visiting America
are amazed at the push and bluster OF her
people, and their amazement would be far
greater II they knew how little old age Ia
respected by the rising generation. Per
haps old age has been discounted by all ma
tons throughout the existence Of the world ,
for Father Abraham's boys exposed the
drunkenness of their aged progenitor, and
bad boys In the infantile period OF the
worlds existence evoked the wrath OF that
spotless patriarch, Elisha, by calling him "old
bald head" True, Abraham drank "un.
fermented" wine immoderately, and Jacob
cheated his father-in.law In q stock specu-
lation, but we have good reason to conclude
that they were, generally speaking, far more
respectful TO their papas than American
boys.
We are so fast and progressive that when
q man on account OF age, rheumatism or ap
pendicitis Is unable 10 climb the stairs TWO
steps at time, or to make the windows rat
tie by the rapidity of his movement, he Is
thought to be justly deserving the fate oil
the decreplt Indian--that of being left to
starve by the roadside.
If / were horse should hate awfully to
be In the service Of young American In
bis counting days, particularly II had TO DC
driven on Montgomery roads.
But lack OF respect for the aged Is not
confined to human kind. The horse that
has been faithful servant for quarter oil
century Is converted into fertilizer, and the
aged COW that distilled nectar TO satisfy our
infant palates is butchered to grace the
sumptuous board of the bon ton Of the coun-
try.
But disrespect for the aged goes even
farther than this--even the aged tree falls
before the merciless hands oil fashion and
progress. The tree that has stood as SEN
tinel over some crystal fountain for cen.
fury ls sometimes Frustrated to be converted
into artistic designs under the movements
of the plane and saw.
But oftener the patriarch Of the forest falls
to have Its place filled by some representa-
tive more popular and more pleasing TO the
eye. At my last visit TO Rockville, was
saddened by witnessing the slaughter OF the
noble old trees that have stood guard over
the fortress OF justice for perhaps century
l requested the aged woodman, who was
doing the iconoclastc service, to count the
year rings on a stump, and he reported over
fifty, bat saw that he missed many in his
reckoning.
Well, as those who planted them are gone,
and the old castle that they shaded for many
years has fallen, 1t may be as well that the
noble landmarks should follow In the death
grip Of time; but we must remember that
few now living will behold the places OF the
aged guardmen filled with the same majesty
and beauty by those that shall take their
places.
