Eleanor Cochrane Knight.

Ninety-eight years is a long time to live.
The Psalmist tells us that the strength
which remains to man after seventy years
is but labor and sorrow, soon to end. But
our good friend and venerable towns
woman, whose attractive face is here pre-
sented has seen and absorbed so much
more sunshine than shadow, so much more
happiness than sorrow, that she looks
younger than many women who might be
her daughters.
Oliver Wendall Holmes, in one of his
charming essays, says that the best way
to insure longevity is to arrange to be
born into long-lived family. Now the
Cochranes were hardy stock, and a large
proportion of its members lived beyond
four score, but | am not informed that
any of them attained the age of their
present representative. Very probably
she inherited her vigorous constitution
from her mother-in-law the widow of Dr.
Jonathan Knight of Westmoreland, n. H.,
who reached the remarkable age of one
hundred and two years and six months.
