 And now that we have thought and spoken so much of long life--of the heightened period of ninety years-let us remember that life in its longest term, is but a moment compared with eternity, and to this life of eternity we are all hastening. There is not the probability that our descend ants will salute any of us at the age of four score and ten. We shall doubt Jess, most of us, be in eternity before we reach three score and ten.

"Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honors the face of the old man.
 Such is the injunction of Holy Script ure concerning the reverence due to old age. And so obvious is this duty, that even the laws of the heather na- tions of antiquity enjoined respect for the aged. Herodotus relates that the Egyptians required the younger to give place to the elder, when they met in the way; and to rise from their seats at the approach of the aged. Lycur- gus and Plato speak of similar defer ence paid to the aged by the Greeks. On the other hand, savage nations treat old persons with great barbarity, often casting them out.to perish with hun ger, or to be devoured by wild beasts, when they are no longer able to take care of themselves. Children forsake their parents, and leave them to die in this way. But christianity rises, not only above savage nations, but also above heather forms of civiliza- tion, in her tender care of the aged !: She embraces them with the arms of her benevolence; takes them to her heart; soothes their sorrows; cheers their loneliness, and sheds heavenly radiance on their declining days.
 Very old persons have generally out lived their generation; they have seen those with whom they were associat- ed in the morning, and in the noon-day of life, depart one after another, until all are gone, and they are left standing among the graves of a whole genera tion, like the solitary oak, around which lies prostrate and decayed for est. No wonder therefore, that very aged persons have sense of loneli- ness, which causes them to look back to those who are coming after them, for society and sympathy. The infrmi- ities of advanced life make them also very dependent upon the assist ance and kindness of younger persons.
 Very much can be done to ease the heavy burdens of age, and cheer the dreary days of declining life, by the tender assiduities and watchful sympa- thy of kind and affectionate hearts. Human life presents few more beauti- ful pictures than the innocence of childhood, the vivacity of youth, and the strength of manhood, all minister ing to the comfort of declining age, = the old grandfather and grandmother living among their descendants, re- spected, beloved, and watched over; their every want anticipated; the chair placed for them when they sit down, and the staff brought for them when they walk abroad; the playful child

MEMORIAL TO UR FORD.

ViS1Nl iH blN I SAsASs
 Architect E. K. Rossiter of New York and Washington offered the fol- lowing memorial at the meeting of the Litchfeld County University club on June l, which was adopted:
 Dr William J. Ford, an honored member of the Litchfield County Uni. versity club, passed away, March 26, 1908, in his 18th year. He was born in Washington, Conn.,, and lived here with few interruptions until the tune of his death. Notwithstanding thls fact, so wide were his horizons, so proficient his learning and so open his intercourse that he never invited the criticism of being in the least degree provincial. He had the rare good fortune of receiving his early education during his formative years under the direct influence of the founder of the Gunnery school. From Mir Gum he gained his first lessons in good citizen ship, and his life was rendered valu- able according to thehigh standards es- tablished by this public preceptor. Graduating from the Bellevue Medical college, with which institution he kept in touch through later years, he re- turned to his native town, and by reas- on of an increasing desire to become helpful, filled unique position in the community. Thus to those who knew him the personal output of each year seemed to out-rival the richness of the preceding. cannot revert to hlm without recalling comment made by Walter Pater of Charles Lamb: "He felt the genius of places and sometimes

think he resembled the place he knew

l think he resembled the place he knew and liked best, and where his lot fell. |" More generally, perheps, than any oth- CT he rehectled the wholesome, frank,
 and neighborly spirit of the village. He was the counsellor of friends and the friend of counsellors. When it was given to Senator Orville H. Platt to se- lect physician to accompany the con- mittee to look into Cuban affairs it was Dr Ford who was chosen. When the town sought representation in the legislature by choice of one endeared by public acts it was his fitness that made him their candidate. Here in the legislative halls he soon proved
 extremely helpful in committee work and became especially active in aiding in all matters entrusted to the reform atory commission. A long acquaint- ance with local public affairs trained his observation and enlarged his com mon sense and judgment, to the end
 that he was at once recognized as a capable and trusted member of the assembly. But, after all is said of one who has made an honorable public rec ord, it is more by his generous toler- ance of human weakness-a reformer's best equipment for effective work-and his thousand and one personal acts of klndness-by himself forgotten but by others remembered-that his life will be best measured. In view, then, of the universal esteem in which his memory is held in various centers of this state, let 1t be resolved that this club has lost a member whose genial and he ,ful presence will be greatly missed, and that a copy of this res olution be spread on the minutes of the association and sent to his family.

COPPER SALEs;
 BIG FIGURES
UNITED METALS SELLING co. DIS POSES OF 6o,ooo,ooo POUNDS IN TEN DAYS AT 1874 AND l3.s CENTS.

There have been some extraordinary sales of copper during tho past week or ten days and the aggregate will total at least s0,0O0,000 pounds, says tho Bos ton News Bureau.
 The United Metals Selling Co.,, during the past eight days, has alone disposed of 60,000,O00 pounds of copper, selling 27,000,000 pounds in one day. This copper was sold at prices ranging be- tween 1850 and 1880 cents and was very largely of the electrolytic brand. Some of this copper has been sold for delivery as far ahead as next March, although none of the large producers care to sell in quantity beyond the first of the year or, for that matter beyond December l.
 The United Metals Selling Co. has no spot copper on hand today and for that matter has very little if any 30. day copper to offer at prices now quot. ed.
 Orders which have been placed in the the past week did not come from a few large consumers, but from a worry large number of manufacturers, large and small.
 Charles F. Brooker has bought quite heavily and when he entered the mark. ct few days ago his action quickly became known and spread like wildfre among the smaller consumers. These consumers argued that, if prominent member of the republican national com. mittee and the largest individual buyer of copper in this country, had con cluded that it was time to buy copper that was good enough for them and the result was that the orders poured in by wire and telephone in a manner which has not been witnessed for many months.
 Calumet & Hecla and Phelps, Dodge & Co have made sales in considerable quantity, so that, with the amount sold by other selling interests, including the companies which sell direct, it is quite within reason to estimate the total sales during the past ten days at between 75,Oo0,Oo and 100, 1000, 900 pounds.
