A Pathetic Case.

Mrs. Allen Spooner, who went to FL
more last Thursday after her husbands
ten-year-old daughter, Nora, by former
marriage, brought the child back to East
Bethel, where Mr.. Spooner is working for
George Nichols and has found house for
his family.
The little girl, deaf mute, had been
attending the institute for the deaf and
dumb at Hartford, Conn.,, and, instead OF
meeting her father in Randolph as be ex.
pected, when she left school, she was
sent by the school authorities to his form
er place Of residence, Morrisville. The
News and Citizen OF Morrisyille gives the
following account Of her arrival in that
town
"a particularly sad and peculiar Incl
dent occurred at the Morrisville station
last Friday night, June 25) when little
I Nora Spooner, aged ten years, a deaf
mute, alighted from the six O'Clock train,
with apparently no one to meet her and
no place to &C. The child was soon no
ticed by several bystanders, who at once
interested themselves in her case. The
only clue furnished was a tag on her
grip, which gave her name and Norris
willie, VT, via st. Johnsbury, and the fact
that she came from Hartford, Conn. She
had evidently been riding long distance
and was hungry, hut seemed unable to
make herself understood as her only reply
to written questions was to copy the
same words in fairly Iegible hand.
Through Es s. Robinson, K. F. d. car
rier on Route No. 1, it was learned that
Allen Spooner resided in the south part OF
the town on the Mountain road, having re-
Gently married Miss Maud Ashley in that
neighborhoed, and this was the first clue

where she spent the night, her baggage al

found from an aunt, Gertrude Spooner OF
Bethel, to the deaf and dumb institute Of
Hartford. Conn.

that Spooner was the girls father, and hs
was notified of her whereabouts by tele
phone.

that the little girl apparently understood

When 1 have time, so many things I'll
do
To make life happier and more fair
For those whose lives are crowded
with care:
I'll help to lift them from their de-
spair-
When 1 have time.
When I have time. the friend 1 love so
Shall know no more these weary toll
ing days;
I'll lead her feet in pleasant paths al
ways,
And cheer her heart with sweetest
words of praise
When l have time.
When you have time, the friend you
loved so dear
May be beyond the reach of all your
sweet intent;
May never know that you so kindly
meant
To fill her life with sweet content
When you had time
Now is the time. All, friend, no longer
wait
To scatter loving smiles and words of
cheer
To those around whose lives are now
so dreaT
They may not need you in the coming
year
Now is the time.

Life Eternal.

DO you realize that life is solemn
trust? Do we not think of it as a
time for qualification and self
enrichment? 1t is so natural for youth
to look upon the days and weeks
which they are now enjoying merely
as an opportunity to have a good
time. Youth comes but once. they
say. and therefore they feel them
selves justified in using it in seeking
pleasures, saying that this period of
enjoyment will never come again. for
getful of the fact that youth Is essen
TALLY period of preparation. and if
they fail to improve it for that pu~-
pose they must go through life handi-
capped and dwarfed
Life is a period in which to prepare
for the endless life that shall be here
after. Lay hold on eternal life"
should be the first business of
every life. What will men not do to
regain liberty If it is lost? | have
read Of a prisoner in an Austrian
prison who, with a rusty nail as his
only implement, with his bleeding
hands, dug an opening in the wall
through which he was able to escape,
letting himself down to the ground by
rope which he constructed out of a
the moat and made good his escape,
though all the while exposed to death
through gun shots from the guard.
But 1t was liberty he was seeking for.
and liberty was dearer to him than
life itself. Oh, that men would real
lie that eternal life is a great prize.

and effort! Pardon of sin, restoration
to Gods favor. deathless existence in
His presence. an overfiowing cup with
no bitter admixture, unlimited derel-
opment and growth Godward! 1t Is
worth while to spend all the years of
the present life making sure of, and
making ready for, the life that is to
come.
Life is the opportunity to bear wit

the way of life eternal. Next to Che

Mother Marv,s Desire.

Our Blessed Lady hungered for the
earthly vision of her Childs face with
a mothers love and a mothers fondly
passionate longing All mothers, our
Lord tells US, naturally desire that
moment of joy, when, forgetful of the
pains of labor, they only remember
that their child is born into the world.
Like all earthly mothers. Mary will
look forward eagerly to her Sons
birth How deep will be her gratitude
and love as she thinks of that Son
and the privilege. soon 10 be hers,
of looking into His face! For nine
months she has lived life of closest
intimacy with Him; a life of warmer
love than centuries of acts piled noun
tains high. from hottest and most ex-
allied Cherubim and Seraphim She
bore Him with hurrying steps into the
hill country and from her womb He
sanctiffed the Baptist; now she was
Fastening again over the same road
and would soon gaze upon the human
countenance of her Child What an
excess of joy is the thought To look
upon the face In whose light the
angels knelt and covered their faces
in holy fear; to behold the face which
was to light UP the darkness Of Beth
lehem'S cave: which was perhaps to
illumine the camel-trodden road by
night in the desert She was to ga re
upon the face down which would come
the tears shed over the sinful Jerusa-
lem and at the tomb of Lazarus; the
face so often raised to the Father in
prayer or bowed to rest with Low ng
pity on Magdalene and Peter and TO
attract the tin1id children by the lake.

LITTLE BY LITTLE.

Little by little the time goes by
Short, if you sing through it, long il
you sigh;
Little by little-an hour a day.
Gone with the years that have van
ished away,
Little by little the race is run,
Trouble and waiting and toll are
done.
Little by little the skies grow clear.
Little by little the sun comes near;
Little by little the day smiles out;
Gladder and brighter on pain and
doubt;
Little by little the seed we sow
Into a beautiful field will grow.
Little by little the world grows strong,
Fighting the battle Of right and
wrong;
Little by little the wrong gives way
Little by little the right has sway;
Little by little all longing souls
Struggle up nearer the shining goals.
Little by little the good in man
Blossoms TO beauty, for human ken;
Little by little the angels see
Prophecies better of good to be,
Little by little the God of all
Lifts the world nearer the pleading
call.

Hidden Sweetness.

The world sees devout people pray
often, suffer injuries, serve the sick,
give to the poor watch, moderate their
hunger. restrain their passions, deprive
themselves of sensual pleasures. and
perform such other acts as are in them
selves severe and rigorous; but the
world does not see the inward cordial
devotion which renders all these ac-
tons agreeable, pleasant and easy.
Consider the bees upon the thyme; they
find there very bitter juice. yet in
sucking it they turn it into honey. Oh.
Worldlings! ii is true devout souls find
much bitterness in these exercises of
modification, but in performing them
they convert them into sweetness and
delight.-St. Francis de Sales

HABIT THAT MEANS HAPPINESS.
Kindly Attitude of Mind is Above All
THINGS Worldly.

habit of holding kindly attitude
of mind toward everybody has a pow
erful influence upon the character. 1t
lifts the mind above petty jealousies
and meannesses; it eneircles and en-
lar8es the whole life, Where we meet
people. no matter if they are strangers,
we feel certain kinship with and
friendliness for them. if we have ac-
quired the goodwill habit
In other words, the kindly habit. the
good will habit, makes us feel more
sympathy for everybody. And if we
radiate this helpful, friendly feeling
others will reflect il back 10 US
On the other hand if we go through
life with a cold. selfish mental atti-
tude. caring only for our own, always
looking for the main chance. only
thinking Of what will further our own
interests, our own comfort, totally in
different to others. this attitude will
after a While harden the feelings and
the affections, and we shall become
dry, pessimistic and undressing

THE SPELL.

Gray wind swept dunes and waste of
shifting sand
with matted clumps Of sedge along the
shore,
A hshing boat turned edwise to the gale
With close coiled nets and labor spin
tered oar;
The fierce winds buffet, pitiIess and
chill,
To wake the stunted pins rude min
strelsy:
And stretching far as weary eye can
reach
The storm-racked fury of the winter
sea-
Yet even here, close couched amid the
stress.
It's tiny windows dashed with land-swept
foam.
A fishers shelter stands and mutely
tells
The great Transforming mystery of love
and home.

LIFE is TOO SHORT.

Life is too short for any vain regret
ting.
Let dead delight bury its dead, I say,
And let US go upon our way forgetting
The joys and sorrows of each yester-
day.
Between the swift suns rising and its
setting
We have no time for useless tears or
fretting.
Life is too short.
Life is too short for any bitter feeling
Time is the best avenger, if we wait.
The years speed by, and on their wings
bear healing
We have no room for anything like
hate.
This solemn truth the low mounds seem
revealing
That thick and fast about our feet are
stealing.
Life is too short.
Life is too short for aught but high
Too short for spite, but long enough
for love-
And love lives on forever and forever.
1t links the worlds that circle on
above;
'Tis Gods first law. the universe's
lever.
In His vast realm the radiant souls
sigh never.
Life is too short.

The TWO SIDES oE 1T.

There was a girl who always said
Her fate was very hard:
From the one thing she wanted most
She always was debarred.
There always was a cloudy spot
Somewhere within her sky;
Nothing was ever quite just right.
She used to say and sigh.
And yet her sister, strange to say,
Whose lot was quite the same.
Found something pleasant for herself
In every day that came.
OF course. things tangled up sometimes
For just a little while:
But nothing ever stayed all wrong,
She used to say, and smile.
So one girl sighed and one girl smiled
Through all their lives together:
1t didn't come from luck or fate,
From clear or cloudy weather.
The reason lay within their hearts,
And colored all outside.
One choose to hope and one to NOPE.
And so they smiled and sighed
Exchange.

Charm of Sincerity.

Few attributes add so much to ones
personal power as the knowledge that
one is absolutely genuine and sincere
Ii your life is a perpetual lie, if you
know that you are not what you pre-
tend to be, you cannot be strong. There
is a continuous struggle with the truth
going on inside you which saps your
energy and warps character.
If there is a mote in your eye, re-
move 1t at once. Otherwise you can
not look the world straight in the face
Further. there will be a cloudiness, a
maze, about your character which will
be noticeable to those about you
Strength lies in character. Deceit
is weakness; sham and pretense are en-
teebling. Only the genuine and the
sincere are worth while.

THE THOUGHT.

Why, once the very thought of him was
vital
AS is some crimson rose.
Flaming, defiant, in a quiet garden
Among pale lily blows.
And yet today the thought of him is
only
A rose closed in a book
A lifeless thing ls-lg shut between dull
pages
Where she forgets to look.
And yet 1 think an old love thought
forgotten.
Somewhere not wholly dies.
It may be of such roses angels weave US
The wreaths Of paradise.
