The Best Life.

The surprise of life always comes
In finding how we have missed the
things which have lain nearest us
how we have gone far away to seek
that which was close by our side all
the time. Men who live best and
longest are apt to come, as the re.
suit OF their living, to the conviction
that life Is not only richer, but sim
pier, than 1t seemed to them at first.
Men go to vast labor, seeking after
peace and happiness. 1t seems to
them as though 1t were far away from
them - as though they must go
through vast and strange regions to
get 1t. They must pile up wealth,
they must see every possible danger
or mishap guarded against before they
can have peace. Upon how many old
men has 1t come with a strange sur
prise that peace could come to rich
or poor only with contentment, and
that they might as well have been con-
tent at the very beginning as at the
very end Of life. They have made a
long journey for their treasure; and
when at last they stop to pick 1t up,
10! 1t is shining close beside the foot
print which they left when they set
out to travel In circle!-Phillips

Being a Cull.

"Not long since, while visiting
beautiful orange grove" wrote a IA
ther to his daughter. Il noticed little
heaps Of oranges here and there about
the packing house. Making inquiry
about them, was told that these were
'culls,' such as are not packed for
market. When ! examined them l
found only slight imperfections on the
skin of the fruit, which did not affect
Its quality. Then thought about the
little faults that we sometimes almost
cherish-mere nothings, as we see
them, In comparison with the whole
sum of our virtues. They make us
imperfect, cause us In some way to be
thrown out Of the best places, left be-
hind while others are sent on ahead"
Seeing our own faults as the cause
of many of our disappointments. as
the occasion Of our being obliged to
take second place instead of first, is to
see them In their right character.

MEMORIAL FOR JOHN FITCH.

The case of John Fitch is sad one.
He was the pioneer and was success.

river for months, but he was received
with derision There was then no
man in this city-probably not in the
whole country-with the prophetic Wis
ion of Chancellor Livingston at a later
day who possessed the wealth and In.
fluence to impress the fact Of Fitch's
success on the public. the Philadelphia
Inquirer says. 1t argues Ill for the
state of enlightenment at that time
that there was no one who could fore
see the possibilities of steam naviga-
tion. If some Philadel2hian had arisen
at that moment to do what Livingston
did subsequently in New York, much
of our history might have been chang
ed. We should have had steamboats,
on the western waters nearly twenty
years earlier than we did, the events
Of the War of 1872 might have been
more decided, and Napoleon might
have had his steamers to cross the
channel from Boulogne.
1t is idle to speculate on what
might have been. but 1t is certain that
this city owes something to the mem.
ory of Fitch, the prophet whom 1t re-
jected. The least that can be done Is
to rear monument to his memory
and to place headstone over his
grave. In the library OF the Historical
Society to-day reposes the combined
diary and autobiography Of this man.
1t is one of the most pathetic Of hu-
man documents. 1t shows the mighty
soul Of man struggling against the
stupidity and conservatism of his age.
We think the Historical Society should
take the initiative In the matter, and
we believe that reasonable sum can
be secured for a suitable memorial to
man who was born out Of due sea-

] wish the coming generation OF
women would try amid their more
spectacular reform to abolish the term
"old maid" Impossible, you say. Not
at all. How do 1t? Simply by ceasing
to say old maid when you mean "un-
married woman" and by teaching chill
dren to do the same.
don't believe believe there Is Is d phrase X;
the language that has caused as much
heartache and shame as those two
words, says writer In the Albany
Times Union. Show me an unmarried
woman between 80 and 40 who
wouldn't rather be called a scold, or
an egotist, or almost anything rather
than an old maid. You can't. One
hears a good deal about women mar
rying for home. | don't believe half
so many women marry for home as
marry to keep from being called old
maids. And / don't wonder, for the
idea "old maid" no longer simply
means an unmarried woman. In Its
travels down the centuries 1t has pick
ed up such unpleasant suggestions Of
angularity and unloveliness that the
most Independent woman might shrink
from such designation.
There are plenty of women who by
their disagreeble characteristics do de-
serve such term Of reproach as old
maid has grown to be, but they are
not all on one side Of the altar by
any means. know several married
old maids, and know several unmar-
ried women who radiate that love and
womanliness which are apt to asso-
ciate with the married state. 1t is the
insinuation that one has never been
loved that makes the term old rhaid
most cruel.
