Which Are You?

We recently saw one Of our citizens
going home with a small basket of
fruit. A few evenings later we passed
him again and he had a small package
of candy. On both occasions we were
walking with the same gentleman who
remarked to US that the mar with the
candy was a good fellow, but blew in
all he made so fooiish!y. We merely
smiled in reply, but could not help in
our mind, as we walked along, craving
a contrast between the two men. One
was smoking a cigar5th that cost as much
as the candy. Burning into ashes and
blowing out into the air the money the
other spent for nick-Hachs that brought
a smile of happiness to cheeks he cnce
thought SO rosy and glaadeEed eyes
that still sparkled like a thousand dia-
monds with their telEtale love for him;
carrying home n by one, the sweetest
OF life; building evening after
evening an image to a little heart of

into eternity, would destroy.
Nourishing and kindling a new love
would in old age5look back to those
happy home ccmings and bless his
memory as the dearest papa that ever
lived.
