LONGEvITY IN ARGENTINA.

The recently celebrated centenary
of the Argentine republic has been the
occasion of emphasizing the old age
of some of its citizens. The distin-
guished English physician. Sir James
Cuchton-Browne, declares that every
man is entitled to his century,; but,
down in Argentina even the century
limits is at times considerably ex-
ceeded. The Southern Cross informs
us that there are four sisters in Cor
doba whose ages are respectively, 100,
115, 125 and $50. If all this be true,
the eldest of these venerable women
was thirty-six years of age in 1910,
and was thirty years of age when the
Declaration of Independence was
signed. One OF the centenarians has
great-grandchildren who are al
ready big. The whole story is so Won
derful that it is difficult to believe it;
but it is told seriously in our contem-
porary La Prensa, and the photo
graphs certainly depict old, old age.

THE ROSARY OF MY YEARS.
lRy Father Abram ]. RIap.l

Some reckon their age by years,
Some measure their life by art,
But some of their days by tho few OF
their tears,
And of their life by the means of
their heart.
The dials of earth may show
The length, not the depth of years
Few or many may come, few or many
may go;
But our time is best measured by
tears.
All! not by the silver gray
That creeps through the sunny hair,
And not by the scenes we pass on our
And not by the burrows the finger
of care
In forehead and face have made;
Not so do we count our years;
Not by the sun of the earth-but by
the shade
Oof our souls-and the fall of our
tears.
For the young are ofttimes old,
Though their brow be bright and
fair,
While their blood beats warm, their
hearts lie cold
Ger them the Sprlngtlme-Dut Will
ter is there,
And the old are ofttimes young,
When their hair is thin and white;
And they sing in age as in youth they
sung,
And they laugh, for their cross was
light.
But bead by bead 1 tell
The rosary of my years,
From a cross to a crown they lead
it's WE'LL
And they are blessed with a bless
ing of tears.
Better a day of strife
Than century of sleep;
Give me instead of long stream of
life
The tempest and tears of the deep,
A thousand joys may foam
On the pillows of all the years;
But never the foam brings the brave
bark home
1t reaches the haven through tears

SMILE AND WAIT.

One of the hardest, and yet one of
the most useful lessons we can ever
learn is to smile and wait after we
have done our very best
1t is a finely trained mind that can
struggle with energy and cheerful
ness toward the goal which he cannot
see. But he is not great philoso-
pheT who has not learned the secret
of smiling and waiting. A great many
people can smile at difficulties who
cannot wait, who lack patience; but
the man who can both smile and wait
If he has hat tenacity of purpose
which never turns back, will surely
win. The fact is, large things can
only be done by optimists. Little sue
cesses are left to pessimistis people
who cannot set their teeth, clench
their fists, and smile at hardships or
misfortune and patiently wait
Smile and wait-there are whole
volumes in this sentence. 1t is so
much easier for most people to work
than to wait

DIR. LAMBERT MISSED.

treal. He was lying critically i'll at
Idylease Inn. Newfoundland, \. j.
He had prepared a paper to be read
by him at the congress, but when he
found that he was not likely to be
able to go to the congress at all, he
resigned his paper to the discretion
of the COMMITTEES without another
thought. feeling that he had done mis-
best and must wait on Gods will The
paper is entitled Popular Objections

finished it just before he had to lay
down his pen finally. 1t will have an
added value now and a pathetic in

In its report of Father Vaughan's ad-

this is not far to seek. If Ireland to-
day is the most thoroughly Catholic
land throughout the civilized world
and if Dublin of ali the capitals of

CHILD LOVE.

What a world child can, see
With the faith that lights his eyes!
What companionship can be
In love that never diesi
In the Fall our Mary died,
And, when Winter chilled the
ground,
Lonely We're the winds that cried
Ger the cold and leafless mound
But when Spring made mild the air.
Snowdrifts fled the suns warm
breath,
And again the grave was bare
Ger our sisters leep of death.
Then we sought that mound again,
And, above the greening sward,
Told her patient years of pain
And our faith in her reward
In the mid-mould of the grave
Little seeds we gently pressed
That in Summer hours should wake
Flowers that Mary loved the best.
Then we sealed our work that day
With the breathings of our prayer,
And we took silent way
Homeward through the lonely air.
Little Joe stayed by the mound,
Speaking-and in accents bright
Came his voice across the ground,
Saying, Mary, dear, good night"
Little Joe. our five-year boy,
To our hearts wisdom gave;
For his words, so full of joy,
Taught how love lies Ger the
grave.
Oh. the world child can see
With the faith that lights his eyes,
What ompanionship can be
In love that never dies
