Mrs. T. B. Barber Writes of Scot land Road Social Club and the Good it AccompIishes-Coit Elm a Source of Interest. an

Mrs. F. W. Barber of Plain Hill has in Saturdays New England Home stead the following concerning Scot land road hall: ''The people in a lit tie farming community in Connecticut, in the year 1908. decided that they needed social center in spite of the fact that they needed a social center in spite of the fact that they were within two miles from three villages, each having social and religious op- portunities.
 The society called The Scotland Road Social club has membership Of less than forty. Religious services are held every Sunday. Often there is sermon by one of the ministers of the various churches in the sur rounding villages. The Sunday school is in 8 very good condition and con- sidering the fact that number of che children attend services in the vil- !!ages also, this is rather surpris- ing.
 The social club holds dances and gives suppers during the winter. The good old square dances are enjoyed by young and old. This winter a, ser ies of dancing lessons was conducted in the hall and a professional was hired to give instruction in reels and quadrilles of the olden time Music Is furnished by members off the club
 Why should not the people of other farming districts follow this example and be united in social, religious and neighborly work? Every denomination and nearly every nationality is joined here in this working out of the idea of the brotherhood of man."
 The article was illustrated by a. pie ture of the hall. There was also a description of the construction and cost of the building, of the organiza- tion of the Sunday school and other details

NATURE.

As d fond mother, when the day Is OCT, Leads by the hand her little child to
 bed, Half willing, half reluctant to be led, And leave his broken playthings on
 the floor, Still gazing at them through the open
 door, Nor wholly treasured and eomforted By promises of others in their stead, Which, though more splendid, may not
 please him more; So nature deals with us, and takes
 away Cur 'playthings one by one, and by tho
 hand Leads us to rest so gently, that we go Scarce knowing if we wish to go or
 stay, Being too full of sleep to understand How far the unknown transcends the
 why we know.
