What the Other Fellows Say.

Most people forget these trifes when they scold about the high cost of living. .-Torrington Register.

Best.

 Mother, see you, with your nursery light, Leading your babies all in white,
 To their sweet rest; Christ, the Good Shepherd, carries mine tonight,
 And that is best. I can not help tears, when see them twine Their fingers in yours, and their bright curls shine,
 On your warm breast; But the SAviour's is purer than yours or mine. f He can love best. You tremble each hour because your arms Are weak; your heart is wrung with alarms;
 And sore oppressed; My darlings are safe, out of reach of harms,
 And that is best. You know, over yours may hang even Pam and disease. whose fulfilling show
 Naught can arrest; Mine in Gods gardens, run to an fro,
 And that is best. You know that of yours, your fondest one And dearest may live long years. alone,
 Unloved, unblest Mine are cherished of saints around Gods throne,
 And that is best. You must dread for yours the crime that sears. Dark guilt, unwashed by repentant tears,
 And unconfessed; Mine entered spotless on eternal years,
 O, how much the best! But grief is selfish; I can not see Always why should so stricken be,
 More than the rest; But I know that, as we'll as for them, for me
 God did the best.

Reliance.

Not to the swift, the race; Not to the strong, the right; Not to the righteous, perfect grace; Not to the wise. the light. But often faltering feet Come surest to the goal; And they who walking darked The sunrise of the soul. A thousand times by night The Syrian hosts have died; A thousand times the vanquished right Hath risen glorified. The truth the wise men sought Was spoken by child; The alabaster box was brought In trembling hands defiled. Not from my torch, the gleam. But from the stars above; Not from my heart life's crystal stream But from the depths of love.

A Creed For the Discouraged,

I believe that God created me to be happy, to enjoy the blessings of life, to be useful to my fellow beings, and an honor to my country. believe that the trials which beset me today are but the fiery test by which my character is strengthened, en- nobled and made worthy to enjoy the higher things of life, which be- lieve are in store for me. l believe that my soul is too grand to be crushed by defeat; I will rise above it,
 believe that I am the architect of my own fate; therefore,
 l will be master of circumstances and surroundings, not their slave. 1 will not yield to discouragements. I will tramp them under foot and make them serve as stepping-stones to suc- cess. will conquer my obstacles and turn them into opportunities. My failures of today will help to guide me on to victory on the morrow. The morrow will bring new strength, new hopes, new opportunities and new beginnings. l will be ready to meet it with brave heart, a calm mind and an undaunted spirit. In all things I will do my best and leave the rest to the Infinite.
 l will not waste my mental energies by useless worry. I will learn to domi- nate my restless thoughts and look on the bright side of things. l will face the world bravely, I will not be coward. I will assert my God given birthright and be a man. For l am immortal, and nothing can overcome me.-V!rginia Opal Myers.

 The New Milford Times, the newcom- or in Litchfield county journalism, brings to it's work the proper spirit of progress iveness. an1 is spurrlng up the good old town of New Milford to renewed activity along civic lines. On the subject of civic progress the editor says:
 People in the West can teach us in the East some things. Out there when some especially desirable project is broached, men and women say first, Let's do it. The question of expense comes mp afterward. and by that time it is met and handled because enthusiasm for the plan has given momentum to the movement. Here we are too prone first to say, oh, that would cost too much.' !. That puts a damper on the whole pro. ject, and it is, indeed. something most urgently needed that has chance to be. come an actuality."
 The Times has splendid constituency to preach Ut kind of doctrine to, and it's efforts to get things, accomplished will meet with cordial support. New Milford's business m 9a ara progressive and public spirited. aud will respond heartily to any call for enlistment in a movement that is calculated to make for the betterment of the community.

BLUFFING.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WAIT.

They'll say you are a buffer
 If you speak the kindly word But let me tell you, people,
 Not enough of these are heard. For hearts just long to hear them,
 And a word of honest praise Was never known to injure
 But has frightened ddrkened days. They say you are a buffer
 If a smile shines through your tears, But just keep on a'smiing
 And twill drive away your fears. And when the clouds hang heavy,
 And so dark you can't sec through, A bluff will lift you over Where the skies are bright and blue The world needs honest blutfing
 When it's done in the right way, It fills the world with gladness
 And makes sunshine every day.
