Laughter
BY R0aR SACENDORPH
Editor and Publisher of
The old Farmers Almanac

September Is, l find marked down in my almanac
records as day of judgment. Nature and our
selves are having settling of accounts. In the bal
ancine the length Of day will shortly equal that Of
night.
On next Wednesday evening" the full Harvest
Moon will be seen to rise over the horizon almost
as soon as the sun has set. More important, the
beginning Of fall, next Saturday, resembles, in
Nature mans traditional conceptions Of his own
old age, the harvest, death, and judgment.
One must have care though, on city street or
winding country road, not to be too disturbed by
the solemn weight of thoughts like these.
1t is also good to note that now is the time
when Natures cheeks are fat with laughter. The
trees have doomed gay attire. Roadside stands
bulge with fruits. For the most part days of clear
sunny weather follow one after the other. The man
who takes the gloomy side days like these not
worth the eizzard of tri1e Al the table of the
Author of abundant Mercy, there is more than
enough for all in this feast Of thoughts and things.
In coming to this table is it enough to bring offer
ingS we suppose to be charity and hope and love
and friendship and songs of praise? No, something
more is needed to swing judgments scales in our
favor. In the crazy swirl Of dropping leaves, Of
trout aimeSSIy breaking the calm Of the still fall
pond in animals and birds at play, there seems evil
dence that to this judgment day we must also bring
laughter. The spectacle of man being too serious
about himself or others is a sorry one.
On this great day, them let us remember that ''an
ounce Of mirth is perhaps worth more than ten
thousand weight Of melancholy"
