Down in a deep‘ green valley that h
fringed with elmh and gnarled apple tree-
nnd is fragrant with its wealth of wild flow-
ers peeping forth from under a grove of old
poplars at the foot of a steep rocky hill.
over which the highway above North Brun-
ford writhcs like an uneasy serpent, in the
home of Damask Rose. It was the home of
her father and of her father‘s father, and it
has weathered the scorching blasts and icy
winds of one hundred and forty tough New
England years. Damask does not live in it
now. but in Mime trim white cot which
looks askance at tho passer from behind a
wing , of the old Rose residence. Her
father‘s family was once the largest and
most social in the roundabout country, and
the Bosc mansion was then much resorted
to by the young belles and bcaux. And
now all are gone. All are dead save

wrinkled and not far from 70 years. a pair
of bright cycs glcamcd through her gold
brows. from under the dirty brown felt rim
of the man‘s hat upon her head. In one
hand she carried a bright case knife. while
with the othcr she raised her calico skirt as
shc movcd thnmgh the nodding clover with
which the old front yard was filled. A pair
of diamonds glittcrcd in her care and a
thick. grayish growth of silken hair partial-
ly dbscurcd her upper lip and chin. Thcrc
was a black cat, with bronzc sides. at her
heels. a Maltese cat. with a white brcast.

The young lady who in awuvcr to the

The man or woman of the world. the well-
trained cmmopolitc, realizes that whatever
is undertaken must be done well even at
the cxpensc of absolute and undivided at-
tention; and he or she does not hesitate to
things which sec-1a the most trifling. If it be
a simple hand-shake. a passing comment
upon thc woulhcr, an inquiry for friends. it
is done well because it is thoroughly done.
There is no slightiug or shirking; and this
Is. after all. more than half the secret of
good brooding. He who has kindly. gene

dates voted for lust Tuesday in this
oi and vicinity no my youngvmon of
chi ity and good character. bother
they were successful or unsuccessful,
Democrats or Republicans. they did well
to run for office. They brought fresh
blood and youthful enthusiasm into pol~
itico, and both are always needed.
It is a good sign too, for nyoung man
to have decided political convictions and
reasonable political nrnbit'on. If he
cares nothing for politics, hoisupcor‘
stick. If he re unable to make up his
mind as to what his political belief is. or
as to which of the. two parties he prefers
he is apt: to be a man otherwise lacking
in force and decision of character. A
young man who boats that he is with-
out partisanship. that he is neutral in
politics, makes a very diecreditable con.-
eeeion. Ho either has no active interest
in one of the highest and most stimulat-
ing subjects which can engage the mind
and heart of a citizen. or he is deficient
in the qualities which go to the making
of a trustworthy man. and which are
uisite to a strong individuality.
t is encouraging, therefore. to find
that many young men who once thought
it unnecessary or unbecoming to take an
active part in politics. are now wakin
up to a lively interest in elections and
their issues. and displaying an eager de-
sire to themselves enter upon a political
career. They have discovered a better
outlet for their energies than the more
pursuit of measure. ‘If their cuniury
circumstances are such that it in possible
for to be men of leisure, they have found
honorable and engrossing occupation for
the time they might otherwise have let
gnto waste. At any rate. their activi~
the are larger. and such as to broaden
their minds and extend the range of their
sympathies. They now feel no if they
really amounted to something. and the
potty occupations and small ambitions
of more club room loafers and drawing-
room ornaments seem utterly contempt;
iblc to them.
Young men of good parts have in the
past becn kc t out of politics by silly
newspaper on society dieparagcment of
politicians. who have been treated as an
inherently disreputable class. The term
politician has bccn used as a term of rc-
proach. as if a man so employed was cn~
paged in a. low business. unbecoming a
gentleman. A scntlmcnt hostile to a
sort of activity which should be the
hiszhcst has thus been created.
Ila \pily. many sensible young mcu.
and I rose of the most aggressive force
and abiltt y. are now taking more corrcct
views of thc subject. though the damage
done by such disorcditablc attempts to
tuako politicians opprobrious is not by
any means exhausted. Those young
mcn are running for office. or pushing
other candidates. are taking part in can-
cuscs. primaries. and convcmions. are
talking and studying politics. and arc
making tbctnsclvcs acquainted with the
pcuplt‘.
