NAGABONDS or TIDE. AND FIELD.
Adirondack Murray on the \Vnoiesome
Delights of Outdoor Lire.
What a splendid freemasonry this is
of outdoor life! How gentle and gen-
erous its rivalries! Which head shall
dive deepest in the cool.-.depths.or
speck the white surf furthest from
shore? Which rod shall lift. the
heaviest trout or gun show to its
credit the fullest bag of game? Whose
deck shall shine the cleanest,.or whose '
white sails shall lead the fleet to even-
ing’s anchorage? Whose table of bark
shall boast of the tenderest venison or
lodge front display for ornament the
noblest spread of antlers? Whose rifle
is truest to the camp when food is
scarce, or is silent longest when game
is plenty and the larder over full?
These are the generous and healthy
rivalries of the outdoor life which
stimulate, but never fret, and leave
both victor and vanquished healthy
and happy still. Compare with these
the scramble for wealth; the rivalries
for gain; the suicidal despair of some;
the vain and boastful bearing of
others; the bitterness and ruin of
those who lose; the arrogance of those
who win; the sneering envyings and
rankling jealousies, ripening to hatred
as the years grow on, which character-
ize the lives men live in store, oflice,
and street and note the contrast.
Who of us frank-spoken and kind-
hearted vagabonds of tide and field,
of deck and camp, are envious of any?
Each man we meet is comrade, fellow~
picnlcker, brother-man, partner of
ours in the sweet profits of our
healthy, happy, natural life. Mild-
mannered and light-hearted wander.
ers; boys with smooth or wrinkled
faces, gray-headed some of us, but
boys still, thank God; canoists, camp-
pers, yachtsmen, our fires are lighted
on a thousand shores, and our even-
ing song floats over a. thousand lakes
and island-studded rivers. We are a.
family of nature’s saints. Our spirits
have been touched and softened by
the sweet grace of nature. We have
been indoctrinated in the truths that
shine out of stars and which the blue
heavens declare at noon and night.
The leaves of the catechism we have
studied have been the flowery mea-
dows, the voiceful slopes of moun‘
tains, the shining beaches, the whis-
pering leaves of trees, the thunder-
shaken firmament, or the star-lighted
depth of level waters. From these
un-Calvinislic text-books we have
learned sweet lessons of God, whose
gentleness we. saw in the very leaves
we studied. Our souls have drank
the waters of life, fresh from native
fountains, and our spirits have bathed
their scars in rivers which flow from
Him whose voice is as the sound of
many waters.
All hail! Ye healthy-blomled,
heulthy»mindcd, kii‘ullv-lioni‘ted. gen-
tle-mannered saints I-f flood and ilclfl,
of hill and river, of car and soil, of
deck and camp; your smiling faces

voim—><, in happy talk. in joke and
song, come from Mar and stir the si-
lence around me into laughter. Joke,

bonds and {:wntle loafersflnto each
hour you are storing the honey of
health, on which in future days of
toil and strain your strength shall
feed and fill itself. with vigor. I hail
you, fellow saints, in this lower heaven
of God, where each happy one is his
own priest, each pure mind his own
- creed, and the gentle wishes of each
heart its only “sum and substance ”
of doctrine—Forest and Stream.
The Connecticut Indemnity Associa-

on himself to see that the brethren of

Thompson” proposed, and so the race
would have to be declared off.
Selectman Raymond and Alms House-
keeper Hoyt took Henry J. Titus and
Mrs. Amelia Beers to the Middletown
asylum, Monday. It was expected that
Titus would make trouble for his at-
tendants in getting him to the institu-
tion, but such was not the case, for he
was as docile as a lamb, supposing that
he was gomg to Middletown for a “day
off.” The Selectman brought back
George London, of Winnipauk, who is
%ractically cured, and Mrs. Margaret
uba, who has been an inmate of the
asylum for the past twelve years. Mrs.
Buba was brought back, so as to make
room for Mrs. Beers. She Will now be-
come an inmate of the Alms House.
