But "men aro but children cf a larger growth," though of not increased wisdom. They hi bor and tori up tho hill of wealth, fully intending to enjoy a ride down its glassy Hlope in their old age, and as they occasionly stumble or slip back a few steps tno bright pros pect urges them on. On they go, but instead of being satisfied like tho boy to stop at a reasonable height and enjoy what they have toiled for, they look at tho hill still rising above them and determine, to reach another lodge, their sleds the moauwhilo getting heavier and heav ier. That ledgo reached, auother ono abovo them looks more com mending lor a start, and on and on they go until diseaso or old age strikes them down in their tracks and Homo ungrateful or thankless wretch gets the ride that cost a life of toil and that he is not capable of appreciating. Feukuauv. We have entered tho sijrond month of tho year February wfitch was given its namo from the Latin word lbruare, to expatiato or purify. Tho month ordinarily has 28 days, but this year, being leap year, an intercalary day is add ed, giving February 2'J days, and tho yoar 300, insteud of 3G5. In all loan years tho ladies step to the front and assume the aggressive At least so custom gives them priv ilecro to do if thoy bo possossed of sufficient courago. Tho month briugs us Valentino's day and the anniversary of tho birthday of "The Father of His Country," our belov ed Washington. It begins and ends on Monday, and ha tivo Mondays to please housewives, probably be cause it is their favorite wash day The Saxons called it sprout month, for in their enmuto tno buds camo out. That's all dona away with, however, bo far as we aro concern ed. There aro glimpses of Spring in February, and tho crocus is sometimes tempted to show its ver dant spears abovo tho ground, but gloom and chill and snow predomi nate, and it isn't tho jolliest mouth of tho twelve by a long score Wo will hold ourselves in readi ness to print spring election tickets within an hour from the time we ro ceivotho ordor and forward them by first mail Snyder Co's Russian Fund.
