Sinking, slowly sinking, like some we11 ry traveler, whose life and v igor a long stru ggle with sufferin g bvs overcome, "83"-its work d one, its conq uests made, its harvests gathered, its hopes blighted, its anticipations realized, " 83" is dyi ng to-ni g ht-dying slow hut sure. Yet not slow; for the hands of t he clock must t ell six ty ami a half to mark the midn ight hou r and "-ithin that ti me the f •te ofthousan ds may be Jo retolcl .

be will furn ish the or iginals etolen by each departing year nnd the morning of the judgment day will show "·hat artists men have been and what prize& they deserve fo r the beauty or d eformity of their creations. As God has dealt in t he past, so will He, if the year be given, de::tl in the future. Men are t he b uilcten of their own fo rtunes. To construct these so t~at they ru'l.y re:tch up to and dese rv e ablessing fromtl!e Heavens and yet bwe fo undat.ions sufficiently b road , not only lor self but for some poore r ne ighbor, depends upon experience, upon forethouo-ht :mel on wisdom oft timee purch · 1~ e d at a hig h price in a very du ll market. Plans, it m1.y be ob>erverl, are servi ceable guides , not only in the process of material construction but likewise in the course of hnman life. P lana however are not, nor, should they n!IYays be consid ered , infallible. F ollowing them too uli nclly sometimes results in folly and not infrequently in serious d isaster. A mar gin is a good thing, not on ly " On change" but also in household and social afi'airs. A margin for t he im provement of the things of life, with tl!at keen sense of nppreciation for a fellow being, bC'gotten of a higher mo tive than that of, "how rn uch is he "·orth and how mnchcan be made out ofhim," opens a better and broader horizon for nature's nobleown-to say nothing of the christian-than that afforded hy the st orm tossed lowering clouds of selfishness and d ece it. To be a helper ana a worker in the great battle of life, to do one's whole duty well, how bumble soeTer i t may be, is better than to be a Vanderbilt or a Stewart. To bui ld our hou e or ou r heart so large that tber11 will be always a guest chamber with "welcome" over the door for some one more dependent, poorer, more infirm, we:tker than oursel\-es, is better than to dwell ina bro wn •tone front, or, a marble palace into whose luxurious np'lrtm ents d eath will one day stalk finding things perh a p~ not half so comfortrrble as i~ the unanxious beggar' s i ca l•i n whi ch he r oubed but yesterday of a willing to-go and well prcp~ recl tenant.
