' sissii^ii [And Ihe morn v'm dVrafcW stn^c^ [What moistens the ihc eye? Em getting te rW w mTT A ITiri THERE is a beautiful legend of a golden organ in an ancient monastery. Once the monastery was besieged by robbers who desired to carry off its treasures. > The monks took the organ to a river which flowed close by aijd sank it in t&e deep water in order to keep it fpom the hands of the robbers. And the legend is that, though buried thus to the river, the organ still continued to give forth sweet and enchanting music, which was heard by those who came near. Every Christian life should be like > th(s golden organ. Nothing shouk ever silence its music, liven when the Hoods of sorrow flow over it il should still continue to rejoice and sing. One of the secrets of such a life i! found in the cultivation of the habi of thankfulness. Nothing less thai ^ this will do. Most people have brie hours in which their hearts are filler with grateful feelings, and when al the world seems beautiful to them But these sunny times soon pass, am "then for days they give themselves " over to discontent and complaining Anybody can sing when walking anw , the flowers and in sunny ways; tin test of life comes when the gardei path becomes a i>it of a desert road We are not fully ready for living un til we have strength enough to carr: us through the hardest places and th< deepest glooms.

[E HABIT OF 3GIVING. 1 that these changes in our circum- ( stances and experiences shall not af- , feet us in our inner life. That is what Saint Paul meant when he said J that he had learned in whatsoever state he was therein to be content. It was no easier for him to have to suffer and endure want and privation I than it is for us. There was no luxj ury to him in being cast into a dun[ geon and having his feet made fast I i In the stocks. But he had learned not ! to fret when his condition was un- ' pleasant. Wherever we find him he ' is singing, never despairing. The ] 11 habit of thanksgiving had been so | i j wrought into his life that nothing! : I could ever break it. I I Just how to learn this habit or thanksgiving is the question. One s thing is to learn to trust. The cause t of all complaining and discontent is i want of trust in Gcrd. If we believe [ in God as our Father, that He loves 1 us and will care for us, and put at 1 once into His hands all matters that . would disturb or fret us, God -Hira1 self will keep us in perfect peace. * Worry is death to the thanksgiving . spirit, while nothing so drives worry 1 from the heart au a thanksgiving 2 SOJJ&. i Another thing that helps in forming this habit of thanksgiving is to - make sure of seeing the good and i beautiful things in life. This is a i lovely world. It could not be otherwise, for it is our Father's world. He I made it beautiful because it was to 3 be the home of His children. Yet j some see nothing of the loveliness > which lies about them continually 4 everywnere. iney are liKe men louri ing through a country with glorious scenory, in a stage coach, keeping the i curtains fastened down all the time , and seeing nothing. \ It is said that Mr. Russin's guests 1 .At Brantwood were often awakened i early in the morning by a knocking i at their door and the call, "Are you looking out?" When, in response to this summons, they would open their window blinds, their eyes would be charmed by the view that they saw. It is not every one wno sleeps at mgm in such a place as Brantwood, and can have a Coniston morning to greet his vision when he awakes and opens hia windows. But there is glory enough in the morning anywhere to start our hearts singing at the dawn of the day, if only we would look out. It would be well if all of us could be awakened every morning with the call, "Are you looking out?" There is always something worth seeing if we would draw our curtains and look out. This is true not only of nature, but of all the experiences of life. We allow ourselves to be too much impressed by somber views. We let the troubles and the unpleasant things bulk too largely in our vision. We live too much indoors, with our own frets' and cares. If every morning we would fling open our windows and look out on the wide reaches of God's love and goodness we could not help singing. Some one writes: "Many a day would be brighter If begun with some thought in the heart that might open the door to a nobler vision of life, and would not some of our less cheerful moods be dispelled by a wider outlook?" Our lives are all too apt to run In grooves, and often they are very narrow grooves, indeed. Yet all about us are scenes of beauty, not in nature alone, but in the lives of our fellow men. Often in trie most unexpected places, in some nook or cranny of a nature that seemed only forbidding, we shall find some blossom of rarest fragrance. In those quiet hours of meditation, when our hearts reach up to the great heart of God, we may stand upon the mountain tops with Him and catch glimpses Df that land which too often seems afar off.

HEART TROUBLE KILLED HER Sivayed Her Set by Dignity, Not Wealth?Undisputed In Reign? Smile or Frown Recognized or Denied Social Ambitions. New York City.?Mrs. William Astor, for almost half a century the undisputed head of American society t * * | auu mo aiunci ui IUO auumi n^rcuuea of Americans in London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Vienna, St. Petersburg and other European capitals, died from heart trouble in her home, at No. 842 Fifth avenue. Dr. Austin Flint, Jr., the family physician, had spent three days and three nights at her bedside. With him mosli of the| time was Dr. Billings. They exhausted every known resource of medical science to save the life of Mrs. Astor. The news was flashed immediately the length and breadth of the social world. Wherever It went it was received with sorrow and regret, so great was the affection in which Mrs. Astor was held by those who so many years had availed themselves gladly of her social .leadership* No untitled woman In the w'otld, perhaps, ever exercised sach great and far-reaching social power. Her mere word fixed the social status of .thousands, of aspiring families, not only here but also abroad. There were few men. or women, howeyer energetic in their social enterprises, who succeeded in climbing over or under the bars Mrs. Astor reared. Her ban, which closed the doors of the most exclusive set to such aspirants here, operated just as effectively in the social centres in Europe. On the other hand, those who went to Europe bearing the seal of approval of Mrs. Astor were welcomed everywhere. On this side of the water Mrs. Astor was as supreme socially In Newport, Bar Harbor and the other'social centres as she was In Fifth avenue. It was admitted on/all sides that a woman who could withstand the pleas of many of the richest families in the world for recognition, who could defy the thunderlngs of industrial kings ( upon the portals of society, and Who could command Ward MacAllister to cut down her own set fronKappro::!mately 1000 to 400 without ^sing dethroned from her queenship by a revolution, could do anything she essayed to do. Mrs. Astor's maiden name was Caroline Webster Schermerhorn, and she was born on September 22, 1830, Her parents were Abraham Schermerhorn, a well known New York lawyer, and Helen (White) Schermerhorn. The family is descended from Jacob Janse Schermerhorn, one of the first settlers of New Nethcrland, who came to New York on the ship Van Rensselaerwyck in 1636. Five children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Astor, of whom three survive. The surviving ones are Colonel John Jacob Astor, who in February, 1891, wedded Miss Ava Lowle' Willing, in Philadelphia; Mrs. George Ogilvie Haig, formerly Mrs. J. Coleman Drayton, and Mrs. M. Orme Wilson, who was formerly Miss Caroline Astor, and whose marriage to Mr. Wilson was celebrated at the Astor mansion on November 18, 1884.
