She moved when the bishop said she might. And being a wise wo- man, she didn't spend her time in fault-finding; she looked for the best in everyone. The old man in this family didn't seo life that way. When he didn't like things he told the world, and most of the time he didn't like any- one or anything. When things got too bad in one neighborhood for him ho moved on to another, and he has lived in a good many places. Now, by a freak of fate these two folks are thrown under the same roof, though they are the most remote of in-laws. The contrast between them is so marked, that every chance caller remarks on it. There is no tragedy of old age about the woman. She is Uie bright spot in the family life, always busy, always considerate, al- ways thinking of others, full of bright little anecdotes of folks she has known, and never asking a thing for herself. But the man fairly oozes old ago tragedy. Ho glowers in his corner, only speaking to find fault or make an inconsiderate demand for attention. He feels that he is neg- lected and abused, because folks don't swarm about him as they do the old lady. It never once occurs to him that it is his own unlovely nature which drives would-be friends away. Of course, old age has its hardships oven for the bright and cheerful. There is sickness, pain, sorrow, all too often poverty. But none of these partially freeze before addting the' cherries.
