Elixir of Youthful Spirits.

“As I was walking up and down my room the other day,” said a man, “wrapped in thought and absorbed in care, with head lowered and hands clasped behind me, I heard a tittering, and looking back I saw my children following me, each with bowed head and clasped hands; they had tried hard to be very solemn, but had found it quite impossible. I could not help laughing myself when I saw them, but I picked up my burden and marched on. Promptly the children fell in again and marched after me; when I turned a corner I saw them tagging on as before. We all laughed again, and then the children and I played soldier for a while. When we got through with that I found that my serious friend care had gone away.”—New York Sun.
