Right Type of Patriotism.

Every American who does not think his land the fairest that ever the sun shone on, his own state the finest in the Union, and his town the best place in which to live has not reached 4Be same celestial -plane' of Joy and patriotism as the foreigner, who thinkshis little wind-swept bog is'the happiest spot in the happiest land the good God ever made. This is the love^of people that inhabit it. This is what makes every hill and valley, every rock and rill, the most beautiful in the world, because it Is ours, tnad6 sacred and beautiful by the memories woven around it.— Exchange. - • i
