What We Live For.

“What is life?” some one asked Montford. His answer is ono of the most charming things ever written: “The present life is sleeping and waking; it is ‘good-night’ on going to bed. and ‘good-morning’ on getting up; it is to wonder what the day will biing forth; it is rain cn the window when ono sits by the fire; it is to walk in the' garden and see the flowers and hear the birds sing; it is to hear news from east, west, north and south; it is to read old books and new books; it is to see pictures and hear music; it is tc have breakfast and dinner and tea; if' is to belong to a town, and havo neigh-* bors, and to become one in a circle oi acquaintances; it is to have friends and; love; it is to have sight of dear old; faces; and it is to know themselves thought of many times a day, in many places, by many children and grand- 1 children, and many friends.” j
