Though I have only a crust, let me think it sweet, and be thankful I have even that. I shall be far happier with that, if content, than the man who sits down to a table loaded with every delicacy and complains because things are not pleasant to his over-fed palate.

From The New York Times The annual village election of Larchmont-on-the-Sound Tuesday brought out several women of society, who voted for the various village officers and at the same time assisted in carrying the appropriation of $25,000 for the new village sidewalks. The only contest for village officers was between Philip Mandeville, the Democratic nominee and who is thos vHlage horseshoer, and Joseph De-Verin, the Republican candidate, a newsdealer, for taxeollecpr.

I know people lots of them who will not plant flowers and trees about the premises because they are living on a tenement, or that will not adorn their homes because they are old and ugly. They are waiting from year to year to -get homes of their own, and until they are able to build a new house and then they will enjoy these things. "We shall do so much in the year to come." This is their common phrase and they go on living in ugliness until their natures partake of it, complaining, fretting and growing bitter toward pie person who had better things, when that person hag only' been improving what he already had.
