ROLLING STONES.
1 Ilolling stones gather no moss. They i don’t want to. Thev prefer polish, * and this they certainly get. Quite | early in their history their corners are ■ knocked off. We cannot believe, when i we meet them in the smooth perfec- • tion of maturity, that they ever had I Delightful people, who know how to 1 interest and amuse us. who never bore us, never embarrass us. never accentuate the raw edges that there are to life, and generally make us feel ten times more alive than wc did before they came ! Of course tliey don’t stay. Tt is the moss-grown who remain. They are the permanent figures in our lives : vii-ir should we do without their kindliness and reliability, tlieir very ettangelessness P They lack initiative and daring, they are the picturesque victims of their own habits. We could not imagine them moved any more than we could picture the removal to another country of the ivv-clad church in the English village we love best. Some things and some people stay where they are put. And some do not. We should not. disparage either. ]
