An Old-fashioned Woman.—The keeper of the Santa Barbara lighthouse, Mrs. Julia F. Williams, is seventy-three years of age; yet for the last thirty-five years she has climbed forty steps, from her living rooms to the light, six times in the twenty-four hours, one of which is at midnight. Ten of these steps are the rungs of an iron ladder, which lead through a trap-door to the light tower. She has raised her family of six children, done her own sewing by hand, because she likes it better than machine sewing, found time to read, and never has been consumed by longing for the great vain world. She says that she has "never had time to grow old." Her constancy and faithfulness is an example for Christians to "keep the lower lights a burning." May the Lord light her pathway to that world where there will be no lights needed to warn of possible danger.
