A WRITER in an exchange gives the following wise counsel: "Don't carry your business home. Leave it down town; wait and npieet its hardships to­ morrow when you haverenewed strength. Don't meet your family with a flag of despair flying at halfmast, and by word and act send a chill to the hearth and hearts of your home which will destroy every chance for them to help you by the loving kindness they would otherwise extend. It is a hard matter to accom­ plish, we know; there are a thousand and one things to banish from your mind, which it seems impossible to do, but it can be done." PISTAQUA BAY.
