What thoroughly mystifies me 1 is how people can shut their eyes to its effects. A woman will risk her life | i to have a child and then torture it | with her tongue until the little creaâ€" | / ture is an example of distorted huâ€"‘ manity. And this fatal error seems®‘ to be a thing of temperament, a conâ€" ; stitutional disease. One of the hapâ€" piest men I know is a fellow who could ; not construct a grammatical sentence, | and I think his spelling is phonetic; yet he carries with him an atmosphere of joy. It is a perfect delight to visit | him. His wife is an embodiment of | health and good humor, and she looks likes an elder sister of her own great | boys and girls. I just watched â€" his| method, and found it was not a matter | of chance, although it had become secâ€"| ond nature. Hse discovered the good | everywhere. He told m«e, one day, that | he bad grown up in an oldâ€"fashioned | family of bluse Presbyterians. The propriety of a child‘s laughter was & question of grave discussion. He was then, as now, merryâ€"hearted, full of bealth and bopeful. He concluded ihat nothing worth having is got by quarrelling, and finally left the house, having registered a mental vow never to find fault with anybody. If he saw nothing to praise in the conduct of anoiher he could at least, refrain from condemnation. His wonderful rule has worked to perfection, He has conquerâ€" ead peace and he bears it about with him. His children are trained not to carp at each other or find fault with the servants.

However, I am goin% back this time with a new theory of the future." _ Everett‘s smile flect upon. Mr. Pounce took great comfort out of his house which held the chief place | ; in his affectionss Inanimate objects excited his curiosity, roused his admirâ€" alion, absorbed his attention, and even won his devotion and inspired his love. Many of his leisure hours were spent in old curiosity shops and among the treasures of pawnâ€"brokers. In unâ€" redsemed pledges he read strange storâ€" | ies of romance and pathos. For these silent witnesses of the secrets of brokâ€" en hearts he arranged the most beauâ€" tiful receptacles. Satin and velvet linâ€" ed cases, protected by glass, contained the costly, delicate objects that he deâ€" sired to possess and willingly rescued from sad,ohscurity. Disappointed in love, his admiration and appreciation of the beautiful took refuge in works of art. His collections were his pets.. Ho bandled them, sat with them, watched them with jealous eyes, and only exhibited them to a select foew among his visitors. Rose followed him eagerly when he proposed showing her his rooms, and was glad to hear that he bhad purpose!y named an earlier hour for bher visit so as to enjoy her society before the arrival of his other dinner guests. His pride in his home was natural. He had certainly designed a beautiful dAwelling for his own convenience and satisfaction. Each room, in finish and furnishing, was an example of a cerâ€" tain wood, carved and polished t .
