BY T. S. ARTHUR.

"You are sober this evening" said Mrs.
Landell to her husband. 81 hope nothing
has gone wrong during the day"
Mr.. Landell, who had been sitting with
his eyes upon the floor, silent and abstrac-
ted for some moments, reused himself at
these words of his wife, and looked up at
her, smiled in a forced way, as he an
swered-
ooh, no; nothing at all has gone
wrong"
Don't you feel well p
The voice of Mrs Landell was just sha-
ded with concern.
"Well enough in body, but not as COM
Portable in mind as | desire
.sThen something has gone wrong,
said the wife, her manner troubled.
"Nothing more than usual, replied MIR.
Landell The forced smile faded away
from his countenance. Mrs. Landell sigh
ed
"Than usual Z" She repeated his words
looking with earnest inquiry into her
husbands face. Then she added In a
tender manner
"Bring home your trouble, dear. Don t
hide anything. Let me share with you
the good and ill Of life. Did you not know
that hearts draw nearer in suffering than
they do in JOY %
"Bless your kind heart, Alice p' said
Mr.. Landell, broad smile creeping over
his face as he caught her round cheeks be-
tween his hands and kissed her. 'Ihere
isn't any thing in the case so serious as all
that comes to. I'm not going to fail IN
business haven't lost anything worth
speaking about; haven't cheated anybody
and don't intend to it's only this hasty,
impulsive temper of mine that is always
leading me to say or do something that
leaves sting"
The cloud passed from the face of Mrs.
Landell.
"You will overcome that in time, Ed
ward"

young men when mild reproof would
have been more just and of more salutary
effect. He is sensitive, and my words

that he passed with his wife most clearly
testified.

UNPLEASANT PEOPLE.-There Is 4
class of unpleasant people often met with
in the world, whose unpleasantness is diff
cult to assign the cause for. They are
not necessarily unkind persons they are
not ungenerous and they do not appear
to talk or act from any malice. But
somehow or other they are mostly unfor-
tunate in what they say. They ask the
wrong thing, or they omit to ask the right.
They bring forward the disagreeable rem
iniscence, the ludicrous anecdote about
you which you would rather not hear re-
pcated in large company, the painful cir
cumstance which you wish was buried and
out of sight. If you have any misfortune
they rush to prove to you that your own
fol y was the cause. If you are betrayed,
they knew it would be SO, and remember
that they have often told you so. They
cannot imagine that the poor unfor-
tunate man is not in state just then to
hear all this wisdom. In fact, to use
metaphor, it seems as if they had super
naturally large feet, with which they go
stamping about and treading on other
peoples toes in all directions.

The moorland lies dreary waste;
The night is dark with drizzling rain:
In yonder yawning cave of cloud
The snaky lightning writhes with pain'
And the wind is wailing bitterly.
o sobbing rain, outside my door!
o waling phantoms, make your moan
Go through the night in blind despair
Your shadowy lips have touched my own.
And the wind is waing bitterly.
No more the robin breaks its heart
OF music in the painless woods.
The ravens croak fer such as |,
The plovers scrcech above their broods
And the wind is wailing bitterly.
All mournful things are friends of mine
That weary sound of falling leaves!-
All, there is not kindred soul
For me on earth, but mourns and greves!
And the wind is wailng bitterly,
fca9not sleep this lonesome night;
The ghostly rain goes by in haste.
And, further than the eye can reach,
The moorland lies dreary waste!

SENs1rIvENEss.-Sens a quality
inseparable from a fine, sympathetic nature,
is yet dangerous gift. With many it is a
great source Of unhappiness, sowing thorns
between them and their fiiendns, imagining
Sights, and diligently rubbing every wound
ded place with nettles. To approach such
people, is like treading among eggs. Every
word must be guarded, and it is almost as
dangerous to be silent as to speak. This is a
morbid kind Of sensitveness, which can only
be corrected by habits Of sef-reance and
charity, and by a healthy occupation of the
mind
