PARTIALITY.

There are some people that must
never be blamed; and, again, there are
some that must never be praised
There is sort of step -motherish dis
position running through all the world.
God alone is no respector of persons
Every one ofaus is conscious that some
people can do to us, or to ours, with
IMMUNITY, things which, were. another to
attempt them, wouldsanger us in an in
slant. It is "Jacob have loved, but
Esau have hated, from generation to
generation. In the household, in soci-
ETY., in the business and the literary
world, it is all the same. One must. be
lauded and loved for everything-an-
other tor nothing. At home, while the
children are little, the disposition is
seen-there is pet and there is a
scape- goat in almost every family.
Among the grown up sons and daugh-
ters{ it is still the same:
"What do you mean by such conduct,
you wicked Esau?"
Il was not /, but Jacob that did it. %
"Oh, very we'll; don't think there is
any harm done, after all!' .r..-
d This is the way, Sometimes it is the
wife, sometimes the husband that must
not be blamed No matter what the fa-
vorite does, if a rejecting word is ut
tered somebody is angry and ready for a
fight. You must bear anything and ev-
erything from the favorite, and never
presume to complain-for, how can the
favorite be wrong? He will not be
found so, you may depend on that; and
you will yourself meet with the con-
demnation which you think he deserves.
You will find it your cheapest way to
suffer in silence if the favorite has in
jured you! ~
Life, as well as the household, has its
favorites; and it is in vain for any one
to seek justice against them. They
must not be blamed, nor shamed, nor
thwarted. They must be allowed to
help themselves to the lions share of
everything Nil'oard. g
Ladies and LoOI<ing-glasses.. -
To my mind looking glasses are the
greatest enemies ladies have; they ought
all to be broken to everlastin smash
1T isn'tthat they are false, for they ain t;
they will reflect the truth if they are al
lowed. But, unfortunately, truth never
looks into them. When a woman con-
sllts her glass she wishes to be pleased
she wants to be fattered, and to be put
on good terms with herself, so she treats
it as she would her lover; shesgoe up to
it all smiles, looking as amiabIe and as
beautiful as she can. She assumes the
most winning air; she gazes at the i'm
age with all the affection she can call up
her eyesobeam with intelligence and
with love, and her lips appear all wo.
man could wish or man covet Well
in course the mirror gives hack that
false face to its owner, as it receives it
itain 'tfair, therefore, to blame it for being
unfaithfnl; but as ladies can't use il
without deceivin' themselves, why total
abstinence from it would be better
Now, people may deceive themselves il
they had a mind to, but they can't &C
on forever Time will tell tales
Whatever year gal is born in she has
contemporaries; when she looks at them
and sees that they are ageing,- or the
worse for the wear, she tries to recall
the days of her youth, and finds that
they are lost in the distance, and when
she sees her school fellows and play,
mates married and parents themselves
all the glasses in the world fail at last
to make her believe she is still young
