sympathy.

Till we have reflected on ii, we are
scarcely aware how much the sum OF
human happiness in this world is In.
debted to this one feeling-sympathy
We get cheerfuluess and vigor, we
scarcely know how or when, from mere
association with our fellow.men, and
from the looks reflected on us of glad
ness and enjoyment. We catch insplra.
tion and power to go on from human
presence and from cheerful looks. The
woman works with additional energy
having Others by. The full family cir
Gle has strength and life peculiarly Its
own. The substantial good and the Of.
fectual relief which we extend TO an.
other is trifling. 1t is not by these, but
by something far less costly, that tho
work is done. God has insured 1t by q
much more simple machinery. Hehas
given to the weakest and the poorest
power to contribute largely to the COM
mon stock of gladness. The child's
smile and laugh are mighty powers In
this world When bereavement has
left you desolate, what substantial ben-
eft is there which makes coincidence
acceptable" 1t can bestow upon you
nothing permanent. But a warm hand
has touched yours, and its thrill told
you that there was living response
there to your emotion. One look, one
human sigh, has done more for you
than the costliest present could.

The Sin Of ExaggeratiOn.

There is fault which does not get it..
self called by the name of "lie," but
which is dangerous close relation to
it, and is the habit Of exaggeration. A
man hears thing, true enough in its
original shape, but he passes it on with
little addition of his own. The man
to whom he passes it adds his touch of
exaggeration, until at last the statement
is so swollen and distorted as to convey
everything but the facts of the case
Like many statements that have gone
forth and obtained credence in the
world, and yet, thoug h they are in their
final state grossly false, and do sore in
justice, it is difficult to charge any one
with full grown lie, in the share he
has had in propagating the deceit. The
result is sort of accumulative lie made
by successive persons contributing a
little touch of exaggeration to the story
as it came to their hands.
The worst of it is that this mischief
is caused by the exercise of power that
is sometimes useful mean that crea-
tive imaginative power which lends life
TO description. A man hears thing,
and then gives it the color of his own
thoughts almost unconsciOusly yet, |
fear, this may produce great, mischiev.
Gus, perhaps disastrous, results. And
who is to blame? Why every one who
has share in the additions which the
story or statement has received. See
no. responsible we may be for the ef-
iects of a lie, even when we do not wish
to deceive. How careful we should be
not to add TO what we hear. If we
must repeat it, or help circulate it, let
us leave it as it came. Let us pass il on
scrupulously unchanged, with no twist
or increase of our own.

Marriage, which most girls consider
the sole aim Of their existence and the
END OF all their anXietios, is often the
beginning of set of troubles which
none among them expect, and which,
when they come, very few accept with
the dignity of patience or the reasona-
bleness Of common sense. LIitherto the
man has been the suitor, the WOOer /;
