yet none is SO disappointed as himself, for
the solace of having tried to do what one
has not done is mockery. 1t is doing
which brings comfort.
Along with the spirit of order which
leads one to arrange his work so that 1t
shall not be always at his heels, and the
courage which makes him refuse 10 do
what he cannot do well, though he be sus-
pected of shirking-that most hateful
thing to his soul-there is also the ele-
ment, which indeed is but the
spirit of order and of courage
combined, of resolute reserve of leisure.
Forster, in his account of Dickens, has
touched upon the fundamental weakness
of that sad life, the absence of any "city
of the mind" to which he could flee for
refuge from the incessant pressure of the
actual and real upon him. II is, we hold,
necessity for every man of business to
have and guard jealousy some period of
each day which shall be consecrated to
leisure-the leisure of books, or Of gentle
society, or of nature, or of worship. The
last is essential; the others are grateful
aids. In this shelter he has chance to
set his watch by the heavenly bodies, and
when he issues forth, into whatever thickct
OF men or affairs he may plunge, he will
at any rate be himself and not the slave
of necessity. There is no need OF hurry,
for hurry is at variance with freedom
and the need that men have is of freedom.
So it comes to pass that in a hurrying
age the man of leisure is the man of hope,
and the end Of the world to him is the
opening OF fairer prospect for that which
even now lies in his grasp.-Erery Sat

THE LOST PET.


Oh lieti while tell
or the fate that befell
net thai was dear unto me:
rat-and-tan pup
oh. bitter the cup
prepared by that :" Heather Chinee"
The friend of those vendors Of tea.
This young rat-and-tan
Away from me ran
An act which did not foresee,
And though did seek
For over N week
tn find him, Ii was not to be,
You'll zee,
Twas the work Of that sinful Chinee.
His name was Ah-bct
Not the name of my pet,
Bnt of him Of Chinese pedigree}-
And he kept a small shop
And had the best chop
of tit bits from over the sea,
That he
Obtained from his far-fsmed patr-ie.
He had "chow-chow" that tickles
The lover Of pickles,
Though with me it did never agree
And things filed with spice
Which may have been mice
They looked enough like them-desr me,
10 see
such food in the "land Of the free"
One day I'd a friend
Who was coming to spend
The day, and take dinner with me;
So went TO Ah-bet
And told him to get
A rabbit and fxina, and he
Said, Osa."
In manner quite Frenchy to see.
The clock had struck one;
The dinner was done
And served up with steaming Bohea!
ss"ris excellent fare
This rabbit or hare.
whichever il may be, said he;
Mon ami
"You've q prize in that Heather Chinee."
just then in the dish
I noticed him fish
For something he thought he could see,
That don't look right;
And brought to the light
A tag, with inscription: Toby"
All mel
Twas that OF my lost faUoyi.

Well, TO explain, our parish may be an

our police jury have to select site or
building for its courthouse on either ex-
IRENE edge is not justice, and such they
have done in selecting building OF the

been determined upon, we believe, without

The most continent and pure minded men &C.
distressing Affections In this manner, and for
these causes, we frequently met with men Of good

in consequence OF infrmity. suffer much mental
cases demand both MORAL and MEDICAL TREAT
practitioners affect great indifference and even
aversion to inOivduas who are in Q suffering con-
ditien from the disease under consideration. Such
patients although they may be respng the re-
wards of their own folly. are, nevertheless, the
very ones who have special need Of correct counsel
and are, for the most part, in just the frame Of
judicious MEG ical man. In my experience. it has
always appeared strange to me why treatment Of
these diseases should remain abandoned by
spectacle members OF the profession to the benefit
of quacks and those vile harpies who prey on this
cl +ss of victims.
Medical men are too apt to treat the complaints
of such patients lightly, making effort to alay
their an xiety-a course which often leads them to
apply for aid in illegtimate quarters, and to be-
come the victims OF unprincipled men.
The brain is usually the first organ to give indi
cation OF disturbance. Therefore, many years of
experience have taught the utility OF diree ting
my treatment to regeneration of the cerebral
organs.
The Medical Times says: Or Curtis system Of
treatment, the result of twenty years successful
practice, differs essentially from all others in gem
eral use and from its simplicity commends itself to
the afflicted as the only true source of relief Many
important cases pronounced incurable have yielded
to the remedies employed by him.
