A WIFE of nearly ten years, giving her
servant holiday, was attending TO
culinary matters herself, and hearing her
husband coming into the kitchen,
thought she would surprise him, as soon as
he opened the door, by throwing her hand
over his eyes and imprinting kiss on his
brow, as in the honeymoon. The husband
returned the salute with interest. 'sMary,
darling, where is your mistress ?'' The
wife discharged "Mary darling" the next
day. and has adopted new plan of ''sur-
prising her husband.'

Sources of Happiness.

But II cases oil perennial happi-
ness are rare, we all have joyful moments. I
suppose that one of the most unaIloyed of
earthly pleasures is the giving of perfect
snub. For most persons are like Ianthe, who
never thinks of the precise gesture, the most
fitting, whitening word and action. till it is at
least thirty minutes too late. When the per-
son who should be withered is actually in our
presence, we are either too much fustered to
do our best, or else that singular fatality we
are all under, OF sympatbizing with the pres
ent humanity, keeps us from being utterly re-
morseless. Besides, a successful snub implies
a capacity for being snubbed on the part of
the other person. Only at rare and precious
epochs are all tie conditions fulfilled.
There is certain happiness in per-
feet hate. There is no satisfaction in half
hating; it is like toast toasted on one
side only. butterflies ia bird-cage, halt
ripe cherries, an undress rehearsal, and every
thing else that misses roundness and DOWN
rightness. Denunclaiion must be untemper-
ed, or it is worthless as a consolation to the
soul. The great trouble with many people is
to find something that can be despised in this
whole ale way. lit is difficult for Them to per-
petuate sentiment of unreserved desplsal
toward any single living human being, or
even single family of human bengs-al-
though, Oh the other hand, there are many
who are not troubled in that way. Natures
thus hampered may be driven to take up with
some historical person, or with an entire na-
tion. Large numbers of people, most OF
whom were born in Great Britain or its de-
Tendencies, find principal part of their
earthly happiness in hating trance. Coler-
idge was, probably, no better at this than
millions OF his countrymen, but, according
to Julian Charles Young, he was more sue
