Fretting is both useless and unnecessary
Itdoes no good, but great deal OF harm; yet it
is almost a universal sin. More or less, we are
all given to it, We fret over almost every
tlihg-2sin summer, because it | too hot in
winter, because it Is too cold. We fret wher
it rains, because it is too wet, and when il
doesn't rain, because it is too dry ;when We
are, sick, or when anybody else is sick. In
short, if anything or everything doesn't 60
just to suit our particular whims and fancies,
we have one grand, general refuge TO fret
overit. i am afraid fretting is much more
common among women than among men.
We may as well own the truth, my fair sisters,
lift isn't altogether pleasant. Perhaps 1t is
because the little worries and cares and vex-
ations ofdaily life harrass our sensitive nerves
more than the more. extensive enterprises
which generally take the, attention of men,
Great wants develop great resources; but the
little wants and worries are hardly provided
for, and, like the nail that Strikes against the
saw, they make not much of mark, but they
turn the edges terribly. Il think that if we
look upon, an The little worries Of one day as
greatd1ited worry, self.control to meet it
would be developed. But as they geperally
come oneortwo little things at o ti,ne,s they
seem sosyery little that We give way and the
great ersach once made il the wall soongfows
large. - 7..'''s
don't believe the cant that woman must
always, under all and any circumstances, wear
smiling facewhen her husband comes home,
or that she needs to take her hands out Of
the dough, Or drop the baby on the floor, to
run and meet him at the door, But do be-
lieve-nay, I know, for l have seen it with
my own eyes among my friends--that many
woman has driven kind husband away
from her, away from his home and its sacred
influences, and caused him to spend his time at
billiard table or in drinking saloon and
their profane influences, by ceaseless fretting
over tritles which were not worth word,
much less the peace and happiness of home.
Iknow that many mother has Turned her
son against her own sex, and made him dread
and dislike the society Of women by her ex-
ample constantly set before him. l know
many mother who has brought up and de-
veloped a daugtter just like herself, who, in
her turn, would wreck and ruin the comfort
ofsanother family circle. And knowing all
this my sisters-and. brothers, too, if they
need It'll know we ought to set our faces like
flint against this useless, sinful, peace dis
turbing habit Of fretting.

How I've longed for the days which are fed !;
How oft I've reached, 10 clasp nothing but air
Cold was my breast when found ye not there.
Mother, I've dream'd Of the sweet days of rest

breast
When thy soft hand smoothed the pillow OF
pain

Yet, wnen eve draws nigh with shadow and
light.
Irevei in dreams of parest delight
On. my soul is thrilled with music and song
Dreams are but dreams. yet they haunt us sc
long.

Beneath the green trees all day in the shade
There building our castles SO grand and sc
bright. n-'i ai ~ aF 'a
Thou, and those castles, where are ye to-nigh.
Ny beautiful dead, my beautiful dead,
Flowers planted above thy dear head
And marbles raised, thy name did write,
Then fed me away in darkness OF night
To wander the mountain, valley and mead
Meath alien skies, far away from my dead.
Haunted by memories, so sad, and SO dear
wanderers life, how lonely and drear
NJ beautiful dead. my beautiful dead;
Onto Heaven az d thee my soul is wed.
Oh / sought till found the Guide, oh, thu eGuide
I'll wander no more away from His side.
My beautiful dead, bright angels above,
Floating in bliss on the river of Love-
Float away. foat away, ever forever;
shall wish thee back? Neyer-oh never.
Ny last sigh is dome, my last regret said.
leave thee 10. peace my beautiful dead,
In God will trust till the conflict is DER, b
