Frettins.

One fretter can destroy the peace of a
family, can disturb the harmony of neigh.
borhood. can unsettle the councils of cities
and hinder in legislation of nations. He
who frets is never the one who mentls.
who heals, who repairs evils; more, he
discouages, enfeeGles, and too often dis
ables those around him, who, but for the
gloom and depression OF his company,
would do good work and keep up brave
cheer. The effect upon sensitive person
Of the mere neighborhood Of fretter is
indescribable. 1t is to the soul what a
cold, icy mist Is to the body-morc chill
ing than the bittcrest storm. And when
the fretter is one who is beloved. whose
nearness of relation to VS. makes his fret
ting at the weather seem like a personal
Seproach to US. then the misery OF it be-
comes indeed insapportable. Most men
cali fretting minor fault-a foible, and
not vice. There is no vice except drunk
cnness which can so utterly destroy the
peace, the happiness of a home.

No III OrSc Shoes.

The shipping of horses on the asphalt
pavements in London has given rise to
some discussion as to the proper form fol-
shoes, whereupon writer in the Times
comes forward with the recommendation
that no horse shoes at all be used! He
says he has.constantly dispensed with them
since 1852, adding: u have owned over
200 animals at one time, dedicated to all
manner Of purposes, draught, saddle and
not one OF them sIod. Some one will say
that they worked over grass or sand. They
cid not. but over the toughest roads i'm

He gives his experience in Brazil, where
pack-horses, without being shod, travel
journeys OF over 500 miles. Unshod horses
are also used in Brazilian cities. without
slipping on the pavements. OF course.
says the writer. if an owner were to pull
off his horses shoes and at once ride him
long distance he would find his horse go
