We all advise cheerfulness, and we all ad-
mire it-especially in other people-but we
do not always attain to it ourselves Of
course there are circumstances under which
cheerfulness is simply impossible-with a rag
ing toothache, for instance. or when you
have just upset the ink on the new carpet,
or have been caught in. a violent shower
without an umbrella and with your best
suit To be admonished to be cheerful at
such times is adding aggravation to misfor-
tune, and might exhaust the patience of Jol,
himself And there are many very small
annoyances too Insignificant to be classified
or remembered, and yet whose daily occur
renee may be and must be expected, over
which we have no right to lose our cheerful
ness for moment. There is no doubt that
the happines OF many a home, the charm OF
many freside, has been clouded and dis
PEELED by this want of, cheerfulness in the
elders OF the family group. Little vexatioas
were sufficient to chase the smile from the
fathers face, or cloud the mothers brow
with annoyance. and so the home gatherings
grew irksome to the children and the bond
of sympathy was forever broken. Let lis
cultivate, therefore, cheerful spirit, and,
like all efforts in the right direction, we
shall find that we cannot improve ourselves
without improving others-thet the reflex Of
our cheerfulness will shine out in the tenn
-pers of those around us and brighten the
darkest days.

WHAT SAVED HEEyE.

her husband was a drunkard. But on,
night he came home at very late hour ant

greatly shocked, told him he,was sick, an,
to lie down at once, and in a moment or tw,
he was comfortably OH sofa, in a drunker
sleep. His face was reddish purple, hi
breathing was heavy, and altogether he was
pitiable looking object.
The doctor was sent for; post-haste, ant
mustard applied to his feet and hands
When the doctor came and felt his pulse
and examined him and found that he wa!
only drunk, he said: -
GO He will be all right in the morning."
But the wife insisted that he was very
sick, and that severe remedies must be
used.
"You must shave his head and apply
blisters," she urged, or Will send for some
one who will" .-.
The husbands head was accordingly
shaved closely and blisters applied.
The patient lay all night in drunken
sleep, and, Notwithstanding the blisters
were eating into his flesh, it was not til
near morning that he began to beat about

About daylight he woke up to mos
uncomfortable consciousness of blistered az

to say, he never had another attack.

NEGLECT OF CHILDREN.

Many mother has wept over the sins Of
her child, little dreaming. that while she pur-
sued her round of idle pleasures, that child
was taking its first lesson in sin from vi
cious nurse. I, The truth is, parents take up
on themselves too many unnecessary bur-
dens, and consider themselves bound by
duty to perform too many tasks, which are
of much less consequence than the teaching
and training of children. The father has
his trade or profession, and his. few leisure
hours he must spend in social pleasure The
mother has her household cares, and the
comforts of her family to study and be-
sides this, there is much time to be devoted
to fancy-work, visitors, and to amusemeHts
