DON'T BE TOO SENSITIVE.-Therea are
many people always looking out fol
Sights. They cannot carry on the daily
intercourse of the family without finding
that some offense is designed. They are
as touchy as hair triggers. If they me-
an acquaintance who happens to be pre-
occupied with business, they attribute biz
abstraction in some matter personal t.
themselves and take umbrage accordingly
They lay on Others the fruit of irritability
Indigestion makes them see impertinenct
in every one they come in contact will {.
Innocent persons, who never dream OF
giving offense, are astonished to fnd
some unfortunate word, or momenta-
ry taciturnity, mistaken for an insult
To say the least, the habit is unfortunate.
It IS far wiser to take the more charitabl
view Of our fellow beings, and not SUD-
pose that slight is intended unless the
neglect is open and direct. After all, too,
life has its hues in great degree from th
color of our own minds. If we are franz
and generous, the world treats us kindly;
if, on the contrary, we are suspicious, men
learn to be cold and cautious towards us.
Let a person get the reputation of being
''teuchy," and everybody is under re
straint, and il this way the chances Of an
imaginary offense are increased.

JOSH BILLINGS WIsDOM.-The man
who gets bit twice by the same dog is bet
ter adapted for that kind of business than
any other.
There is great deal of religion in this
world that is like life preserver, only
put on at the moment of immediate dang
er and then half the time put on hind side
before.
Experience is school where man
leans what big fool he has been.
The man who doesn't believe in any
hereafter has got a dreadfully mean opin-
ion himself and his chances.
There are two kinds of fools in this
world-those who can't change their opin-
ions and those who won't.
A good doctor is gentleman to whom
we pay three dollars a visit for advising
us to eat less and exercise more.
Out in the world men show us two sides
of their characters; by the fireside only
one.
The world is filling up with educated
fools-mankind read too much and learn
too little.
Every man has his follies and oftentimes
they are the most interesting things he has
got.

Beautiful Dreams.


Beautiful Dreams.
She lay unct nsci u .in dreamy sleep,
While her fe-t de was ebbing slowly;
We knew she W I'D pass with the sinking sun
AS we wat;iet by he pillow owly.
And vainy We wait d her farewell word,
One whisper n y the silence stirred
Beautiful dreams? beautiful dreamsv'
Again we listened, she slumbered on;
Like leaf in the light wind shaken
Her breathing t1uttered, her pulse beat low,
We thought she would never waken.
She lift cd her large and lus' rous eyes,
And uttered again in glad surprise,
''Sueh beautiful, beautiful dreams!'
No more-on the wings of those beautiful dreams
She was gone, and the day was ended;
As we folded her hands to their last repose
The evening shades descended;
And the stars came out and wrote on high
In golden letters the mystery
Beautiful dreams! beautiful dreams"
All! no mere vision of other days,
Ofyouth's einembei ed sto:y,
Had Ii her fair and fadin face
With o iapFlronS a glory.
Shining across deaths pallid night
From the LAM that WIS breaking on her sight,
Came those beautiful, beautiful dreams.l
White hands beckoned across the flood,
Sweet lips uttered come overv
Eyes looked welcome that never shone
In the gaze of mortal lover.
Lingering, listening, passing away,
She could only smile upon us and say
Beautiful dreams beautiful dreams ~
