Causes Of Disappoin tment.

A close observer through life must
have observed that it is filed with dis
appointments, which the exercise of a
little philosophy will frequently over
come, but which certain class of PEG.
pie never exercise. We allude now, not
to the moral, but the spectacular fea-
lures of the subject. A man is arrested
for murder, say, and day fixed for his
examination. When the date arrives an
immense crowd is found In attendance
from all parts of the country to crafty
a morbid curiosity to witness the pro.
ceedings. So soon as the doors are
opened the temple of justice is jammed.
A motion on the part of one of the coun.
sci is made for a continuance, which is
granted, and the throng retires in dis
gust.
Amid the cares of business "A man finds
himself summoned to serve on jury
He appears in court promptly at the
hour specified. and waits and waits to
perform service. Recess is taken and ne
has not been called; but he dare not go
away for fear of being absent when
wanted and thereby mourning a fine.
Two, three, four or Eve days pass, and
wnen the case i, reached upon which
he is to serve, the jury is inn
pannelled and informed that it is
dismissed till the following Monday or
Tuesday. A great horse race is adver.
tised to come off sharp at 2 P. n. Race.
courses are always some distance from
the business centers, so that the patrons
of the turf who wish to be in attendance,
rush things that they may not miss the
boat or car which is to carry them to the
track. They get there on time. A sec
ond boat or train and third keep ar
irving at halfhour intervals, yet the
horses have not started. It is then that
one, to whom even moments are valuable,
feels how egregiously he has been i'm
posed upon. 1t is the same in waiting on
the curb for the moving of a procession.
The column is always an hour or more
behind, to tax the patience and provoke
the growllngs of the anxious spectators.
So long as there is an idle curiosity to be
gratified, and the law has its uncertain
ties, these things must be expected; but
great deal of annoyance could be
avoided if people would call in their ex
perience to guide them when they feel
inclined to go of after novelties at tam
gent.

paralysis had almost deprived him of the
power of speech, work being thus put

Fuss AbOlt a FiOunce.

4 little girl appeared at the infant
school at Marlborough, England, one
day not long ago, in dress which had a
narrow fiounce at the bottom, wht reupon
the door was shut in her face because,
forsooth, the flounce offended against the
rule that infants must come to school
meat and plain in their dress" The
child was told to so home and tell her
mother that the flounce must be removed
but the mother had no idea of spelling
the dress, and so her worthy husband,
Mr. John Balchin, a laborer, was pres
emily hauled before the justices on
charge of neglec;ing to send his child to
school. In the end it was decided that
the defendant must "either take of the
tlounce" or find another school, and on
appeal the educational department de-
clared that i. had no power to interfere
with the rules of voluntary schooling
but there is consolation In knowing that
check has been put on the frightiul ex
travagance of the Balchin family i'll the
