Dismal People.

There are many people who take
Il strange delight in being dismal.
Some Of them are so selfish that
nothing is ever right, because they
imagine they ought to have some
thing extraordinary in the way of
luck. y few are ill-tempered, and
adopt the dismal line on purpose
to spite those who live with them.
being well assured that this is the
most etfectnal way Of so doing
But the mainrlty Of the dismals are
good people (or, at least, people
who WANT to be goodD, and they APP
pear to be dismal strictly on con.
scientiouS grounds. II they put
their feelings into words they
would probably say something of
this sort:
This world is made up Of sin,
and SOrrow, and suffering. 1t is
Il probation, and we need not look
for anything pleasant until we pass
into the next. W., must not give
way to happiness. encourage JOY.
1t is true that God gives the sun
shine ana flowers, but He intend,
that while looking at them we shall
constantly remind ourselves that
the rain will come and chat the
flowers will die.u
1t seems impossible that such
hearts can love, but perhaps they
do so after their own dismal fash
ion. Everything is done for duty,
and if by chance in performing this
duty they stumble upon the doing
of anything pleasant they are sure
to spoil the taste of it. The ques-
zion is, what pleasure do such peo,
pie find in life7 The best thing
that mortals can do while passing
through this thorny world is to
pluck us many roses as possible.

Ny Hand and Seal.

y thousand years ago, the mass.
es, the nobility, the poor and the
rich, were wholly unacquainted
with the mysteries of the alphabet
and the pen. A few men known
as clerks, who generally belonged
to the priesthood, monopolized
them as special class Of artists
They taught their business only to
their Seminaries' apprentices; and
beyond them and their few pupils,
no one knew how to read and
write; nor was it expected Of the
generality, any more than it would
be nowadays that everybody should
be II shoemaker or Il lawyer
Kings did not know how to sign
their names, so that when they
wanted to subscribe to Il written
contract, law Or treaty, whicl: some
clerk had drawn up for them, they
would smear their right hand with
ink and slap it down upon the
parchment, saying, "Witness my
hand" At IA later date some gen.,
liz; devised the substitute OF IL seal.
which was impressed instead Of
the hand, but oftener beside the
hand. Every gentleman had IL
seal with Il peculiar device thereon.
Hence the sentimental words now
III use. "Witness my hand and SEAL"
affixed to modern deeds, serves 1T
least the purpose Of reminding us
of the middle ages.
