When Byron Wrote Don Juan.

Nine. Guiccioli "told me that he
wrote all the last cantos on play bills
(some of which I saw myself or on any
odd piece of paper at hand, and with
repeated glasses of gin punch at his side.
He then used to rush out of his room to
read ia her what he had written, max
ing many alterations and laughing i'm.
moderately. She was very proud and
fond Of him, but described him as hav-
ing a very capricious temper, and with
nothing of the passion which pervades
his poetry, and which he was IN the
habit Of ridiculing-in fact, with a cold
temperament. With all his abuse of
England, he insisted on keeping up old
customs in small things, such as having
hot cross buns on Good Friday and
roast goose on Michaelmas Day. This
last fancy led to a grotesque result. At
ter buying a goose and fearing it might
be too lean, he fed it every day for a
month previously, so that the poet and
the bird became 80 mutually attached
that when Sept. 90 arrived he couldnot
kill it, but bought another, and had the
pct goose swung in q cage under
his window.

80 bad tidings, or anything which gave
me such a shock.
Still worse was the u~tterance of Theo-
dore Dwight at New Haven, before the
Society of the Cincinnati, in July, 1901,
when he said, thinking of France and
applying his thoughts to America:
We have reached the consumma-
ton of democratic blessedness. We
have a country governed by biockheada
and knaves. The ties of marriage with
all its felicities severed and destroyed.
Our wives and our daughters are thrown
INTO the stews. Our children are cast
into the world from the breast, forgot
ten. Filial piety is extingu,shed, and
our sirnames, the only mark of distinc-
ton among families, are abolished.

Chicago and Her Big Fire.
Tribune, Oct 10.

AADhho WV Nv - dr.
Thirteen years ago to-day Chicago
was a smoking waste. For nearly two
days fire had swept over 1000 acres of
its fairest and most enterprising area,
destroying more than 1900 buildings,
among them allits public structures
and its largest business houses, banks,
newspaper Offices and places of amuse-
ment, entailing a loss of $3.50, 900. 900 Of
property and turning nearly 100 900 of
its people out of their homes. In three
years of time it was substantially re-
built and started upon a new career of
prosperity. To-day scarcely a trace
remains of that Widespread ruin. In its
place larger and finer structures havs
risen, and north, south aud west Chi
cago is reaching out and extending her
dominion. The horror of 1871 is now
scarcely remembered; at most it is but
a dim "Reminiscences. Almost a genera
ton has been added to it's numbers and
crowds of newcomers have moved
here, SO that q large proportion of its
GOO, 900 people have little actual knowl-
edge of the events Of those terrible
days, and SO far away have we drifted,
and so radient and magical have been
the changes, that probably few of those
who passed through the fry ordeal re-
called it yesterday or would remember
it to-day but for this reminder.

Happiness a Habit.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Every permanent state of mind is
largely the effect Of habit. Just as we
can perform an action so continually
that it comes to be habitual, so we can
encourage conditions Of mind till they,
too, come to be habits Of thinking and
even Of feeling. Every thoughtful par
ent or teacher recognizes this in the
training of youth. The child constant
~ thwarted or scolded or ridiculed has
constantly aroused within him feelings
of resentment or Encouragement or
misery, and these grow to be habitual,
and a character for ill-temper or mo-
roseness or dependency is formed. On
the other hand, the child who is wise.
ly treated, whose faculties are brought
into action, who is encouraged to do
we'll, who is surrounded with cheerful
faces and orderly arrangements, be-
comes accustomed to corresponding
habits of thought and feeling. The ex-
ercise of self-control, of truthfulnes, of
honesty, and other essential qualitl es,
not only result in habitual actions of
the same nature, but in habitual feel
ings or states of mind that induce those
actions. So the condition which we call
happiness is likewise acquired to a con-
siderable degree. 1t involves within it
many things. but they are not impossi-
BILE to secure, and when we have dis
covered them it rests with us whether
to encourage or to discourage them.
Happiness is not only a privilege, but a
duty, not o mere outward good that
may perhaps come to us, but an inward
possession which we are bound to attain.
When we remember the contagious
character of happiness, the strength,
courage. and hope its excites by it's very
presence and the power for good it ex-
erts in every direction, we cannot doubt
our obligation to attain Is much of it as
is possible.
