EDITORS CHAT.

The General Objector-Are You One?
Tn almost every family there is general OBJ
fector whose province il is 10 find fault aud raise
objections to every plan suggested by others.
From the simplest plans of the children to the
more weiuhty affairs of the elders, the general OBJ
jecior iuIerleres.
Everything is objected to. If the children talk
al breakfast about some little game TO be played
in the yard. the objecior Immediately thinks the
sun is too hot; and if the contrary, they want
TO play in the house. the objection will he raised
that children should play outside in the Summer.
If The girls talk of wearing Summer gowns TO
picnic the objector says they will get their death
of cold; while if they want to wear wool gowns
the objection is made that if they wear too thick
dresses now they will have nothing when Winter
comes.
If John decides to go to the Worlds Fair in Au-
gust the obeetor says he viii "be sure to get sick
during the dog-days -; and if, on the other hand.
he wants to go in October, the objector remon-
ssrates that in Oelorber half of tho exhibits will
be gone"
No matter what trivial plan is proposed, what
policy outlined, the general ebjecor must object
This constitutional grumbler is generally the
possessor Of a bad temper and a complaining dis
position, which it is allied to martyrdom 10 be
obliged to live with.
No, only l. everything objected TO, but when the
DIRECTIONS are nos hSeu6u tbOES loNo"S an
round of complaint and murmuring. To hear
nothing but whining and fretting, to have every
pleasant thought scared away by this evil spirit, is
q sore trial and has deadly influence upon us.
II is like the sting Of a scorpion perpetual net
tie, destroying your peace of mind, rendering Tile
a burden. The purest, sweetest atmosphere Is
soured wherever the general objector holds sway,
sud the peace Of many home is marred by this
unlovely influence.
The general objector is also to be found In fami-
lies of a wider growth; in churches clubs. and or
EXAMINATIONS of every kind, and many society has
been disbanded, many project made failure, be-
cause of the omnipresent ohjecior.
Who is the general ohjector in your family! Is
il yoH? Remember. that rs one string out OF tune
will destroy the music of instrument, one dis
cordant element will destroy The harmony OF the
family.
KIND THOUGHTS FROM C. C. FRIEND.
Every kind thought has its echo in some other
heart. and goes bounding along, carrying bright
and blessing into a thousand hearts ana
homes; or il is like pebble cast into the stream,
whose circles widen and widen until they beat
upon the distant shore.
So come the thoughts from kindly c. c. hearts
10 cheer the Editor in interminable round OF
duties, TO carry sympathy aud encouragement to
many weary life. and to widen the circle Of c. c.
frsteTnties in the great sea of kindred souls.
As the poet says, when describing those who
have kindly thought and helping hand for
those ali around them:
Kind hearts are more than coronets."

country in which they reside, others telling of its
