Small Troubles.

A philosopher suggest that IL you
would keep a book and every day put
down things that worry you, and see
what becomes OF them, it would be a
benefit to you. You allow thing to
annoy you just as you allow fly to
settle on you and plague you. and you
lose your temper and you justify your
self in being thrown off your balance
by causes which you do not trace out.
But if you would see what it was that
threw you off your balance, and put it
down in your little book, and follow
out and see what becomes of it, you
would see what fool you were in the
matter The art of forgetting is a
blessed art, but the art of overlooking
is quite as important And if we
should take time to write down the
origin, progress and outcome of few
Of our troubles, it would make us
ashamed of the fuss we made over
them, and we should be glad to drop
such things and bury them at once in
eternal forgetfulness. Life is to short
TO be worn out in petty worries, fret
tings, hatreds and vexations, Nurse
virtues and reasonable recreations and
keep in touch with pleasant friends
who are not thinking always and talk
ing constantly of their bodily troubles.

other noted foreign authors contribute
interesting articles to this number.
