anything depressing, and by the help
OF God have kept my resolution.

The small insect annoyances of life
sometimes come in the shape OF local
physical trouble, which does not
amount to q positive prostration, but
which bothers YOU when You want to
feel the best. Perhaps IL Is sick
headache which has been the plague
OF your life, and you appoint some oc-
casion OF mirth, sociality, or useful
ness, and when the clock strikes the
hour you can not make your appear
ance. Perhaps the trouble is between
the ear and the forehead, in the shape
of a neuralgia twinge. Nobody can
see it or sympathize with it; but just
at that time when you want your in
tellect clearest, and your disposition
brightest, you feel a sharp, keen, dis

Perhaps these small insect annoy
ances will come in the shape of do
mestic irritation. The parlor and the
kitchen do not always harmonic. To
get good service, and TO keep it. is one
of the greatest questions Of the coun-
try. Sometimes il may be the AFRO
gancy and inconsiderateness of en-
ployers, but, whatever be the fact, we
ali admit there are these insect annoy
ances winging their way out from the
culinary department. If the grace of
God be not in the heart of the house
keeper, she can not maintain her equi-

and hear the stories of these annoy
ances and say "0h, these home troub-
les are very little things!' They are
small, small as wasps, but they sting.
Martha's nerves were all unstrung
when she rushed in, asking Christ TO
scold Mary, and there are tens OF thou
sands of women who are dying, stung
to death by these pestiferous domestic
annoyances. The Lord sent the
hornet"
These small insect disturbances may
also come in the shape of business irri-
tations. There are men here who went
through 1857 and the cath of Septem-
Der, 1869, without losing their balance,
who are every day endorsed by little
annoyauces-a clerks i'll manners or
a blot Of ink on bill of lading, or the
extravaganza of a partner who over
draws his account, or the underselling
by business rival, or the whispering
of store condolences in the street, or
the making of some little bad debt
which was against your judgment, just
to please somebody else.
II is not the panics that kill the
merchants Panics come only once in
ten or twenty years. 1t is the constant
din of these everyday annoyances
which is sending so many of orr best
