Perhaps these small insect annoy
ances will come ia the shape of do
mestic irritation. The parlor and the
kitchen do not always harmonic. To
get good service, and to keep 1t, is one
of the greatest questions Of the coun-
try. Sometimes it may be the AFRO
gancy and inconsiderateness of EN-.
ployers, but, whatever be the fact we
all 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-
librium. The men come home at night
and hear the stories of these annoy
ances and say "Oh, these home troub-
les are very little thingsr' 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
annoyances-a clerks i'll manners. or
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 some body else.
IL is not the panics that kill the
merchants Panics come only once in
ten or twenty years. It is the constant
din of these everyday annoyances
which is sending so many of cur best
merchants into nervous dyspepsia and
paralysis and the grave. When our
national commerce fell fat on it's face
these men stood up and felt almost de-
fiant; but their life is going away now
under the swarm of these pestiferous
annoyances. The Lord sent the

have noticed in the history of some
that their annoyances are multiplying,
and that theyhavea hundredwhere they
used TO have ten. The naturalist tells
us that wasp sometimes has family
of 90, 900 wasps, and IL does seem as ii
every annoyance of your life brooded
a million. BY the help of God want
to show you the other side. The hornet
is of no use? Oh, yesl The naturalist
tells us they are very important in the
worlds economy; they Kill spiders, and
they clear the atmosphere; and real
" believe God sends the annoyances
of our life upon us to kill the spiders
Of the soul and to clear the asmosphere
OF our souls.
These annoyances are sent on us,
think, to wake us up from onr lcth-

man so lively as nest of yellow jack
