TOWN OF THE FLAT WHEEL.

There was once a town in region fair. And built in the midst of a desert there Surrounded by hills that were rich
 with gold, And peopled by hardy pioneers, bold; The lands were watered by river Salt, And known as a Mecca by lame and halt; In verdure and richness vast never passed Avowed all the sages 'twould ever last. And a name was desired for this won drOuS town, A name beftting it's great renown. Located in the land of the builders mounds. And forever outgrowing it's original bounds, It could only be called for that myth ic bird, T1hieh sprang out of ashes, as all have heard. 4 But to Phoenixbird town once an evil came, 4 wolf in sheep's clothing (accurst his name) Was plotting and planning to cause a strife A street car I'm sure will blast it's life" So he builded a line on, a street of worth, With fattened car wheels that jaIred the earth. Then he laughed and danced in his gkplish glee, AAOth and destruction he then
 |ddess of sleep spread her and few, And Morpheus no more could the citizens WOO. But the wheels ever bumped and rat tied and thumped. $nd the people Swore till their backs
 were humped. But the wheels clattered on and
 pounded and raked. Until the earth in her sympathy
 quaked, Till the rivers were drained and the fields were dry, And the lands were covered with al
 kali, And the people were -smothered and
 went to-we1l, They left the land where they used
 to dwell. And the man who had wrought this
 awful wrong? When they went to perdition they
 took him along. And Uo,rcd if thau fnI1n6 Onn Sy1fflc-
 iently hot, They'd be sure to see that was the
 seat he got. Good people take warming, the moral
 is plain, Never let such dreadful thing hap
 pen again. G. M. l..

THE FRETFUL HABIT.
Acquired by Those Who Suffer from
Imaginary Wrongs.

A great many conscientious and en-
cellent women of middle age fall into
the fretful habit. They are naturally
OF timid, nervous temperament. and
the Universities of the world. through
which every one suffers in greater OF
lesser degree. have made them appre.
hensive for the future. 1t is very easy
for such person to establish the wor.
rying habit, and it is not easy when it is
once established to conquer it. 1t is
very selfish practice. which DESTROYS
more etfectually than almost any other
habit the peace of mind of those per-
sons who are compelled to dwell with
the fretting one.
1t has been repeatedly and truthfully
said that more persons suffer from
imaginary wrongs than real ones, and
IT is equally true that women wear out
their nerves and hearts, and finally die
worrying more over troubles that never
come than over legitimate grief. There
are vast number of people in the
world who seem destined by the good
Lord to live like the sparrows, from
day to day, grateful for the food and
shelter of the time, and without power
to look far into the future. The only
rule for such people and the only rule
for every one is to trust the future to
the God who alone controls the future.
Fretting and worrying is direct dis
obedience of the Christian command
20 take no thought for the morrow"
This clearly means we are to take no
anxious thought. We are to do our
duty day by day, and consider the "eviI
OF the day" as it comes. without adding
burdens 70 the future which will unfit
rs for the necessary work which we are
given to DO. How many a woman has
brought confusion and misfortune ON
herself and family by failure to remem-
Der that the evils of the day are suffi-
Gent for her to consider. Worn out
and heart-broken over prospective
trouble, she has failed to do the work
that was given her to do, and real mis-
fortune followed.
Sympathy is of very little value to
fretful person. 1t usually increases the
trouble. The only remedy for fretting
lies in the will of the individual. who
must sternly resolve to trust the prob
lens of the world and of her own life
to Heaven, and humbly and quietly do
her work day by day. A little careful
repression of the impulse. to look on the
dark side will some time work won
ders on a fretful person.
Sometimes the health is seriously at
fault, for melancholia is recognized as
a disease. In such case a change of
scene, If possible, and cheerful COM
panions, will often drive away the
"dusky shades" Even in such a case
the mind has power at the beginning
to conquer the tendency to worry, and
every effort should be made to arouse
the sufferer to the necessity of looking
on the bright side of life.-N. Y. Trib-
une.
