The Art of Not Hearing.

The art of not hearing should be
learned by all. There are so MANY
things which it Is painful to hear
very many which, if heard, will dis.
turb the temper, corrupt simplicity
and modesty, detract from con.
tentment and happiness. If a man
falls into a violent passion and calls
all manner of names, at the first
words we should shut our ears and
hear no more. If in a quiet voy-
age of life we find ourselves caught
in one Of those domestic whirlwinds
OF scolding, we should shut our ears
as a sal or would furl his sail, and,
making all tight, scud before the
gale. If q hot, restless man begins
to inflame our feeling, we should
