You look III another direction. There
is nothing like ebullitions of temper to
put a man to disadvantage. You, a
man with calm pulses and a fine di-
gestion and perfect health, cannot un-
derstand how anybody should be cap
sized in temper by an ininitestimal
annoyance. You say, 81 couldn't be
unbalanced in that way" Perhaps you
smile at a p%rovocation that makes an
other man swear. You pride yourself
on your imperturbability. You say
with your manner, though you have
too much good taste to say it with
your words: 81 have a great deal
more sense than hat man has. I have
a great deal more equipoise Of temper
than that man has. / never could
make such a puerile exhibition Of my
self as that man has made"
PAID AT LAST.
Let me see. Did you not say that
you could not be tempted to an ebulli-
ton of temper? Some September you
come home from your summer water
ing place, and you have inside away
back in your liver or spleen what we
call in our day malaria, but what the
old folks called chills and fever. You
take Quinine until your ears are first
buzzing beehives and then roaring
Niagaras. You take roots and herbs;
you take everything. You get well.
But the next day you feel uncomforta-
be, and You yawn, and you stretch, and
you shiver, and you consume and you
suffer. Vexed more than you can tell,
you cannot sleep, you cannot eat, you
cannot bear to see any thing that looks

uCl IL III AC lOSIs
SWAYED BY CIRCUMSTANCES.
Again, I have to remark that in our
estimation the misdoing of people who
have fallen from high responsibility
and usefulness we must take into con-
sideration the conjunction of circum-
stances. In nine cases out of ten a
man who goes astray does not intend
any positive wrong. He has trust
funds. He risks a part of these funds
in investments. He says: Now, if I
should lose that investment / have of
my W property five times as much,
and if this investment should go wrong
1 could easily make it up. I could five
times make it up" With that wrong
reasoning he goes on and makes the
investment, and it does not turn out
quite as we'll as he expected, and he
makes another investment, and strange
to say at the same time all his other
affairs get entangled, and all his other
fail, and his hands are tied.
Now he wants to extricate himself. He
goes a little further on in the wrong
investment. He takes a plunge furth-
er ahead. for he wants to w his wife
and children, he wants to save his
home, he wants to ave his member
ship in the church. He takes one more
plunge, and all is lost.
Some morning at 10 o'clock the bank
door is not opened, and there is a card
on the door signed by the officer Of the
bank, indicating there is trouble, and

ments OF success which Is chiefly remarkable for its
absence In the ordinary Italian opera company is
abundant n the Castle Square company and that

listener was asked to accept i:.Ie Of tone for
