the spirits of these men rose as the
corn gained its green and the face of
nature resumed It's wonted smile.
Now you hear not a word about star
walton and everything is happy and
hopeful. The truth is we are hardly
ever hurt half so bad as we think we
are. We cross the bridge long be-
fore we get to it. We suffer quite as
much as though we realized the real
evil. When you come to think of it
what is the use of repining and COM
planning and g%rumbling, anyhow? If
men managed the weather it would
be different, but the Lord is in con
troll of the elements and u com
plants only make us miserable with
out affording the least relief. Even
if the rain does lot come AMI we see
our crops failing before our eyes, it
is a matter quite beyond our con-
troll, and the only thing we can do is
to submit; and it is a great deal bet
ter to submit with a smile than a
frown. The world is full of borrowed
trouble and it is this which often
bends our backs and breaks our
hearts. If we would husband our
strength and not waste it on imagi-
nary evils we would be very much
stronger to endure the real calanii-
ties which come to us. And every
body about us would be so much hap
pier if we would quit retailing
troubles and woes.-Charity and
