for fortitude when put to the supreme
test; the little worries inspire none
of these, but in reality fret and harass
and wear away even the stoutest
spirit.
However, where is the woman who
would exchange her set of little wor-
ries for one great trouble? Not one,
that is a certainty. For when death
comes near we clasp all our worries
close, close to our hearts and wave
away the dread intruder. Compensa-
ton is very wonderful reality, a
strange law which enables even the
most miserable to endure, and aff1iCts
those who should be happy with i'm
aginary woe; and our cup of suffering
may seem full, but it would yet hold
another bitter drop. and somehow we
would endure it; on the other hand,
be we highly favored by fortune and
friends, there is ever the crumpled
rose leaf to disturb our slumber. Thus
does nature, or fate, or whatever we
choose to name the seemingly blind

her husband should be treated She
needs a capability of looking on the
bright side Of life, and refusing to
be worried by small things. She needs
a secure grasp of such subjects as are
of interest to men, and should not be
above studying even politics in order
to understand, should her husband
speak of them. She needs a sympa-
thetic nature in order that, should sor-
row fall upon them. she may be able
to give comfort TO her husband. She
needs to understand something Of sick
nursing; wife with no notion Of what
TO do in cases of illness is but a use

AS soon as Mr.. Smith had appeased
the rage of hunger, the Squire came back
calmly to talk with him. Mr. Oglander
had passed the bitterest hour of his long
life yet; filled at every turn of thought
WITH yearning to break down and weep.
Sometimes his mind was so confused that
he did not know how old he was, but
seemed to be in the long past days, with
his loving wife upon his orm, and their
Oracle toddling in front of them. He
spoke to them both as he used to do, and
speaking cleared his thoughts again; and
he shook away the dreamy joy In the

Big Troubles or Small Worries.

1t is always very easy to philoso-
phize about other folks troubles. Very
easy, indeed, for US to utter words Of
sympathy and to point out to them
that in the future lies some mysterious
balm to salye the hurt; and while, of
course, the kindness which prompts
the word to be valued, the advice it,
self is absolutely useless to the strick-
en- one. For when a great grief lays
hold upon us we are like one be-
numbed; and friends and counselors-
yea, religion itself-are like the sound
Of far-off sea which falls on our I'M
needing ear like the dreamy murmur
of a seashell So it is when a great
trouble comes to us; it possesses the
citadel of the mind and rules supreme;
and despair and tears and sobs are the
unavailing tributes we lay before the
memorable monster.
The days go by, and, stunned as we
are, we do not note them; but after
a while, even as our friends fore
told, we awake to find that somehow
the wound has healed over and does
not hurt quite so throbbingly. But the
little worries of life, those circum-
stances in which no change occurs,
but which are always with us; the hui
initiating poverty, the semi-invalidisIn,
the tasks and care or inadequate house
keeping facilities, the disappointment
in the physical, mental or moral equip
ment of our children-here are some
of the aggravating little things which
are so hard to be borne. And with
these come none of the numbness
which is so merciful; none of the ex-
element of grief, which ofttimes
arouses the resentful spirit, so that
