1t is uncomfortably true that
there is almost as much distress
of mind in the anticipation as in
the realization. About half of our
unhappy days are ~occassioned by
our looking forward to the unhap-
piness of the other half.
Sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof" We need never
take another jot on credit. In
borrowing trouble natural laws
are reversed; mere mole-hills OF
annoyance become mountains,
when viewed at a distance ahead.
Some persons never take actual
comfort. In transquil times the
dread of a coming change is al
ways in the way of their enjoy

WHY SHE DOESN'T ACCEPT.

In the first case, the young wom-
an says, pathetically:
81 should love to come, but you
see all my clothes are clean, ready
to take on my trip, and | don't dare
to year any of them, for l shouldn't
have time to get them home from
the laundry again before l 60 away"
And in the second case she excuses
herself in this wise:
"I am perfectly wild to come, but
l haven't a decent rag to my back.
Everything l took away with me is
ready for the washtub, and such are
the uncertainties of laundresses that
| do not expect to be able to go about
in white again for two weeks to
come"
That is to say, these r the frank
excuses she will proffer if you are
on intimate terms with her. And if
you are not so intimate as to war;
rant such open confidence, this is
written that you may know the real
truth. III.

STORED

Some writer has given us
thought. In the seasoned hrewood
put away for winter use is stored
our sunshine for the dark days
that are coming. When sombre
clouds hide the sunlight of heaven
from us, and the cold wind sweep
the landscape that is drear and
naked, it is to our firesides we
turn for warmth and light. Dur
ing the glorious summertime we
should not forget the dark days
that are coming, nor neglect to
provide for use ''stored sunshine"
in dry and seasoned firewood.
When Jul lives are bright and
prosperous, let US think of the
dark days that must come, and in
the storehouse of memory treas
ure some of the sunshine that now
surrounds us, to cheer the days
that are without it's warmth.
Thoughts of the happy past with
its love and pleasure, will drive
the gloom from hours that other
wise will be dark, for, "The mem
DRY of things precious keepeth
warn the heart that once did hold
them" When
1.-THE melancholy days are como
The saddest OF the year"
and all is gray and dismal out-of-
doors, let the home sunshine be
brightest, and the contrast be-
tween the inner and outer world
as pleasing as possible. Let the
"stored sunshine of our 6rewood
that leaps %cheerfully up the chin
ney, be augmented out of the sup
erabundance that has been given
US in the summertime of life.
Though the days may be dark,
either from laden clouds or, the
shadow of sorrow, we may dispel
the gloom by stored sunshine, ii
we are as wise as Nature.

ders selhshness and badness.
Despotism in the family is the
most common and worst in
all tho earth. Family govern
ment 'is not parental tyranny.
Government is good. loving,
cordial, helpful, joyous; its
yoke easy, it's burden light; but
parental tyrany is harsh, ~exacting

If we take things az they come,
we shall usually find that they
come much better than we have
any right to expect. Our antici-
patory flag may have been invit-
ing compassion, and finging
patches of darkness over many a
bright scene for months, only to
find that we have been guilty of
necdlessly, we might say criminal
ly, robbing ourselves and others
of the happiness rightfully be-
longing to US and to them.

times only another name for
selfshness; for the one borrowing

our heart, which grows with what
it feeds upon. 1t is sinful, for it
