The Best Blue Foliage.

Among the conifers Of the highest color

There are several forms Of this in the

Rosters. The color Of the foliage Of this

Don't he TOuchy.

There are some people always look
ing out for sights. They cannot pay
a visit, they cannot receive a friend,
they cannot carry on the intercourse
of the family, without suspecting some
offense is designed. They are terribly
touchy. If they meet an acquaintance
in the street who happens to be pre-
occupied with business, they attribute
his abstraction to some motive per-
sonal to themselves and take umbrage
accordingly. They lay on others the
fault of their irritability. A fit of in
digestion makes them see imperti-
nences in everybody they come in con-
tact with. Innocent persons who new
er dreamed of giving offense are as
tonished to find some unfortunate word
or some momentary taciturnity mis-
taken for insult OF course, such a
mental condition is due to too much
thinking about self and to an exagger-
ated self esteem, even though uncon-
scious. The best remedy is to persist
emily put thoughts of self out of mind.
Find something more absorbing and
more elevating to think about if you
are one of the touchy ones, and you'll
soon lose the habit

A Storm Above the Clouds.

Professor John Wise, the eminent
aeronaut, who lost his life in making
a balloon ascension on Sept. %, 1879,
gave the following description of a
thunderstorm which he once viewed
from the ''top side" 1.-THE view of
stormcloud from above is one of the
most interesting sights ever beheld by
mortal man. A storm viewed from
above the clouds has the appearance
of ebullition. The upper surface of the
cloud is bulged upward and outward
and has the resemblance of vast sea
of boiling, upheaving snow. Immedi-
ately above the stormcloud the air is
not so cold as it is in the clearer at
mOsphere above or in the cloud itself.
The falling of the rain can be distinct
ly heard, making a noise like water
fall over a precipice. The thunder
heard above a storm cloud is not loud.
and the flashes of lightning appear like
streaks of intensely white light on the
surface of the gray colored vapor.'

A Life of Freedom.

People sometimes think how delight
full it would be to be quite free. But
a fish, as Ruskin says, is freer than a
man, and, as for a fly, it is "a black
incarnation of freedom" A life of so
called pleasure and self indulgence is
not life of real happiness or true
freedom. Far from it. If we once be-
gin to give way to ourselves we fall
under most intolerable tyranny. 9th
er temptations are in some respects
like that of drink. At first, perhaps, it
seems delightful. but there is bitter
ness at the bottom of the cup Men
drink to satisfy the desire created by
previous indulgence. So it is in other
things. Repetition soon becomes a
craving, not pleasure. Resistance
grows more and more painful. Yield
ing, which at first, perhaps, afforded
some slight and temporary gratifca-
ton, soon ceases to give pleasure and,
even if for time it procures relief,
ere long becomes odious itself.
