Some Evening Reveries.

occasioned by our looking forward to
the unhappiness of the other half.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof" We need never take anoth-
er 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 tranquil times the dread
of a coming change is always in the
way Of their enjoyment.
IF we tax ke things as they come, we
shall usually find that they come
much better than we have any right
to expect. Our anticipatory flag may
have been inviting compassion, and
finging patches of darkness over
many a bright scene for months, only
to find that we have been guilty of
needlessly, We might say criminally,
robbing ourselves and others of the
happiness rightfully belongingfto US
and to them.
Borrowing trouble is sometimes
only another name for selfshness; for
the one borrowing trouble is seldom
satisfied. unless all within his or her
influence are invelgled into the tolls.
1t is holding a dangerous serpent in
our heart, which grows with what it
feeds upon. 1t is sinful, for it is an
abiding distrust of Gods goodness.
XXX
Toward the cheerful home the chill
dren gather ''as clouds and as doves
to their Windows" while from the
h ONE which is the abode of discomfort,
strife and trouble, they fly forth as
vultures to rend their prey.g The
class of men who disturb and distress
the world, are not those born and
nurtured amid the hallowed influence
of christian homes, but rather those
whose earthly life has been scene of
trouble and vexation-who have
started wrong in the pilgrimage, and
whose course is one of disaster to them
selves and trouble to those around
them.
Boys, when you speak Of your father
don't call him "the old man." Of
course you are older now than when
you were taught to call him father.
You are much smarter than you were
then, you are much more manly look
ing, your clothes fit you better, your
hat has modern shape and your
hair is combed differently, is short
"fyer" than you were then. Your
father has a last years coat, two
year-old hat and vest of still older
pattern. He can't write such an ele-
giant note as you can and all that,
but don't call him "the old man."
Call him father. For years he has
been rustling around to get things to-
gether, he has been held to the thorny
path of uphill industry, and the
brightest half of his life has gone from
him forever. But he loves you though
be goes along without saying it, there
fore, be not so ungrateful or so incon-
siderate. Is
GA wise man maketh good father"

A single bitter word may disquiet an
entire family for whole day. One
Iurly glance casts gloom over the
while a smile, like q gem I.
If sunshine, may light up the darkest
md weariest hours. Like unexpected
lowers which spring up along our +
path, full of freshness, fragrance and
beauty, do kind words and gentle acts 6
md sweet dispositions make glad the t
