Hanpiness.

Many people go through life dissat- isfied and unhappy because they do not have what their neighbors have. They allow themselves to be constantly net tied by comparing themselves with oth- CTS better off.
 Now, about as poor business as one can engage in is to go through life with one's eyes so fixed upon what others have that he cannot enjoy his own.
 Everywhere we see prosperous peo- pie who are making a great deal of money, and yet they are dissatisfied, discontended, unhappy, restless. They rove about from place to place, trying to find pleasure in this thing or that, but always disappointed. They think if they could only get somewhere else than where they are, do something else than what they are doing, if they could only go abroad. travel over different countries in touring car or in an auto mobile, they would be happy. Their eyes are always focused upon some thing in dreamland instead of some thing in the land of reality.
 They mistake the very nature of hap piness. They put the emphasis on the wrong things.
 The secret of happiness Is not in your fortune, but in your heart. It does not consist of having, but in being. 1t is a condition of mind.-Success Magazine.

cRoMWELL's BODY.
Conflicting Stories as to Its Disposi.
 tion After Death.

tion After Death.
 What became of Cromwell?" The question is a vexed one. According to an ancient tradition Cromwelps body was conveyed away immediately after his death in obedience to his last or ders and was buried on Naseby field, where be had obtained the greatest victory and glory" According to an- other account, Mary, Lady Faucon- berg, Cromwells daughter, was able to convey the body away from its grave in the abbey and to have it bur jed in her husbands house of New burg, in Yorkshire, where the tomb, an impenetrable marble one, is still shown. Another corpse was substitut- ed for Cromwell's in the abbey, and it was this nameless corpse which under went the indignities put upon it in January, 1861, when the putative body was hanged on the gallows at Tyburn. together with Ireton's and Bradshaw's, while the head was set up on a pole above Westminster hall.
 This head, still transfixed by a spike which was let through the cranium by means of a specially drilled hole, is BOW in the possession of Horace Will kinson of Sevenoaks. It is the head. curiously enough. of some one whose body has probably been embalmed, for the top of the skull has been sawed off in order, presumably. to admit of the removal of the brains. The body to which this head belonged was buried under the galloWS of Tyburn, unless, which is probable. the Fauconbergs obtained the body there and carried it Off-LIondon Lancet.

The Way of Heather.

Where Sonnerbo township touches the boundaries of Halland there is a sandy heath which is so farreaching that he who atands upon one edge of 1t cannot look across to the other Nothing except heather grows on the heath, and it wouldn't be easy to coax other growths to thrive there. To start with, one would have to uproot the heather, for it is thus with heather: Although 1t has only little shrunken root, small shrunken branches and dry, shrunken leaves, 1t fancies that it's tree. Therefore 1t acts just like real trees-spreads itself out in forest fashion over wide areas, holds together faithfully and causes all foreign growths that wish to crowd in upon its territory to die out.-"AdventuWes of Nils," Translated From the Swedish of Selma LagerlOf by Velma Swan ston Howard.

 I do not think that any of you are ignorant, my friends, that the greatest wars have taken place on account of women-the Trojan war on account of Helen, the plague which took place in 1t was on account of Chryseis and the war called the sacred war on account of Theano. This war lasted ten years. The Crissaean war, which also lasted ten years. was excited on this account because the Crissaeans carried off Megisto. the daughter of Pelagon, and the daughters of the Argives as they were returning from the temple.
 And whole families have been ruin- ed owing to women. For instance, that of Philip, the father of Alexander, was ruined on account of his marriage with Cleopatra, and Hercules was ruined by his marriage with e.-Athenaeu;, A. D. 300
