A Well Balanced Mind.

In the nature of human beings, there
are many sides. The serene, the SUBJ
lime, the ridiculous, and a mind that
leans toward any of these to all alb
normal degree is not we'll balanced: as
too much sadness brings on chronic
m%elancholia, while too much iollity
makes sacred things appear to the
mind in a light that is incongrous to
the real truth OF religion. A mind
we'll balanced enjoyes a picture of life
that portrays all sides of human ma
ture in its variations as they occur in
our daily lives.
That truth is stranger than fiction
is not true, to the author who under
stands humanity, there is no fiction,
because he writes of human nature as
he sees it although the incidents NAV
be drawn from his Imagination, the
emotions portrayed though the Incl
dents are plain truths Such is Sarah
B%ernhardt's play. IA Woman of
Mystery" which Miss Courtenay Nor
gan will play. This play does not
only portray the sad incidents but
gives a real picture of humanity going
from the sublime to the gayer things

to obtain the pence necessary to buy
food At last he yielded to despair,
and having for some days saved up
all he could earn, he devoted it to the

this he retired at night to his haunt,

the following incident occurred: He
had already taken half the fatal draft
when he felt q hand upon his arm and
looking up, saw one whom he recog-
