The petty monthly bills of grocer, mitkman, -butcher and landlord sting like’ mosquitoes. The wife caliily receives the unwelcome news of his failure; then hunts up a white stocking, heavy accumulated coin, and pours its clinking contents upon the table. How many dimes rattled out?

Etis one of the most painful things in tbe world to see a child run to hide itself from a thunderstorm, and in nearly all cases where it aoes, some one Has . blundered.

Those children who have been shut up in dark rooms as a punishment, frequently feel thé effects of such punishment till late in life. It is strange how these terrorscling to the, person in after life—become,.as it were, engrafted into them, and so firmly fixed that reason cannot dislodge them.

They shut the sunshine out of their eas and hearts, they wear Veils, they carry parasols, and they do all possible to’keep off the subtlest and yet most potent infiuence which is to give them strength, beauty and cheerfulness. Is it not time to change all of this, and get culor and roses in our pale cheeks, strength in our weak backs, and courage into our timid souls?
