BY ONE OF THEM. Perhaps, indeed, as a rule, we suffer .HOI'C for our follies than'for our sins, and often the Nemesis which follows thcformer is a more severe torturer than that which punishes the latter. Those unwise letters that we, have written l—those rash confesssions !—— those silly speeches I—the corns we Rave so heedlessly trodden on and the min we have so thoughtlessly given !—'- No country home can be truly ideal unless it is well screened—translate this any way you choose. The youth who whistles constantly may be a sort of embodied sunbeam, but he is a horrible nuisance also. \Vhy is it that even the most sensible of us have a Wild desire to see profes- sional people, off the stage ‘3 Hours become days, and days hours, according as we are away from or with the one who constitutes the world for us. It is' well to have a good opinion of one’s self, but too high a one most fre- quently results in a catastrophe for the individual unduly inflated. One can be far more lonely in a crowd where not one single heart beats in sympathy than when perfectly isolated, yet secure in the knowledge that some on does care for her. Is there anything more irritating than a dining table that wobbles? This does not intend to suggest the motion that comes from too copious libations, but the actual wavering due to furni- ture invalidiSm. The fiendish delight that the driver of the street sprinkler takes in spatter- ing your best frock is only second to the joy of the motorman when he can cause you to bounce into a car as though suddenly shot from a cannon. —~————<o.o>——-—-— Magnificent New Equipment for the Pennsylvania Railroad’s Congressional ' Limited. ‘ The Congressional Limited of the PennsylvaniaRaiiroad run ning between New York and Washington has just been equipped with entirely new cars of regal appointments.

Nemesis track‘s us in our children. We bring them up badly, and they punish us by their ill-conduct, either bringing, disgrace on the family name or Sorr0w to. themselves, or sorrow with futile regret to the parents by their undutifulness. ,. The indulgent parents, who allow. their young ones a free hand from the beginning—who check no faults, lower n0 crests, punish no mis eeds—reap their reward in the neglect, and insol- ence of their children, who, never hav- ing been taught self-control, have nev‘ er learned it, and are now quite unable to bend their necks to the yoke of dis‘ cipline.
