Compensation Though the roses in me garden Waft a fragrant breath to ire, Still the rose I long to gather Is the rose I may not see. Though the thrushes in my treetops Trill a chorus sweet and clear, Still the song for which I hunger Is the song I may not hear. Though the joys my heart yet houses Bring me solace warm and deep, Still the joy I fain would shelter Is the joy I might not keep.

Things to Ignore So many things do not matter. Innumerable things that we worry over or fret and strive for really do not matter in the least, and we worry and fret and strive for them merely from a stupid sort of habit. There are three classes of things that do not matter. First, that vast array of trivialities that seem so painfully important when one us tired or nervous ; the little irritating things of daily life ; the way a cupboard door is left open, a noise that is made with a chair, and so on ; but if we really stopped to think we would see instantly that they are of no consequence whatever, and the sooner we learn to drop the curtain. of our over them, Perceptions the more quickly we will reduce the wear and tear of our daily life. Then there is the class of things that do not matter because they are none of our business. And the third class of things that do not matter so far as we are concerned is composed of those things like rain, wind, time, which cannot be changed nor Prevented.

He was walking one night terrace of the Parliament on the Buildings. An important debate was on in the House of Commons, and an eager friend of Ireland went to seek eoonnell. He found him walking up and down saying the Rosary and intimated pretty strongly. that he ought to be in the House doing something for Ireland. " Perhaps I am doing more for Ireland just now than von think," was O'Connell's reply.
Thankfulness If there is an., one accomplishment worth learning, it is how to be thankful and how to keep so. Any one can be thankful when there is some overwhelming and obvious reason for Joy, but how to accept the joys of every day in a thankful spirit is the great thing. There are a number of mottoes about joy which people often buy and hang up and contemplate without in the least removing the habitual droop from their mouth. You will sometimes find " Be glad you are alive " ee a framed motto on the desk of one of the most joyless, morbid, and thankless of men, and scores of women will sit down and worry under the shadow of a frame containing the motto, " Footpath of Peace." Thankfulness is not expressed out of mottoes or out of oneself ; it comes from losing oneself in 'daily living, and meeting each small mercy with a thankful heart. The secret is to be ready for the occasions of joy, no matter how small, ae they come alone. They alwa a do.
The difference between happiness and wisdom is, that the man who thinks himself most happy is so, while he who believes himself most wise is general] the reverse.
In nobility of spirit high courage, magnanimity and gallantry there dwells chivalry. Exercise it wherever a child can be helped, wherever a stranger can be guided or a friend who is shy set at ease, whera weak brother can he saved ever from falling and shame, wherever an old man's steps can be made easy, wherever a servant's position can be dignified in his eyes is the chance for chivalry to show itself. Deal very gently with those who are on the downhill of life. Your own time is coming to be where they now are. You, too, are "stepping forward." Soothe the restlessness of age by amusement, be consideration, by non-interference, and by, allowing plenty of occupation to fall into the hands that long for it. But let it be of their own choosing, and cease to order their ways for them as though they were children. Cultivate the great art of leaving People alone, even those you think ou have a right to direct in the
minutest particular.
