SMALL ANNOYANCES.—It had been said by & cynical writer that the feeling aman experi- ences on hearing of the misfortune of another is a pleasurable one. He is giad that he him- self wes not the sufferer. Be this asit may, it is pretty certain that the suspicion—would it be too much to say the hope*—that our neigh- bors are notexempt from “eating cares” enables us to bear Our Own troubles with more equan- imity than if we sorrowed solus. It is a sad thing to be morbiddy irritable, tor this is an ir- ritable world, and the man who is thin-skin- ned is sure to have his tender moral epidermis rubbed down with sand-paper every hour in the day. The moment society findsoutthat a particular individual is sensitive and easily annoyed, it begins to bait him, just as reckless boys pester & staggering drunkard in the street. if be bas an especially sore spot, that cannot be abraded without cansing him exquisite pain, hisacquaintances are sure to find out and to “touch him on the raw” as frequently as pos- sible. People who fretand fume over every pretty grievance, whotake harmless jokes as insults, and are continually groaning and wor- ry ing over fancied wrongs or trifling disap- pointments, are freat nuisances. There is but one cure for them that we know of, and that is real calamity. We once knew @ chronic grombler who was entirely cured bya com- pound fractare of the thigh. It is possible, on the other hand, to be too “good natured.” Your very acquiescent +O, yes—certainly” sort often agree to much that it is their duty to op- pose. A temper that is neither touchy enough 1o be disturbed by trivial cause, nor so yielding as to be incapable of negation, 18 an unspeaka- bie blessing. EcoxomicaL WICKING.—A writer says: In the present high price of kerosene lamp wicks, people can make a better wick than they can buy by taking cotton fiannel, of which allhave pieces, and folding it up three thicknesses, just wide eneogh to go into the tube, and catching the edges with coarse stitches. The wick will burn well, and can always be easily rolled up and down.
