Aunuls of a Quiet Nelshborlgod," ete, 2D. Tothwop & Coe ‘e sisi In “Donal Grant” Dr. Macdonald gives us a story In the true Radcliffean vein, abounding in haunted castles, ridden chambers, Scotch super- stitions and mysticisms,'and horrors generally. The hero is a youvg christian shepherd, of good education and good morals, who wanders off and earns his yng by. becoming tutor in the castle of the Earl of Morven,—whose fit abode would -haye been a mad house,—and where he is thrown in contact with the Earl's neice, a dreamy. consclentious and self-accusing young lady. These are, in short, the points of the tale uch social democrats, sald that he found very general, among the working clas: pecially, a vague feeling that France was within a siort distance of a revolution. The united efforts of the Bonapartists, monarchists, and anarchists, it was believed, would result before long in a gen- eral upset. As for the working men themselves, there was a a singular indifference to the form of government. Another widespread feeling among the Parisian ouvriers was that a war with Germany was imminent; they did not exactly know how, but they believed that France would attack her former conqueror and be soundly beaten. A curiously fatalistic feeling prevailed among them, which could neither be accounted ror nor ex- plained away. Some alarming articles are just now appearing in the German press with regard tothe prospect of war with France; and no one who reflects on the relations between the Ger- man press and the government will fail to recoz- nize thelr importance. The worst is that which the Cologne Gazette, one ot the most Influential | are those which favor felicity. When the ex- essing spring months has been removed by the warmth of a genial summer and autumn, the time ts most favorable for serenity of mind. On the other hand the exhaustion ot winter and spring induces depression, and is no donbt the cause of that melancholy which renders the months of spring the maximum periods of deaths by suicide. Parity of the atmosphere is an unquestionable ald to felicity. Thecomparison of children Mying under differing cireumstances Is sufficient proof | of this fact. The children of an open, well-ven- tilated school-room, how different are they from | those who areimmured in some of the close, oyer- packed dens which are called school-rooms. Compare the felicity of the children of the well to do who live out of doors, and even of the children of the fields and open streets, with that of the children of the smail trader, whose back parlor is living-room and play-ground, or the felicity of the man or woman who leads an out-door life with that of those who live in the close office or work-room.

Asa rule, all agents which stim- ulate, that isto say, relax the arterial and so allow the blood a freer course through the organs, fora time promote felicity, but in the reaction leave depression. The alkaloid in tea, theine, has this effect.
