In spite of the widespread use of mirrors, it is an astonishing fact that none of us have ever seen ourselves as others see us. In the firat place, the reflection in the mirror does not protray our likeness with any attempt at accuracy. The hair is wrong in tone, the eyes are not correct in color, and our complexions are hopelessly libelled by this specious household deceiver. Secondly, you cannot assume your natural expression while peering in the looking - glass. The eye must be in a certain position before you can see it at all, and the eye, so far es expression is concerned, governs the face. The consequence is that yeti earl see only one of your expressions in the glass, and that expression is one of attentive ex- amination. All the other expressions by which your friends know you, favorable or unfavorable, you have never seen rind prob- ably never will see.

'The "touchy' .pers m is the intense ego- tist, who always thinks that what is said or done is so ordered with special intent- to hurt or , humiliate him. Yet he never be- lieves himself' egotistical. Oh no ! He "is of a sensitive nature, which feels keenly the smalleet slight of unkindness." This sort of an egotistical person is, of all kinds, the most unhappy. He is vain with- out being proud, and self-absoriled without being self-reliant. If he hada little higher opinion of himself, he would not feel him- self an object for the ridicule and abuse he constantly attributes to his friends. If he relied more upon his own nature for com- munism and help, he would not le so con- tinually ruffled by a, lack of interest and support from his friends. If he is in a crowd, he feels that the crowd has collected for the express purpose of shoving him about. If he is alone, he knows that be has been left so with special intent to insult and mortify him. He is filled, in fact, with an uneasy con- sciousness of himself, without having risen high enough to feel himself an individual being, complete in himself, and capable of existing apart from the opinions and actions of others. - Township tint., who became so ill with nervous troubles that, to qu ther, Mr. .Dqmald McRae, a w sident of that Illustrious sec Ontario: "My sister bad not for over three months.

T. R. F. CASE & co. Without Leaving a Will. A somewhat amusing incident is told of a woman whose husband, a wealthy man, died suddenly without leaving a will. The widow, desirous of securing the whole of the property, concealed her husband'edeath, and persuaded a poor shoemaker to take his place while a will could be made. Accord- ingly he -was closely muffled in bed, as if very sick, and the lawyer was called in to write the will. The shoemaker, in a feeble voice, bequeathed. "What shall. be 'done with the remainder ?" asked the lawyer. "The remainder," replied he, "1 give and bequeath to the poor little shoemaker across the street, who has always been a good neighbor and a deserving maa,"thus securing a rieh bequest for himself.The widew was thunderstruck with the man's audacious cunning, but did not dare to expose the fraud, and so the two enguee shared the estate. The Locomotive Whistle. It is said that the locomotive whistle was -invented because of the destruction of a load of eggs. When locomotives were first 'built the country roads were for the most part crossed at grade, and the engine driver had no way of givingwarning of his ap- proach, except by blowing a tin horn.
