In forty years his daily tramps are said
to have aggregated one hundred and forty

himself a theory that to every portion of
the day given to intellectual labor should
correspond an equal number of hours
pent in walking. Carlyle usually took
.vigorous tramp of several miles, enough
to put him in a glow before he com

nearly half a buadred Italians men,

vocueroueiy welcoming and praising a
tall, Mender young man, who stood laugh

be eeen extending from her temple to her
Chin a broad scar, whose edges, draws
together, made a line pf hideous wrinkles.
Bo near to the eye ran the scar that tho
lower lid was drawn down, giving an
ugly leering expression In awful contrast
to the beauty of the other cheek.
The story of the couple was this. They
bad loved and wanted to marry, but tho
girl's father, a fishermaa near Naples,
had promised her to Francisco, a richer
man. At last in despair she begged her
lover to disfigure her face. lie refused.

again for her own disfigurement She
hated her own beauty because it stood
between herself and her own happiness.
At but, in a wild fit of desperation, Au

broad sweep of the blade gashed the
lovely face from temple to chin.
As they suspected, Francisco refused
to marry a girl so disfigured, but Augus

years in prison, and his marriage seemed
as far off as before. All the time he
was in prison, Oiuaeppine worked and
saved, and when the three years had
expired she met her lover at the prison
gate, and, putting all her little savings in
his hands, bade him go to America and
earn enough to seud for her. He refused,
unless she married him before he left

city they met a wandering padre, who
made them man and wife.

What a blessed thing it is that we can
forget! To-day's troubles look large, but
a week hence they will be forgotten and
buried out of sight 8ays one writer:
"If you would keep a book and daily put
down the tilings that worry you, and see
what becomes of them, it would bo a
benefit to you. Tou allow a thing to an
noy you, just as you allow a fly to settle
on you and plague you ; and you loss your
temper (or rather get it); for when men
are surcharged with temper they are said
to have lost it; and you justify your
eel tos for being throws off your balance
by causes which you do not trace out
But if you could see what it was that
threw you off your balance before break
fast, and put it down in a little book, and
follow it up, and follow it out, and as
certain what becomes of it, you would
ses what a fool you were in the matter. "
The art of forgetting is a blessed art, but
the art of overlooking is quite as impor
tant And if we should take time to
write down the origin, progress, and out
come of a few of our troubles, it would
make us so ashamed of the fuss we make
over thera, that we should be glad to
drop such things and bury them at once
in eternal forgetfulness. Life is too
short to be worn out in petty worries,
frettings, hatreds, and vexations.

those pleasant little editorial episodes in
which indignant readers find no other

him as to whether he wants to be an an

to send him to that bourns (on a dead-head
