HOW NOT TO WORRY.

I onco asked a physician what cure he could suggest for the worrying habit. " I would prescribe common-sense," he said, " and if a man or woman hasn't got a stock in hand, and cannot cultivate one, the medical man is powerless." This; worrying nonsense grows. The best means to cure it lies in the hands of the woman herself.

If she will just call a little horse sense to her aid, resolve not to borrow trouble, to be cheerful and think upon the right side of things, she will live longer and be able to retain her beauty. Every woman lias tho strongest desire to keep her good looks. Why, then, does she take tho course which is sure to make her yellow-skinned, dull-eyed, and thoroughly unlovely ? The English woman is greatly admired for her utter refusal to worry or to be worried. Consequently she looks young at 50. Undertaking no more than she can comfortably carry out, and firmly believing in the coming of another day, she does not procrastinate, but simply will not let the domestic machinery grind her down to ill-health and an early old age.

She is a frequent bather, and regards health as the prime factor of life, to be looked after before everything else. She sleeps nine hours, and also takes a nap during the day, arranging her work in the most systematic manner. Resolutely build a wall about to-day, live within its enclosure. The past may have been hard, sad, or wrong—it is over. The future may be like the past, but tho woman who worries may not live to-meet it —if she does she will bear it in the same old way.

The only thing with which she should concern herself is to-day, its sunshine, its air, its friends, its frolics, its wholesome work, and perhaps its necessary sorrow. —Philadelphia Beview.
