I ` But take it for granted that what- ever your cause for-worry at night it i will look smaller by daylight and re- fuse to dwell on it. It your anticipn- ` tions are pleasant, nurse them, and ; you will fall asleep. In the morning? you will not be downcast because your { magnied hopes of the night` seem un- 1 likely to be realized. i "You nd yourself awake in the night, and your thoughts wander back to some time in your youth when in the presence of those older and wiser yon-as you now see it--were guilty or some slight breach in deportment or of some little offense to good taste in speech, and you dwell upon the con- demnation that must have fallen upon you. In the morning if what you were dwelling upon so seriously occurs to your mind at all you smile and say to yourself that it your fault was noticed by anybody at the time it was too trivial for any one but you to remem- ber. The night'magnies! the physician repeated. "Such things as I have men- tioned prove it. It is partly due to the silence, but more to ourselves. To ac- count for the latter would keep me talking.

"Take another instance: You think you know how to r write-a little. A smile of gratication. Well, you nd yourself awake lat night and thinking. A gem of an idea suddenly sparkles in the darkness. You surround it with epigrams, and .while elaborating the setting you fall a asleep. What does this jewel amount 1 to in the` morning? A sigh. There you are. You recall the idea and some of the epigrams and a little of the setting and all of it so common- place that you wouldn't think or try- ing to make anything presentable out of it.

In the morning the mercury indicat- led 14 degrees below zero with a `strong East wind. which kept in- creasing in power through the day, at noon the temperature rose toi zero, but dropped to 8 below zero in the evening, the wind increasing to a perfect hurricane until midnight. Many that were on the Penetang road arrived in the village and were compelled, although in some in- stances only a mile or two from their homes, to remain all night at the hotel. Messrs, F, Robinson of Apto and A. J. Baxter had a trying experience in the storm in the even- ing. During the day they had been drawing logs to the saw mill and on returning to Mr. Baxter"s home they encountered an immense snow drift which had accumulated in the gate way during their absence. They at- tempted to put the teams through, but the horses got down and assist- ance from the village was required to dig them out. The men were more or less frost bitten in extracting the horses. Two children of Mr. Young- er and ach ild of Mr. `S, Cathcart had their hands and feet slightly `frozen returning home from school, + ' "" " ""D ' I'\J" I Mr. Albert Crawford arrived home} Tuesday evening after spending the winter thus far at Seguin Falls. 1| at I 1`:
