There are some moments in our fate
That stamp the colour of our days,
As, till then, life had not been felt.

HE origin of Blue Monday, we
are told, dates back to an old
Bavarian custom of decorating
the churches in blue, on the Monday
before Lent.

Nowadays, any, or every Monday
may be a Blue Monday-when the soul
is so enveloped in the "blues," that life
can only be viewed "through a glass
darkly." A specific remedy for each of
these blue-letter days is hereinafter pre-
sented.

[F, HOWEVER, I can by a lucky chance, in these days of evil, rub out

I

one wrinkle from the brow of care, or beguile the heavy heart of one moment of sadness; if I can, now and then, penetrate the gathering film of misanthropy, prompt a benevolent view of human nature, and make my reader more in good humour with his fellow-beings and himself, surely, surely I shall not have

written in vain.

Butte thankful bee for blessings of to-day,
And pray that thou mayest blessed bee to-morrowe,
So shalt thou goe with joy upon thy way.
