There ia an old, bat very true laying, iat no people can ba rendered happy by Act of Parliament, and, although social oatomi operate with a despotic authority that no legislative enactment could poasibly command, even the neosetity ot compliance with the customs of th* society in which we live can hardly nnder Chriatmat a eative season in thia climate. Look at it low we will, the fact is evident that, for the average Canadian, Chriitmat oome* al the wrong aaaion of tha year. He ia required to be festive and jocund at the very period when hit mind is moet occupied with the gnat ploblem of waya and means. Be ia called upon to give a seriaa of useless, but nons the lea* expensive, preeent* at a lime when he i* leaet able to afford them, limply becauae it ia Chriatmaa.

Lucky he ia if he doe* nut alto receive notice tha unleet bit taxes, etc., are paid within fifteen days execution will forthwith issue against bis goods and chattels.

Bear; failure, however, ia not he only danger to be apprehended in con- sequence of en^sr.

One day he got into an altercation with one of hi* col- leagues, who contradicted him point blank. Hunter harried into an adjoining room, and whan banly acroaa th* threshold, tell lifelee* to th* floor. It U laid that Dr. Bogdanoviki. a well known surgeon in St. Petersburg, died recently while engaged in an operation. He waa about to amputate the arm ot a patient, and nad already be- gun the operation, when he wa* angered by tbe awkwardness of a itudeat who waa assisting him Hi tpnke to him sharply, and suddenly fell fainting to th* floor.

In truth, at one writer haa Mid, " the heart receiv- ing immediately the shook ot every fit of anger, the life of the peaaiooate man who labors under an affection ot that organ, moat be held in constant uncertainly." If an outburst of anger of any considera- ble intensity does :ol prove fatal, it at least generally n|>sela th* system Ita tffeota upon the appetite an well known , lit a person get iulo a quarrel at the table and he at once lots* all relish for tbe food before him.

Al for the effect* of anger opon th* different aaoretiona, then ia an old theory that the saliva may beoome poison- ous through rage . that moat animals, when goaded to intense anger, inflict a wound which is more irritable and hsala leaa readily than one administered when they arc not excited. That seems very reason able ; it is til speculation, however. Bat the effects of anger on the mother's milk we know positively is exceedingly hurtful.

On certain olaaeea of the retail trade thi Christmas tax falls with unusual force.
