Show The Bright Side tr Misfortune. j There is a woman in Bellevue hospital who, though sick of a remarkable difficulty, diffi-culty, is having a first rate time. She doesn't suffer any pain at all. Her right eye is paralyzed, also the right side of her mouth, the rluhl side of her tongue and the entire right side of everything, yet she sleeps well, eats well and enjoys being an object of interest. Having only one-half of her senses, she very wisely devotes ail ' that remain to her in sensing only the pleasant things of existence. She sees things only out of her smiling eye; doesn't, smell anything that she doesn't want to smell; only tastes, of what is good, carefully care-fully putting obnoxious medicines over on tho right side of her mouth, where there isn't any taste. It must be quite charming to have this power of discrimination and separation. Think what a comfort a blind spot in one's eye may be, and then fancy the joy of being able to shut off half of oub'b whole being so that it will be dead to the disagreeable things in life.
