BEST WAY TO BE HAPPY.

Never set down and brood over trouble of any
kind. lfyou are vexed with yourself or the world,
this is no way to obtain satisfaction. Find yourself
employment that will keep your mind active, and
depend upon it this will force out unweIcomed
thoughts.
Who are the poor' Are they the industrious =
Those who labor, provided their gains are small,
have generally feeling Of independence with that
little akin to the rich mans treasures.
Who are the unhappy Are they not those who
are inactive, and sit still and tell us, if fortune had
only thrown this and that chance in their way, that
they should have been far happier'
1t seems to me there is great defect in the con-
duct of the unfortunate. five are deprived of or
binary resources instead of looking round and SUBJ
shutting other things, are we not prone to sit down
and mourn what we have lost This deadens the
