Would You be happy, be up and Doing.
MANY mistake as TO the way to be
happy, in deeming habitnal repose
the source of enjoyment. They sigh
for retil emen from business-tor the
release from the cares and persuIts OF
active life. as if they can never know
what true happiness is Til they have
nothing 10 do. But repose gives
pleasure only when it succeeds abor.
Sweet indeed are ease and rest alter
toll and excitement; but without the
previous experience Of toll and ex
element Of some sort or other, repose
soon degenerates into pain. None
are so restless IS those that always
rest. Him whom sloth casts into her
deepest sleep, depression before long
plunges into her darkest pit. Perpet-
nal pillow-incessant sofa-lt is more
insupportable to man than the thorni-
est seat on which he was ever CON
demned to sit. If you would ind
gloomy c%auntenances and sad hearts,
90 TO those who have nothing either
for mind or for body 10 do-to those
whose only business is Idleness and
luxury. Melancholy is as Insepara-
bic from moiionless man, as ieculence
is from water that is stagnant, CT rust
from iron that is unused. There Gun
be no grosser error, than TO suppose
that to be happy is TO be relaxed;
outstretcheG upor the ground-to be
luIIed bv soothing circumstances into
partial sleep and drowsy pleasure; to
be all supine, and sunk into passive
snhiection to the soft impressions OF
surrounding things. To behapPy is
to be up and doins; it is to be lntens-
" and virtuously busy; it is TO have
the heart as full of object, and the
hand rs full occupation. as each can
hold; it is to be kindled. to be eIeva-
ted, to be quickened into vigorous
life. TO have oil the faculties and al
fections awake and active, and en-
ploycd on their appropriate objects.
This is the way to be happy.

AN OLD SUIT AT LAw.-Complaints
are frequently made Of the laws de-
laws, but this country can show moth
ing Of the kind in suits at law which
will compare with the English Court
of Chancery. A suit has just been
decided there which has been in Chan
cery one hundred and fifty years! A
bankrupt. by the name Of West, was
resisted by his creditors. on the
ground that he had not truly repre-
sented his assets. West had been
employed by DR.. Sayre to receive the
sum of f7O0o out Of the Court of
Chancery. being a part of 100000
paid into that Court, in the year 1898,
belonging 10 a company called the
West New Jersey Society, which
had for its object the expectation of
goods and agricultural implements 10
the then new State of Pennsylvania
in America. The claim had been
prosecuted by the parties interested
ever since that period from n de-
scendant to another down to DIR.
Savre.-West, the bankrupt, was TO
have a compensation of ten per cent.
on the amount recovered, for his SER
vices. and it was stated that he was
ON the eve of recovering 4 large por-
lion Of the claim. The creditors
commended that this was a portion OF
his estate. and that it should come to
them. Commissioner Evans said he
would take time to look at the case,
and give his opinion at n future day.
