BETTER LAUGH THAN cRY--So say we.
There's no use in rubbing ones eyes and
blubberlng over all "the ills that flesh Ia heir

or is kindred, are scandalous locking .ahairs.
The best way il TO s'stand mp to the rack,'
and take good and evil as they come along,
without ~repining; and always cheering your
self with that philosophical ejaculation, "bet-
ter luck next timel' lie dame fortune % shy

laugh her in the face. The bappiest fellow

no consequence any how. and never buttered
a plcre Of bread or furnished a man q clean

Upright blue eyes and auburn hair!"
Then hank your stars, that you have escaped

Take our advice under all circumstances;

There's philosophy, and religion too, in laugh
