Character i'm a Laugh.

How much of character is there in
laugh! You know no man till you
have heard him laugh-til you know
when and how he will laugh. There
are occasions-there are humors when
a man with whom we have been long
familiar shall quite startle and repei US
by breaking out into a laugh which
comes manifestly right from his heart,
and which yet we never heard before
Even in fair ladies, with whom | have
been much pleased, l have remarked
the same thing. AS in many heart
a sweet angel slumbers unseen till
some happy moment awakens it, so
there sleeps often in gracious and amia.
bic characters, deep in the back ground,

life when something rudely comical
penetrates into the less frequented
