Of the Governor Of that State, do not seem to

Slavery is the great element Of a State pros

it individual ruin and State decay" Compare
the prosperity Of Ohio, for instance, with that
of Alabama, for the last thirty -four years, and
the individual ruin and State decay caused
by Slavery will be apparent. Mr.. Walker
writes earnestly. He pays no respect to Balti-

weakness of Slavery 40 boldly confessed in

CheerfuIpcSS.

1t is the part of the true philosopher to
jest as well as to preach, and he will be
found enforcing some of his most valuable
truths by appealing to our natural sense
Of the humorous. 1t is exceedingly te-
dious to see people budging on through
life, ever with frown upon their faces,
and sigh upon their lips; they become
peStilentiIl, and one is apt to catch the
malady by contact. Such people don't
realize that there is any sunny side to this
life of ours smile seems to them to be
sadly out of place on companions face,
and hearty laugh downright blaspbemy.
Fy-fy, what philosophy Cbeerfulness
is an amulet, charm to make US perma-
nently contented and happy. a cheerful
man feels well, does well and loves things
whichare good; while he who is always sad,
doeth Ill in the very sorrow he evinceth.
Long-faced, sactimonious people are gen
orally avoided, and very justly SO, for
who wishes to partake of their malady!
Whereas, those accustomed to look on the
sunny side of life, are ever courted for
the genial spirit they difuse about them.
He who administers medicine to the
sad heart, in the shape of wit and humor,
is most asSuredly good Samaritan. \
cheerful face is nearly as good for an in
valid as healthy weather. To make a
sick man think he is dying, all that is
necessary is to look half dead yourself
Open, unrestrained merriment is a safety
valve to the heart and disposition. If
overburthened with the noxious gases of
care, pull the string of wit, up flies the
valve of fun, and out goes the troubles
and yexations of life to the four winds of
heaven. 1t is fact beyond dispute, that
mirth is as innate in the mind as any
other quality that nature has planted
there-it only wants cultivation, and the
more we cultivate it the more fruitful it
becomes. Mirror-like, the world reflects
back to us the picture which we present
to it's surface. \ cheerful heart paints
the world as it sees it-like a sunny land
scape the morbid mind depicts it like
sterile wilderness and thus, chameleon
Ike, life takes It's hue of light or shade
from the soul on which it rests, dark or
sunny as the case may be.
DR.. Johnson used to say that a habit
Of looking on the best side of every event
is better than thousand pounds year
Bishop Hall quietly remarks, "for every
bad there might be worse, and when q
man breaks his legs, let him be thankful
that it was not his neck :" When Fene-
Ions library was on fire, God be praised
he exclaimed, "that it is not the building
Of some poor man !" This is the true
spirit Of submisSion-one Of the most
beautiful traits that can possess the hu-
man heart. Resolve to see this world on
its sunny side, and you have almost half
won the battle Of life at the outset
