SURE RECEIPT FOR HAPPINEss.-One ofthe
wealthy merchants of our city, whose death the
past year was universally mourned, often told
his friends an anecdote which occurred in his
own experience, and which was recommended
to all those who desired to enjoy serene old
age, without allowing their wealth to disturb
their peace Of mind. He said that when he had
obtained his fortune, he found he began to grow
uneasy about his pecuniary affairs; and one
night, when he was about sixty years Of age,
his sleep was disturbed by unpleasant thoughts
respecting some shipments he had just made.
In the morning he said to himself This will
never do; if allow such thoughts to gain the,
mastery over me, ! must bid farewell to peace
all my life will stop this brood of care at
once, and at single blow" Accordingly, he
went to his countingroom, and upon exanina-
ton found he had $4,000 in money on hand
He made out list of his relatives and others he
desired to aid, and before he went to bed again
he had given away every dollar of the thirty
thousand. He said he slept we'll that night and
for long time after his dreams were not dis
turbed by anxious thoughts about his vessels
or property.-Bo Boston Transcript.
