HOW TO RE HAPPY.

will give you two or three good rules which
NAV help you to become happier than you would
be without knowing them; but as to being COM
pletely happy, that you can never be till youget
to heaven:
The first is, "try your best TO make others
happy" 81 never WAS happy. said a certain
king, still began to take pleasure in the vel
fare of my people; but ever since then, in the
darkest day, have had sunshine in my heart, ;,
My second rule is, & Be content with little.
There are many good reasons for this rule. We
deserve but little, we require but little, and
"betanis little, with the fear Of God, than great
treasures and trouble Herewith" Two men
were determined to be rich, but they set about
it in different ways; for the one stroVe to raise
I'D his means to bis desires while the other did
his best to bring down his desires to his means
The result was, the one who coveted much was
always repining, while he who desired but little
was always contented. =, =,
NV third rule is, alook on the sunny side Of
things."
Look up with hopeful eyes,
- Though all things seem forlorn;
Tie sun that sets tonight will rise
Again tomorrow morn.
The skipping lamb, the singing lark and the
leapinr fish tell US that happiness is not conln;
ed TO one place. God iE his goodness has sPreae
il abroad on the earth, in the air, and in the
waters. Two aged women lived in. the sam!
cottage ; one was always fearling storm, and
the other was always looking for sunshine
Hardly need say which it was wore forbidden
ftown, or which it was whose face was lightened
up with joy.

BEWARE of the malignant passions. They
are great 8 to grace. Envy is devilish, ha-
tired is murderous, wrath is cruel. Even pee
vishness destroys equanimity, and then connec-
ted thought is impossible. Gods spirit is {,
dove, and not a bird of prey. He flies from oil
noise and strife. He who ruleth not his own
spirit, will be ruled by an evil spirit,

ing against them The disposition of our coun-
try is to remain neutral. No American interest
is involved in the issue of the pending war:
and, as nations are governed by interest, and not
by sympathy, everything inclines US to remain
mere spectators of the great contest. We shall,
of course, form our own opinions of its origin
and its objects but there is no danger that we
shall depart, in any way, from the duties of a
Act neutrality. That we have not done so,
the Times comedies. Our ships have respected
the Baltic blockade and while We have refused
to permit English enlistment en- our soil, we
have also withheld sympathy and aid from The
active, earnest and energetic movements of the
[ Irish to embarrass England, and add domestic
rebelliop to her forcig ign war.
eff the Times desires to change this state OF
things-to drive us from our neutrality into an
active sympathy with Russia-it takes the most
effective course possible, by threatening us with
| the supervisory interference of the Alliance.
| For, upon one thing the Times may count with
perfect certainty; any attempt Of England and
| France to interfere with the relations of the
| United States to Mexico, to Cuba, to Central
Amerca, or to any other country on this contl-
nent- except to. secure the payment of debts,
or to protect their own vested interests-,oM be
resisted, and, of need be, resisted by anqr That
war may bs "long and dangerous;" but no
matter how long, nor how dangerous, it will be
welcomed eagerly, by the great mass of our
people; it will be waged, year after year, at q
cost of millions Of money and thousands OF
lives, rather than submit to the surveillance with
| which we are threatened. And it is the threat
of such an attempt, every now and then thrust
upon us, that -epresses sympathy with England
and checks even exultation over such splendid
triumph of ,valor and skill rs the.capture OF Sc.
bastopol. 1t is asking too much to expect TINT
we will applaud power whose next achieve
ment is. to be our own destruction.
"For our own part, we have no apprehension
of INV such movement. We do not believe
that either England or France designs to under
take the coercion of this country in any matters
relating to our own hemisphere. Nor do we be-
jlieve the alliance could survive such an attemp
u single month. The people of England vii
never permit war with this country on any
such ground. They cannot afford H., Thel
commerce with fas-thelr manufactures, depen
dent upon US at once for raw material and for a
market-their manifold relations with us, involv
ing, to so great an extent, their means of sup
port and of comfort-are OF infinitely more
Importance TO them, than Mexico, Cuba, or th'
whole of South America. And if every one o
these countries were seized and settled by Van
KEGS, no people would profit more by the chang
than the English"
