Coop AND BAD HuMoR.-There is no dspo-
sition more comfortable TO the person himself, or
more agreeable to others, than good humor 1t
is TO the mind what good health is 10 the body,
putting man in the capacity Of enjoying every
thing that is agreeable in lfe and of using every
faculty without clog or impediment Ii disposes
to conientmcnt with our lot, TO benevolence to
all men. to sympathy to the distressed 1t pre-
sents every object in the most favorable light.
and disposes TO avoid giving or ling offence.
There is disposition opposite to good humor,
which we call bad humor, of which the tendency
is directly the contrary, and therefore its influ.
ence is as malignant that of the other is san-
tary. Bad humor alone is sufficient to make
man unhappy; it tnges every object with its
own dismal color, and, like part that is CALLED,
is hurt by everything that touches it. 1t takes
offence where none is meant and disposes to
discomfort, Jealousy, envy, and, in general, to
malcvolcnce.

Of all the notable things on earth,
The queerest one is pride Uf birth,

A bridge across a hundred years,

A thing for laughter. sneers and Jeers,

Depend upon it, my snobbish friend,
Your family thread you cant ascend,

You may find it waxed at the further end
By some plebian vocation!
Or, worse than all, your boasted line
May end in loop Of sironger twine
That plagued some worthy relation!
Because you flourish in worldly sffairs,
Dou't be naughty and put on airs,
With insolent pride of station
Don't be proud. and turn up your nose,

But learn, for the sake Of your minds re-
