l,lnl PROPERTY,

Tt is said of some philaathropic person, who
had engaged in q magnanmouS enterprise, anu
lost. that they came out Of it with nothing left
but themselves. That WAS good property, how
ever Yourself is, after ALL your only possession.
1t is all any one really owns, or ever can own.
It is better tlan bank stock, estate, empire,
renntation. With that left, 10 one is poor.
With that left, you have all the sources of hap
pincss, wealth, character, great thoughts and
noble deeds latent within you. Only that per-
son is poor who has not himsclr-wlosc iacul-
tics have never l,cen developed, whose soul
sumbers; or who has bartered away his nteg-
rty, signed off his affections and independence,
for ally rccompcnSc whatever. 49,,
The poorest man we know is an old fellow
with half million, who lives in splendid
mansion. and is surrounded by ilatterers, but
who has seen only three happy. days in twenty
five years, namely ;-Shen he forgot his avarce
and gave his brothers. widow an annuity; when
he caught robbcr at his bed and out OF com
passion let linn 60 again and when his wife
died. Another poor man we know has spent
his health and half his fortune in the pursuit ol
pleasure, and found only the gout. We know
also 4 moor woman, who was toleraby well OIL
with happy mind and one silk gown, until she
married for wealth an old man, by whom she
has three closets full Of dresses, two carriages
a silver service, o set of diamonds, SIX servants
and baby. SHE is now the poorest woman o.

OLD JOLLlFlCE.

Old Jolifacc is jolly old fellow. The world
always goes smoothly with him, or, rather, he
goes smoothly with the world. lie passes a'ons
over LIES troubled river with a grin on his face,
and believe he will smile till his dying day.
Hard times or easy times-money tight or
money plcnty-provisions high or provisions low
rain or sunshine, it is all the same with GA
Jollface. His happy smile, his pleasant face, bis
hopcfGl, philosophical mind drive hence all care.
He is wholly different to all that is convulsing
society; and be it "good, bad or indifferent" 1t
is ever passed by with smile.

only draws from him amonosyllahlc e. aculation,
and. Of course, grin. 1t is seldom that he
sigs. and when he docs so it is only sigh oi
sympathy, and he smiles while lie signs.
Everything is pleasant and lively about him
He allows no one to have the WnrS when lie Is
around, and has only TO look at his good-natured
countel;!lce 10 get rid of the most desperate
case Of dependency.
What pleasant world this would be if we
all had more of the GOOD qualities cultivated by
Old Jollifacc-if We would try to bc always
kind, and contcntc,l and happy.
And why may we not be happy as he? Its
the warm sunshine OF his smile that keeps the
chill of discomfort and unhappincss from his
heart 1t is the influence of Il buoyant, elastic
spirit that throws aside the burden of care that
would otherwise settle upon him and weigh linn
down with its lcaviness. And not among the
least of tic promotiyes of his Happiness are the
flowers Of Kindness and bcncvolGnce that bios
som away down in his soul, and emit an asrcc;I-
bic fragrance upon al his words.
May those flowers blossom in our souls, too
NAV the principles of truthful and noble heart
ever be ours; then, though disaster and trouble
may meet us and for Il time cast their shadows
upon our way, though we maybe forced to eX,
change plenty for poverty, tile home of luxury
for ono of pcnlry, the bed Of down for one Of
straw, we shall ever lind some in the world who
will love lis, aud many things, in all conditions
flat we c:ul love. J. II. TURNER.
