LAUGH LoUD-LAUGH OFTEN" What tonic
what febrifuge," said the Dublin University
Magazine, some time ago, is hearty laugh =
and We beg leave to reiterate the sentiment
When you see a man who can't laugh take our
word for it he is not honest when man laughs
as though he wanted to cry, something is wrong
with him; when he gives vent to dry mocking
laugh, he Is planning some scheme to some bad
end an individual who is continually smiling
Is seldom to- be trusted-he is au Oily Cannon
sort of a fellow--a very Uriah Heap, who will
wriggie his way into your confidence, and then
betray it; person who chuckIes Is not safe. and
one who frequently checks himself suddenly in
lncipient efforts to laugh, will bear Watching
But II you want the acquaintance of true man
OF a man full of the milk Of human kindness
NOT Grabbed or sour-aot designing and cal
eulating-ont open, straightforward, blunt and
honest, choose one who laughs often and laughs
loud. The test is iniallible-we never knew an
instance in which its application was not fuIy
msti6ed
