How TO MAKE YOURSELF UNHAPPY.
In the first place, II you want to make
yourself miserable be selfish. Think
all the time of yourself and of your
own things. Don't care about any
thing else. Have no feelings for any
one but Yourself. Never think of en-
iioying ths satisfaction of seeing others
happy, but rather, if you see smiling
face, be jealous lest another should en-
JOY what you have not. Envy one
who rs better off in any respect than
yourself; think unkindly toward them
and speak-lightly Of them. Be con-
stantly afraid lest some one should en-
croach upon your rights; be watchful
against it, and if any one comes near
your things snap at him like a mad
dog. Contend earnestly for every
thing that is your own, though it may
not be worth a pin; for your rights
are just as much concerned as If Il
were pound of gold. Never yield
a point. Be very sensitive, and take
everything that is said to you in play
fitness in the most serious manner
Be jealous of your friends, lest they
should not think enough ofyou; and il
at any time they should seem to neg.
lect you, put the worst instruction
upon their conduct you can.

Postage Stamps Saoinals $50

the heading of an advertisement, stat
ing that local agent in every town
and county in the United States and
Canada, for business in which "the
above profits may be realized. Every
applicant must enclose two postage
stamps! That fellow will get thou
sands of three cent stamps by his ad-
vertisement, which he has inserted in
the principal newspapers of the larger
cities. In every town and village there
will be from three to thirty or more
persons who will feel inclined to re.
spond to that call, and write for partic-
ulars, and as they are told not to ex-
pect reply unless two letter postage
stands are enclosed, they will put
them in. There are many thousand
communities in the United States and
Canada, butsupposing' that the adver-
tiser is sofortunate as TO receive on an
average five responses from only 1000
places; it will yield him crop of TO-
900 letters and 100000 stamps! The
letters he can sell for waste paper to the
mills the stamps will amount to the
snug sum of 5000. As he has no in
tention Of making any reply to the
greenhorns who have sent them, all he
has to do is to sell the stamps. which
he can do for FIVE per cent discount
and pocket the profits.
