MISCELLANEOUS READING.
CHARITY AND GOOD SPIRITS.

Howard, the great philanthropist, was sub
ject to great depression of spirits. Had he
given way to them, he would probably have
died melancholy mailman years before h"
so nobly closed a well-spent and useful life
He declared that the best remedy he found
for low spirits was to put on his hat and *
out and find poor family in sickness and
wretchedness, whose wants he could in some
way contribute TO relieve ltwas under this
kind of penalty, ifhe relaxed, that he spent
his days. Winter is the season when many
are doing much good among the poor and dis
trcssed, when many feel the damp, dark, sun
less days and the close of the year depressing
them, even in the midst of prosperity and
when all such may find many opportunities
for thus promoting their own happiness and
that Of those around them.
The remedy is more natural one than
most conceive The sight of real wretched-
ness must make rejecting person ashamed
of those imaginary Sorrows over which so
many brood
