of his mouth when clouds came over the
sun. or letting his head drop like dead
| weight into his shoes when misfortune
came upon him Why, man, if the
world knock you down and jostles past
you in its great race, don't sit whining
under peoples feet, but get up, rub your
elbows, and begin again. There are some
people whom, even to look at, is worse
than a dose of camomile tea. What if
you are a little puzzled on the dollar and
cent question ?--others beside you ex-
actly in the same spot, and struggled
brayely out of it, and you are neither
halt, lame, or bird, that you cannot do
likewise The weather may be dark
and rainy very well--laugh between
the drops, and think cheeringly of the
blue sky and sunshine that will surely
come 10 morrow Business nay be dull,
make the best of what you have, and
!. Ok forward to something mere hopeful.
If you catch fall, don't lament your
bruises. but be thankful that no bones
are broken. II you can't afford roast
beef and plumb pudding, eat your cod
| fish joytuly, and thank your stars for the
indigestion and Dyspepsia y on thereby
escape But the moment you begin to
groan over your troubles aud count up
the calamities, you may as well throw
yourself over the dock and have done
with it. The ucklest fellow that ever
lived, might have woes enough, if he had
set himself seriously to work lcoking
them up. They are like invisible specks
Of dust--you don't see 'em till you put
on your spectacles. But then, is it worth
while 10 put on your spectacles to dis
cover what is a great deal better let alone
Don't gel discouraged little wife Lifc
is not long enough to spend in infaming
your eyes and reddening your nose be-
cause The pudding ont bake, and your
husband says the new shirt you worked
over SO long, .'sets like a meal bag"
Make another pudding-begin the shirt
anew Don't feel edo wn IN the mouth -
because dust will settle, and clothes will
wear out, and crockery get broked.--
Being woman don't procure you an ex-
empiion from trouble and care you have
got to f ght the battle of life as we'll as
your husband, and it will nev er do to give
it up without a bold struggle. Take
things as they come, good aud bad to-
gether, and whenever you feel inclined TO
cry, just change your mind and laugh =
Keep the horrors at arms length never
turn bl ssing round to see if it has a
dark side to it, and always take it for
granted that things are blessings until
they prove to be something else.
Never allow yourself to get discour-
aged, and you will find the world a pret-
ty comfortable sort of place after all.

Burke gave his consent, and Floyd made off
with the horses. Burke waited ana visited,
and got tired Of waiting. At the end of
about six rnonths he wrote to Floyd, asking
If he had not sold the horses. FLOYD wrote
back that one of them had been for sometims
indisposed, aud he had, therefore, thought it
best not to hurry the sale, but that the in
valid horse was getting in good condition,
and would no doubt be very soon fit for
market. Burke, not quite satisfied that all

the horses sold immediately, and the money
