A Happy World.

This is q happy world; who says the
contrary is fool or something else
There is everything to make us happy.
The land, sea, and sky contribute to our
enjoyment. The man who has good
heart sees pleasure where bad person
beholds nothing but gloom. The Sc
cret, then, Of being happy and enjoying
this glorious world, is to possess vir-
tuous heart. Who is the most content
cd and cheerful man in your neighbor-
hood2 The man who has the most hon
or and possesses the greatest riches
No. 1t is he who possesses nothing
but kind heart, for nothing rufiles his
temper or disturbs his repose. The
morning sky, the evening cloud, the
rolling waters; the blooming landscape,
the teeming forest and the fields of
snow, give him pleasure that others
never dream of. 1t is he whose mind
Is led from nature up to natures God,
and every day that he lives, he Is con-
tented and happy rs it is possible for
man to be. Depend upon It, this
world is a beautiful one, and contains
thousand sources of enjoyment which
they only can see and feel whose hearts
are pure, and whose lives correspond
with the word of eternal truth.
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1864-12-08

At the Mcleod House, Macinaw, was
little boy, just turned Of three years,
with head very much the shape and
color Of bunch of hatcheIed flax. His
cheeks were plump, his eyes blue, his
speech slow, but manly for one OF his
years, and his general department un-
exceptionable / took him at first MS
belonging to the landlord Of the house,
bnt subsequently learned he was an or
pban--his father and mother having
died over n year ago. He had some rel
alive living at the hotel, and on this
ground was himself tolerated. He
walked without hat or shoes, and seem
ed unwilling to obtrude himself upon
boys and girls who wore better clothes.
Observing him wandering alone in the
carriage yard one afternoon, / slipped
out and put him on my shoulder, and
gave him a ride, whereupon he called
me 'horsey' ever after 1 asked him
where his father and mother were; but
he seemed without knowledge on the
subject, answering while pointing west
ward "over to the island" He was
struck by an older and larger boy, one
morning, and felled to the ground.
The provocation could not learn; but
when the little fellow got upon his feet
there was feeling of pain, surprise and
helplessness in his countenance, that
made me instantly take him to my
breast and wipe away his tears. He
did not know where to run, nor whom
to tell Of his trouble, and when I saw
it all, tears came into my own eyes, and
half resolved to beg him for my own,
and carry him away. A bright new
two cent piece quieted his cries, and a
little time after he slipped away, sat
down on an old log, and seemed to think
/ that loneliness was safety.
All, reader, have you ever anywhere,
any time, struck the orphan blow ?
l do not mean blow with the hand but
a blow Of words at the hearth Have
you, where the smile ought to have
been given, sent instead the cold, hard
wordp And ifyou have, are you going
to repeat the actP The land is filled
with orphans. Some of them will per
haps, some day ask you for bread, and
not for bread only, but for kind word
Will you respond, or will you plant bit
terness and thorns in some young heart
that walks the earth crying in vain fol
hands that once fondlcd him, and foi
lips that impaired caresses Of warmth
and love? A caress or play will Otter
make an impress so deep upon child's
heart that long after years have wipec
away from him the remembrance o.
your name and face, he will keep greer
the act, and it will cheer in many anc
many time of heart-sinking and sol
itude.-I Western Christian Advocate.

Antipatllies and Fears.

1t Is q difficult matter to account for
the dislikes some persons have been
known to entertain. Yet many instan-
ces are upon record of unaccountable
antipathies, so deeply rooted that no
exertion of the mind was capable of
eradicating them.
OF this we have striking instance in
the brave Marquis de la Rocho Jacaue-
lin, who, though he was undaunted in
the field of battle, yet could never help
trembling and turning pale at the sight
of harmless squirrel. He was the
first to laugh at his own weakness, but
his utmost efforts were never able to
overcome this involuntary terror.

Venetian noblcman of the family OF
