Happy Every Day.

Sidney Smith cut the following from a
newspaper and preserved it for himself:
"When you rise in the morning. form a
resolution to make the day happy one to
a fellow creature. 1t is easily done;
left off garment to the man who needs it

if you are young,depend upon i, it will tell
when you are old; and if you are old, rest
assured it will send you gently and happi-
ly down the stream of time to eternity.
By the most simple arithmetical sum, look
at the result If you send one person,
only one, happily through the day, that
is three hundred and sixty-five in the
course of the year. And supposing you
live forty years only after you COM
mence that course of medicine, you have
made 14,6OO beings happy; at all events,
for time"

My heart was light going home; so were

the job, but we were all to be paid for it /;
and must say the old man came down
handsomely with the needful, not to speak
of Burton ale; and was to be made his

Parks wanted to see me or my uncle.
What could he want, and how had he

On investigation they proved to be over

but the deceased manager. His family
knew nothing about it; being all ladies,
they were entirely ignorant of banking af-
fairs; but they left York next season, took
handsome house at Scarborough, and
were known to get money regularly from
London. They never employed any doc

The American Minister at Rome gives ar
account of an interview with the Pope, in
which his holiness expressed his opinion
of the Feuians as follows:
sIreland was restless and discontented,
and Fenianism uttered ominous threats.
He had no idea, he said, that this move
ment would affect British rule in Ireland,
for the ocean which rolled between the
United States and Great Britain forbade
the idea of invasion. But Canada, with
its extensive and exposed frontier, offered
an easy prize, and thither, he thought

There is no department of art in which
European artists show more ingenuity
than in their caricatures, as every one viii
agree who is familiar with the London
Punch, the Paris CkariUari, and the Ger
man Klaterdddtsch. But very frequently
they exhibit much higher order of tai
icals. The following description of a carl
cature seen at Geneva will recall to some
of our readers similar sketches from time
to time seen in the art exhibitions in oul
own country. The Geneva caricature, al
a distance was simply the likeness o.
Louis Napoleon; but closer inspection
showed that the tuft of hair on the fore
head was an eagle, the symbol of the EN-
pire, underneath which the ''crow's feet
on the brow recorded Dec. ii. The eal
was formed of groupe of Sayoyards tied
hands and legs together; the moustache
was a cannon mouth; the beard was the

ReautifuI Sentiment.

l confess that increasing years bring
with them an increasing respect for men
who do not succeed in life, as those words
are commonly used. Heaven is said to
be place for those who have not sue
ceeded upon earth; and it is surely true
celestial graces do not best thrive and
bloom in the hot blaze of worldly pros
perity. Ill success sometimes arises from
superabundance of qualities in them
selves good-from conscience too sensi-
tive, taste too fastidious, selfforgetful-
ness too romantic, modesty too retiring.
l will not go so far as to say, with living
poet, ''that the world knows nothing Of
its greatest men," but there are forms of
greatness, or at least excellence, which
''die and make no sign" there are mar
tyrs that miss the palm, but not the stake;
heroes without the laurel, and conquerors
without the triumph.

AUTUMN DAYS.


Now time has brought the season round
OF russet norns and ewes,
OF stubble, stead of fowery ground,
OF frosts and fading leaves.
But though the days come up SO late
And walk in shadows drear,
l wait and watch, and watch and wait,
To greet them year by year.
For well love the wind that shakes
The fading branches bare,
And love the thistle-down that makes
The daisies of the air.
And love to hear the schoolboy's call,
While roves he at his will,
And love to hear the ripe nuts fall
When all beside is still.
love to see the birds take flight,
AS silently they rise,
Add wheel and turn from left to right,
Like armies in the skies.
l love to see the naples high
To crimson colOrs run,
And love to see the hocks that lie
ALI lazy in the sun.
love the quiet of the air
That charms the wood and world,
And makes the landscape everywhere,
So pleasant to behold.
But more than any pleasant sight
The outward world can show,
/ love at coming on of night
To see the hearth-fre glow.
l love to see the circle there
The child with rosy face,
The sturdy boys, the girls so fair
And full of gentle grace;
The mother in the chimney nook,
Her work upon her knees,
The father, with his pipe or book,
And in his chair of ease.
But still when autumn's chilly rains
Begin to blast and blight
The fields and flowers, the household ga
The vanished warmth and light.

BE FRIENDS WITH Your CHupRzN.-
Too many parents, alas, live in a state of
war, or at best in an armed truce with
their children, as though they were enc
mics conspiring against the peace of home
and the interests of life; and the children
finding coldness where they looked for
warmth, turn and look elsewhere for the
sympathy and affection, the cheer and
guidance, which parents neglect to give.
Make your children feel that you are the
best Of friends, and that your @no" shuts
the door on a coveted pleasure only to shut
out greater ills or to make greater hap
piness possible to them.
