opposite side of the river, is we'll calcula-

Life.-What is it, Worcester says the
time To elapse between birth and DEATH
Life, il to some, pleasant. to others it is
very disagreeable. Those that ARE con-
demned tn live their lives in the peniten-
tiarv or banishcd to Siberia to wear away
tia.ir life in that cold and drearv country,
wish that God would deprive them Of the
greatest blessing, but to them the greatest
curse, their life. There are very few per-
sons in the world that are content with the
way they live. If they have but little OF
this worlds goods. they wish and are con-
t'nually striving tn become richer in the
things oftlis lie, that perish and decay,
as will this worldly body when deprived Of
Life, and laid in the Grave. 4 lady whose
husband is not very rich, says to herself,
] should think Mrs. Smith would be the
happiest woman in the world. She has
everything she wants. She has a new
bonnet that cost twenty-five dollars, a
cloak that cost seventy-tive, and that beau-
tiful tan colored silk dress was made lrer
present by her father. She has !, line car
riage ana horses with nothing to do but
say the word. Her house is the finest in
the city, and furnished almost like a pal
sce. Yet she is not happy, notwithstand-
ing all this. Her husband is not agreea-
bic to her When at home. which is
only to his meals. Tie spends his earn
ings at a fashionable Wine Party, given
by some of his associates, or at a ball or
theatre. His wife is,at home waiting his
return in the evening, hoping that this
will be the last time he will De absent from
home, his wife and children. She sees too
we'll that he is squandering his fortune
and running his health by drinking. which
will end in his being drunkard and his
wife and children will have to work. by
the days work to earn enough to keep
them clothed and from star wing. The peO-
pie in this world can make life agreeable
or not as they choose. II is not the world
iy goods they possess that makes it pleas
ant, but 1t is the way they take things. If
you meet reverse make the best of il. Do
not sit down and pine over that which is
lost, but 90 ahead and do the best YOU can
always looking on the bright side of the
picture. and this life will pass away much
more pleasantly than it would it if e were
S,'scold from morning to night.
