CHEEaFUL.-Touics, stlmulatives, medicines /
There is nothing in all the pharmacOpeia half
so inspiriting as cheerful temper Do not
! fancy yourself victim Do not 60 through
| the world with face half yard long Do
not persuade yourself that everything happens
wrong Ny dear friend. you are the only per-
| that is wrong, when you say that thIs Is 9
world of trial and trouble 1t is great deal
better to be with out an arm, or leg, than to
lack cheerfulness. What if the globe does not
roll round in the precise direction you want il
to Make the most of it, Pat pleasant face
on the matter, and do not go about throwing
cold water on the fresides of the rest of manr
kind. If you are in want of an example look at
the BIRDS or the very sunshine the grass
Show us enc grumbler in all natures wide do
mains
The man who is habitually cheerful has found
the true philosophers stone there is no cloud
so dark but he the blue sky beyond-no
trouble so calamitous but he finds some blessing
left him to thank Providence for. He may be
peor and destitute, but he walks clad IN armor
that all the mines of Goconda cannot purchase.
Snow aud rain cannot penetrate it-scOrn and
contumely fall harmless from its surface. The
storm that sinks less courageous craft can
only compel him to trim his sails aud try agian,
Whs would be mere thermometer, to rise and
fall in spirit with every change of life's atmos'
phere .lf
ent about ANYTHING and everything, we know it
is his mental health that is out of "gear."
Cheerfulness is all he wants. No matter how
thick and fast yexations may come there 10
nothing like bright little ray of the souls
sunshine to disperse them. Counted in dollars
aud cents, your.-wsalth may be Paltry sum,
but if you have cheerful temper, you are rlcn.
THE RADICALS DEMAND New LEADER OF THE
HousE-Harper's Weekly, violent radical pa
per, seeing the errors ofits ways, is urging mod
GRAFTON. With reference to the leadership Of
Congress, it says /
| ave repeat the hope which expressed
during the last winter, that some Representa-
| tive whose radical convictions are as unquet-
tionable as those of Mr.. Thadeus Stevens Will
save Congress and the country from the disgfaee
| of his unchecked thought and action. The
! motion of this gentleman that the House should
adjourn during the reading of the Presidents
| Message was not so much an insult to the Presli
| dent as to the whole country, and his remarks
at the banquet of reception were both untimsly
| and foolish
And, hiuting at the absurdity of the impeachI
| ment scheme, the Weekly utters the following
| significant remark
sLet us hope that some members will rehect
| that it was the apparent assent Of the House 70
| the vagaries of Mr. THadeus Stevens year
ago which so seriously disturbed its hold upon
| many of the most loyal men 10 the country, who,
| ho xever had no alternative but to suPpots
| Congress when the issue fairly joined 10
| the canvass If it be an impeachabie offence, -
Gen. Butler seems to suppose for the Execuuteo
Department of the Government to bring ISe
Legislative into contempt what is the Temeuy
when the Legislative branch retorts nay uOs
that account be considered settled, anu inc
impeachment be reseryedY' -l.
