: Heed yeall this command. Laugh while
you may. It's better to laugh than to cry.
Tears are crying evil. Don't cry for
split milk. An ocean of tears wouldn't
save a drop OF it. Dry up and laugh.
Laugh early and often. Laughing is catch
ing. Laugh, then, and let others catch Il,
and thereby become 2 benefactor to your
kind. We will wager this is good advice.
A good laugher never has the dyspepsia,
and lives to die at good old age, provided
he doesnt travel much on railroads. Me
thueelah was an incessant Laughter, and he
lived upward of nine hundred years; but
then provisions weren't as high as now.
There were no railroads in his days neith-
'er. Laugh-lkueh right out, but not IN
meetin,. Don't choke laugh let it come
up full, clear and hearty. Even the wa
ters laugh. Didn't Iongfellow write Of
Laughing Water ?" Don't you sing OF
the round, laughing moons And then
there sfe laughing hyenas. Don't be out.
done by waters, moon, and hyenas. Re
solve to laugh from this hour. If you
can't find any thing to laugh at laugh Of
yourself We warrant you have abundant
cause. At any rate, laugh. We never
knew . jolly, good lsugher to be sent to
State Prison or Congress Exchanges. ?
