CHEERFUL HEART.

Ionce heard a young lady say to an
individual: "Your countenance to me
is like the rising sun for railways glad
dens me with cheerful look.' mer-
ry or cheerful countenance was one of
the things which Jeremy Taylor said
his enemies or his prosecutors could
not take from him.
There are some persons who would
spend their lives In this world as they
would spend them if shut up in dun
geon, Every thing is made gloomy and
forbidding. They go mourning and
complaining from day TO day that they
have SO little, and are constantly anx-
ions lest what little they have will es-
cape out OF their hands. They al
ways look on the dark side, and can
never enjoy the good that is present
for the evil that Is to come. That Is no
religion. Religion maketh the heart
cheerful ; and when its large and benev-
olen: principles are exercised, men will
be happy in spite OF themselves. The
industrious bee does not complain that
there are so many poisoiious flowers
and thorny branches in his road but
buzzes on, selecting the honey where
he can find it, and passes quietly by
where is is not. There is enough in
this world to complain about and find
fault with, If men have the disposition.
We often travel on hard uneven road.
but with a cheerful spirit We may walk
therein with co nfort, and come to the
and OF our journey in peace.
