Gratitude.

~
powerful agent of happiness a
lively sense of gratitude is. 1t
is one of the most profitable of
all investments, for it yields its
dividends of peace and con-
tentment not only annually and
semi-annually, but daily and
hourly. We are SO constituted
that we must judge of things
by comparison. We call one
object large because it is larger
than another; we call one man
rich, because he has larger pos
sessions than another. IF we
have an active gratitude in our
bosoms, or, if we will cultivate
it, we may find constant cause
for rejoicing in contrasting our
own fortunes with the unfortu-
nate. We encounter, almost
every day, a misery that we are
strangers to. We meet the halt,
the lame, the blind, the sick
and the bereaved, at every turn
of life's devious pathway. 1t is
impossible to envy the lot Of
these; we ought to pity them,
and be ready to relieve their
destitution or solace their sor-
row. In doingthis we shall dis
cover how much unsupported
Wretcheduess there is in the
world, and experience a feeling
of gratitude at the privilege Of
our betterlot. There are others
who are better off than we are,
who have more wealth, more
friends, and more favors. These
are above lis. But it is not theiy,
lot we should contemplate. Let
us look down on the loWIy be-
meath Us, and not up, on the
lofty above us, and give our
souls to gratitude instead of
envy. Ambition is a noble and
proper passion, when legiti-
mately directed, but thatambi-
ton that seeks to scale one
hight after another, that is ever
looking upward to new realms
of eminence and power, and
that goes on adding conquest
to conquest, without stopping
to be grateful for its successes,
is an insatiate covetousness
which usually, in the end, en-
counters acrushing disappoint-
ment sent as a punishment for
its thankless selfishness. TO as
cend safely and securely, one
must aceustom himself to look
back, not with naughty, but
with grateful feelings upon The
conquered stages beneath him.
and remember that every less
successful toiler on the rugged
path of life is a proof Of heav.
ems peculiar favor. No one
is stranger to gratitude can be
really happy; but the humblest
person who will, as he can dis
cover some cause for thankful
ness in his condition, will fn(
contentment at the same time
In one word, gratitude is itsel
a serene and tranquil happi
ness.

A Short Story with a Moral.

An English writer says:
"That night I was too late; I
returned by the Lee Cabin
about IL o'clock. As I ap-
preached | saw a strange-look-
ing object covering under the
low caves. A cold rain was
falling; it was autumn. / drew
near, and there was Millie, wet
to the skin. Her father had
driven her out some hours be-
fore; she had laid down to lis
Ten for the heavy snoring of his
drunken slumbers so that she
might creep back to bed. Be-
fore she heard it nature seemed
exhausted, and she fell into a
troubled sleep with rain drops
pattering upon her. / tried to
take her home with me, but no,
true as a martyr to his faith,
she struggled from me and re-
turned to the now durk aud si-
lent cabin. Things went on in
this way for weeks and months,
but at length Lee grew less
violent, even in his drunken
fits, to his self-denying child;
and one day, when he woke
from a slumber, aftera debauch,
and found her preparing break
fast for him, and singing a
childish song, he turned to her,
and with a tone almost tender,
said: "Millie, what makes you
stay with me Z"
Because you are my father,
and [ love you."
"You love me" repeated the
wretched man; "you love mel"
He looked at bis bloated limbs,
his soiled and ragged clothes;
'love me-" he still murmured
'Millie, what makes you love
me? l am a poor drunkard
everybody else despfses me;
why don't you ? "Dear father"
said the girl with swimming
eyes, "my mother taught me to
love you, and every night she
comes from heaven, and stands
by my little bed, and says:
'Millie, don't leayeyour father;
he will get away from that rum
tiend some of these days, and
then how happy you will be-"
The quiet, persistent love of
this child was the redemption
of this man."
