MAKES OTHERS HAppY.-Some men move
through life as band of music moves down
the street, finging out pleasure on every
side. through the air to every one, far and
near, who can listen. Some men fill the
air with their presence and sweetness, as an
orchard in October days fills the air with per.
fume of ripe fruit Some women cling to
their own houses like the honeysuckle over
the door, yet like it, fill all the region with
subtle fragrance of their goodness. How
great bounty and blessing it is so to
hold the royal gifts of the soul, that they
shall be music to some, and fragrance to
others, and life to all !! It would be no un-
worthy thing to live for, to make the power
which we have within us the breath of other
mems JOY to fill the atmosphere which
they must stand in with brig Illness which
they cannot create for themselves. yeas go
