THE BRIGHT SIDE.-Look on the
bright side; it is the right side
The times may be hard, but it viii
make them no easier TO wear .
gloomy and sad countcRance. Il is
the sunshine, not the cloud, that
makes the flower. Troubles gives
sinew and tone to life, fortitude and
courage TO man. That would be 2
duh sea and the sailor would never
get skill where there was nothing 10
disturb the surface of ocean. What.
though things look q little dark /?
the lane will turn; and night will
end in broad day. There is more
virtue in one sunbeam than in a
whole hemisphere. of clouds and
