THE CHEERFUL FACE.
BY ANNA CLEAXES.


Next to the sunlight of heaven is the
sunlight of cheerful face. There is no
mlstaking 1.-THE bright eye. the uncloud-
ed brow, the sunny smile, all tell of that
which dWells within Who has not felt
its electrifying influence One glance at
such face lifts US at once out OF the
arms of despair, out of the mists and
shadows, away from tears and repining
into the beautiful realms of hope. One
cheerful face in household will keep
everything bright and warm within.
Envy, hatred, malice, selfshness, das-
pondency, and host of evil passions,
may Turk around the door, they may even
look within, but they can never enter
and abide there; the cheerful face will
put them to shame and fight.
1t may be very plain face, but there
is something about it we feel. yet cannot
express and its CHEEKY smile sends the
blood dancing through our veins for very
joy; we turn toward the sun, and its
| warm, genial Influence refxashes and
strengthens our fainting spirits. All,
there is world of magic in the plain,
cheerful face It charms us with spell
that reaches into eternity. and we would
not exchange it for all the soulless beau
ty that ever graced the fairest form on
earth
1t may be very little face; one that
we nestle on our bosom or sing to sleep
in our arms with low, sweet lullaby
but it is such a bright. CHEEKY little face
The scintillations of joyous spirit are
flashing from every feature. And what
a power it has over the household
binding each heart together in tender
ness, and love, and sympathy. Shadows
may darken around US, but somehow this
little face ever shines between, and the
shining is SO bright that the shadows
cannot remain, and silently they Greer
away into the dark corners where the
| cheerful face is never seen.
1T may be very aurfnzEed face, but i
is all the drearer for that and none the
less bright. We linger near it and gaze
tenderly upon it, and say, God bles!
this happy face We must keep it witt
us as long as we can, for home will lost
much of its brightness when this swee
face is gone"
And after it is gone how the remem
brance of it purifes and softens our way
ward natures! When care and sorrow
would snap our heart-strings asunder
this wrinkled face looks down upon us
and the painful tension grows lighter
the way less dreary, and the sorrow les
heavy.
| God bless the cheerful face Bless it
He has blessed it already the stamp O
heaven is on every feature What
dreary world this would be without thi
heaVen-born light and he who has
not, should pray for itsas he would pra,
for his daily bread. -Phreno7ogicaz Joug

A Serious Matter.

Old Mr.. Waston, on Nelson street, has
got nice little bill to pay. He sent
man down town fer pot of paint, and
then went to lumber yard after ladder.
Then he tied the paint pot on the end of
the ladder, and put the ladder on his
shoulder. This was very smart arrange
ment, and the man himself admired it
| very much. = He started for home this
way, and didn't find any trouble in getting
along, the first block, because people had
an impression that long ladder with
pot of yellow paint dangling on the end
oft wasn't exactly the thing to trife
with, so they balanced along on the curb
stone, or rubbed up against the building.
Pretty soon the man saw somebody in a
store he knew, and he turned around to
speak to him, and drove one end of the
| ladder into a millinery case and knocked
the crown out of an eighteen dollar bon
net. Then he backed off in alright, and
| knocked down two sewing machine agents
with the other end. Then he started to
run round, and an old gentleman who
was desperately endeavoring to pull his
wife out of danger, saw the peril, and shout
ed out "Hi, there - But it was too late.
| The pot struck aginst an awning post,
tripped to one side, and the entire con-
| tents went over the aged couple. This so
startled the man that he whirled comp
letely around, smashing in an entire store
frightening milkman's team, and
knocked over some thirteen persons who
were actively lodging about to get out of
the way. Then he dropped the ladder,
and fed into the country, shouted "nur-
DER and ''fre'' at every jump. A
regular ordained painter is now engaged
on Mr.. Watson house-Dan6u1g Mems.
