A Pleasant story of the President.

A little girl was engaged, with others,
in raising money by small contributions
to liquidate the debt of one of the small
churches near Trenton, N. j. and a
prize was to be given to the girl that
raised the largest amount. Shesucceed-
ed we'll, but learned that one little girl
had raised trife more than she had,
and after all, she was likely to lose the
prize. In thinking over the idea oc-
Cured to her to write to Gen. Grant to
help her out. The Trenton Gazette says
that she did so, and, to her great joy,
the President answered the letter and
inclosed the sum of So, and gave her,
besides, some excellent advice. The
child was much pleased in receiving a
letter from Gen. Grant as she was to
get So. The letter became the object
of great tcuriosity. Everybody wanted to
see it. One gentleman gave So for it,
and then charged quarter of dollar
to see it. In this way some fifteen or
twenty dollars were realized, all of which
was paid to the Hamilton Avenue
Church, for which the little girl was
soliciting subscriptions. The letter was
read in the church on Sunday, and ex-
cited no little curiosity.

ALL FOR THE BEsT.-Dr. Johnson
used to say that habit Of looking at
the best side of every event is better
than thousand dollars year. Bishop
Hall quantity remarked, For every
bad, there might be worse; and when
man breaks his leg, let hen be thank
full that it was not his neck" When
Fenelon's library was on fire, "God be
praised" he exclaimed, " that it is not
the dwelling of some poor man This
is the true spirit of submission,-o of
the most beautiful traits that can possess
the human heart. Resolve to see this
world on its sunny side, and you have
almost half won the battle of life at the
outset.
