Laughter.

After all, what a capital, kindly
honest. jolly, glorious good thing
Is Il laugh! What a digaster !!
What febrifuge! What Is. set
tier of evil spirits /! Better than q
walk before breakfast, or Il nan
before dinner. How it shuts the
mouth Of malice and opesss the
brow of kindness! Whether II dis
covers the gums of infancy or age,
the grinders of folly, or the pearls
OF beauty, whether 1t Ss the
sides or deforms the couu nance
of vulgarity, or deep unes the
visage, moistens the eye Of refine
ment--in all its phases and oa all
faces, comforting, relaxing, over
w%helming, throwing the human
form In happy shaking and quak-
ing Of idiocy, end turning the hui
man countenance into something
appropriate to Billy Buttons
Transformation, under every cir
cumstance, and everywhere. =
laugh Is a glorious thing 1t leavex
no sting, except in the sides, and
that soon goes off. You cannot
gravely contemplate q laugh. II
there Is one Laughter and one wit
ness, forthwith there are two
laughers. And SO on. The cinvul-
sion Is prOpagated IKE SOUND
What q thing 1t Is when it be-
comes epidemic!
daughter ! It's a poor man plaster,
Covering up each sad disaster.
Laughing, he forgets his troubles,
Which though real seem but bubbles
Laughter whether loud or mute,
Tells the human kind from brute.
Laughter it's Hopes living voice,
Bidding us to make . choice,
And all to Gull from thornybowers.
Leaving thorns and making flowers.

The Art OF Living With 9th
GFQ.

It is not we'll for us to cherish the
habits Of dwelling much on the faults
and shortcomings Of those with whom
We live. 1t makes US more critical than
generous. It effects the cordially q
u manner toward them. It insensi-
bly, lessons our confidence. It interferea
with the delicious ease aud freedom Of
our intercourse with them. 1t colon
the remarks that we make about them
to others, and then reacts with double
force upon our own feelings and our re-
lations to them. 1t is said ofthe virtu-
u woman, whose price is above rubies,
that the law Of kindness is in her tongue.
But in order to be in the tongue it must
FIRST be in the heart, and the habit *
dwelling much on the im~perfections Of
our friends and associates will o o drive
it from us.

WiII Gov.:Hayes Resign.

NEW YORK, June ia Cincin-
natl Special says /: whether or not
Gov. Hayes will resignth governor
ship Of Ohio at once, has already be-
come a question Of much interest to
the republicans of the State. The
habit Of the Gov ernor has been when
a candidate for one Office to immo-
diately resign whatever other one he
might happen to hold, and II he fol-
lowed his own inclinatiOns he would
undoubtedly do SO under the law OF
the State there would necessarily be
an election for governor in October,
for it is provided that il the Office OF
governor become vacant for any rea-
son thirty days before the day Of the
State election, it shall be filled at
that time by populur suffrage. The
republicans do not want the embar-
easement which would be caused by
the election Of a governor this year,
and are already seeking so to con-
vince Governor Hayes that it Is his
duty to retain his present Office until
late in September, SO that Lieuten-
ant Gov. Thos. l.. Young can le-
gally succeed to the position and
hold it until the expiration Of the
term for which governor Hayes was
elected. The governor has not given
any indication of his determination
in the matter, but his intimate
friends say he will accede to their
wishes, and not resign the present
place until the time indicated"

Co-Operation Of the VIE.

No married man ever prospcred
IN the world without the co.opera-
ton of his wife. If she unifes in
mutual endeav0rs, or rewards his
labors with an endearing smile,
with what confidence will he re-
sort to his daily toll, meet difficult
ty and encounter danger, ii he
knows that he Is not spending his
strength in vain, but that his la
bors will be rewarded by the
sweets of home. Solicitude and
disappointment enter the history
of every mans life /; and he is on
~ half provided for his voyage
who finds but an associate for hap
py hours, while for his months of
darkness and distress no sympa
thizing partner is prepared.
