The Value of Cheerfulness.

/ hold the deepest and most un-
qualified respect for any person who
is habitually cheerful.
Though be is plain to ugliness and
ignorant to boorishness, or though
he be as poverty-stricken as the
proverbial "Job's turkey" if be is
naturally and thoroughly and heatti.
Iy cheerful, be has more of the true
principle of earthly happiness than
was ever extricted from the mines
of Ophir.
Under Dickens pen tho irrepressi.
bic Micawber became hero and q
philosopher, not from any marked
achievement or talent, but purely
from the mans sublime ability TO
face the most humiliating reverses
with the same serene, unruffled ex-
terror.
What sugar is to coffee, so is
cheerful man TO neighborhood 10
which he lives. While the society
of which he is only a single member
is Belf-sustainlng aad independent
without him, it is much the pIeasan-
ter for being generally favored with
his influence. And who does not
know all about the" world Of good it
does us, when u score Of small an-
noyances sct 10 tide against us, TO
hear the .earty laugh and look into
the .osome fee Of our cheerful
neisabor.
q A talented author once said that a
cheerful disposition was more essen

pie prefer less talent and more gem

Beyond doubt laughter is

All really healthy people arc like

Kind words and smiles and genial

Cheerfulness is like the widows

more remains, and both the receiver

Jovial, sweet ,pure-heart-
cd people are charitable; they are
liberal ; they are not jealous. They
