en- regie, and passed on.
Directly behind him two women

Shortly after the geutlomnn came

Checriulness,

Cheerful people nro impervious
to the hurts and stings of daily life,
Nothing takes thero happiness
from them. There are some persons
who spend there livcs in this world
as they would spend them if in n
dungeon Everything is made
gloomy and forbidding. They go
mourning and complaining from day
to day that they have 30 little, and
are constantly anxious lest what lit
tie they have should escape out o
therc hands. They look always up
on the dark side, and can never en-
| JOY the good that is present for the
evil that is to come. The industri-
GUS bee does not complain that there
arc so many poisonous flowers and
thorny branches in his road, but
buzzes on, SOLICITING the honey
where he can find it, and passing
quietly by were it is not. There is
enough in this world to complain
about and find fault with. if men
have tho disposition. We often
travel on a hard and uneven road
but with a cheerful spirit we may
walk therein with comfort, and come
to tho end of our Journey in peace.
