a Sunny Temneament.

The man of cheerful temperament
raises above all earthly ills. If his break
fast is late and he misses the train, he
hangs around the depot and tells stories
until the next train comes aloug; if his
wife is cross he laughs at her till she be-
comes good natured again; if his child
ern break all the window-glass in the
neighborhood, he makes light of it; if he
fails to be nominated, he rejoices over
the defeat of the man who is; if the cleo
ton goes against him, he talks about the
weather and laughs at those who carry
long faces; in short, if you haven't got
sunny temperament, cultivate one, if
the soil is deep enough,

those Of the many thousands OF a common
people, and the occasion which called for
such sentiments as is painful in its rcCollec.
ton and as fully deplOred by the people Of
the South as by those OF any other section.
The unanimity with which these resolu.
tions were passed, and the expressions
conveyed therein speak more than any
words OF mine, and you can rest assured,
Madame, that in them Is voiced the tribute
OF all the old soldiers Of the South to the
sterling worth oil the late President"
Mrs. Garfield with great effort repressed
her emotion, while the old mother OF the
hlte President wept violently. Both'ladies
were clad in the deepest mourning.

trembling with emotion, replied to the ad-
dress Of Gen. Wither's rs tollowE
GENTLEMEN: ! am very grateful 10 YOU

you express.
The two Mesdames Garfield then ex.

their admiration Of the frame to Mr..
Knisse, its maker, who said:

Gen. Withers added: "And moreover we
want TO show these Northern politicians
that we ex.Confederates are not as black

The younger Mrs. Garfield responded:
ut had always been the Generals greatest

earnest desire WAS to see a united country,
and had he livcd-(here her grief overcome
