The art of Being Happy.

trIoiu iL9 New OfteaIs H1cIyune.J
There Is deal of misery in the world !;
three-tourths of 1t is entirely unneces-
sary; there is no real cause for 1t. The
greater part OF it might be bauished from
the earth if people willed to do It. We
borrow most of our troubles; they are
imaginary rather then real, we have
never learned the art of being happy.
dow many there are III the world who
are surrounded with plenty; who have
home comfort and conveniences; who
have health and friends; who have good
companions and good children: who are
respected and possess fair characters and
cherish many Christian virtues and are
yet quite unhappy, discontinued with
Wi h Atssar lot and disposed to find fault
with almost eterything.
Toall such people we would say. study
the art of being happy. There is such
an art; it can be harmed and applied TO
life. Every one eau have and apply it if
he wills to do it. 1t is no difficult art;
no more difficult than the art of reading
or writing. ltrequires only a firm reso-
lHtIOn, a steadfast and determined viii,
a spirit of perseverance,.
But to begin. Take then a better view
of life. count up your blessings; look on
the bright side OF things, not on the
dark side; cherish good temper; speak
pleasantly toevervone you meet; by your
sweet speech and'suhuy character draw
out the good traits Of your friends and
acquaintance; wear a smiling face; har-
Dor no Ill viii; think no unkind thought
of anyone; keep a sunny heart and life
will be sunny; think of the virtues of
those you love; find excuse for their
faults; be hopeful; labor to be good ond
TO 90 good, and the art of being happy
will soon be learned.

AhOuI Farm GnseS

Have as few farm gates as possible.
Each one is an expense IN its construc-
ton and subsequent care. Itnever pays
to make poor gate. The frame should
be constructed OF hard and lasting wood,
with the Stats of light but durable ma
terlal. This gate needs thorough brac-
ing with strips of wood, or better, rods
OF iron, which run from the bottom of
the latch and to the top OF. the hinge
end. A gate thus braced cannot sag, as
1t is impossible for it to get out of the
rectangular form. When fiuished, a
gate should be painted. The farm gate
should be wide enough to permit the
free passage OF loads of hay and grain,
field rollers and harvesters.
A most important point is a large,
durable and well-set post, upon which
the gate is to be hung. The hinge-post
should not be less than eight inches
square, and set at least three and half
feet deep. The earth needs to be
rammed firmly around the post. A
tirst-c.ass gate Is very expensive at the
outset, but needs very little attention
afterwards for several years. american
