The Blessing Of Fun.

As people, we are given to sobriety
OF demeanor. Mirthfulness and jollity
are hardly to be reckoned as among our
prominent national characterist cs; al
belt we are not without certain dry
humor and wit of our own, and know
the droll thing when we see it. But
we do not laugh very much. The stamp
that the grim and decorous Puritan,
and the stately and gracious cavalier
set upon our country when they landed
upon its shores, has never been re-
moved. .....
Not all the influx of streams from
many nations-jovial Germans, prodi-
gal Irish, passionate Spanish, mercurial
French, or tranquil Swede-has taken
from us, as people, the sober, grave,
steady, self-repressed exterior, which is
second nature with all English-speaking
folk; yet we are glad when we are
made to laugh in spite of ourselves.
The man who says funny things week
after week, in the columns of the vii
lage newspaper, waking up some fine
morning. finds himself famous. The
darling of the lyceum is the man who
successfully mimics the foibles and fol-
lies of the times, with a spice of fun
dashing the satire of his descriptions.
The ballad that sings its wayinto every
heart, has touch of drollery mingled
with its pathos, and the preacher whose
sermons are touched here and there
with an honest good humor, or streak
Of genuine mirth is sure to be sought
by the many. We all crave the rest
and recreation that lie in amusement,
and better than hundred prescrip-
tions from the pharmacopeia is the
tonic that fingers in hearty laugh.
The other gay, tired and disprted,
we took our journey homeward in car
about half full of people, who, like our
selves, were splritless and weary. An
