ADVANTAGES of Audible LAUGHTER.

Man is the only audible laughing ami
NAL in existence. Girls giggle, boys te-he,
women hah- ha, and men haw-haw. These
are the spontaneous outbursts Of jollity.
and in trying to suppress it one cannot be
accountable for the consequence. You
have the faculty of communicating to
your blind friend the reciprocal pleasure
of life, therefore you have advantage over
the most intelligent of the brute creation.
No dumb animal has the faculty Of ex-
pressing any emotion they may feel save
the dog, who laughs with his tail as his
long absent master returns; it seems as
If he would never cease to wiggle-waggle
his tail and nibble his masters beard from
one ear to the other; he laughs with his
tail, kisses, as it were, with his teeth, and
caresses with his paws. seeming to be the
exact converse of human nature. Be sure
that heaven and all the cherubims are
better pleased with mate goodness, rose
ate with smiles, than face as long as
your arm and as solemn as the day of
Judgment. Give US a bright. smiling
face, Indicative Of the effervescence of the
within. 1t helps US to enjoy passing
hour Of blissful happiness. A new delight
steals over the heart. and we willingly
yield to the aeeting. fanciful dream that
all of earth is surest bliss.-New Yorf
