CHEERFULNEss.
Learn TO laugh. A good laugh is
better than medicine. Learn how to
tell story. A well-told story is as
welcome as sunbeam in a sick room.
Learn to keep your own troubles to
yourself. The world is too busy to
care for your ill and sorrow. Learn to
stop croaking. you cannot see any
good in the world, keep the bad to
yourself. Learn to hide your pains and
aches under a pleasant smile. No
body cares to hear wheather you have
the earache, headache, or rheumatism.
Don't cry. Tears do we'll enough IN
novels and on the stage, but they are
out of place in real life. Learn to
meet your friends with smile. The
goUd.humored man or woman is al
ways welcome, but the dYspeptlc or
hypochondrisc is not wanted anywhere,
and is a nuisance as well.
RECREATION.
1t cannot be denied that amusement
of some sort is necessary for the due
sustenance OF healthy human life. We
want more than mere sleep and rest
for the reireshment of our bodies and
our minds. That Is the most dreary
existence which, beyond its support
by food, knows no alternative besides
slumber and toll. However interest
ing work may be there
must be very few who fell no appetite
for some diversion which has received
the significant name OF "pastime"
(passtime), when an hour or so is de-
voted to an occupation which brings no
money, and creates no article of use.
The playground-e e., In which no
educational lessons are glven-is as
essential a feature of the good school
as the classroom. And this is no
mere necessity OF childhood. Through
out the whole course of life the demand
remains for an occasional relaxation
from the interests of calling which
should be unlike sheer repose, and
however grateful dreamless sleep may
be, should be marked by an expendi-
ture OF attention or activity which adds
nothing to the material possessions of
the man who is thus exercised.-W
Req. HAIRY Jones, in Good Words.
A TRUE STORY.
Talk about heroism !! Doesn't this
make your blood tlngle with admira-
ton? 1t is true story and is preser-
we'd in the records of the Bodleian
Library, at Oxford. 1t is of 10y of
Bridgeworth. The tower door of St.
Leonard's church, in that town, was
one day left open, and two boys wan
de1irrna in were tempted to mount up
into the upper part, and scrsmole ler-om ron
beam TO beam.
All at once a joist gave way. The
beam on which they were standing
became displaced. The elder has just
time to grasp 1t when falling, while the
younger, Shipping over his body, caught
hold Of his companions legs. In this
position the poor lads hung, crying
vainly for help, for no one was near.
At length the boy clinglng to the
beam became exhausted. He could
no longer support the double weight.
He called out to the lad below that
they were both done for.
Could you save yourself if l were to
loose your replied the little lad.
l think l could, returned the elder.
Then good bye, and God bless you !
cried the little fellow looslng his
hold.
Another second and he was dashed
to pieces on the stone floor below,
his companion clambering to place
of safety.
HE WAS TERRIBLY DRY.
One hot Sunday morning, as the
worshjppers from little country church
were slowly vending their way towards
their homes, burly old Devonshire
