HOW TO LOOK.
HINT with Your Eyes and Heart for That
Which Is Good aud Cheerful.

HINT With Your Eyes and Heart for That
Which Is Good aud Cheerful.
II seems TO you that you do not
need to be told how TO look at any
thing And yet, my dear girl, that is
exactly what You do need. You go out
into a world full of wonderful sights,
and of many people, and not knowing
how to look, You come back with just
as little knowledge as when you first
started out You complain of being
awkward, and yet you have never
looked out for the graceful people, that
you may initiate them. You talk of
seeing disagreeable faces, rude people
and unhappiness, but is it not because
you have not looked ont for the pleas
ant people, the goodness and the kind
ness of this world? You see some
body who is frowning, and you believe
that all the world is cross II is that
You are not looking at everything as
you should Every body gets that way
once and awhile. Sometimes because
some great trouble has come to them,
and everything seems dark and misera-
BILE; sometimes it is because one is not
well physically, and sometimes it is be-
cause one is not well morally
Now, if you will, you can get the bet
ter Of these feelings If You look not
only with the eyes in your head. but
with the eyes of your heart at the
world. you will find that there is a blue
sky ovsr your head, that the sun is
shining, and that all over the world
the golden-rod. emulating the sunshine,
is standing up from the grassy walks,
so that even when you look
down there is something to cheer you.
Then with the eyes of your heart
look at the worries and troubles of
other people, and, by comparison with
them, you will find your own burden
so light and your own back so well suit
ed TO carry it that satisfaction will
come. After you have done this once
do not look for the troubles again un-
less you can make them better; instead,
look out for that which is cheerful and
good, and seeing so much that is close
kin to hope and joy and love and hap
piness twill be reflected in your eyes,
and 10 many they will seem like the
eyes of the woman loved by a great poet
eyes that were immortaiized in song
by a great woman poet and called 1.-The
sweetest eyes that ever were seen. W.
