VALUE OF CHEERFULNEsS.
Like Sunshine, 1t nlumines the Dark CO..
ners of Life.

Like Sunshine, 1t Illumines the Dark Coz
ners of Lie.
Cheerfulness is a great tonic. 1t is
light and air to our moral nature; and
to be without it is to be without some
thing that answers to the mind for
what clothing and shelter are to the
body. Yet it is not, in its noblest sense,
spontaneous, or a mere attribute; there
is conscious desire and an effort to be
so.
For true cheerfulness does not turn
the back on the evils of life; neither is
it the selfish 'I-care-for-nobody" of the
Miller OF Dee. There is happiness of
no genuine kind in such indifference; it
is only pressing down the pedal that
deadens all the tones of life. Neither
does Sydney Smiths advice, to 'take
short views of life," express it. For
cheerfulness does not refuse to look for
ward, because it is the popularity of a
brave soul-a soul that has no present
bugbears it cannot face, and none be-
hind it that it cannot turn upon.
Cheerfulness never broods. If trouble
or vexation can be helped, it looks at
once for the remedy and applies it; if it
cannot be helped, itaccepts the inevita-
BILE, as the brave accept calamity, quiet
ly, with calmness and resignation.
Cheerful people are busy people. Cheer
full people value whatever is their own;
they do not disparage either their work
or their position. Cheerful people have
no mysteries or secrets; for cheerfulness
is like the sunlight it illumines the
darkest corners.
Constant laughter is not cheerfulness;
it is more likely to be the expression OF
| folly. Send us hence thousand miles
from face always parading itself in
smiles and giggling Anybody can
laugh but to look bright, with all the
muscles at rest, betokens glad ac-
habit of taking things at their best, and
making the best of them.
Discomfort brings doubt, and doubt
sets the soul drifting like dismantled
ship. Hamlet's mood, the gloom of
Pascal, or of Oberman, did not cut the
knot of their perpleXities, or find any
answer to the spirit of their discomfort.
The great open secret of life is not so
learned. IT abides with that true re-
ligion that needs no aid from theories
Of an intellectual malady; with the
cheerful fulfllment of the duties of life;
with love, labor and content These
things bring cheerfulness, and lead men
and women to join that happy multi
Lude who have never asked themselves
whether Life was worth living" for
the multitude, happily, have an un-
doubling catholic sense of the blessing

doubt it, and whatever is exceptional is
generally unhealthy. The cheerful 90
not wary from the kindly race of men,
end they find in their cheerfulness u
specific of which doubters and grnm-
blers cannot rob them; a light which
briRhtens the all-day-long days; turns
"Eyery weed into flower;
Turns each thistle to vine;

THE PASTURE.
A Prime Necessity on Every well-Regu-
lated Farm.

Prime Necessity on Every Well-Regu-
lated Farm.
Any agricultural people who under
take to sustain themselves permanently
without pasturage will learn their mis-
take if they keep on in that line. When
science, art, theory and practice, history
in all ages, common sense and the ex-
perience of every agricultural country
in the world, combine to show that
there can be no permanent agricultural
prosperity without pasturage for beasts,
why will men continue to struggle on
against every dictate of prudence and
all the evidence bearing on the subject?
Plenty of grass, wide expanses of it
not the thinly-scattered natives, which
are often worthless, but the very best
that can be had for each locality is
what is needed.
Animals must be fed; but feeding
does not pay when it costs more than
the animal is worth Grass is ALWAYS
the cheapest animal food, and the best
for the purpose of producing meat, but
ter and milk, and also for work ami
mails. Keeping stock is necessary to
the maintenance of the fertility of the
SOIL This stock must be fed, and pas
turage is at once the best and cheapest
feed. Under some conditions, feed can
be more cheaply produced by tilIage,
but this is where land is dear and
scarce, so that not enough pasturage
to support the animals desired can be
afforded. But where there is land
enough for, say, forty or fifty-acre
pasture, and as many good cows or
mares and colts as that amount of grass
will sustain during the pasturinp sea-
son, and enough land besides to raise
the grain food and family sustenance re-
qulrea on the farm, the proprietor has
IN his hands a most independent, pleas
ant and certain living, with all the
comforts that pertain to such life, with
the least amount of labor. On all we'll
ordered farms at least one-fourth the
land should be so pastured as to furnish
all the hay that may be needed when
green pasture is out of season. Hay,
per acre, is fully as valuable as cotton,
and far more profitable, because the
labor and expense in producing it is less
than that of any other crop. 1t is main
tanned by stock-raisers of experience
that neither cattle, horses nor hogs can
be proitably raised without pasture,
and, as rule, the greater the proper
ton OF pasture the greater the profit.
Grass is the foundation for the future
prosperity of the south. Let us spend
less time and money in killing this great
benefactor and give some of the same
work to the making of grass grow

COUNTY NEWS.
Two AIlc9any Editors.

The Baltimore SIM sketches the
members of the Maryland Editorial
Association in Thursdays issue
among them Col. John w. a virett, Of
the Cumberland Times, and the editor
hereof. OF the former it justly says:
No editor in Maryland is more full of life
and energy and richer in resources than Mr..
John W. Avirett of the Cumberland Times
The Times enjoys a large circulation, not only
in Cumberland, but in the populous mining
towns of Allegany county, and will soon put
in perfecting press, the first in any of the
counties of Maryland. Mr.. Avrett is the son
of the Rev James b. Avirett, of the Episcopal
church. He first went to Cumberland from
Montgomery county as clerk for the X. d..
Johnson milling company. Since he became
editor Of the Times the paper has greatly inn
proved, and 1t is now recognized as one of
the most interesting and sprightly papers in
the State, full of local news.
The SIM pays a deserved compliment
to the miners of this region. The
sketch of the editor hereof is correct,
except that the statement that he
"bought the JOURNAL in 1872 is
somewhat misleading. AS matter of
fact, he has controlled the paper since
the day it first appeared. He is its
founder and its only editor.

Notwithstanding the cold weather of the

Business is, if anything, growing gradually

comparatively insignificant. Transportation

The outlook for the bitumnous trade is
