These Things Forgot.

If you would increase your happiness
and prolong your life, forget your
neighbors' faults. Forget all the SLAM
der you have ever heard. Forget the
temptations. Forget the faultfinding
and give little thought to the cause
which provoked it. Forget the pecu-
liari,ies of your friends. and only re-
member the good points which make
you fond of them. Forget all personal
quarrels or histories you may have
heard by accident, and which, if re-
peated, would seem a thousand times
worse than they are. Blot out as far
as possible all the disagreeables of life;
they will come, but they will only grow
larger when you remember them, and
constant thought of the acts of mean.
ness makes you more familiar with
them. Obliterate everything disagree
able from yesterday, start out with 3

things which are lovely and lovable.
