looked along the gutter that day, there was
no ball there. He took his nose out of the

giraffe looked again, but it wasnt there,

CULTIVATE JOYOUSNESS.

Recently there has been notable return
in our popular literature to the brightness
and inYousuess which are, after all, the
predominating feelings Of the wholesome
minded man. 1t behooves every hopeful
person who believes in the ultimate good
ness Of Gods world to help on the move
ment which claims for laughter and rejoic-
ing as true and pure place in the econ
ony of the universe as tears and doleful
shallngs of the head. The sooner the
Puritan idea of severity and restriction
and unshakable gravity being an index to
virtue is undermined the better for the
preservation of healthy balance among
human facilities. Let us accept frankly
the truth that the good in us bubbles over
quite naturally and harmlessly into laugh
ter and frolic, and on occasion even into
tlippancy. Good taste will tell us when
the surroundings of our life or the lives of
Others make such effervescence out OF place
and will warn us against forcing unnatur-
ally the pace of gayety. Besides, we shall
learn that the extreme of nimble spirits
brings its own retributon in the form of
exhaustion and growing complementary
sadness. We advocate no such extreme,
but only press the point that the light and
airy phases of our moods are to he thank

to be frowned upon as unworthy and mis-
leading.-New York Ledger.
