THE BRIGHT LITTLE Girl

Her blue eyes they beam and they twin.
kle,
Her lips have made smiling more fair;
On cheek and on brow there's no wrinkle,
But thousands of curls in her hair.
She's little-you don't wish her taller;
Just half through the teens is her age;
And baby or lady to call her
Were something to puzzle sage!
Her walk Is far better than dancing:
She speaks as another might sing;
And all by IN innocent CHANGING
Like lambkins and birds in the spring.
Unskil!ed in the airs of the city,
She's perfect in natural grace;
She's gentle, and truthful, and witty,
And ne'er spends thought on her face.
Her face, with the fine glow that's in it,
As fresh as an apple tree bloom
And, y, when she comes. in a minute,
Like sunbeams, she brightens the room.
AS taking in mind as in feature,
How many will sigh for her sake!
l wonder, the sweet little creature,
What sort of wife she would make.

Learn to Laugh.

There ought to be societies formed for
the encouragement Of laughter. A real
laugh is not common, for it must be
remembered that smoker Is not q
laugh.
The Puritans were inclined to frowb
upon laughter as frivolous, and there
fore wicked. Life was very grave
affair to them. an almost constant
struggle for existence, and they had no
time to make merry. The frs. two
centuries Of their national life were
busy years. Privations were many;
and the Indians were almost continu:
ally on the warpath. 1t Is small won-
der, perhaps, that they rarely enjoyed
a hearty laugh.
Philosophers and cynics sneer at
laughter. Goldsmith (who was always
laughing tells us Of 1.-THE loud laugh
that spoke the vacant mind" and the
scornful Bryon says, "And II laugh at
any mortal thing, tits that may not
weep"
Many people are afraid to laugh be.
cause they think 1t common, so they re-
press their merriment with smile.
They do wrong. Nature evidently
intended % to laugh, or children would
not know how. Laughter Is healthy
and provocative of good morals as welt
as of good health. Hamlet says that
lone may smile, and smile, and be q
villain" and so one might; but no one
could laugh, and laugh, and be .
villain.
To smirk, grin, guffaw, or smile il not
to laugh. A good, whole,souled, hearty
laugh is a panacea for many Ills, and
worth q Doctors prescr1ption.-Golden
Days.

Lord Kelvin.

James Thomson, the father of the
eminent Lord Kelvin, was the son of o
farmer in the north of Ireland. He had
few outward advantages, but his in.
born thirst for knowledge conquered
all the difficulties, and he became a
thorough mathematician and professor
of mathematics in the University Of
Glasgow. Lord Kelvin, though not
childish, Is Of that childlikeness of char.
acter regarding which it was said, OF
such is the kingdom Of heaven" 4
writer in Good Words sketches the dis.
tinguished professor as follows:
He has one strange popularity. While
the higher mathematics are as easy to
him as the alphabet, he often appears
puzzled when a sum is presented to him
in ordinary numerals. A question Of
simple addition placed in this way on
the board will sometimes lead to the
query being put to the class or to an as
sistant, with certain funny look Of
helplessness, How much is that?"
His power Of abstraction Is extraor-
binary. He Is never without his note
book, which he carries in his pocket
and produces at the most unexpected
times.

country house, in a crowded drawing
room, with all the jabber of converse.
ton going on in full food, sitting with
his note book, and filling page after
page with intricate calculations. seek
ing the solution Of some problem which
awaited investigation.
He can do this in railway carriages,
and in storm at sea, as calmly as in
his library. He will get himself prop
lped up in the corner Of his cabin and
set to work. and become so absorbed as
to be unconscious that there has been a
gale blowing while he was at work.
And yet, If recalled to ordinary life
by some passing questioner his gentle
face lights up with interest, when 9TH
ers, more self-conscious than he, would
display irritation. Indeed, I never
knew a man less self-conscious.
He Is absolutely without affectation
or any thought Of self-importance. He
will converse with a nobody In a man
ner SO respectful and attentive as to
make that nobody Imagine that he him.
self has been delightfully."- interesting
and even informing to Lord Kelvin.
This arises from the simplicity and
sweetness Of great nature.
