Then they told him that
thousands of poor men, wo
men and children slake their

he hoped that ON some sultry

Two Roads to Happiness.

There are two wnysOf being
happy; we may either dimin
ish our wants. or augment
our means-either will dO-the
result is the same; and it is
for each man to decide for
himself and do that which
happens to be the easier. II
you are idle, or sick, or poor.
however hard it may be to
diminish your wants, it will
be harder to augment your
means. II you are active and
prosperous, or young, or in
good health, it may be easier
for you to augment your
means .han TO diminish your
warts. But II you are wise,
you will do both at the same
time, young or old, rich or
poor, sick or well; and if you
are very wise, you will do
both IN such a wav as toaug
