ROADS TO TRUE HAPPINESS.
we Should Not Underestimate Small
Deeds and Should Forget the
Small Worries.

Happiness comes through the quiet
acceptance of the talent, temperament
and task that God hath appointed. Tn
able to add one cubit to the stature, or
make one hair white or black, man is
also imrotent to alter his Eirth-gifts.
Through hercdity our fathers chose the
llfG-Work for us, and try aS VIC may we
cannot aiiGr their choice, though we
can break our hearts. To-day one part
Of society is making itself miserable
Through an ovcrcstimate of great deeds
and an agonizing desire to do str;ll-
ing things. Yet struggling and agoniz-
ing never did anything worth while.
The first sign of great piece of work
is the ease and swiftness with which it
was done by him appointed for the task
Another part of society destroys happi-
ness by Understanding small deeds
and duties.
Gods mountains are not made out of
huge chunks of granite, but out of
minute flakes of mica. Size has moth
ing TO do with the valued work, and
man cannot be happy until lie sIIrrcn-
ders his will and cheerfully accepts
the one talent or two, or ten, counting i.
honor enough to do his appointed Wtr,t
more perfectly than any other can PCS
sibly do it. We do not need great anc;
splendid things, but that common
things shall be lifted up and illumina1-
ed by quiet and beautiful spirit.
One of the secrets Of happiness is
found in the habitual empha: i; { f. Ia1:.-
ant things and the persistent cGa;ing
aside of all malign elements. We lave
read of scientist who could not walk
through flower garden and see busl,
covered with roses without ca~efUIIy
selecting the cue blightcd E:o%scm
Thus many pass through life, - ;ccting
the one unfortunate event Of ;he day.
and, lifting it up, they cast - ci3o:.:
over all our hours. Experts tell us Il
watch is not impaired by running. nor
q man by working, but rust will spoil
the watch, and worry will consume
mans faculties. The medical schools
Of tomorrow must reckon with the
mental causes OF disease as truly as
with microbes and germs.
The street-swcepers fill their wag-
ous with dirt, litter, old paper, broken
boxes ard tin cans, and cast all this
rubbish into the soil. But Nature re-
members only the good. She searches
cut the single grain of wheat: she
nourishes it to q golden sheaf; she asks
the rags and iron-rust to lend n rich
gold 10 the yellow grain. No man can
afford to remember the fears, the wor-
RIGS and the misfortunes of his career.
Strange that the soul should rehearse
its sorrows instead of it's joys.-Rev.
Newell Dwight Hills, in Ladies' Home
Journal.

BRosT NOT KNOWN HERE.
Identity of the Man Injured in New
York a Mystery.

Special dispatches from New York
announce the fact that Jacob BrOst. a
retired Scranton butcher, was found
yesterday afternoon on the Bowery in
badly injured state. He was found
near McCurk's notorious dive. and it
is believed that he was violently
pushed out of Jacob Hentz's cafe at
II First street
The man fell on the sidewalk ana
was badly injured by the shock. He
was taken to the Bellevue hospital,
where it was learned that his skull was
fractured.
Although Brost said he resided in
Scranton, diligent inquiry failed to re-
veal any one belonging to the man in
this city. A man named Jacob Brobst
conducted a butcher shop on North
Main avenue. about year ago and
has since moved to Nanticoke. Aside
from this fact nothing has been
learned regarding the victim.
