One bit of common sense Comfort"
by Charles Dickens is worth remember
ling:
Nothing can be won without anxiety
and care.
The men who learn endurance are
lthey who call the whole world brother.
How much great minds have suffered
for truth in every age and time!
u The hardest and best-borne trials are
those which are never chronicled IN
Iany earthly record.
81 l know that we must trust and hope,
!, iand neither doubt ourselves nor doubt
| the good in one another.
This world is world for action, not
for moping and droning in
Things cannot turn up of themselves.
, We must in measure, assist them to
, turn up.
Cheerfulness and content are great
t beautifiers, and are famous preservers
; of good looks.
81 Many happy new years, unbroken
friendship, great accumulation OF
: lcheerful recollections, affection on
earth, and heaven at last, for all of us.

2 the Select Friend" may be found as
4 desirable here as on the Mainland:

Joke as often as possible.
# Put your best foot forward.
= Have faith and struggle on.

. clouds.
: Think, after ALL how short life is, and
20 make the best of 1t.
t, Walk erect like an honest man, not
l. stopped over like a thief.
N Consult Mark Twain rather than
So Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy"
=. Pay your bills promptly, and that will
u help some other struggler in the battle

a. Find one more unfortunate than your
IN self, and content will find the place of
US complaint.
r. Dress neatly Some men foolishly
O. suppose the harder up they look. the
= more sympathy they will receive. 1t is
u just the reverse.
