Things to Forget.

If you would increase your hap
piness and prolong your life, forget
your neighbors' faults. Forget
the fault finding and give a little
tho't to the cause which provoked
it. Forget the peculiarities of
your friends and only remember
the good points which make you
fond of them. Forget all personal
quarrels or histories you may have
heard by accident, and which if re.
peated would seem thousand
times worse than they arc. Blot
out as far as possible all the dis
agreeables of life; they will come,
but they will grow larger when you
remember them and tho constant
thought of the acts of meanness,
or, worse still, malice, will only
tend to make it moro familiar with
them. Obliterate everything dis
agreeable from yesterday; start out
with clean sheet for today and
write upon it for sweet memoly's
sake only those things which are
lovely and lovable.
