MEDAL FOR GOOD NATURE.
Youth in School Receives Unusual
Recogn itfon for Amiahilify
and Urbanify.

A medal for pure and unmiti gated
good nature was awarded, not many
days ago, to youth in a public school.
He had not made a noteworthy record
for progress in learning; he had not
even reached point beyond the aver
age among his fellows; he had simply
eclipsed them all in anna bility of the
kind that accepted rewards or punish
ments with urbane and equal philoso-
ply, says Harper's Weekly. And the
fact that a medal was deemed not too
honorable for him under the circum-
stances is significant evidence Of the
high esteem in which good nature is
held. How it does oil the creaking
wheels of life to be sure! How smooth
it makes the path! What a comforts
able and comforting companion truly
amiable person is, if he is only a dog!
When everything and everybody else
have ruffled one the wrong way, and
made every individual set of injured
feelings one possesses stand up like
quills upon the fretful porcupine, how
soothing to step into the atmosphere
of the amiable person! Serenity en-
ters, peace sets in, you laugh, he
laughs, the world turns rose-colored
again. Amiability accomplishes what
no sermon could. It is an immea sur
able influence for good. It is, there
fore, with satisfaction that we note
the presentation of a medal to the
good-natured boy. Why would it not
be valuable custom to introduce into
all our schools?
