How TO be Happy.

Many Of as miss the Joys that mGht
be ours BY kecping oitr eyes fixed
on those of other people No one
can enjoy his own opportunities Tor
happiness While he Is enyions OF
another's, We lose great deal Of
the joy OF living by not cheerfully ac'
cepting the small pleasures that come
TO us every day, instead Of longing
andS wishing for what belongs TO
others. We do not take any pleasure
in our own modest horse and carriage
because we long for the automobile
or victoria that some one else owns.
The edge is taken off the enjoyment
of our own little homo because we
are watching the palatlal residence or
our neighhor. We can get no salts
faction ont Of trolley ride into the
country or sail on a river steamer,
because someone else can enjoy the
luxury of his own carriage or yacht
Life has les fun measure OF happiness
for every one of us, If we would only
make up our minds to make the very
most of every opportunity that comes
our way instead of longing for the
things that come our neighbours way.

tened casually.
