THE CHEERFUL HABIT.

Nobody contributes more largely to
the general good than one with a
hearty sense of humor
Troubles disappear at his approach
and under the magic influence Of his
contagious geniality cares and worries,
which seemed so heavy, become light
as air and mere cause of smiles. One
with sunny, hopeful, humorous ma
ture is like a physician during a
plague. 1t is not possible, for every
body to be witty or humorous. 1t is
Just as reasonable to counsel people to
be poets or to be beautiful as to urge
them to be wits or humorists. Wits
and humOrists are born, not made, and
there is hardly anything more melan-
choly than the person without any
sense of humor or "A grain of wit vain
ly striving to win applause and dul-
ling the edge of patience.
Franklin said that no fools are so
troublesome as those who have wit,
and those who with unreasonable jests
make light of serious and sacred
things. If we cannot all add to the
fund of good humor by lambent
flashes" of wit and the beautiful,
gracious charms of an Oliver Gold
smith or a Mark Twain, it is never
theless within the power of all to take
a cheerful view of things and to cul-
tivate our own good humor.
Our temperaments are made for us,
but our habits are of our own making.
All good humor and cheerfulness are
largely habits. \ cheerful frame of
mind comes with desire and deter
mination to be cheerful and the habit,
like all other habits, grows with time
and use. Whoever cultivates the cheer
full habit will find his reward in his
own happiness. which will grow as lac
perceives how much his cherefulness
and good humOr add to the happiness
of others.
