Definition Of Statesman.

The popular conception Of states.
man Of the first rank is that he is n
man who Is wise i'm all that pertains to
government; that he is discreet. self
contained, and well balanced; that he
never allows his prejndices to run
away with his Judgment; that he is
dignified in manner and practices al
ways that sobriety Of speech which ia
most becoming in men of exalted posi-
ton. This was the American ideal for
many years. Perhaps it is the ideal
even now Of the majority OF the citi-
.zens Of this republic, albeit times have

A Toast to Laughter.

Here's to laughter, the sunshine Of
the soul, the happiness Of the heart
the leaven Of youth, the privilege Of
purity, the echo Of innocence. the
treasure of the humble, the wealth Of
the poor, the bead Of the cup of pleas
ure; it dispels detection, banishes
blues, aud mangles melancholy: for It's
the foe OF woe, the destroyer of depres-
sion, the enemy OF grief; it makes
kings envy the peasants, plutocrats
envy the poor, the guilty envy the in
nocent: it's the sheen on the silver Of
smiles, the CLINT Of the gold OF gladness:
without it humor would disappear. and
smiles would shrivel, for it's glow Of
clean conscience, the voice of pure
soul, the birth cry of mirth, the swan
song OF sadness. Laughter.-Life.
