THERE is scarcely an evil

THERE is scarcely an evil in life we cannot double by ponder ing upon it. A scratch will thus become a serious wound, and a slight illness be made to end in death, by the breeding appre- tensions of the sick. On the other hand a mind accustomed to look upon the bright eide of all things will repel the mildew
 and dampness of care by it's gen. ial sunshine. A che erful heart paints the world as it sees it, like a sunny landscape. The morbid mind depicts it like a sterile wilderness. And thus life like the chameleon takes it's shades from the soil upon which it rests. Cheerfulness keeps up a daylight in the mind, filling it with perpetual serenity, and is of itself an offshoot of goodness.
