Checrfulness and Mirth.

Il have always preferred cheerful
ness to mirth. The latter | consider
as an act, the former as habit of the
mind. Mirth Is short and transient,
cheerfulness fixed and permanent.
Those are often raised into the great
est transports of mirth who are sub
1ect to the greatest depressions of mel
ancholy. On the contrary. checrfulness,
though 1t does not give the mind such
exquisite gladness, prevents us from
railing into any depths OF sorrow.
Mirth Is like flash of lightning that
breaks through gloom Of clouds and
gIitters for moment: cheerfnlness
keeps up a kind or daylight In tho
mind and fills 1t with a steady and per-
petual serenity"-Joseph Addison.
