POET OF MANY VERSES.

An Aneedote of PeIIegrin, an Eight
zenith Century Bard.
The impecunious French poets of the
middle eighteenth century used to con-
sort at the cafes, where sometimes
they would pick up customers. One of
the worst and at the same time the
most facile Of the bardS was Pelle-
grin, Of whom characteristic story is
told in can Eighteenth Century Mar
quise." One day a newcomer entered
the cafe and began complaining that
he was going to be married and had
no epithalamium for his wedding. Pei
legrin fastened to offer one of his own
compositions. A deal was soon ar
ranged, and the price agreed upon was
20 sous verse. The poet disappeared.
The bridegroom was presently accost-
ed by q stranger, who began a con-
versation on various subjects and sud
denly sale:
"By the by, my friend, what price
are you paying PellegrinY'

"No"-doubtfully-"not if you fixed

mium?"
Tomorrow morning."
Tomorrow morning. cried the
stranger. "Why, you must be rolling
in money!
"What do you meanw
THAT you will have to pay for at
least thousand verses"
"Oh, what fraudr' exclaimed the
bridegroom and rushed off to find Pei
legrin in his attic. The versifier had
just completed his hundredth verse.

An Incorporating Enemy to HeEpi-
ness and to Health.

An incorporating Enemy to HeEpi-
ness and to Health.
It is law that every state Of mind,
whether good or bad, affects every cell
in the system and is outpictured in the
body, says Orison SWEET Marden in
Success Magazine. We are thus the
arbiters Of our fate through our
thoughts, emotions and passions.
The time will come when we shall
know how to refresh ourselves by
mental chemistry-that is, by holding
in our minds the antidotes of the
things that have wearied us or vexed
US, by holding the mental attitude
which will neutralize the thought enc
mics that have thrown our bodies into
confusion.
There is nothing so deadly to happi-
ness as mental discord. 1t paralyzes
the thinking ability and destroys the
power Of concentration and effective
ness.
All diseases and sickness of what
ever kind are the outpicturing of some
form of discord. IT the mind is kept
as happy as possible it is difficult for
discord to get foothOld in the body.
A happy mind is the best possible
health producer, disease killer and
discord destroyer.
For centuries mans happiness was
looked upon by many earnest, think
ing people as a condition largely be-
yond his control. They seemed to
think that it depended mostly upon
the temperament one happened to de-
velop and that there were other things
Of SO much more Importance that we
should not consider 1t too seriously or
take precious time to cultivate it d.
rectly.
We are beginning to find, however,
that even as an economical invest
ment ii pays Immensely TO make a
business of being happy and being
just as good to ourselves as possible,
although not In a selfish way. We
could not be good to ourselves in the
higher sense by being selfish.
