Testimony to the Value Of
JolIity In Life.

The value of good. natured laugh
may be rated low by some people;
but many writer's have attested its
worth in no measured terms.
II is not surprising that Charles
Lamb should have said, "A laugh is
worth a hundred groans In any mar
ket;" but from the lips Of the somber
Carlyle one is scarcely prepared to
hear, mo man who has once heartily
and wholly laughed can be altogether
or irreclaimably bad"
II was Douglas Jerrold who boldly
stated that, What was talked of as
the golden chain of love was nothing
more than succession of laughs, a
chromatic scale of merriment reach
Ing from earth to Olympus"
Il am persuaded wrote Laurence
Sterne. that every time a man smiles
but much more so when he laughs-it
adds something to his fragment OF
life"
Last of all may be cited the verdict
of Oliver Wendell Holmes. given with
his own inimitable humor, The riot
out tumult Of a laugh, take 1t. is the
mob law of the features. and Pro-
priety the magistrate who reads the
