consider the misfortunes of others and
undue attention to the imaginary
woes of the poor pessimist himself.
Strangely enough, unhappy folk are
confined to those circles of life where
poverty and privation are the COM
mon lot of all A far greater per-
ccntage of nisanthropsts is found
among those possessing what are
usually considered the good thing of
this life.
Save the great army of unfortun-
ates who, despite arduous illy-paid la
down in misery
bor-or lack of labor-are ground
down in misery and unhappiness, the
average human being gets about his
fair proportion of veal and woe.
There are extreme cases, of course
those who know nothing but suffering
and privation from birth until death,
and others who live without suffering
and privation from birth until death,
and others who live without rue or
reckoning-but the former are not
common, and we never can audit the
accounts of the latter sort with life.
Above all, don't be a killioy. Re
member that smiles accomplish more
than frowns. And the pessimist
would do well to pattern by those who
act upon this rinciple.-Selected

Mass at st. Vincents church Aat 6
o'clock, with splendid attendance.
Considering that it, is Just the first
day of the school yeafs, theSnumber of
