Diffusing Happiness.

"Some men move through life," wrote Henry Ward Beecher, 'as . band of music moves down the street. flinging out pleasures on every side, through the air to everyone, far and near, who can listen., Some men fill the air with their presence and sweet ness, as orchards, in October days, fill the air with the perfume of ripe fruit. Some women cling to their own houses like the honeysuckle over the door, yet, like it, fill all the region with the subtle fragrance of their goodness. How great bounty and a blessing is' it to hold the royal gifts of the soul that they shall be music to some, and fragrance to others, and life to all! It would be no unworthy thing to live for, to make the power which we have within us the breath of other mems joy; to fill the atmosphere which they must stand in with a brightness which they cannot create for themselves"
