February 28, 1861.—When the mem- bers of the Republican Association met at the Wigwam tonight, the most noticeable object in the hall was a large placard standing against the wall behind the chairmen’s desk, reading as follows: ‘Recruits Wanted!

T'm seated in my garret, nine stories from the ground, communing with my parrot, which makes a doleful sound.

Its beak seems growing slacker, and languidly it cries, “Oh, Polly wants no cracker, and Polly wants no pies.” ‘Then comes the learned physician who lives across the hall; he says, “The grim morticlan will get you, after all; the bird to which yom're talking is deadly as a snake, and microbes fierce and shocking are trailing in its wake.

C,, : |DorothyDix| = Happiness Is Largely a Matter of Self-Hypnotism, And You Can Think Yourself Happy or Miserable—Ten Rules for Happiness. Fma'r Keep well in body and mind. The basis of all happiness is good health. No one can be joyous with a jumping toothache, or a rheumatic knee, or bright and cheery and optimistic with a dyspeptic stomach. A sage once said that whether life was worth llvln( or not ded upon the llver and it is a truth that half the misery in the world could be oured Frazzled nerves and stomachs cause more divorces than drink and vamps combined. Eat well. Sleep well. Get plenty of exercise and fresh air and you will never be a trepe-hanger. Keep your mind heflthy Refuse '0 entertain its. Avold self-pity as you would do) Don't always be asking g * should this misfortune have bef: n me?” Rather ask: “Who am I, that I uld be spared the common fate of humanity and escape all suffering?” It is up to us whether we are sunk by our griefs, or rise superior to them. Second. Don't hold postmortems. When a thing is done, it is done. It is finished. Forget it. Don’t waste any time on vain Don't blot out your sunshine by letting your mind dwell on past storms. ‘Don't, spoil your appetite for the corned beef and cabbage that you have today by recalling the caviar and quail yon once feasted upon. Don't keep the wells of bitterness Alwnyl bubbling up in your heart by recalling old grudges and old wrongs. If you have done a wrong, right it as far as you can. If you have sinned, npflnt it. Then lock your skeleton closet and throw away the key. Don't waste the balance of your life in holding profitless autopsies on your misdeeds. Gieie . 'HIRD. Don't borrow trouble. Never hunt for trouble umtil trouble hunts for you. Half of the t-hlnr that we live in dread of happening to us never happen at all, and those that do happen are not half so bad as we thmlr they were golng to be. It is anticipation that makes cowards of us. The reality we have the courage to bear, ‘Worrying is the most profitiess uslnz in thu world, yet half of us spoil the happiness we might have by flulfl some ill luck that might some time possibly betide us. We can't enjoy our prosperity for fear we might some day be poor. We can't enjoy our children for fear they might turn out badly when they grow up. We can't enjo; ’ood dinner for rur n ml:ht give us indigestion. We can't enjoy a journey for fear the train m run off the track. It is borrowing trouble at compound rates of interest t bankrupts us, Fourth, Keep busy. Work h '.hn only ml mfldm for unhappiness. The only happy people are those who find some ial occupation and find such i { it that they never even notice the mu- gln pricks of fate. It is the idle who have time to hunt for the cfumpled rose leaf under their 40 mattresses of ease, and who find out that they have temperaments and nerves, snd that they have missed their affinities, or are not appreciated, or something. Pifth. Live within your income. trz Youp with the Joneses is as good & way as any to start in pursuit of trouble. As long as you spend less than you make and have a little methlflf laid away for a rainy day, you are free, independent, and can look any man in the eye and can tell him to go to. But the minute you begin spending more than you make, you are harassed by debts, you are burdened.down by anxieties and fears and you become the slave of those you owe. There never was a happy home yet where the bill collector was always pounding on the door P S)x‘m ‘Dont suffer needlessly. Hd( of us .:h‘e lfl&!flbh because we haven't gumption enough to deal intelligently with situations in which we find ourselves.
