OW to be a healthy, happy tenant is tersely and persuasively | H set forth in a publication which the Tenement House Depart-| ment and Charity Organization Society are circulating among | the tenement dwellers in the city’s crowded districts. } Bath tubs, light rooms, with plenty of chance for air to get in, ‘fresh paint, white or cream colored, instead of germ-laden wallpaper, are some of the things opartment seekers are urged to demand. Bimple rules of cleanliness and good housekeeping are laid down. A @hapter on fire prevention points out the crime of letting rubbish accumulate in closets and rear stairways. This latter section should Ge elaborated and displayed on posters in red letters an inch high. The relations of Jandiord and tenant are explained, with a let of things about which the Jatter has a legal right to complain. Ten- @nte are urged to make friends with the uniformed Tenement-House Snepector and tell him their troubles. -- The city can well afford to spend money on this sort of instrue- tion and to back it up with a round of visits and suggestions from feagents. But while the tenants are being educated, why not put out _, @hother pamphlet to make plain What the City Expects of Ite Land- 5” Yords?

UPPOSE that your life has become full of trouble and that without knowing what you were doing you have fullen into some snare which either public or private fortune has set for you and that you can neither untie it nor break it, then remember that fettered men suffer much at firat from the burdens and clogs upon their legs; afterward, when they have made up their minds not to fret ~ about them but to endure them, necessity teaches them to bear them brave- ly and habit to bear them easily. In every station of life you will find amusements, relaxations and en- joyments—that is, provided you be willing to make light of evils rather than to hate them, Knowing to what sorrow we were born, there is nothing for which Nature more deserves our thanks than for having invented habit as Qn alleviation of misfortune which soon accustoms us to the severest evils. No one could hold out against misfortune if it permanently exercised the same force as at its first onset. We are all chained to fortune. Some men's chain is loose and made of gold; that of others is tight and of meaner metal; but what difference does this make? We are all included in the same captivity, and even those who have bound us are bound themselves. One man may be bound by public office, another by wealth; some have to bear the weight of illustrious descent, others of humble birth; some are subject to the commands of othe me only to their own. All life is slav- ing. Let each man therefore reconcile himself to his lot, compiain of it as little as possible and lay hold of whatever good lies within his reach. No condition can be so wretched that an impartial mind can find no compensa- tions in it. Small attes, if ingeniously divided, may be made use of for very different purposes, and arrangement will render ever so narrow a room habitable. Call good sense to your ald against difficulties. It ts possible to soften what is harah, to widen what is too narrow and to make heavy burdens press less severely upon one who bears them skilfully.

Some upon our pleasures ahd the re- mainder runs to waste. What a deal of time is it that we spend in hopes and fears, love and revenge, in balls, treats, making of interests, suing for of- fice, soliciting of causes and slavish fiatteries, The shortness of life, I know, 1s the common complaint both of fools and philosophers—aa if the time we have were not sul! nt for our duties. | But it is with our lives as with our estates—a wise man makes a little go a great way; whereas let the revenue of a prince fall into the hand of aj prodigal and it is gone in a moment. So that the time allotted us, if {t were well employed, were abundantly enough to answer all the ends and pur- poses of mankind, but we squander it away in avarice, drink, sleep, luxury, ambition, fawning addresses, envy, rambling voyages, Imperfect studies, change of councils and the like, and when cur portion is spent we find the want of it, though we gave no heed to {t in the passage, insomuch that we | have rather made our life short than found It so. You shall have some people perpetually playing, whistling, humming and talking to themselves, and others consume their days in the composing, hearing or reciting of songs and lampoons.
