HEERFULNESS easily be formed into a habit; habit, well | % established, becomes character; and character is nothing less than) Destiny. And of all the habits that a person ever formed that of cheerfulness is the most beautiful and the most profitable. There are assets and assets, but the grandest asset that any man | can have in this old world is the faculty that enables him always to look on | the bright side of things, A young man and his sweetheart, the story goes, were passing a lumn- ‘ver yard that was situated by a rather foul-smelling river. “How good those pine boards smell,” said the girl. “Pine boards!” answered the srouchy Romeo, “Just smell that confounded stream!” “No, thank you, replied the young woman, “I prefer to smell the pine boards.” And the girl was right. Our life here on earth has well been called a “piebald miscellany” |\Y reat, big Grab-Bag, it were, filled with every sort of thing conceivable, | |/ and it is up to us to learn the art of getting out of it the best and most desirable prizes, | The acquirement of this art is by no means diMcult, On the other | hand, it is easy, very easy, if we will only have it so. If we want to smell the pine boards, why, there they are; but if, on| ‘the contrary, it is our desire to.smell the foul river, with its multitudinous | malodors, there it is, waiting to sicken us to our hearts’ content. | The great world dramatist makes one of his characters say: “It is not| 4n our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings,” and we may legiti-| mately extend the idea to include this truth, that we have ourselves alone | to blame if we happen to have the miserable habit of furever smelling the | things that mako us sick. | One of the dear old preacher-poets of the elder time used to delight | fn saying that “More servants wait on man than he'll take notice of;" and @ greater truth was never spoken. What a beautiful world this is if we will only look at it out of eyes that are free from the jaundice of cynicism and indifference, The Beautiful is everywhere, ready to glint at us most bewitchingly from every point of the compass, from every nook and corner of things, if! twill not reveal herself. And how are We to g ady for the visions that shall make us glad lad as the little childr e at Christmas time? First of all, we must BELIEVE in them, and then we must sincerely DESIRE them Unfaith and suspicion are the upas trees in whose dead ‘will not reveal itself. Was sweetheart’s love ever yet won by mockery and grimaces, by sus- picion and mistrust? Not since the world has stood has such miracle been worked; nor while the world stands will it be worked, And equally certain it 1s that not since man and Nature have dwelt to- gether has the Old Mother ever admitted to the cabinet of her treasures the ‘child that has approached her with « sneer on his lip and a cowardly dis- ) “rust in his heart. ans thas 1s on of ft 6 pusoion aoms, Ther Ore te treet oe Nature pays to simple faith and earnest desire, ob eee ere eae { By theology, by philosophy, falsely so called; by mock science, by dry- as-dust systems of logic, we may succeed in reducing ourselves to the state of mental atrophy in which we shall be blind as a bat to the lovely and the inspiring; while by simple, unsophisticated love and trust we bec eutomatically, as it w universe.
