It is like a gift newly bestowed on the earth. So in life there come stormy days and dark days. Ueinember that they will jiass just as surely; they cannot last forever. Y'ou are disaiipointed in something, and perhaps that particu lar wished for joy will never come to you. Hut It may bo that .something else just as good Is on the vvay, some thing even better, it may be. Sorrow and disappointment aro assuaged with time, and other things enter Into life that make it good, even as the clouds break up and flout away and the softer light shines through at sunset. So there is always a worse that might have been. The dark days aro for introspection, for remembering that few troubles aro as heavy as they seem Sunny days, bettor things, are at hand that will come with cheer and healing like tho welcome rays of Ih'.- sun.—.^:ilwaukeo Journal Recipe for Ghosts.
