An tquallv good and uselul faculty is a sense ol humor, or the capacity to have a little fun along with the humdrum of lite. We all know how it brightens up tuirgs gen erally to have a lively, witty companion, who seet the lidiculnus points ol things, and who can turn any annoyiinee into an occasion lor laughter. It doid a greut deal bet'er to laui,b over some domestic niU haps than to cry or scold over them. Many homes and lives are dull becsusc they are allowed to beenmo too deeply im pressed with a semu ol the rurn and re sponsibilities ol lilc to recogn;zu, its bri-l.t aud especia'ly its mirthlul, side. Into such a houtchold jjold, hut dull- ttie advent ol a witty, bumoioua Irieud is like sui.shim to a cloudy dav.

It is well to turu off an Impatient question, sometime!, and to regard it frwtn a humor ous point of view, insteid of becoming ir ritated ahout it.

His wi'o looked at him steadily for a mo ment, ball inclined to be provoked; then, with a comical look, she replied; "I sever could guess conundrums, I must giio it upl" Then he laughed, ami lliey D0111 laughed, and she went and got his shirt, and ha felt ashamed of himsell and kisred ber, and then sbe felt happy, and so what mialit have b en an occasion for li:irJ words and unkind leeliiiL'S became iust'tbe contrary, all through the little vein ! hu mor that cropped out lo the sur'ncc.
