The ditti-rence between a happy
persmi and a miserable one is large
ly a nutter of appreciation. The
lormer sets ihe mercies and bless
ings and opportunities of his life,
and enjoys ihcni; the latter does
not si e litem. It isn't that there
are more ol them in the one case
ih.in in the other; indeed, strange
as n may seem, it is quite frequent
ly the oilier way. Some very un
happy people have a great many
tilings that ought to help to make
then, happy, while others contrive
sonii how io enjoy life reasonably
well t .ii decidedly slim pocketbooks
and a mtag r menu of opportuni
ties. Nearlv every man's life
would seem to have the possibili
ties 1 1 real happiness in ii if only
he could ne brought somehow to
see and use the ihings that make
life happy. The miserable person
is not ihe one who hasn't this" or
thai or the other," bui rather the
one u ho hasn't yet learned the art
of living happily.
Can we do anything at training
ourselves in this direction? That
is an important question, for we
cannot feel that to go through life
with a smile on our face and song
in our heart is a reasonable and
right and Christian thing to do.
And if we are not doing it, is it not
a fact that not only are we robbing
ourselves of something that heaven
clearly meant for us, but we are as
well spoiling our lives of much of
their usefulness? Since the world
began an an unhappy man has
never been a very useful or inspir
ing one.
It is possible for us to do some
things at schooling ourselves into
happiness. It may not be easy to
do, and we may not succeed in our
efforts all at once, but the end to
be gained is surely worth some
struggle and persistence. It will
help some, indeed it will help very
much, it we will consistently and
persistently try to keep our thought
upon the mercies and blessings
and opportunities of our lives, op
portuniiies thai, even at the lowest
estimate of them, are so many and
so wonderful, and that, if rightly
seen, ought 10 till us with apprecia
tion and gratitude and zest, the
very materials out of which real
happiness is built.
1 know not what sunshine lights meadow and stream
I dwell in the shadow, with you and a dream !
A dream o' the years, with their hopes and their fears,
And the garden whose roses are rimmed wiih Love's tears!
How strange ihe world echoes, that drift to me, seem,
I lere in the shadow, with you and a dream !
Tor the world will have dreamers, as Day,
That hide in their sad hearts the sweet dreams away;
Dreamers of tresses once kissed and caressed
As the winds o' the world tossed them over Love's breast !
A light in the darkness a blur in the beam,
They hear in Time's valleys the steps of a dream.
And Life, with its wisdom, seems little of worth,
For the sake of a dream that brought heaven to earth;
That peopled the thorny and desolate sod
With the lilies of light and the angels of God !
Oh, heaven itself but a shadow shall seem,
Lost to the joy of a beautiful dream!

Sending Wedding Present Knew
Quite Well What Her Sister
Would Need in Time.
"What a peculiar choice for a
wedding present," remarked an
Lnglish-woman, trying not to laugh
as she inspected a huge flatiron
which her charwoman had just
purchased.
"Aim it, ma'am?" said the char
woman. "It's my sister that's
getting married, and I'm repaying
her for the gift she sent on for me
on my weddin' day."
Did she send you something
very ugly, then?"
"Deed, no, ma am. Her s was
beautiful present. But, you see,
ma'am, a Ifnle bird whispered to
me that her future husband's a
man of violent temper, ami i
thought I'd send her something
that would be useful in case of
family disputes. She has the
straightest aim with a flatiron I
ever seed!''
