Tho cheerful heart and the cheerful smile are in themselves ample proof of the good health ami spirits of him who possesses these attributes ami makes lise of them.

In fact, it is much less wearing to tlie countenance to smile than it is to frown. Kven-tunlly, Kven-tunlly, frowns become furrows and lend to the facial expression an uyiy aspect. On the other hand, a smile promotes the beauty of the human face, and (uite often it renders a plain face a reallv handsome one. o much for the smile that lias its own reward.
