Show Some one gives these directions for making life happy: "Take time. It is of no uso to fume or fret or do as the angry housekeeper who has got hold of the wrong key and pushes, shakes and rattles it about the lock until both are broken nnd the door is still unlocked. The chief secret of comfort lies in not suffering trifles to vex us and in cultivating our undergrowth under-growth ot small pleasures. Try U regard present vexations as you will a month bonce. Since we cannot get what we like, let us like what we can get It is not riches, it is not poverty, it is human nature that is the trouble, The world is like a looking-glass. Laugh at it and it laughs back; frown at it and it frowns back. Angry thoughts canker the mind and dispose it to the worst temper in the world that of fixed malice and revenge.. It, is while in this temper that most men j become criminals." j |
