Nothing To Mak• us Happy
Many a mati and many a woman is
dissatisfied with life and continually
wishing themselves dead. They look
with envy upoh the success of others—
have no desire to succeed themselves,
and throw shadows upon time lives of
others by wirlong themaelve. out 01

have been thinking—thinking that
such persifne will not be happy in a
world where He who is Supreme lees

To be happy ie tO lire to a purpose.
With happiness life is a iiccesn. With
out it a failure. Yet people sneer at
those who try to be happy. Those
who love each other and rest like the
glories of a netting nun over field and

loving, and demonstrative in their al

about four years of age, with what was
supposed to be chills and fever, but
which bathed the 'kill of nurses and
physicians for more than two years, at
which time she fell into a nervous
sleep, from which she has not woke
since for a longer time than twelve
minutes. She usually sleeps soundly
from 11 o'clock st night until about 6

more than twelve, but usually about

The American System
The industrial class of the United
States have been the subject of a long
and interesting report by Mr. Francis
Clare Ford, Secretary of the English
Legation, at Washington. This report
was made in pursuance of a circular
addressed by Lord Clarendon, in April,
1669, to the *natio .anil consular
agent of Or at: 3ritan, initructing them
to report tit ii the condition of the in
dustrial cle in the countries to which
they were accredited. Ma. Ford says
that the American system of common
school education has clewed the con
dition of the native-born working man,
'v i nd has disposed him to prefer occupa•
none in which the exercise of the brain
is in greater demand than those of the
elbow, and assert that the steady influx
of immigrants for the last twenty years
has created s t aleinclination on the part
of the American to engage in the rough
toil of purely muscular labor, which
the r.ewly.arrived foreigner ie ready to
exert for hie support.
