Cheerfulness. •• A merry heart is a continual least.'' It is quite f'asliiutiable to abuse this life, byway of manifesting a strong desire to enter upon tho life to conic. It is not un frequently regarded as clear proof of a frivolous, it not wholly bad, state of mind, jto be cheerful and sportive. It Is afiiinied that this world is a 1 vale of' ttars,' a ' howling wilderness,' a ■ sin cursed state," and we art: taught to long for removal from I if, and to regard such lunging as evidence of a pious heart. Against this whole phil osophy 1 must earnestly protest, for it i seems to u:e not only productive of much unhappiness but also ungrateful to Heaven: instead of showing piety, it seems to me ' the most clear impiety. Do we show our love for a friend by depreciating the value ! of his gifts to us, by constantly finding fault with his mode of expressing his in terest in us? If it he ingratitude to re quite the beneficence of an earthly friend with complaining criticisms, is it gratitude to murmur at the state in which our dear est heavenly Friend has placed us, so full of gilts and mercies that we cannot rightly know how to enjoy them all ? The com monest. comforts of life, tho fresh air, the warm sunshine, the friends of the orchard and the harvests of the field, are not these good enough to make us deeply thankful and wisely glad? And, then, the richer gifts; friends who share our hearts' affec tions, doubling our joys and lessening our griefs; the means of intellectual culture, schools, teachers, books, all science of earth, and sea, and air, and sky ; and above all, and Lest of all, those gifts of love and faith which draw our souls away from the 'things that perish with the using' ami kindle our aspirations for whatsoever is pure and good and true on earth and in heaven ; antl the unspeakable love which the ' Glad Tidings of great joy' reveal to man : shall not the thought of all these make within us a hearty thankfulness, and cause us to be glad in the conciousness of being so tender ly cared for and so wisely loved ? I do not forget the couutless annoyances to which all are liable; the petty trials, the needless vexations, to which the thought lessness of others may often subject us.— Nor do I overlook the weightier burdens of sorrow which frequently press all comfort from the heart, the loss of some dear friends," the wreck of others, and the self consciousness of imperfection and sin.— These are sad realities; but, in spite of them all, the sun still shines benignantly and the showers fall with blessiug in their drops, declaring in unmistakable language the continued love which yet pervades the universe and pours out lavish joys. It is easy to write thus and to feel thus iu the freshness aud new life of Spring; it seems easier noYV than at most other seas ons, to believe in the wisdom and watchful care of Heaven, to have a sunny heart and a cheerful countenance. But every other season aids to make the Spring so welcome, just as Spring and Summer combine to crown Autumn with the golden harvests and ripened fruit, and the marvelous beauty of the ' visionary tints the year puts on' when the magic wand of the frost waves over mountain and field. \\ e are wont to ' act like children, who are good-natured long as their parents furnish sweetmeats liberally, but cry and murmur when these are withheld. Our fuitli is very firm when everything goes to our liking, but let a little cloud dim our sky and we petulantly declare that it is always dark, that the small amount of sunshine we have is given only to make trie succeeding gloom more intense arid unendurable. A good day, warm and cheering, cannot be rightly en- I joyed because it is only a'weather breed erf 'sure to bring on a storm, and prophecy j oilier disagreeable occurrences. We arc not babies, by any means; but we <-,. all i their pupils. Their sucet -s will l c very [ greatly increased il they are themselves thoroughly cheerful. This naturally does ! away with the harshness in the schoolroom, but not at all to t lie diminution of good or- ! de,\ Cheerfulness is nut opposed to firm ness and perfect regularity. A person who cannot govern without harshness is not j qualified to have charge of a school. A I wise cheerfulness is sunshine in the school ; room, and the teacher who exhibits it is ' Heaven appointed to the delightful ta.-k of! rearing the tender mind. Truth Stranger than Fiction. A \ unkee pedlar who had stopped in a ! cofile house to refresh himself one hot day, 1 heard a very strange old gentleman remark, ! in an answer to a friend, who had been re luting some marvelous stor}-, said to be true, j " truth is stranger than liction.. v: o Jon- I athan stepping up and slapping the aston- : ished gent on the back, said : ' \uu're mistaken right thar, old boss, j 'taint so—and to prove it I'll wager you ! juleps for the crowd that I can tell you one ! fiction that'll just go ahead of any truth you ever heard tell on.' 'Good;' said the old gentleman, 'id like to hear any fiction that can go ahead | of Christopher Columbus.' 'Pshaw! Christopher Columbus ain't a circumstance,' said Jonathan, ' but here ' goes.' ' Onct I was standing by a big river in Sahara desert that was dried up. The sun shone so all fired hot, that I was obliged to tie my handkerchief over my eyes to keep from bein' blinded ; and as 1 was standing thar, 1 happened to look down the river, and seed a big boat without any bottom come floatin' up stream, with a hull lot of fellers on her; one of 'em had no eyes, another no arms, another no legs, and the j last chap, in the stern of the boat, had no mouth 1 Gosh ! I never seed .sucli a sight before. 1 was skeGred like blazes—and just stood and looked at 'em. Presently the chap as had no eyes looked down and saw a cent piece at the bottom of the river, and the feller who had no arms bent over and picked it up, then handed it to the chap who had no legs, and he jumped out of the boat, waded to the shore, went to a grog shop that wasn't thar, bought a pint of whiskey and handed it to the feller as had no mouth, and he drank it up ; and all the rest got drunk—and the last I seed of j 'em the feller as had no mouth was singin' ' Hail Columbia,' while the chap what had no legs was dancing; the no eyed chap was reading a text in the psalm book, and the feller who had no arms was clapping his j hands and waving his hat like blazes—and I leifc just about that time.' 'Juleps for the crowd, and charge to me,' roared the old gentleman, at> he bolted out of the back door. just, and fear not A Hard Sentence. A few years since, one Lindsev. fam-ms as a bold thief arid highwayman, i was ar raigned before the Criminal Court to an swer an indictment for highwayrobberv; to which charge, there being conclusive evidence again.-1 him, he plea 1 ' C. uiity ' The crinn was a very bold and atrocious act, denoting great skill in that, kind ol 'rough gambling,' as well us a vety a I n doned and wicked heart. At the close of the term Lindsey was 1 rought up to receive his sentence, win n Judge P . who is a great admirer ol honest industry, as well as an inordinate hater of such ' larapins' as Lindsoy, who subsist by thieving, proceeded to pass the sentence of the law upon him. Ills Honor commenced by reminding the prisoner that he Was yet a young man, possess, 1 with a more than ordinary share of endowments, sufficient, if well applied, to : ! ce him in the foremost ranks of honorable society.— He next informed him that, by his own plea, he was guilty of robbing, in open day and almost in the 'presence of th -.'-whole community—an old and helpless man oi h;s bai i earned money—a crime recogni zed by the law of the land as of the most abandoned and wicked character, hi re hcar-.ng this scathing prelude to the sen tenced of the law, the Judge, ;-.s is usual in such eases, got himself very much warmed up, so that when he eame to close his re marks with the sentence, he found our Mate institutions somewhat mixed up in his mind ; for, said he ■ Lindsey. I .shall -tnteneo yen to seven yens in tho Pennsylvania Legislature' ''lhe penitentiary, your Honor,' sug gested the prosecuting attorney, who was standing by. lhe Judge accepted the correction oi the prosecutor, muttering, at the same time, something about tlm ' very little difference.' A titter ran around the bar, when the matter was dropped for the pros cut; but Judge P frequently heats oi his sentence upon Lindsey. -1 C- inci'lenec. —When the Massachu setts troops gut to Annapolis, the other day. there was a locomotive that was much need ed. out of repair. A letter writer says: Pol. Butler knowing the peculiarities of the Yankee and suspecting that he might have a machinist under his command, put the inquiry. Six men answered. To one he gave directions to examine the engine and see if it could he put in order. The man looked at the disabled tnon.-fcr, and a light ol recognition came in his eve. ' I know this work,' said ho, lovingly patting the sides of the boiler: '1 made it my self.' And sure enough, in the proper place appeared his name. There was a cheer for the good omen of the incident, and with ringing hammers and the rude tools at hand, the locomotive was shortly in condition, showing that though Baltimore may try to destroy New England in gener al, and Massachusetts in particularistic can make whole again at the shortest notice.
