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 </• act
remarkably like very small children in Mime
matters, and this is one of them. We
tincture the minds of those voun-rer than
ourselves by ill natured remarks; by com- 1
plaining ol" what is beyond our reach, and
therefore foolishly mourned, or of what we j
ran remedy and consequently uuyhl (c
without any murmurs. We do much to j
render the world v hat we are wont to call
if, 'a dreary prison,' by our insen* bility to j
the multitudinous charms which kind Xa- I
tare decks the earth, by our neglect of the
• minor morals,' cour'v-y, simple kindness '
oi speech and action.
This is a subject well worthy of the at- \
tention et a!!, but especially imperative in !
its claims upon parents and teachers. The !
former can do much to give direction to
the tone of mind of their children ; the !
latter of their pupils. 1 would not have j
children frivolous and thoughtless, but
sportive, joyous, innocently gay: it suits I
their age and the natural flow of youthful
spirits. Teachers would confer a priceless 1
boon upon their scholars if they could in- j
duce the habit of uniform cheerfulness, of .
patient endurance under suffering, of prompt
acquiescence in anything contrary to pre
vio ;s desire or expectation, ol' steady good
n Tare in all circumstances. This is a prac
tical matter of no mean importance, and ;
teachers should labor to qualify themselves j
no less fully for the proper training of their ;
pupils in regard to habits of thought and ac
tion, than for tho best discipline of a school
in respect to order and recitation. It is not
pretended that teachers can make sulky dis
positions wholly amiable, or render all their :
scholars permanently gentle and cheerful; ;
but by keeping tkisobjoctin view, by improv- I
ing favorable opportunities, much can be j
done to promote thehealthv {•><-,. 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

' \uu're mistaken right thar, old boss, j

fiction that'll just go ahead of any truth
you ever heard tell on.'
'Good;' said the old gentleman, 'id

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

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

A Hard Sentence.
A few years since, one Lindsev. fam-ms

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

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 next informed him that, by his own

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

time, something about tlm ' very little

when the matter was dropped for the pros

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.
