" How to be happy," is a yerx cotinnoi,
heading to an article addressel to the
3oung. I have seen it in theiPapCr so
often that I'shoUld not think Of writing
upon it. But I believe Thayeneer seen

to be miserable.

Don't want to be miserable? !Hot l y so 7
Theo why do you: take such pains to, be
miserable? rcannot think how a child
ur a youth, who is free
: from eiire : and
trouble and trill of buoyant spirits, can x ,
miserable without trying very hard to be
so.: But as I have seen a great many
young per Sons who not only sebmed' de
:ermined to make themselves Itiise)Table
but:. everybody . around them alai,. I
thought, perhaps, they would thank rue
for telling them bow they may db it
easier. :
In the first place, if you , wish, to be
miserable,be•selfish. _Think all; the time
of yourself and of your own thin.ds: Don't
care about anybody else. Have no feel
ing for any one but yourself. Neyer think
of 'enjoying the satisfaction of seeingoth
ers t.appy; but , rather, if you see a smil:
inn. face, be jealous lest anothe i r should
enjoy what you hare, not. Envy cyery
one,that is better off in any respect than
yourself; think
