I will give you two or thri'e good rules tvliicli may help you to IsM-ome happier than you would be without knowing tlie.n; hut as to being completely luippy, that you cuu oever be till you get to heaven. The llrst is, "try your best to make others happy." "I never was happy," said a eortniu king, "till I begin to tiiko pleasure lu tin. welfare of my people; but ever since then, iu the darkest day, 1 have hud sunshine lu my heart." My second rule Is, "Tin content with little." There uro many good reasons for this nil". j deservo but little, and "lietter Is little w ith the fear ot God, than great treasures mid ;roublo therewith." Two men wore deter mined to !..) rich, but they set about it In dif ferent ways j fur the one strove to raise his means to bis deiflru, wl. ilo the ther did his best to bring down his desires to his tncmiss. 1'ho result was, the one who coveted much was always repining, while ho w ho desired but little was always contented. My third rue- , "Look uu the autiuy sldo of tilings." "Look up with hopeful eves, Though all tilings seem forlorn; The sua that sets to-night will bo Again to-morrow morn." Tho skipping lamb, the singing lark and thu leaping dsn tell us that liuppiness is not I'oiillucd to one place: (bid iu his goudiel has spread it alirond on thu earth, iu the u:r uud iu tho waters. CAlTloN IS Jl'DUINO.- Wlille Hannah, the mother of Samuel, was offering up a silent prayer to heaven, at Slii loh, she became uu object of rush nil 1 iiudmt reprehension. Lli, the high priest, suppos ing her to be intoxicated, hastily said to her. "How long wilt thou be drunken?" To this tovcro eoiiMiio Hannah replied, "No, my lord, I am a woman of sorrowful spirit;! have drank neither wine uor strong drink, but have poured out my soul Uluru tho Lord." This rash nnd unwarrantable Judg ment of F.ll is left on record iu order to tench us to be cautious in lorming and ex pressing our opinions respecting the char acters and states of others. Tho ground uu which we build our judgments should al ways Po such Intimate knowledge aud care ful observation pronounce to he solid, or, ilk Eli of old, we may precipitately eoiidciun what Jehovah approves, uud offend against the generation f the righteous. Certain it is our knowledge of tho exercises and feelings of others is utbest very circumscribed. '1 he heart lies concealed from our view ; it Is known to (iod only. Hence, we shall always bo exposed to error unless we conform to tue rule of Judgment prescribed in the lilvlue Word. Hypocrites will deceive us, and wo hull be deceived ill (iod's children.
