Genereus Souls.

Liberal poople are generally happy people, and get more enjoyment of what they have than folks 6f churlish minds. Misers never rest till they are put to bed with a shovel. "They often get so wretched that they would haug themselves, only they grudge the expense of a rope. Generous souls are made happy by the happiness of othei s. The money they give to the poor buys them more pleasure than any other that tliey lay out. I have seen men of meagp give coppers, and they have been coppery in everything. They carried on a tin-pot business, lived like beggars and died like dogs. Others, who gave freely of their means to others, were happy and cheerful through life, and, dying as Christians should, felt that they had not lived in vain.
