Give Cheerfulness a Chance.

Cheerfulness is a much rarer quality than is generally supposed, especially among the rich. It was not common even before we learned that, in spite of Browning though God may be In his heaven, nevertheless, all is wrong in the world. If “most men lead lives of quiet desperation,” as Thoreau says they do, it is, I suspect, because they will nf-t allow cheerfulness to break In upcm them when It win. A good disposition 1S worth a fortune. Give cheerfulness a chance and let the professed philosopher go hang.—A. Edward Newton, in the Atlantic.
