Happy Every Day.

Sidney Smith ent the following from a newspaper and preserved it for himself: “When you rise in the morning form the resolution to make the day a happy one to some fellow-creature. It is easily 1 done —a left-off garment to the man who needs it, a kind word to the sorrowful, an encouraging word to the striving-—trifles in themselves light as air—will do it at least once in twentyfour hours. And. if you are young depend upon it, it will tell when you are old; and if you are old rest assured it will send you gently and happily down the stream of time to eternity. If you send one person, only one, happily through each day, that is 365 in the course of a year. If you live only forty years after you commence that course of medicine, yon have made 14.600 beings happy, at all events for a time.” An analysis of matrimonial advertisements in Germany shows that three times as many women as men seek , partners in that manner; that women are far less particular about age Ilian men, but far more particular About family position ;. and that religious faith .is of secondary importance with most advertisers of both sexes.
