How He had Learned It.

Sunday-school Teacher—What has our lesson to-day taught us ? Little Boy—Than we must shun evil. Teacher —But we are told that money is the root of all evil. Now, what further does the lessen teach? Little Boy —That we must shun the evil and grab the toot.—Pittsburgh .» . The bright sppts of a man's life are few enough without blotting any out, and since for a moment of mirth we have an hour of sadness, it were a sorry policy to diminish the few raja that illuminate our cheokered existence. Life is an Aprk day—sunshine and showers. The heart, like the earth, would cease to yield good fruit were it not watered by the tears of sensibility, and the fruit would be worthless but for the sunshine of smiles.
