"To "keep jolly" undor all provocation it, perhaps, a task which only Dickons' Mark Taplojr could perforin. We never have met Mark Tapley in oar experience of human nature, but we have seen him closely approximated, and jt would bo well if poo^ pie in general could approach moro nearly 'lift tinimitable character. ? phases, emergencies and ocoupaifons of human life, good temper is a commodity for which there is a great demand, but In those which bring an individual into daily eon* tact with others, it is porhaps in greatest demand and roost limited supply. To foremen in shops, and superins tendontB of large manufacturing establishments, good temper is a most valuable qualification. Indeed, this aftiolo was suggested by a notablo want of good temper, in the treatment of subordinates, by a foreman in an A A* vauiuiiBunteiiii rooonuy visuea Dy us. It was evident that this establishment was pervaded by a spirit of revolt, begotten by the brow-beating, insolont language and manner of the foroman?the men, who wore sulky and obstinate, being undoubtedly rendered unmanageable and restless by the total disregard of amenity In tho man placed over them. The best way is always to keep a cheerful heart. Take tho world as it goes, and the good- and the evil as they sovorally come along, without repining, if fortune frowns, with that philosophical ejaculation of Jaeob Faithful, "Better luok noxt time." It has boon rcmarkod that if a man wants to known his faults ho noma run tor an office; if he would discover bi? virtue.* ho hus only to die. 1 A Vf IFK OH TBB "OJTUATKHf."?

A man iq tbe hands ot himself is a lull grown gnarled oak, set, grown, finished, especially in those habits known as extravagant, yet so Jamil- 1 iar to him he calls them "actual necessities." The old man is an im- 1 mense old humbug. He habitually pulls the wool over the good wife's eyes. He is a book-keeper who is not asked by his partner to make out a balance sheet with itimized statements. If she would reouire such n * document every throe months, there would be leet said about the "extravagant habits of our wouion." Such a document, if trutthtuiiy written, would be rioh reading.
