CULTIVATE CHEERFULNESS.
Do Not Allow Your Disposition to
Sour?Face the Sunlight.
No matter how disagreeable
your work, or how much trouble
you may have this year, resolve
- that, whatever comes to you or
does not come to you, you will
keep sweet, that you will not
allow your disposition to sour,
that you will face the sunlight no
matter how deep the shadows.
** The determination to be cheer-.
ful will discourage multitudes of
little troubles that would otherwise
hafass you.
* If you cannot get rid of a trouble,
do as the oyster does with
the grain of sand that gets into
the shell and irritates it. Cover
it with pearl. Do as you would
with an ugly rock or stump on
your grounds. Cover it with ivy
or roses, or something else which
will beautify it. Make the best
of it.
You can make poetry out of
the prosiest life, and bring sunshine
into the darkest home;
you can develop beauty and grace
amid the ugliest surrounding.
It is not circumstances, so much
as altitude of mind, that gives
happiness.
"Nothing can disturb his good
nature," said a iyan of one of his
employees, "that is why I like
him. It does not matter how
much I scold him or find fault
with him, he is always sunny,
He never lays up anything against
me, never resents anything."
That is recommendation enougl
for anybody. No wonder this
man did not. want*to nart witt
such an employee
Who can estimate the value o:
a nature so sunny that it attracts
S everybody, repels nobody
^ - Everybody, wants to get neai
mm*"' ^ ' sunny "people^ everybody lites fc
\Jr know them. They open, withoii
effort, doors which morose na
tures are obliged to pry opei
with great difficulty, or perhaps
can not open at all.
I know an old man who has
had a great deal of trouble anc
many losses and misfortunes
but he started out in life witl
a firm determination to extract
just as much real enjoymenl
ii'uiii ii?, as ne went along, as pos
sible?not in dissipation, but in
wholesome recreation and fun,
He has always tried to see the
humorous side of things, the
bright side, and the duty of hap
piness.
The result is, that, although
this man has had more than his
share of sorrow in his career, lie
lias developed the inestiihable
faculty of making the best of
every situation, and of always
facin'g the sun ^ind turning his
back to the shadows. This life
habit of cheerfulness anil optimism
has brought out a sweetness
of character, and a poise and
serenity of mind which are the
envy of all who know him. Although
he has lost his property
and the most of his family and
1- A* "*
xeiuuves, yet 110 radiates sunshine
and helpfullness wherever
he goes.
A man whp can laugh outside
when he is crying inside, who
can smile when he feels badly,
has a great accomplishment. We
all love the one who believes the
sun shines when he cannot see it.
A potted rose in a window will
turn its face away from the darkness
toward the light. Turn it
as often as you will, it always

and lifts its face up toward the

So we, instictively, shrink from
cold, 'melancholy, inky natures
and turn our face toward the

bright, the cheerful, and the sun- I
shiny. There is more virtue in 1
one sunbeam than in a whole !
atmosphere of cloud and gloom. '
As the Gulf Stream leaves a i
warm, soft climate in its wake as ?
it flows through the colder waters i
of the ocean on its way from the '
Gulf to the North Pole, so a happy, 1
joyous, sunshiny nature leaves a <
warm trail of sunshine wherever
it goes through the cold, prac
tical, selfish world. ,
Lydia Maria Child used to say:
*'1 think cheerfulness in every
possible way. I read only chipper
books, and hang prisms in
my window to fill the room with
rainbows " This is the right
kind of philosophy?the philosophy
of good cheer, the greatest
medicine for the mind, the best
tonic for the body, and the greatest
health food known.
Your ability to carry your own
sunshine with you, you own lubrican't
your own light, so that, no
matter how heavy the load or
dark the way, yqu will be equal
to the emergency, will measure1
your ability to continue and to
achieve.-.Success Magazine.
