RIDGE SPRING LETTER . j News! news, with spice and variety attacked, is the want of the hour I explain-, d when calling or. i my invalid friend a few mornings a-, f.Toric and it happened that I had run in 011 one of those particular' days when everything conspires to : stretch to the utmost tension the nerves of long suffering invalidism and exposes t? view only omnious clouds of "blues" scurrying across darkening skies of mental depression. Preposterous since there is nothing but sadness here abouls and though hospitably arising from her couch in a cozv corner of the cheery sitting room with wan smile she began to recount innumerable grievances. "Laugh and the world 1 laughs with you," was the jocose re- j ply to say nothing about the effect' an exhilerating laugh would have J on your jangled neives. It it not] Ella Wheeler Wilcox who beautifully says: "With joyous steps we go our ways, Love lends a halo to our days; Light sorrows stdl like clouds afar We laugh and say, howstrong we are." Ah! yes she brightly exclaimed the "Lift of a laugh goes far," ar.d reaching into a re-] ceptacle at her elbow she selected a clipping from which sh. read: "The sound of a sigh but deepens the moan of hearts aquiver with J pain, But he lilting laugh of joyous1 tone is like sunshine alter storms of rain.
