A RECIPE FOR HAPPINESS.

It is simple: When you rise in the morning form a resolution to make the day a happy one to a fellow-creature. It is easily done: A left-off garment to the man who needs it; a kind word to the sorrowful; an encouraging expression to the striving—trifles in themselves light as air—will do it, at least for the twenty-four 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. Look at the result. You send one person, only one, happy through the day; that is three hundred and sixty-five in the course of a year; and supposing you live forty years only after you commence this course, you have made fourteen thousand six hundred human beings happy, at all events for a time. Now, worthy reader, is it not simple? and is it not worth accomplishing?—London Atlas.
