THE SUNNY SIDE.

Dr. Johnson used to say that a habit of looking at the best side of every

event is far better than a thousand pounds a year. Bishop Hall quaintly remarks, "For every bad there might be a worse, and when one breaks his leg let him be thankful that it was not his neck!" When Fenelon's library was on fire, "God be praised," he exclaimed, "that it is not the dwelling of some poor man!" This is the true spirit of submission—one of the most beautiful traits that can possess the human heart.
