BUOYANT PEOPLE.

There are certain persons, whom to meet is like opening the window of a close apartment on a delicious J une day — the first breath is, an inspiration. You throw back your locks from your heated forehead and your weary eyes, and ask nothing but to. sit down and let this soother minister to you. All your cares and frets one by one creep away, and a new life and vigor seem infused into every nerve and muscle. You are not the creature that you were ten minutes before. You are ready, after all, to do valiant battle with life, though you had supposed yourself quite surrendered to its every -day petty and^harassing tyrant necessities. Exuberant animal strength must, needs carry with it hopefulness and courage ; and they whose nerves have been strained and weakened by past trouble, welcome the breezy, fresh influence of, such, like heaven's own dew and sunshine. It is a tonic, the blessing, of which the unconscious giver knows not how to appreciate, perhaps, but oh, how invaluable to the receiver ! A soulful face, an exultant word, a light springing step. We raise our weary eyes first in wonder, then in admiration; and the sympathetic chord thus struck, the. brow clears, the eyes brighten, and life seems not the curse we erewhile thought it, but the blessing God intended it..
