FRIENDLY COUNSEL
LAUGHTER.
No man who has once heartily and wholly laughed can be altogether irreclaimably bad. How much lies in laughter— 7 the cipher-key wherewith we decipher the whole man! Some men wear an everlasting barren simper; in the smile of others lies a cold glitter as of ice; the 'fewest are able to laugh what can be called laughing, but only sniff and titter and snigger from the throat outwards, or at best produce some whiffling husky cachinnation as if they were laughing through wool; of none such comes good. The man who cannot laugh, is not only fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils, but his whole life is already a treason and d stratagem.
, Thomas carlyle. *.* * * Secure not thyself in the conceit of not bringing forth evil fruit. A Christian is not defined by mere negatives. He is good that does .good to others. LA BRUYERE.
