THAT UNKNOWN QUANTITYHAPPINESS.

Euclid might have achieved a greater fame than he now holds, had he propoundedthis problem™" Given a straight.intffihd happiness." AndthenjiUtneworld would have though^**"** o^o a bald and unconyjucfng condition in trying to solve the problem. Possibly the eminent Geometrician did state this proposition in his last books, but these were burned \r\ the conflagration of an library, and we have not t£ois just 'now to rake over the dghiiia. For all that, mankind, from the very beginning of the world, has iacitly set himself to solve the problem, and has barely succeeeded until the capacity for enjoying his knowledge has been buried with his fqrgotten years, and disregarded opportunities- So then logically with the foregoing, man is happy only when he is unconscious of his happiness. Happiness is mostly a question of health, whioh again ia the well-being of

organs, which the owner is hardly conscious of possessing. The best news in the world will not make a hypochondriac dance, nor a rheumatic martyr Bing—the effect on his mind is joyous, but the mental joy is counteracted by the material misery How many men have we seen praying for death —a visitor terrible even in the most alluring form, and clad in themost peaceful garb, because everything -they have used has failed, and they think that nothing can be done to save them from impending death? Thoy read this or are advised by friendß to test the sterling virtues of Warner's Safe Cure. They do so, and in a few weeks the sallowness - of the invalid has vanished, and the pink of health is being forced into their cheeks. Well it is happiness to see those respited prisoners enjoying their newly obtained health, it is happiness to them and to you if you have a heart for the troubles of < other men. William Hill, a railway gatekeeper at St Arnaud (Vic), was in such a state of living death, on and to his happiness regaining, health let his own words testify. Here is his letter :—Dead but yet Alive. St Arnaud, Victoria.— I was a martyr to chronic gout for a term of 34 years, during which time I spent over two thousand pounds on different doctors, having to pay £3 and £4 a visit in the early days of the colony. I also tried change of air in different parts of tne colony, but never got any permanent relief. I was given up on several occasions by the doctor, and once he told my wife I could not possibly live till the morning. I have been confined to my bed over 29 months, part of the time quite insensible, but in spite of all I managed to live on in,misery to myself and every one about me—dead but yet alive. It was during this critical time my wife read of some wonderful cures by the use of Warner's safe cure, and was determined I should try it as a last recourse. The doctor at this time had given me up, and said he could do nothing for me. I began the use of safe cure, having to pay five; shillings and sixpence per bottb, butt money was no object where life was con- ! cerned; after a few weeks I was able to j sit up, and continued to improve. I con-J tinued its use until I have taken thirty I or forty bottles ot Warner's safe cure, and | several vials of Warner's safe" pills lam J now able to get about and enjoy life ones' more. lam 67 years of age. My friends' tell me I must have an iron constitution but I tell them it is owing to Warner's; safe cure, and I shall never cease'to be grateful for the benefits I derived from its use.—William Hill, Gate Keeper on the Railway.
