But on this account they have no riglit ta ma.ke others nmiserabIl, and cloud the sky for those around them. Their duty is ta endure patient- ly, ta exervice self-control and to present a brave and dheer- fui attitude te the world. The Apostie Paul constantly had "a thomrn th le flesli", but ho nover whined. and the world nover kraew a braver or more cheer- tul manm W. M. Prescott, the famnous htstorian, 'ýpresented the anom- aly of a dyspptic who was stil an pptirffustand always amia- ble. Ho suffered froni constant ill-îhe. and was almoat blind. 1%b biographer sys: "No annoy- ance, great or, emaîl, the most paiful illness, or tlie most in- tolerable bore, could disturb bis equaniniity, or render him in tic least degree sullen, or fret- Nuungtm eww lui, or discourteous. Hie was al- ways, gay , good-humored and manly.t" George Bancroft, aise a fam- eus historian, lias given thile testimony ta the greatness of Prescott's .personal dharm: "Whlle le was higli-spirited, lie was tender and gentie and hu- mane. Hie voice was like music and one could nover hear enougli of il. His oheerfulness reached and animated all about him." Robert Louis Stevenson, the Scottish novolist, essayist and pool, suffered nearly ail the days e! hie life from a slow lingering disease. In spite of! al his affliction and suffering, le did not murinur nor complain. His cheerfulnoss was invincible, and ho charmed the world by bis brave and sunny disposition. Noarly every lotter ho wrote was a sermon on cheerfuiness. Stevenson was the best-loved writer o! lis time. He worked incessantly and died at the oarly age o! forty-four, in thie yoar, 1894, at lis home in Sam- oa. Undaunted, radiant cheer- fuinoss was the distinguisliing note o! hie character. PRE TRUE WEALTH I was sitiing at my window, The day seemed duil to me, As I gzed up through the thiing leaves, Upon,,4y maple tree. Then, suddenly a vagrant breeze, Set ail the branches twirling, And there before niy charmed gaze, A wealth of gold was whirling. 1 thought, as golden heaps rose high, There's none so truly rich as I. -Marjorie Cunningham.
