loons to flit exceedingly close, and as
the tailor was going, said after him.
"Remember, now, they must be per
fectly tight. If I can get into them, I
shan’t take them.”
Which will you do?—smile,and make
others happy, or be crabbed, and make
everyone around you miserable? The
amount of happiness you can produce
is incalculable if you show a smiling
face and speak pleasant words.
We should correct our own faults by
seeing how uncomely they appear in
others. Who will not abhor a choleric
passion, and a saucy pride in himself,
if he sees how ridiculous and contempti
ble they render those who are infested
with them.
