Never give way to molancholv: resist it steadily, for the habit will encroach. I once gave a lady twentytwo recipes against melancholy: one was a bright fire; another, to remember all the pleasant things said to her; anotlicr to keep' a box of sugar plums on: the chinmoy-picee, and a kettle simmering on the hob. .1 thought this mere trilling at the moment, hut hare, in after life, discovered how true it is that these little pleasures often banish melancholy better than higher and more- exalted objects; and that no means onglit to be thought too trifling which can oppose it, either in ourselves or in others.-—Sydney Smith,
