Be Cheerful. — Emerson says : " Do not hang a dismal 

 picture on the wall, and do not deal with sables and gloom 

 in your conversation." Beecher follows with: "Away 

 with these fellows who go howling through life and all the 

 while passing for birds of paradise. He that cannot laugh 

 and be gay should look well to himself. He should fast and 

 pray until his face breaks forth into light." Talmage then 

 takes up the strain : " Some people have an idea that they 

 comfort the afflicted when they groan over them. Don't 

 drive a hearse through a man's soul. When you bind up a 

 broken bone of a soul, and you want splints, do not make 

 them of cast-iron."
