How to be Happy Though Human.

In confusion, let us offer some distracts from the ‘atch-'ives of Phil. Osopher, the oracle, to those who would like to be happy though human.

If you were twice as happy as you are you would be half as happy as you might be if you were as happy as you should be.

If you don't laugh to-day the laugh may be on you to-morrow.

The dog who can keep his tail up when his nose is down, knows more than his nose knows.

Every dog has his day, but the dog who makes to-day his day has his day every day.

Look after the here and the after will look after itself.

Never look a lift horse in the mouth.

Happiness is under your hat—not under the clock.

If you can't get what you want, want what you can get.

Trouble is only luck in a swoon.

Never rue to-morrow what wasn't done to-day.

If you are worse than you feel you may feel only half as bad as you are, but if you feel worse than you are you deserve to feel as bad as you are.

A quart head in a pint hat is no fault of the hat.

Laughter is a lifter.

Never try to be what you think others think you ought to be.

Even if you're “in the cart” be thankful you're not in the shafts.

Cows can't laugh, but you're a “poor cow” if you won't.

Every crowd has a sniveller whining—but he's not us.
