MAN WHO NEVER SMILES.
x "Be on your guard against the man who never smiles," said the Rev. W. G. i Taylor iu a sermon in Sydney last week, « "Ho is either a hypocrite or a villain, a * growler, or a pessimist; a man with a bad r liver or with a worse heart. In any case, i give him a wide berth. I have a horror of things that never make a noise—snakes c and biting dogs, burglars and bogies, B white ants and black frosts; they all love t to work in the dark, or attack you from \ behind. You may generally place the e smilelees man somewhere near to such a c category as this. If your religion has not t saved you from the grumps, it isn't worth t much. An experience with no sunshine- in v it is first cousin to the historic Dead Sea f apple.. If I were a jackass, at least I q would choose to be a laughing one. Were c my vocation upon a stage I would rather q earn my living by making folk laugh than I curdle their blood with deep-etonned tra- k gedy." s
