Happiness
The idea has been transmitted
from generation to generation,
that happiness is one large and
beautiful stone, a single gem so
rare that all search after it is
vain, all effort for it hopeless. It
is not so. Happiness is mosaic,
composed of many smaller stones.
Each taken apart and viewed
singly may be of little value; but
when all are grouped together
and judiciously combined and set,
they form a pleasing and grace
ful whole a costly jewel. Tram
ple not under feet, then, the little
pleasures which a gracious Provi
dence scatters in the daily path,
and which, in eager search after
some great and exciting joy, we
are apt to overlook. Why should
we always keep our eyes fixed
on the bright, distant horizon,
while there are so many lovely
roses in the garden in which we
are permitted to walk? The very
ardor of our chase after happi
ness may be the reason that she
so often eludes our grasp. Selected.-
