Chapter 22 MORAL SUNSHINE.

I have gout, asthma, and seven other maladies, but am otherwise very well. -Sidney Smith.

The inborn geniality of some people amounts to genius. -Whipple.

This one sits shivering in fortune's smile,

Taking his joy with bated, doubtful breath;

This other, gnawed by hunger, all the while

Laughs in the teeth of death.

-T. B. Aldrich.
