SUPREMACY OF THE SPlRr.--I recocct hearing friend

gave n sensible idea of the triumph of the spirit

weakness of coporca organs than anything else that

hearts, and for our hearts alone
There is nothing difficult paint and dwell up.n
than nppiness for there is something in the human mind
requiring that variety which each individual may find in posi-
enjoyment himself bat which easily dcrivabe
from any Of happiness in others. Our happi-
supplies with variety from the sensations and
actions produced in mind Each hour each moment,
NAV bring such change OF feeling such tone from
the instrument such fresh chord in the harmony,
