lose that class of satisfaction 10 which the iEd is
the region and the source.
A young man in business, for instance, begins to
feel the exhilefating glow OF success, and delibeE-
ately determines he will abandon himself 10 its de-
licious whir. He says to himself: sI will think
of nothing but business till have made so much
money, and then will begin q new life. Will
gather around me books and pictures sandfrleSds-
! l will have knowledge, taste, and cultivation,
scholarship, winning speech, and graceful mail

lore.D Philosophy shall guide mt, history shall in
struct, and poetry shall charm me- Science shall
open to me her world of wonders i shall then re-
member my present life of drudgery, as one recalls
a troubled dream when morning is dawned. - He
keeps his self-Iegistered row.l He bends his
thought forward and nails them TO the dust Every
power, every affection, every taste, except those
which his particular occupation calls into play, rs
left to starve. Over the gates Of mind he writes Ill
Letters which he who runs may read, ltNo admit
tance except on business" In time he reaches The
goal of his hopes, but now insulted nature begins
to claim her revenge That which was once unnat-
Iural is now natural to him. The enforced reStmini
has become rigid deformty. He can no longer lift
his thoughts from the ground. Books, and knowi-
edge,and wise discourse, and theiemenities of art,
and the cordial Of friendship, are like words on
i strange tongue To the hard, smooth surface 'o

4 without ceasing to smile. Amid the graces and

continue to do: he must accumulate riches wficl
he cannot enjoy, and contemplate the idrearyp pros
pect of growing old without anything to make'agt
