sam SLICK UPON HAPPINESS. Il ask again

that's fsc.-no idle man VI woman
was ever happy since the world began
Eve was idle, and that the way she
got tempted, poor crltter; employmen;
gives both appetite sud digestion. Duty
makes pleasure double sweet by con
trast. When harness is of. the work
amt too hard, crilter likes to kick up
his heels When pleasure is the bdsi-
ness of life, i. ceases to be pleasure
and when it'sa all labor aud no play,
work like an unstuifed saddle cuts into
The bones, Neither labor nor iileness
has road that leads TO happiness--one
has no room for the heart, the other cor
fupis 1t. Hard work, is the best Of the
two, for that aas, at all events, sound
sleep; the other restless pillows and
unfreshing sleep; Que is a misfortune aud
the other a curse; and money ain't hap
happiness that as clear as mud.
