The H0ppiest Period Of Life.

II sc may believe the leplc, 3ntatioAS
Of ncl 'y every one Who has discussed
the subject. the happieS period of human
li.ei, ci,heronc whrh !, past, or one which
IS to come Adult, speak of their child
hood with regret for the deli ,ht, they
then felt, but can feel no more; while
children are inpatient for adult age to
arrive, that they may ta,lc pleasure de-
nicd them because they are children.
Events and experiences which when we
are passing through them, excite no spec
Ia remark. or are perhaps irksoIne become
when they are remembered, the brightest
spots in our history. We arc constantly
scheming and loiing for things which we
have not, and which we earnestly desire,
with the full conviction that when we ut.
tain them our satisfaction will be com.
plcte, and we are often disappointed.
Even the pious Christian is sustained
amid the trouble, of his earthly career by
the hope that when it is ended, he shall
be rewarded by bliss of which he knows
only THAI it lies in the future, and exceeds
all that he has felt before or imagin-
ed.
The greatest mischief arising from
this almost universal depreciation OF the
happiness that lies within our reach, is
not merely the wicked discomfort with
Divine Providence which it evinces and
strengthens, nor the more immediate loss
To ourselves OF the enjoyment We might
derive from life il we were hut wise
enough to do so. These are indeed se-
rious evils, and merit all the condemna-
ton which morali5ts have pronounced on
them. The persistent regret ioc the past
and dreaming OF the future, is vice
which should be stunned, both rs sinful
towards the Lord and detrimental to our
selves. But, beyond this, The habit of
perpetual looking for happiness else
where than in the immediate circumstan-
ccs in which we ale placed, begets. at
length, doubt that happiness is att ain
able at all. Frequent disappointments
lead 10 a suspicion more or less strong
that we shall continue to be disappointed
forever, and thus, AT leng tn, even the
pleasure oi anticipation perishes, and life
becomes dreary blank.
Religion, no less than morality and phi
losophy, demands that wo should leain
to look upon each moment rs it passes rs
the happiest period of life. This is the
plain import OF the teachings of the
Word. We are instructed to pray, not
for the return of the past nor for the
Fastening of the future, but for the sup
ply of the immediate present. Give us
this day our daily brcad;" Sufficient
unto the dag is the EVIL thereof Take
no thought for tho mOrOU,' are famil
ar expressions OF the divine law upon
the subject, and forbid not only fear and |
anxiety for the future, out also the occu-
patton of the thoughts with the future 10
the dctriment of the present. Events
gone by are fixed and irrevocablc. those
