off those Of your burdens you can spare

is only an apparent excuse, aud not re-
ality, the fault lies. not in your having
too much TO do, but in bad arrangements
not in the want but in the waste Of time
Then the great thing to do IS to rcarrange
your work and your time, and to make
them st ia more harmoniously together
