Activity Is Not Always Energy.

There are some men whose failure 10
succeed in life II n problem 10 others. as
we'll as 10 themselves. They are indus
trious, prudent and economical yet after
a long lie OF striving, old age finds them
still poor. They complain Of ill.luck. They
say fate is always against them. But the
fact IL that they mlscarry because they
have mistaken mere activity for energy.
Confounding two things essentially ditier.
ent, they have supposed that, II they were
always busy, they would be certain To DO
advancing their fortunes. They have for
gotten that misdirected labor Is but q
waste d activity, The person who would
succeed In life Is like marksman firing
nj target II his shots miss the mark
they are waste of powder 30 in the
great game OF life, what man does must
be made 10 count or IL might almost as
well have been left undone. Everybody
knows some one in his circle OF friends
who, though always active, has this want
Of energy. The distemper. III we may
call II such, exhibits itself in various
ways. In some cases the man has merely
an executive faculty, when he should
have a directive one; In other language,
he makes n capital clerk for himself,
when he ought 10 do the thinking OF the
business. In other cases what Ia done Is
not done either ut the right time or In the
right way. Energy, correctly understood,
~ activity proportioncd 10 the end ---,Scsen-

DELUSION.

and in whatever occupation he may be engaged. None are eX- empt. The shapes in which de- fusion presents itself to the hu- man mind are countless, but all having the same object and end to deceive and to lead from truth into error, and to mislead the judgement. In the very earliest history of mankind, as recorded in the bible, we have a case of de- fusion, the result of which, ac- cording to theologions, brought untold misery upon the human race, which must be transmitted from parents to children, through out all generations, to the end of tinei And these same theOlogi- ons tell us that it stops not there; but that with the unregenerated, it goes beyond the veil, into "that undiscovered country from which no traveller returns," there midst birthstone flames to torture it's miserable victims throughout eternity! Horrible thought And this the result of the first delusion. when the old he devil, in the shape of a snake, deluded old mother Eve and caused her to taste of the forbidden fruit. Oh terrible result! "Of mans first disobedience, and the fruit if that forbidden tree, whose mortal taste brought death into the world and all our woe !" Let those who can, believe in that theology; we do not express our opinion about it. We are speaking of delusion, and the liability of man to be led astray by false delusive lights. and it is not necessary that we should enter the domain of either theology or mythology to illustrate our points.
 Man is the victim of delusion from the hour of his birth. When the child first opens his eyes upon this strange world he is deluded in what he sees around him, and in every step in the cultivation of his intellect and the development of his perceptive faculties he is deluded by appearances, and finds that "things are not what they seem." AS his mind un1Olds and he grows up to manhood and takes his place in the great race of life. whether in the pursuit of love, money or fame, he finds that delusion awaits him at every step. Learning, science, even the high. est cultivation of the mind, pre- sent only partial bar to delusion. Men who have devoted their whole lives to scientific research are still the victims of delusion. How frequently do we see some new discovery in science which completely overthrows and eX- poses the falacy of something that had been received and taught as exiomatic truth, for ages |? This is especially true in the science oi medicine.
 Many people now living can we'll remember the time when the medical faculty strictly for. bade a sup of cold water to patti. eutS burning up With levers, and excluded from the sick room the fresh and invigorating air, thus compelling the invalid to breathe the poisonous exhalations of his own decomposing body, thereby hastening his dissolution !! By this terrible delusion they mur. dered their thousands and tens o thousands
 The great change that has taken place in the medical practice il this respect, is an open acknow iedgment of the fearful delusior under which they labored for SC many centuries. Theology, also has it's share of delusions, some o which, happily, are passing away
