The dream Of mort2ls 10 Of time con-
ing when cares shall cease 90 latest, snx-
ietics 20 Cypress, every wish 10 be graft
fed, and they shall s'take solid comfort. "
Many waste sll their lives In the vain
pursuits Of this dream, which, like the
-wisp, leads them sad chase
over the bog and fen and morass, eluding
them to the last. A few thoughtful souls
arrive seasonably at the wise conclusion
that not in this world will the time ever
come when, without any dregs of bitter
ness, the chalice pressed to our lips will
be full of comfort only. We must take
the bitter with the sweet as we 60 along
\ !Contentment il not an, souteregrowth.
It's roots spring from the very depths of
the soul, and are nourished as we'll by
rain as BY sunshine, by sorrow as by joy.
When once one has resolved within him
self to take life as it lie and make the best
of it, then he may, even In tribnlation,
take comfort, though the majority of peo-
pie do not prefer to take it In that form.
The delights of life, like pleasant wealth
or through the year, are scattered ell along
the way, and unless We enjoy them as
they come the opportunity once past never
returns. It is all very we'll to providefor
q rainy day, but that man is very foolish
who allows himself toA be soaked by
drenching rains that he may save his UNI
brella for some future storm. sgs
Pleasure-taking sis not snearly 50 much
provided for among earnest, intense, en-
ergetic American people as II SHOULD be.
We live altogether too much in the future,
too little in the present. We live poor
that we may die rich. We get already to
be happy, and when we are quite ready,
infrmity or disease or death steps in and
the chance to take comfort In this life is
gone. If we only C ND be content to
seize upon the little pleasures that lie
just outside, and often within our daily
pathway, they would make large sum
total at the end of the three-score and
ten. Far too many of us scorn pleasures
that are cheap and near and within our
grasp, and complain because we cannot
have such as are costly and remote and
inaccessible. But if we would only mag
nifty the little things that make life pleas
ant as we do those that make it. unpleas-
ant, the cup of our joy would continually
overflow. We complain of cloud and
storm, but do we rejoice In the sunshine
and fair weather9 We grieye at the cold.
ness Of friend, but do we value fully
the fidelity Of those who remain true2
We count the hours when sickness pros
trates us, but how many days of health
pass utterly unnoted and without thanks
giving? We mourn passionately for the
dead, while we neglect the living whom
tomorrow we may weep as dead. 1t Is
well for us to heed the saying of the wise
man: ''There Is nothing better than that
man should rejoice in his own works;
for that 10 his portions for who shall
bring him 10 see what shail be after him1''
