bill. The responsibility is, therefore, plain.
The bill was a well considered effort at proxi-
mate tariff reform. Mr.. Wood is entitled to
credit for moving it, Its fate is no fault of
his. Messrs. Chittenden and Bliss were
present and voted, the first to kill the bill
and the second to save it. Mr.. Veeder, as
usual, was not present. Mr.. Wood has put
tariff reform further forward by framing the
bill than its opponents have set it back by
killing it. Defeat of Mr. Wood leaves things
where they were before The bill survives
as a measure of legislation for the future
and the learning and labor it embodies are
most creditable and helpful.

the rest which most recuperatss the system,

the cheek. The difference in the appearance
of a person who babitually retires at ten
o'clock and that of one who sits up until

cIearness and sparkle of the eye, and the
softness of the lines of the features, is, in a

taking regular rest two hours before twelve

street in her handsome carriage But he
tells her, shortly enough, that he has no
time for such follies, He must work to keep
the pot boiling. Idleness and gadding are
not for him. BY and by, when he gets rich
enough, he'll see about it.
By and by he drops dead one dsy-of over
work and apoplexy, the doctors say-and his
wife does not miss him much, "he was so de-
voted to his businessl" she always tells her
friends, with sigh.
Let no one think we are crying down hon.
est labor. Far from it. We were all born
30 work, and work in reasonable doses is a
blessing. No man or woman should be idle,
If health permits activity; but We do despise
the habit many business men have of giving
all their time TO toll and taking no recrea-
ton.
1t is wrong to themselves, and to their
families, and the community in which they
live.
Every man has duty to do to himselfand
to others, and if he fails to do it, he suffers
and others through him. OF course no one
is to blame for honest striving after a COM
petence. None of us want to be dependent
on Others for a subsistence. But when we
come 10 die, what matters it if our estate
should fall few thousand short of what we
hoped the sum total would amount to?
Is it worth the sacrifice of every comfort
Is 1T worth the cutting ones self short of
rest anu neeulul IepOS6, I0dt Ue0 SQOuIu say
of us after we are burned, ''Wen, he left
large propertyY'
Better take the happiness-and little
enough, at the best, does this world give us
AS We go along.
If we wait for it and expect it by and by,
it may never come. There are little pleas
ures for us every day, If we only look sharp
for them. There are moments of comfort
when earth is all fair and beautiful, and care
is forgotten, and the heart is at rest.
Ambition does not give us such moments,
nor the pursuit of wealth, nor the longing
after fame; but the love of friends, the APP
probation and sympathy of our nearest and
dearest, the appreciation of our own con-
sciences, and trust in God, give us a peace
which no worldly honors can bestow.
Friends, it you would be happy enjoy the
present moment. Put vain repinings away.
Borrow no trouble; it comes fast enough
without borrowing. Spend no time In la
menting over what can not be remedied.
Make the best of everything. Try to re-
member that no matter how black the clouds
may be. there is blue sky underneath
Bear in mind that there is no lot in life ex-
empt from sorrow; and do not forget that
however badly off you may deem yourself,
you might be even worse.
Spare time for reading and for social inter-
course, aud do not put in the everlasting
plea of business" when your wife delays
you a moment longer than you think she
ought to, or your baby boy climbs on your
knee and begs for one more little romp with
papa"
For these little joys make up the sum of
our life's happiness; and If we let them slip
one at a time, when the amount total is
computed we shall be surprised that it is so
contemptibly small.
