The Ethics OF Enjoyment.

The gift Of enjoying life should be
ranked among the most desirable of
talents. When our forefathers solemnly
incorporated into their Declaration of
Independence the assertion that men
were entitled to life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness, they gave official
recognition and emphasis to the import
ance of happiness as an element of ma
tional life. As rule we ignore it indi-
vldually. We are apt to consider hap
piness from the Carlylean standpoint as
something that IMAM can do without. :"
We are apt to have an underlined feel
ing that we are not doing our whole
duty if We are happy; that it is spe-
cies of dilettantism or idle and childish
self-indnlgepce. This is our Puritan
inh ritance, and one that still fingers
perceptibiy with us. Diderot, in his
"Paradoxe sur lie Comedien, Says: "But
look around you, aud you will see that
people OF never-failing gayety have
neither great faults Ior merits; that as
a rule people who lay themselves ont to
be agreeable are frivolous people, with
out any sound principle, and that those
who, like certain persons who mix in
our society, have no character, excel in
playing all" In this the French critic
expresses a very universal sentiment
and one that is apt to be accepted sans
analysis. But it is not true that hap
piness is really our nomal condition,
and that any failure TO realize it should
-, .-salat,A,. ~ In Il
warn us to seek the remedy and restor-
alton? OF course, if happiness is adj
judged to be entirely dependant on
things, and to require at least 5000
year for its support, it is a practically
unattainable TO most Of US. But il We
relegate it to its true p ace as q spirit
ual condition, We hold the keys that
unlock for us the gates OF destiny.
Happiness is moral and intellectual
sanity, as health is physical san ty, and
"the pursuit Of happiness" which is
secured to us as constitutional right,
is very laudable and feasible occupa-
ton. Nine-tenths of our anxiety, our
worry, our fancied trials, is wholly
useless. Not that it is entirely without
basis but its realities consist of condi-
tons that can be dissipated, and even
ignored. Life is too short to waste on
idle or unavailing regret. 1t is wiser
to look up than down; to look forwa d
rather than lackward,-and the life
that holds itself in true polarity to
hope, and cheer.ulness, and sunshine,
is in itself the lire of permanent and
blessed success. "The kingdom Of
heaven is within you. "-BoSton Trar-
eiler.

Such is the question which is being
seriously discussed. Perhaps it would
be is well to leave the determination of
the question to those whom it principal
" concerns. We fancy they have no
wish to change the custom. AS a mat
Ter OF fact, although it may not appear
to be the case, the seat which IL woman
enjoys Oh II side-saddlc is fully as secure
and not nearly as irksOme, as that
which man has to maintain, unless he
simply balances himself, and does not
grip the side of his horse either with
the knco or the side Of the leg. 1t is
curious to note the different ways in
which the legs OF men who pass much
time in the saddle are affected. Riding
with IL straight leg and a long stirrup
almost invariably produces what are
popularity called knocked-knees. Near
~ all the mounted soldiers of the
British army suffer from this defOrmity,
its amy one who will take the trouble to
notice the men Of the Life Guards aud
Blues walking may satisfy himself. On
the other hand, riding with a short
stirrup produces bowed legs. Jockeys,
grooms, and most hunting.lncn who ride
frequently, arc more or less bow-legged.
The long stirrup rider grips his horse
with tho knee, while the short stirrup
rider grips him with the inner side OF
the leg below the knee. The difference
Of action explains the difference OF re-
suit. No deformity necessarily follows
the use OF the sidc-saddlo il the precau-
tion be taken with growing girls to
change sides on alternate days, riding
on the left side ono day and the right
on the next. The purpose of this
change is to counteract the tendency to
lean over to the side opposite that on
which the leg is swung.
