Living in n whirI.

New York Hour.
To-day we live in a whirl. We
cultivate civilization at the expense of
mental health. 1t is one grand rush
from the rising of the sun to the going
down of the same; scramble for
riches, for fame, for place, for power,
for bare existence ITSELF We rush to
catch trains and ferryboats, and hav-
ing caught them rush to get out. We
walk-when we do walk-in hurry,
talk in hurry, think in hurry, arc
taken sick in a hurry, and die with
scarcely time to say our prayers.
That this abnormal condition of un-
rest pervades all classes of workers
particularly brain-workers, is an ad.
mitted fact. We have, as people,
got into way of rushing things which
it seems difficult to avoid. Competi-
tion has kept pace with high-pressure
desires, and now man must keep
pace with the times, or sink out Of
sight. Instances are as thick as leaves
in autumn Of persons in the prime of
life breaking down under the strain of
overwork and overworry. The streets
are filled with men who carry about
with them spots on their brains-the
victims of speculation, overwork or
extreme business cares. They may
be found at the bar, in the pulpit, at
the editorial table, in the banking
house, the Office, the studio and the
study.
English advices inform us that Will
liam Black, the novelist, who is still
young man, has already worn his ner-
vous system out; and that Sullivan,
the brilliant composer, is mental
and physical wreck. Such deplorable
conditions could undoubtedly have
been avoided had these two men been
content to grow old slow ly and grace
fully, and to acquire fame in a moder-
ate and sensible way. Life is worth
living if man will only make it so.
There is time to work and time to
play. 1t is true philosopher who
how to make the best of
both. The most colossal fortune that
was ever amassed, the proudest name
ever acquired, are not worth the sacri-
fee of health and happiness. The
humble shepherd on the hillside, with
his dog, "his clean hearth-stone, his
thrifty wife's smile," the man who
knows n6 physical pain, no mental
unrest, is a happier being by far than
the Rothschild who cannot sleep, or
the Carlyle whose life was one long
sorrow, Ambition is all as d stimu-
liant where it becomes craze it is a
poison. Each human brain is only
capable of accomplishing so much; it
should make point of studying just
how much that is. Every man should
strive to be, as far as lies in his power,
A philosopher. Philosophy might
leach him that happiness at the heart
IS the truest mental hygiene, and that
such happiness can only be obtained
by doing the duty that lies nearest,
BY looking upon ambition as a means
% an end, by the pursuit and enjoy
nent of refined pleasures, by cultiva-
ing domestic peace, by curbing the
temper and BY performing kindly acts.
