me give you my idea OF happy career.
To possess the entire earth is not compre-

pleasant home. The woman should be a

brown. haired child, with blue eyes-ior
me-and sunny temperament must be
there. There should be congenial
pursuit. The man with a profession
should not be too much devoted
TO 1t and should possess few acres Of
land, aud study botany, and horticulture,
and Horticulture. In the man himself
there must be breadth oil character and
culture. He must remember his fellows,
and he who thinks Of his fellow beings
will never forget his God. He must re-
member that he ia a creature OF habit,
and have all bis habits right. Part OF his
time must be given TO labor, part to re-
freshment, part to recreation, and all to
doing good. This is my Dream OF Arcadia.
