Hurry.

Some men are in incessant action,
early and late and all through the day.
They have no time for family or friends.
As for holidays, the less for them the
better. They have inherited nervous
temperament, and are doing just the
wrong thing with allowing it to hur-
~ them to an untimely end. They wear
themselves out. Their brain is ever in
a state of morbid activity almost like
that of an insane man.
To all such we say: Early learn to
use restraint, or, in spite of all later
volitions, your momentum will steadily
increase, and sooner or later there viii
be breakdown. The more nervous
the temperament, the greater the need OF
outstanding the-nervous energy by in
telligent self-control, by appropriate di-
versions and by frequent seasons of alb
solute rest. The machinery may be OF
iron, but it needs to come to stand
still at times.
Many persons, not of nervous tenn
permanent, specially hurry at their meals.
They have vigorous appetites, and they
eat voraciously. Now, swine can do
this safely, for they have vigorous di-
gestion, and have nothing to do but to
digest what they eat. 1t is otherwise
with human beings. That kind moni-

THE LAND OF LIGHT.


The leaden clouds hang low above me,
And wrap the earth in mist and gloom;
The dreary rain drops ceaseless patter,
And all seems cherries as a tomb.
My heavy heart broods in its SORROW
Ger joys that We're too sweet to last;
But yet know the night will vanish,
And morn's fair splendors shine at last.

For one short hour make dull the day;

Beyond the cleaning, starry way.
