There are | 400, 100000 people living on
the planet which we inhabit. And yet
there is now and then man who wonders
what the rest Of us will do when he dies.
There are people in "socicty" who honestly
think that all the world closes its eyes
when our set lies down to sleep. There are
men who fear TO act according to their own
convictions, because perhaps ten persons in
a crowd OF | 400, 100000 viii laugh at them.
Why, If man could only realize every
moment what bustling, busy, fussy, i'm
portant little atom he is in all this great
ant hill Of important, fussy, little atoms,
every day he would regard himself less,
and think still less of the other molecules
in the corral, Brooklyn Eagle.

Although hundreds of remedies
have been proposed, it is doubtful # a
