deal o. laziness In this world that passes for
'gnation.-[ Amelia Il. Barr in Christian
Union.
There are difficult chapters for all OF US in
the great art of living; days and weeks some
times when the burden seems too heavy. and
the appointed part too hard; when the sky is
black overhead, and the obstacles gather at
our feet, and the flirrow will not run straight.
Even the brightest optimism fails and flags
at such seasons, and no cajolement of the
fancy will make drudgery seem divine, or
anything, indeed, but mean and sordid. We
are but mortals, easily depressed, easily made
afraid; more ready for the most part to de-
spond than to hope, to record the defeats
rather than the triumphs, the pangs rather
than the blisses: and so, as needs must, we
have our dark days, when everything seems
amiss.
But because Duty oftens wears an unovely
face. ami speaks with harsh voice, we dare
not therefore argue that we are permitted to
shut our eyes to Its signs and our ears to its
appeals. Duty Is eXoneratie; 1t is not to be
escaped we can never, strive as we may, be
free from obligation; the field must be titled
whether we will or no. Our actions have ir.
revocabls consequences; but so, though we
are apt to overlook this, have our inactions.
To repel ones task will only make 1t more
difficult; to accept 1t is the sole way to make
1t toerable. And. rightly accepted, peace, if
not happiness, will follow Its fulfilmert, ''as
waves flow In on the furrow of the ships
strong keel."-[Sunday at Home.
There ure many who estimate their life on
earth by their sorrows and their misfortunes.
Through great many lives the ploughshare
hath gone very deep, turning up terrible
furrow. You have been betrayed, and mis-.
represented, and set upon, and slapped of i'm
pertnence, and poun ied of misfortune. The |
brightest life must have Its shadows. and the |
'moothest path Its thorns. On the happiest |
brood the hawk pounces. No escape from
roube of some kind. And so sometimes
hrough taste, and sometimes through learned
menace, and sometimes through physical dis.
ress, aye, In ten thousand ways troubles
'Ome to harass and annoy. And yet IL is un-
air to measure mans life by his msfort
ines, because where there Is one stalk of
iight.shade, there are fifty marigolds and
arebells; where there is one cloud thunder
barged, there are hundreds that stray across
he heavens, the glory of land and sky asleep
n their bosom 1T. Dewitt Talmage.
