Keceutive HOUR,

Some one has said that God has given
us two eyes and only one tongue, IN
order that we may see twice as much
as we speak. You take your books 10
study; you have your theme In hand;
and your dictionary and your cyclopaedia
and your treatises are before you, and you
are digging for knowledge as for hid
treasure. But at other times you do not
take mp a theme for study, but you SIT
down I'm your easy chair and light your
evening lamp. the wind is bowling out
side, and the rain IS beating upon the
window-pane, and you are sure that you
are going to have that night no Interrupt
ton: and you take your Browning, or
your Shakespeare or your Carlyle, or
your Tennyson, or your Whittier, and
you do not study. you simply let your
favOrite author talk to you, and after he
has spoken 10 you for 10 or Is minutes
the book drops into your lap and you
begin 10 think his thoughts. These hours,
I'm which we simply listen 20 what the
men Of genius have TO say 10 us, are
they not the most fruitful hours Of our
life? Have we not received more in those
hours than We received when our die
uOnary and our grammar and our treatise
were before us and we were digging for
wisdom as for n hid treasure? or you
perhaps you take your gun that you may
shoot some bird in order TO examine II
and see what is its structure and form;
or YOU have your net with which you are
going 10 catch some insects. But an
other day I'm June you lie down on the
grass and simply take what nature has
TO give you: and the squirrel runs up the
tree and looks at you and runs down
again, and first on one side and then an
other, and you lie still. and he comes
nearer and nearer; and the robin hops
along and peeps at you and utters a little
note and picks up his breakfast and flies
away again; and the cricket shows him
self In the grass close by, and the very
insects make companions Of you and go
creeping over you, and you do not obpect. |
You are listening now. not studying, and |
yet you are learning. Nature has some |
thing to say 10 you. These receptive |
hours are our best hours. "-Lyman ABB
