| -1Ee nearest approach TO happl-
ness is not having time to amuse
| yourself.
Every day is little life, and our
whole life is bat a day repeated.
These therefore that dare lose day
are dangerously prodigal.
Work touches the keys of endless
! activities, opens the infinite, and
stands awe struck before the immen-
sity Of what there is to do.
Iuquisjtive people are the tunnels
OF conversation; they do not take any
thing for their own use, but merely to
pass il on to Others.
There are people who would do great
nc1s, but because they wait for great
opportunities, life passes. and the acts
Of love are rot done at all.

ADAMS BOTHOOD.
Adam never knew what a circus
was, = least, not until Eve came and
Introduced him 10 one. True, there
was big menagerie all around, but
the animals were tame-lions and
lambs lying down together in the
most s2iritless concord, and hippota-
mi and kittens playing with each
other in an amicable manner. Even
the snake didn't appear until some

is kind of satisfaction in rejecting
that Adams boyhood at least was ex-
| ceptionaliy free from care.
