Making Our Own Sunshine.

Our own hearts make our world
for us and fill and people it, and
the music we hear is modulated
as it passes over the chords of
our own souls. If you hold a
smooth seashell to your ear, you
hear strange murmuring sound
which we used to be told in child
hood was a sort of "Reminiscences
of the oceans roar. The fancy
was that the shell having lain long
amid the waves, the music of the
sea had hidden in it's magic cham
bers, and that this is what you
hear when you hold the shell to
your ear. This pretty fancy is
dispelled, however, when you
learn that instead of the music of
the ocean, the sound you hear is
caused by the beating of your
own heart, the throbbing of the
blood in your fingers. Lay the
shell on table aud put your ear
to it, and there is no music; you
hear the murmur only when you
hold the shell in your hand.
MANY OF the sounds which we
hear, attributing them to various
sources, are but the noise of our
own pulses, and every sound that
breaks upon our ear is modified
at least by the mood or quality OF
our own inner life. When our
heart Is glad, the world is full OF
song. When our heart is sad,
the world is full of tears.
