HUMAN LIFE.

When consider life, tits all cheat;
Yet, fooled with hope, men favour the
deceit;
Trust on, and think tomorrow will re-
pay
To.morrow's falser than the former day !;
Lies worse and while it says we shall
be blest
With some new joys cuts off what we
possessed.
Strange cozenage! None would live
past years again;
Yet all hope pleasure in what yet re-
main;
And from the dregs of life think to re-
ceive
What the first sprightly running could
not give.
John DRYDEN.

and then restore themselves to health
and strength by few bottles OF some
we'll advertised heal-all. If they could
once have it borne in upon them that
"earth bears no balsam Tor mistakes" /"
that 1t takes longer to climb up hill
than it does to run down and that 1t is
easier to keep we'll than to get we'll,
they would have made long stride to-
wards health and happiness.
Of course it might not be so inter-
esting There are still plenty OF wo-
men who "enjoy poor health." II they
did not have something the matter
with them, what would there be to
talk about? They wonld have lost
one of their most absorbing topics of
conversation. Moreover, they would
miss the delight we all know in being
worse off than our neighbors. Every
one who has read "The Mill on the
Floss" recalls the pride Mrs. Pullet felt
in the amount of physic she had taken,
pride which her husband shared.
"Pullet keeps all my physic bottles, -
said Mrs. Pullet. "He won't have one
sold. He says it's nothing but right
folks should see 'em when I'm gone.
They fill two of the long store-room
shelves already. The pill boxes are in
the closet in my room-but there's
nothing to show for the boluses, If it
isn't the bills"
The American husband may not be
quite as complacent about his wife's
physic record as was Mr.. Pullet, but
there are plenty of women who openly
or unavowedly, cherish the same mod
est pride as to their doctors and drug
gists' bills.
Apart from this class are women
who are so busy at their various avoca-
tions that they do not take proper care
of themselves. II never know I am
tired until break in two in the mid
dle," I heard a woman say once. There
are many like her. When the "break-
ing in two" comes, it is natural that
the victim should turn to what pallia-
tiyes she can find and endea YOUR to re-
pair damages by drugs.

the physician or belittle the advantages
of medicines. But it is much better to

sessed a capability for recklessness
and faith in remedies. Several causes
have Joined to produce this state OF al
fairs.
In the first place, women are too
busy. They always cut out more than
they can accomplish and go on the
principle that there are at least twenty
seven hours in every day. If their
work were purely selfish one might
condemn them unreeervedly. But as
a rule big share of 1t is done for 9TH
ers. Had the ordinary woman a sense
of proportion she would see that some
times she does more for those about
her when she does less, 80 to speak. In
other words, ii she would spare herself
a little there would be likelihood that
she would be able to stand for more in
her family and social life. But this is
something that is hard for her to learn.
A woman almost always means we'll.
II she didn't there would be more
chance for her. She might be con-
verted from the error of her ways. But
Ter ways ale 80 good that there seems no
ground for criticism. Yet even while
she justifies herself in her course OF
overwork she feels that something is
wrong, somewhere I heard one wo-
man voice the opinion of many not
very long ago.
II have SO much to fill my bands, "
she said. II work all day and have
comparatively little time to be with
my children. And when the active
employments are out of the way and l
want to give myself to my family there
is nothing lett worth giving"
There is the trouble. The woman
breaks herself down by over exertion In
some good OF ject. She does not take
time to preserve her health. She wears
her nerves to what is popularly known
az "frazzJe', and then she takes med
iclne to build herself up.
On the ground of Give and let 1lve''
her attitude and action might be iustl-
fed. For what would become OF quacks
and patent medicines il 1t were not
for the women? Men patronfze these,
too, but, after all, the women, with
their generous confidence that there il
panacea for every evil under the
sun, are the best patrons OF proprietary
medicines. I have said that women
lack sense of proportion. In moth
ing do they display this more than in
the faith that they can labor for years
to make themselves physical wrecks
