The Cure For Worry.


of modern life. Isay Of modern life,
not because people thousand years
ago did not worry, because as ci7i'
lization advances men become more
highly strung, more sensitive and less
espsble of detachment Thus We
often say in very expressive phrase
that q thing 'sgets upon our nerves.
Something Distressing happens to US,
and We cannot: shake it IF. Some
one treats Us rudely, harshly or un-
kindly, and the word or deed rank!es
in our minds. We think it over till
it is magnified into a grievoos and
Intentional insult. We take it to bed
with us, and DO sooner is the light
put out than We begin to recall it and
turn over in our minds all the clrcum-
stances that occss.oped it. We sleep
severishly, haunted all the time with
the sense of something dissgreeable.
We wake, and the accursed thing 's
still ranking in our minds. This is
one form of worry, which is very
common among people OF sensitive
minds.
Another form of worry is tie tend
encg to brood over past errors. The
business man or the public man is
suddenly overwhelmed witt the con-
vicsion that be has made an awful
mess of things. The worst OF all
calsmities is the lack of energy to
erspple with calamity, and in most
cases it is worry that breaks down 9
mans energy.
A. third and perhaps more common
form Of worry is the gloomy anticipa-
ton of future calamities. There are
some men who, however happy they
may be today, are perpetually fright
ening themselves with the possibill-
ties of disastrous tomorrow. They
live in terror. When actual sorrow
comes upon us most of ns discover
unexpected resources of fortitude in
ourselves. But nothing sickens the
heart 80 much as imagined sorrow.
OF this form of worry We may well
cay, "It's wicked!"
I have no doubt that most OF my
readers know by experience what
some of these things mean. No
doubt also many of them have many
real causes for anxious thought, and
fney will ask me how I propose to
deal with it. One of the best ways
is to be content to live day at 8
time. Sydney Smith eounsels US
with rich wisdom to take short views
of life. Each day is an entity in it.
self. It is rounded off by the gulf
of sleep; it has it's own hours which
will never return; it stands separate,
with it's own opportunities and pleas
ures. Make the most of them.
Another good and simple rule is
never to take our griefs to bed with
ns. s.Eaay to say, but how difficult
to do," will be replied. But it is
largely q matter of will and habit.
John Wesley once said that he
would as soon steal as worry, for
each was equally ss in. 70 worry is
wasteful and foolish; we have also to
recollect that it is wicked.-W. j.
Dawson in New York World.
