Invastinn In Naturs.

A man must invest himself near at hand, and in common things, and be content with d steady and moderate return if he would know the blessed ness of a cheerful heart and the sweet ,,--s ar a walk over the round earth. This is a lesson the American has yet to !earn-c capability of amusement on a low key. He expects rapid and ex- traordinary returns. He would make the very elemental laws pay usury. He has nothing to invest in a walk; it is too slow. too cheap. We crave the as- tonishing, the exciting, the far away. and do not know the highways of the gods when we see them-always sign of the decay of faith and simplicity of man=John Burroughs.
