The difference between pleasure and
happiness is, that the former relates
to the body and the latter TO the
spirit, and the peculiar situation in
which we find them is that civilization
makes more provision for the former
than for the latter. There Is plenty to
endow and strengthen the spirit, but
what caters TO the body seems to in
crease faster The allurements, ex-
elements, entertainments, sports, func-
tions Of society, etc, all belong to the
latter class. Happiness has little
show when pleasure gets busy. The
latter is crowded with victories. II
walks all over happiness. Pleasure
gives the virtues the slip and sets
down the spirit as a sort Of a slow
poke. Art, books, nature conversa-
ton, thought belong to the spirit and
are the instruments of happiness.
Pleasure cares little for them. It
would rather loll and smoke, and
laugh, and rah-rah, and encore The
distinction is plain and he who ignores
It doesn't know the true path of life,
the path that leads to high manhood
and high womanhood. Pleasure is, of
course, a part Of life, but to make it
greater part than happiness is the
mistake that most of us make, and a
sorry mistake, too.

given away by her brother, Leonce

was her lovely young sister, MISS

preston.

stay of several days before proceed
ing to their future home at Patter-

ter of Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Trepag-
nier, and is one Of Donaldsonville's
prettiest and most popular young Wo-

her new duties in life according to
the highest and best standard. The
