we die.
Big things draw US up to heaven or
crush us down to hades. Little things

us. catch the emily traiD with US or

nearly always the result of a hundred

To- be crushed by a large ,misadven-
ture is natural. bot to fall a victim to
a series of petty misfortunes is hu-
initiating. There are many who would
prefer to break their necRs once and
for all BY falling OF a mountain than
to bruise their whole bodies and dis
locate their tempers by the daily STUN
bling over a molehill. 1t is the hItle
