The Margin of Leisure.

A broad margin Of leisure is as beau
tiful in a mans life as in a book.
Haste makes waste no less in life than
in housekeeping. Keep the time, OBJ
serve the hours Of the universe, not of
the cars. What are threescore years
and ten hurriedly and coarsely lived to
moments of divine leisure in which
your life Is eoincident with the life of
the universe? We live too fast and
coarsely, just as we eat too fast and
do not know the true SAVIOR Of our food.
We consult our will and understanding
and the expectation Of men, not our
genius.-TAereau.
