q monster of its class, and, as the orig

of the club, Driscoll had some reason
to be proud. The scene in the photo
showed three or four other amateur
fishermen admiringly regarding the

Those are the only certain and
profitable delights, which arise from
the conscience of a well acted life; no
matter for noise abroad, so long as
we are quiet within; but if our pas
sions be seditious, that's enough to
keep us waking, without any other tu-
multi. 1t is not the posture of the
body, or the composure of the bed,
that will give rest to an uneasy mind;
here is an impatient sloth, that may
be reused by action, and the vices of
laziness must be cured by business

An Achievement In Living.

Thoreau's life was an achievement
in living. That was his art, and he
did it so inimitably well that, like all
verse opinions. We do our part by
understanding and approaching his
life, leaving its emulation to those who
can do 1t with ease and naturalness.
To live well, easily, aspiringly, and con-
templatively is an achievement which
years of effort have brought to man.
This achievement belongs to the few
Of whom Thoreau was one.-New York
