Two men went into a garden. The worldly-wise man on sooner entered the gate than he began to count -Ahe number of the mango trees, how irony mangoes each tree botre, and what might be the approximate price of the or.hard. His companion went to the ovvnar, made his acquaintance, and quietly going under a mango tiee, began to pluck the fruit and eat it with the owner's consent. Now who .s the wiser of the two? Eat mangoes, it will satisfy your hunger. What is ihe good of counting the leaves and of vain calculation ? The proud man of intellect is vainly busy in finding out «i,e "why and wherefore" of creation, v. bile the humble man of wisdom make acqnain- "•* with the Creator and enjoys Supreme Bliss in this world.--From the &a,,iiigs of Sri Ramakrishna. From the Hindu Message.
