LIMITATIONS OF LIFE.

The lesson of fortitude under limitations (writes W. J. Dawson in t he k Yonng Man') is one of the most difficult to learn and the hardest to practise in the discipline of life Nothing is than that in couv e of time wp all find out our limitations At eighteen we foel as if we. couid conquer the world, but at forty we are thankful for standing-room in italic) our daily bread. Now, almost everything depends on how we take this knowledge of our own limitations. V3«y often they are physical limitations, and as I write an instance comes to my mind. I know a man still on the useful side of life, who has had a hitter experience of what physica' limitation means. A severe illnes s has altered for him the entire aspect of life. His diet has to be carefully regulated, he can only walk about a couple of miles, he must not take a holiday in the mountains, he must no* go a voyage, and he is never free o* pain. Yet this man of th e most cheerful men 1 4 know. H e carries the burden of a large busines 3 and edits excellently a small inaga* zine. He has wide intellectual inter' ests, and finds time for the pursuit of culture. In a word he has accepted the limitations of his life, and made the best of them. And I could quote many Other instances of a similar fortitude. In modern literature, for example, there is no finer example than that of R. L. Stevenson, who under the most disastrous conditions Of health, kept a lifelong bouyancy of spirit, and accomplished a great literary career. And this is the spirit I would inculcate on those of my correspondents who complain of the limitations of their lot, I am not indifferent to their complaint; I sympathise with it But within the very narrowest limitations there is still much that can be done, and a thoroughly noble and self-sufficing life that may be lived. What we want is fortitude, that wise firmness of soul which takes life as it is, and makes the best of it. Railing against destiny is always a sign of cowardice of soul, just as cheerfulness is always the fruit of courage.
