Nowadays the image of the world, with all its sheets of detailed news, all its network of communications, sets too deep a mark upon one’s spirit. We tend to believe that a man is lost unless he is qverwhelmed with occupation, unless, like the conjurer, he is keeping a dozen balls in the air at once. Such a gymnastic teaches a man alertness,, agility, effectiveness. But it has got to be proved that one was sent into the world to be effective, and it is not even that a man has fulfilled the higher Jaw of his being if he has made a large fortune by business.— A. C. Benson, in the “Cornhill.” Li.es little ironies generally wear petticoats.—' ‘Harper’s Weekly.
