DON’T WORRY.
Worry is killing. It is bad management that kills people. Nature will let no man overwork himself unless he plays her false, unless he takes stimulants at regular times, smokes much or takes opium. If he is regular, and obeys the laws of health and walks in the way of physiological righteousness nature will never allow him or any other person to work too hard. It is necessary above all things to cultivate tranquillity of mind. Try to exercise ypur wills in regard to this—for will counts for something in securing tranquillity —to accept things as they are and not to bother about yesterday, which is gone for ever; nor to bother about to-morrow, which is not ours ; hut to take the present day and make the best of it. Those women who will continually peer, into what lies
beyond never have any present life at all—they are always grizzling over the past or prying into the future, and' this blessed to-day, •which is all that: we are sure of, they never have.
