There is no diversity in the aspiration of the buman family. Ail aspire te happiness. But the diverslty lu the means of attaining it is as much varied as the louves of the forest. Happineus: a condition ot ecstatic blisas- a freedomn froin unpleasant annoyances * full gratification of the sensess and ail the dneiy tuned gifts of the mind and soul. There is no perfect happiness here, as there is withln the soui a calling for more than Ibis world, with al it can afford, will satisfy. Notwithstanding ail Solomnon's wisdom ho was deluded with the idea that happiness was to be found bere in perfection, and test- ed fur " A Tii har Ani Tu Ahs Gri Hi! A AI! every avenue which wealth could, open bin--ane ail failed. His verdict was: Ali is vanity." Pollock in his- Coarse of me " shows wherein men fail in attaining )pifless by searching for il through delus- echannels. He says: -Soîne sougbt Fame, d whiom she praised to-day, xîng bis ear wiîb acclamations loud, )-morrow blarned arnd hissed hum, out of sight.' 50o " Who grasped at earthly Fumie, 'asped wind ; iay, worse, as serpent grasp- ed that îhrough is hand suid smoothly, and was gone ; but le t sting behind wbich wrought him endiess pain."' ISO: Many hunted gold, for what ? An hour ofr dreamîng joy- A. feverîsli bour that hasted to be done, Atnd ended iin the bitterness of woe." He also says philosopby has done much to1 elevate man, stili she cannot nurse a single plant that bears true happiness. At least the fruit is sour. One of the most plentiful sources of un- happiness is discontent. It wili sap the roundation of happiness, and spoil aIl the en- joyment of liCe. Tbrough it we shut our- selves out froin the enjoyment of everything calculated for and placed within an easy attainiment. It wili also cash a shadow over the lire of every one with whom the discon- tented one comes in contact. There is no excuse for bligiting thelives of our feilow beings, and possibiy those who are bound to us by' ver>' tender ties. There bas been a vague wbispering that women are more guilty of indulging in dis- content than men, and we fear there is groundc for this. Let us looik fairlyiy mb t. There is certainiy much more in the lite of wvoman ho provokre discontent. as ber duties conuine ber iargely to the home, consequent ly she is shut in more rom the exhiliaratîng and bracing influence of the fresb air (wbicb is natures true stimulant). She is aiso of a more delicate and weaker organization, con- sequently ber duties sometimes overwbeim ber. Sisters, let us prove ourseives un- wortbv of these whisperings. by cultivating cheerfulness and discouraging any and everytbîng that wouid engender or foster dis- content. Is there flot much of this so-called white slavery seif-imposed ? Do we not attach toc, much importance to superfiuities ? ls there not much in nearly every home that is reaily dispensible, and the attaininent o! which bas imposed a tax upon strength which should have been husb-inded or the indispensible? Instead o! wasting the ou at midnigbt cver some parlor decoration wouid it not be wiser ho retire early, and rise re[reshed and cheer- Cul. The most beautiful udoriment ever completed by the most deft fingers falis far short of the cheerful spirit in the adoriment o! the home. Ail these are fruitftil sources of disconhent, simply because they impose a greater tax than the strength is equal ta. Ail hou.-e-keepers go through much the same experience. There- are day-s when working in the kitchen or ut the sewing- machine the hands Cali in despair witb the " Too m ucb, too mucb ! " aud we are temnptedi to exclaim " How long ! O, how long! " Tbeu is the timo 10 profit by Wm. Cullen Bryants advice: "'Go out mbt the open air and list 10 natures teachings." There beuuty reigus supreme. Drink it ail in, and enjoy ilt te the full. We will then go back to our work witb tbe mmnd refresbed and euco'uraged te face the duties of the day. Some may object to this, by saying : It's not practical 10 leave the work to enjoy the beauhies of nature. Try it, sisters. You wiii find it very pructical. Anything that heips 10 brighten the life is practical. Nover mmnd if the cooking steve is not quite as lustrous as some o! our neighhors ; or if the litile dresse* have te be made up without tucks and frilîs. There have been many good women who knew 11111e cf ecuber dur- ing their cbiidhood. Nover fret if oti4 homes hall short of our youthful anticipations. Let us do ill in our power te elevate thein, antd compare with those of people whe are equai- ly worthy. and who are strugglug 10 obtain the bare riecessaries of life, and yet through ail have a word o! choor fer every one-they meet. To those womnen who are are carryiiig a heavy burden froin whicb there seems te be no release try te be patient, as impatience only makes the burden heavier. Rezuec- 'ber : "The wind lu tempered te the sham 1 a m b. Be assured that ln the proper time the burden wiil be removed, but sornetimeOs the remnovai of a burden Ji a heavier cross than e-arrying it.
