THE SIGH FOR LEISURE.

Lives there the man who has not sighed for leisure? And lives there the man who in his more sober moments, has not been honestly glad that he must work? Human nature, which sweetens under toll, sours In leisure. And It Is by no means sure that the fall from Innocence which first brought work Into the world “and all our woe** was not bringing salvation disguised as labor. Faithfulness will dignify and beautify even drudgery; no matter what the work is, provided it to honest, if it is done well it commands our instinctive respect Besides, if we did not all have to work so hard to keep Xlive the jails would have standing room only.
