FOB A DAY.

Did you ever try living tor a day, Just for one single day, without reference, director remote, t« any other If so have yea oontinued the proc«w for any considerable length of timet and if so again, WHAT VM your experience during such period Did yd« not find youraelf happier than usual Did yon not experience a feeling of content that you were not accustomed to?

I need not ask whether you have lived the other way—whether you have forgotten present enjoyments in brooding over the possible disappointments of the fetore, and been persistently wretched and miserable. I know you have done that, for we all have. The process is something like this: We are doing a certain thing—living in such way as we can. We know that it is the best thing we can do just now, the only thing perhaps, and if there was nothing but the Now concerned we should get along very well. But the Now is not sufficient for our enjoyment we must comprehend the Then also—look ahead five or ten years and borrow trouble about a state of things that may never exist. We may die before that time very easily, and what oould be more foolish than for one to have had grief concerning a portion of his life which he never lived! As if a man, going part another's farm, should lament that it was not abetter one, so that he might sometime be the richer for it, when in sooth there is not the least likelihood that it will ever bo his at all. But if we do not die (as we deserve to for not enjoying our present good things) perhaps Fortune may thwart our evil forebodings in some other way. For instance, a rich uncle may die and leave ns a competency, so that instead of our life being a matter to regret, we may have the means to make it as happy as imaginable. Or some other of a thousand things may occur to ruin our hopes of a reversion of future sorrow. What oould be more irrational then than this living ahead, particularly when it is to live grievously? Yet nothing is more common. Present enjoyments are slighted, present duties neglected, to dream of what the future will bring, or lament what we fear it will not bring.

We miss much by living so. There is a joy and zest in oar life, in its every hour and day, if we live by the hour and by the day, that are sufficient for our happiness. That is to say, if we but lose ourselves in the present hour, forgetful of our relationship with what is past and with what is to come, we shall know what it is to live, to exist unconsciously, as the plant or the animal does, satisfied with to-day and taking no thought for to-morrow. To live so is to be happy, for happiness is not self-conawlousness, but unconsciousness of self, as Carlyle found. The oar® which weigh* on otir spirits most heavily is not the care for today nor for to-morrow, but for that long army of to-morrows which Is filing down on us from the time to com®. If our work wearies it is not for to-day. We oould endure that. If this day were the last one how lightly we could go through with it! Yet we shall bavo as much strength for every to-morrow as we have for to-day. The error In our calculation consists In estimating only the great amount of work we shall have to do, while omitting the correspondingly great store of strength that is hoarded in the year* with which to do It.

When w» live tor each day fey itself we use our time to better profit. When we are constantly thinking of the future, of some prospective dower of time and opportunity, we allow many fragment* to go to waste. They seem so brief, so desultory, that we think we can make nothing of them. We have plans which w« hope sometime to carry out, bat what can we do in this half hour before dinner, or this hour before bed Unset What qm to begin our work with such an Inaigulftcaiit bit of material? As if one should commence building a houss with half a dosen brickbats. And tiro*, often r~i often the hours and the half hoars t-sii mt of our Hvm, unutilised, because TBEY appear too small for ON*. If we had a month or a year we woakl 00mmettee our work, bat it is of no use with tat hoar. If we were wise we would use the hours and the minutes. We could do something in them not much In eee* taken single)', hat the result would cotint for somethlng in lifetime.

If we have but an

We see a mechanic, or a common r, in middle life who has had from hte youth a talent in some spociai direction, it asms nuisia, or for paint? c, or for earvi~: wood, and the profit—tv«v be has r«L in it is a matter of auJi se to us. With the care of a large finally, perhaps, and to work regularly each day, how has he found time and r-rx»rtunity tor the development of this ulty He hm found it in the fractions of golden houre Mattered here and there through a score of years. They were were trifles, each by itself but taken in the aggregate they count for aomethiug. Each might have been wasted, frittered away in idleness or repining and not only produced nothing good but become the seed of discontent and uuhappineas. Improved as they were, they were a source of pleasure then, and enriched their possessor with a certain aesthetic fkoulty that will be a constant enjoyment to him while he lives.
