of time we can sometimes better use;
unchosen and often unwise company
robs us ot hours, nuggets of gold
which wash down life's rushing; flume;
an exciting but unhealthy book will
lure from us half a day ot tlm we
will need in some great stress. We
need the occasional camp fire; we
need more self-company where we
can sit as by the evening blase In the
mountains, or at Chautauqua, and talk
with ourselves forgotten and forget

cess and morbidity take the place of
the elixir sought.

earth is ailed."
