December, 1879 THE WEST SHORE. Oft c IN WHICH STOKY DO WE LIVK? T .SEEE . 1'u.iinai.i; KM;ll'Kis 1 A brilliant lecturer in San Francisco was once reported aa laying that wo are constitutionally four stories high. He enumerated these stories as the animal, the emotional, tho intelloetual, and the spiritual, This aocount of tho human constitution may not be very exact philosophi cally, but it is certainly very suggestive practi cally. In which story do we live! Some seem to prefer the basement down below the animal nature the place where the whisky saloon tlmls its natural homo, and every form of deliauchory anil low suU-iudulgcnoo burrows and siui. They live, not to feed, but to pamper tho appo titea. Others are three-meal-a-day people, with a few confections thrown in between, and a good "night-cap" as they take to tha pillow. They may be tempera to, but such a life is not very high up. Others And tho world a bore if it dous not furnish them a now sensation every day They live in tho fermeut of tho emotional na tu iv. Their reading is the hot-seasoned novel; their recreation the thuater, or raoe-track, or walking mutch; their home a place to sloop in. Not bad people, but rather hard to preach to. Others, again, dry down all the juices uf human interest into hard thought the extract of intellect. These are the book-worms and scientific theorists of the world weazened by over-study, oftentimes in the heart as Well as the features. I lioir type is the botanical en thus ant, who noes into ecstasies over the aualv sis of a flower, and gets more excited over the discovery and classification of a new species of plant in Central Africa than over the Ut mas sacre, or the Berlin congress deciding tho fate of empires. He does nut like to lie disturbed with so much noise. He wishes these children would keep still and 1st him go ou with his studies. Not a useless style of humanity, by any means, hut sometimes a little nervous and uncomforta ble at the dinner-table, especially where there are children. Their heart need limbering up a little. Then there are some who find their best life iu kindly serviot to their fellow men, that they may be raised to a higher moral and spiritual condition. These fonrth story dwellers are not always understood by those below. It is rather a marvel what they can Had to delight them so muoh away no in the air, though it be so clear and pure. Tha majority prefer to keep near the earth. Vet if the worth of life is to be measured by the peace one gives and enjoys, those high dwellers have mail no mistake iu their choice. It is to be hoped that more will join them, and make their home in uie lourui story of their being. There is no easv elevator by which one may be lifted passively into its sanny altitude.
