Like sitting bv the fire until the pota toes are are done, I cannot conceive ot any pleasure that does not end in com fort. A glass of wine gladdens a man’s heart, the society of a pure woman is elevating. There is pleasure in both, but the man who tarries long at the wine cup, and that is not satisfied with a pure woman finds no pleasure in either. Ex treme seems to be the foe to pleasure. It is a pleasure to dance with those we love, but to stamp all night becomes mono, tinous, if not a displeasure. It is the bit ter end that we must consider. I find pleasure in a social game of cards, but not until I am exhausted. Pleasure is passtime, not waste time, for willful waste makes woeful w-ant. I believe in maximum pleasure for minimum cost. We have a choice of pleasure. We please in what we come to. Pleasure is at our will. I would refrain from what does r not appear certain the true principle of pleasure I do not find pleasure in an noying another jierson. I like to feel that I am be«ond infringement.
