"We sleep sound," said Sir Walter Scott, "and our waking hours are happy, when they are employed; and a little sense of toil is necessary to the enjoyment of leisure, even when earned by study and sanctioned by the discharge of duty." It is true, there are men who die of overwork; but many more die of selfishness, indulgence, and idleness.

Where men break down by overwork, it is most commonly from want of duly ordering their lives, and neglect of the ordinary conditions of physical health.

Lord Stanley was probably right when he said, in his address to the Glasgow students above mentioned, that he doubted whether "hard work, steadily and regularly carried on, ever yet hurt anybody." Then, again, length of YEARS is no proper test of length of LIFE.

A man's life is to be measured by what he does in it, and what he feels in it.

The more useful work the man does, and the more he thinks and feels, the more he really lives.
