Show The Importance of Occupation, There is nothing that adds more to the zest of life than an interesting occupation; occupa-tion; oven if it means hard work, thero is a recompense in the enjoyment of well earned rest. No work ought, however, to be overpowering, or so exhaustive that one's energies fall below their aspirations. aspi-rations. On the other hand, no life is so thoroughly wretched as one where the necessity and desire for work is entirely wanting; and this is particularly true of persons of education and intelligence who allow themselves to fall into that unsettled condition of mind where nothing noth-ing is of interest. It is difficult at first to force an interest, but when the first step is mado the habit of regular occupation, occupa-tion, if only for one or two hours a day, becomes valuable. Active minds, if not supplied with some subject for solid thought, will finally prey upon themselves, them-selves, and end by breaking down the physical health. Herald of Health, |
