The pursuit of pleasure is a universal univer-sal instinct throughout ull animated nature. The love of jdcasuie is as much a natural appetite as the love of food. Wc may safely assume, therefore, that its gratification, when rationally Indulged, serves some useful use-ful and. important purpose. All enquiry en-quiry not only contirnis this, but shows that pleasure if a necessity, morally, mentally, and physically. If this be so the asceticism which condemns all pleasure is as imoral as it is foolish. Our desires seek a great diversity of objects. These may be worthy or unworthy, and our methods of attaining attain-ing them right or wrong. Hut the end purposed is p'easure, and frequently fre-quently its mere pursuit brings about a modillcd gratification. There is a wide distinction, however, between pleasure and happiness, because pleasure plea-sure may be virtuous or vicious, whereas happiness necessarily consists con-sists in the former. Socrates beautifully beauti-fully described happiness as "iiure-pented "iiure-pented pleasure.'" And L must be self-evident that the pleasures which need no repentance are those alone which are worthy of attainment. Prudence isthcir basis. The great founder of t he philosophy of pleasure, Epicurus, the best abused and most misiindeistood of the Greek sages, said: '"All other virtues grow from prudence, which teaches that we cannot can-not live pleasurably." Unfortunately, the "religious" hae frequently denounced all pleasure, confounding the evil with the good, and many poets and philosophers have followed in their wake. Thus Cowper writes of it as "that reeling goddess with a zoneless waist." Another An-other says: "Anil pain and pleasure e'er shall be, As Plato says, In company. Uecelve the one, an, I soon the oilier Will follow I rejoin lit ither." Drydeu, by a gross simile, opposes pleasure lo industry, and asks: ' Will any li.js Kefinedly lein e his hilclie To I urn a wliecl':" and bis bones All .these, however, refer to that false and shut-lived gratillcatioii which does not make for happiness, but rather destroys, in those that indulge in-dulge them, the power to enjoy true pleasure, "t'nUinnvii lo thrni when sensuitl pleasures cloy. To (ill the languid pause it li liner Joy " What real pleasure is, the celebrated celebrat-ed Tillotson in jne of his sermons partly informs us: "There i.s a great pleasure in being innocent, because that prevents guilt and trouble. It is pleasant, to In: virtuous and good, because that is to excel many others; it is pleasant to grow better, because that is to excel ourselves. Nay, it is pleasant even to mortify and subdue our lusts, because that is victory; it is pleasant to command .our appetites and passions, and to keep them in due ordor, within the bounds of reason and religion, because this is a kind of empire this Is to govern. "' Ourdesiresand tastes are so numerous, numer-ous, that our pleasures should be almost al-most numberless, yet we obtain few through want of prudence, or through senseless prohibitions. That delightful delight-ful old . egotist, Montaigne, said: "There is no just and lawful pleasure wherein the intemperance and excess is not to be condemned. Hut, to speak the truth, is not man a miserable miser-able creature the while? li is scarce, by his natural condition, in his power to taste one pleasure pure and entire; and yet mut he be contriving doctrines doc-trines and precepts, to curtail that little he has: he is not yet wretched enough unless by art and study he augment his own misery. Human wisdom makes iil use of her talent, whcD she exercises it in rescinding from the number and sweetness of those pleasures, that are naturally our due, as she employs it favourably, and well, in artificially disguising and tricking out tho ills of lire, to alleviate allevi-ate the sense of them Nature has with a motherly tenderness observed ob-served this, that the actions she has enjoined us for our necessity, should be also pleasant to us, and Invites us to them, not only by reason, but. also by appetite; and it Is injustice to In fringe her laws." lu these busy days, when men and women, and too frequently children, .He worked at high prcssi.rc, the need nf p'easiiie becomes liic gscaler. Il suitable and properly enj ived, it W the salt of good morals, keeping llieui sound and sweet; the medicine of the mind, and the refresher of .the body. Even harmless folly may occasionally promote wisdom. As Horace said: Tls good, 'tis good at times to play the fold." To live and to enjoy lffe, Lhas atllrnied to be not only the funda mental but the most illustrious of our occupations. Montaigne, whom we delight to quote, says: "Have you known how to meditate and manage your life; you have performed the greatest work of all. tor a man to shew and set out himself, nature has no need of fortune; she equally shows herself 'in all degrees, and behind a curtain as well as without one. Have you know n how to compose your manners? man-ners? You have done a great dial more than he who has composed books. Have you known how to take repose? You have done more than he who takes cities and empires. The glorious master-piece of man is, to know how lo live to purpose; all other things-to reigu, to lay up treasures, treas-ures, and to build, are at the most but little appeadices and little props." Tlieslern puritanism of old, which occasional'y breaks out still, even in County Councils and Petty Sessions, put the ban upon many innocent pleasures, and interdicted any semblance sem-blance of them on Sundays. The people were taught by their spiritual guides that to look upon the green fields and running brooks was "Sabbath-breaking," and that Sabbath-breaking Sabbath-breaking wasof equal turpitude with drunkenness and fornication. Thus their moral and religious ideas became be-came confused, and they were driven lo revolt against all restraints, on Hie principle that one may as well be hanged fur a sheep as a Jamb. A Saturday Sat-urday night hymn for children commenced: com-menced: "Haste, put your playthings all away, To-inurrw is the Sabbath day." A stanza of another, sung in infant schools, went: "Wo must not laujjli on Sunday, Hul we may lauj.'Uon Monday. On Tuesday and on Wednesday. On Thursday. Friday, Saturday Till Sunday comes a'iilu." In regard to the qiu sli .n of opening open-ing the Crystal Palace on the Sunday. "The it'.'Cord," which describes itself as "Liberal-Conservative," and the organ of Low or Evangelical! Churchmen, Church-men, said 45 years ago: '-It is surprising sur-prising that any animal, with a head of a higher order than a Chimpanzee, should pronounce it innocent to open a place for public worldly amusement on the Sabbath." It is through in fluence such as these that hypocrites -young men and old have been manufactured in mul.itudes, and that crime and immorality are unwittingly unwit-tingly promoted. The crying want of the time is more abundant means of Sunday recreatiju a. id of cheap and harmless evening pleasures for the toiling millions when liieir weekly and daily tasks are done. The nar-l nar-l iwness of Sabbatarianism should be repudiated by all who lay any claim lo intelligence. A cheerful spirit and a love of wholesome pleasures should be encouraged through life. Nor should we be too squeamish in our discrimination. The eje that sees motes often suffers from a beam. The same pleasures are not fruitable for all, yet all may be s oied. And the man who invents a new pleasure is undoubtedly a public benefactor. But whether we are old or young, rich or poor, ignorant or learned, or occupy a middle station, as the old moralist said: "Withal, let us be gay and sociable." Something to Know. It may be worth something to know that tho very best medicine for restoring re-storing the tired out nervous system to a healthy vigor is Electric Hitters. This medicine is puiely vegetable, acts by giving tone to Hie nerve centres cen-tres In the stomach, gently stimulates Hie Liver and Kidneys, and aids these organs in throwing off impurities in the blood.
