The Demon of Hurry.

The hurry fever, says an easy^oius: man, is rife in homes where they try to do too tunny thing* without thought or paiua, and especially withont stopping to consider how many of tlics-e things are not worth doing .it all. We have all seeu such household*. Hurry to breakfast, hurry to lunch, hurry to diuner. Hurry to bed so that we maj bo up ?ariy. Hurry up, that we may hurry down. Hurry in, because we are in a hurry to go out. Hurry to finish tins -aine that we uiav havti time for one more. So the fretful household household hurries . with knit brows, compressed lips, and tenso nerves from bustling morning to bu<4liug evening. It would be a fruitful experience and a shrewd test for almost anyone to tec by actual count just how many times in a day he use* this fretful word "hurry," and how many or these times he could just as well avoided it. Nothing is gained by hurry. The attitude of mind it applies is prejudicial to wise plan> ning or proper execution. We havi just so much time ; scheme to do what will fill it; no more, but. indeed, much less leavin" mnuy half hours for the unexpected. The shrewd workman well understands the paradox "Do not: do too much and jou can do more." Banish the hurry fovct with the coolipg diet of peace and forethought. Then your borne will be a rare abode, only one remove from heaven
