Those who always have leisure to do exactly what they wisn seldom feel a very ardent wish to do anything. It is the labour of achieving that brings the pleasure of possession “The blessing of earth is toil,” and he who has no share in it misses not only his heritage of usefulness, hut his heritage of happiness also.
