THE CHEERFUL TRAVELLER
A HEAVENLY VISION.
■ There is a. very good legend illustrating the blessedness of performing our duty at whatever cost to our own inclination. A beautiful vision of our Saviour had appeared to a monk, and in silent bliss he was gazing upon it. The hour arrived at which it was his duty to feed the poor of the convent. He lingered not in his cell to enjoy the. vision, but left it to perform his humble duty. When lie returned he found the blessed vision still waiting for him, and uttering these words, “Hadst thou stayed, ] must have fled.”

Nature always springs to the surface, and manages to show what she is; it is vain to stop or try to drive her back; she breaks through every obstacle, pushes forward, and at last makes for herself a wav.
