Text Appearing Before Image:
cent from barbarism. Tried by it alone weshow a si3lendid progress. We have mount-ed immeasurably—in business. But havewe made a corresponding ascent in pleas-ure? The form of the barbarities changesa little, but are not our favorite diversionsbarbarities still? Of course we do not all,when we are going in for a bit of pleasure,get drunk or engage in any of the grosserimmoralities ; but we do all, or very nearlyall, waste and squander. Of either ourtime, or our money, or our strength, or allthree, we make for our avowed pleasurean expenditure that brings us nothing.We do this too not wholly unawares. Weare more or less disturbed over it in ourconsciences, and excuse ourselves by say-ing, But a man cannot be working allthe time ; he must have some relaxation ; as if the only possible alternative to workwere folly. The very weakness of the jus-tification shows our need of intelligentguidance not in gravity, but in gayety. Weshould have over us some strong, wise mas-ters of the revels.
