is no need for worry.
One of the tragedies of life is the!
conflict of .the tid> with the untidy
temperament. Two excellent persons
marry, two delightful persons, t
two persons with many elements of 1
sympathy, capable of augmenting c
other's pleasures in life in many ways ^
But one has always been accustomed ;
to neatness, to tidiness, to having ?
a place for everything and keeping
it there, and the other has not; hence
arise irritating divergence and un-1
necessary wear and tear, and what i
i'ht be a charming home is too of-j
: ten rendered miserable.
So far we have been speaking of
. xteraal tidiness. There is a tidiness
of a spirit also. Some souls,
r live in a mist; grope, stumble, shiver
ir,A cku/Uffis - - 5 ' - -
...... ouuuuv; in n nazf ox incompieteness
and uncertainty. Others by instinet,
cultivate exactitude, definiteness,
clarity; in other words, tidiness.
I he tidiness of the body is excellent.
But the tidiness of the spirit is one
<>f the largest and sweetest of virtues
and tends to tranquility and
r;irth of days.?Youth's Co mpanion. I
