opening in his pocket, and he
goes on from day to day, from
month to month, and year to
year—from boyhood to old age
—without ever disco vering the
source of his misery, or reflect-
ing that the opening might be
made smaller. The reason is
that the opening is in the top
instead of the1 bottom of the
pocket.
The hole in the top of the
pocket is always open. The
draught through is something
enormous. The attraction of
gravitation, it is true, canno
operate through it, but the fre
quent insertion of the owner’s
hand makes up the deficiency.
Keeping this opening in the
top ot the pocket prudently
closed, or permitting it to be too
much and too olten extended
in one’s youth, makes the dif-
ference in after life, and in old
age, between dependence and
independence, between poverty
and wealth.
