Happiness, Coming of
Illustration★★★President Nott, in his wise old age, once took a newly-married pair aside, and said: “I want to give you this advice, my children—-don’t try to be happy. Happiness is a shy nymph, and if you chase her you will never catch her. But just go quietly on and do your duty, and she will come to you.”
The point
President Nott counsels newlyweds that happiness cannot be pursued directly, but comes as you quietly go on doing your duty.
