Hay-fever is a very painful, though not a dangerous disease. It is like a very 

 severe cold in the head, except that it lasts much longer. The nose runs; the 

 eyes are sore; the person sneezes; he feels unable to think of work. Sometimes 

 he has great difficulty in breathing. Hay-fever is not caused by hay, but by 

 the pollen from certain weeds and flowers. Only a small number of people get 

 this disease, perhaps one person in fifty. Most of those who do get it, can avoid 

 it by going to live in certain places during the summer and fall. Almost every 

 one can find some place where he does not suffer from hay-fever.

Every one of the million readers of anecdotes, or memoirs, or lives of Napoleon, 

 delights in the page, because he studies in it his own history. Napoleon is thor-

 and powers of other men in the street. He finds him, like himself, by birth a 

 citizen, who, by very intelligible merits, arrived at such a commanding position, 

 that he could indulge all those tastes which the common man possesses, but is 

 obliged to conceal and deny; good society, good books, fast traveling, dress, dinners, 

 servants without number, personal weight, the execution of his ideas, the standing 

 in the attitude of a benefactor to all persons about him, the refined enjoyments of 

 pictures, statues, music, palaces and conventional honors, — precisely what 

 is agreeable to the heart of every man in the nineteenth century.

Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use 

 for delight is in privateness, and retiring for ornament, is in discourse; and for 

 ability is in the judgment and disposition of business; for, expert men can execute 

 and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the 

 plots and marshaling of affairs, come best from those that are learned. 



To spend too much time in studies, is sloth; to use them too much for orna- 

 ment, is affectation; to make judgment wholly by their rules, is the humor of a
