There is, of course, a limit to this argument, but that limit only bounded by common setise and judgment. A" properly equipped liome is absolutely necessary to per- matient-happiness and well-being.

His displeasure with the one opera by no means marks hint ad not being a lov- er of music. . The rule is that every ofie is fond of music . Men hold a diversity of religious beliefs, but there are few infidels . Similarly the nian who is not in the least impress- ed 'by music is a rare specimen. it seents that Charles Lamb, that writer of good Englishs was one of these cu- i ios.
