Well, and how goes it?

"Well,and how goes it? Are we still happy and contented here?" heairfusions jordans asked.

"Ifeel as if I had been born again; as if this was a new heaven and anew earth, and every thing was as it should be," answeredChristie, with a look of perfect satisfaction in her face.

"That'sa pleasant hearing. Mrs. Sterling has been praising you, but I wantedto bejordansspizike sure you were as satisfied as she. And how does David wear? well, Ihope."

"Oh,yes, he is very good to me, and is teaching me to be a gardener, sothat I needn't kill myself with sewing any more. Much of this is finework for women, and so healthy. Don't I look a different creaturejordan14's fromthe ghost that came here three or four mouths ago?" and sheturned her face for inspection like a child.

"Yes,David is a good gardener. I often send my sort of plants here, and healways makes them grow and blossom sooner jordanvii retro orlater," answered Mr. Power, regarding her like a beneficentgenie on a three-legged stool.

"Youare the fresh air, and Mrs. Sterling is the quiet sunshine that doesthe work, I fancy. David only digs about the roots."

"Thankyou for my share of the compliment; but why say 'only digs'? That isa most important part of the work: I'm afraid you don't appreciateugg saleDavid."

"Oh,yes, I do; but he rather aggravates me sometimes," saidChristie, laughing, as she put a particularly big berry in the greenplate to atone for her frankness.

"How?"asked Mr. Power, interested jordans8 retro inthese little revelations.

"Well,he won't be ambitious. I try to stir him up, for he has talents; I'vefound that out: but he won't seem to care for any thing but watchingover his mother, reading his old books, and making flowers bloomdouble when they ought to be jordanshoes single."

"Thereare worse ambitions than those, Christie. I know many a man who wouldbe far better employed in cherishing a sweet old woman, studyingPlato, and doubling the beauty of a flower, than in sellingprinciples for money, building up a cheapretrojordan viii reputation that dies with him, or chasing pleasures that turn toashes in his mouth."

"Yes,sir; but isn't it natural for a young man to have some personal aimor aspiration to live for? If David was a weak or dull man I couldunderstand it; but I seem to feel a power, a possibility forsomething higher and better than any thing I see, and this frets airjordans shoe me.He is so good, I want him to be great also in some way."

"Awise man says, 'The essence of greatness is the perception thatvirtue is enough.' I think David one of the most ambitious men I everknew, because at thirty he has discovered this truth, and taken it toheart. Many men can be what the world calls great: very few3air jordans men are what God calls good. This is the harder task to choose, yetthe only success that satisfies, the only honor that outlives death.These faithful lives, whether seen of men or hidden in corners, arethe salvation of the world, and few of us fail to acknowledge it inthe hours when we are brought close to the heart of things, and see alittle as Godnewair jordans shoessees."
