If anyone be sceptical: of the extraordinary foros which habit can exert, let him change, his watch-pocket for a fortnight. Then there is the sense of dis cipline and duty which results, generally; the sense of duty. which persuaden its owner with what hypocrisy is immaterial here-of the virtuous necessity. of sinking himself before the afficionoy of the machine in which ho is a unit, the sense of duty which may have some value against the spirit of self-in- dulgence everywhere growing.
