THE CoNTENTED EASY MAN.


We have lived much in the world, mix
ed with all classes and descriptions, and
yet 1t has been our lot 10 meet but one
thoroughly contented man; and i
says "rrivate examples aIe as ~ Aka,
NY" take his portrait.
EPHRAIM EASY was the only son of
gentleman farmer, who cultivated his
own land. When child, his quiescent
>dlspotion was quite remarkable. He nev
cr cried for toys. like other children; play
ed no mlscheVious pranks; ate when it
was given 10 hlm, aud slept whenever he
could. Al school, he never showed the
the least desire TO be distinguished, either
in the sports Of his fellows, or in his cluss.
Growing too big for school, and unlike
other youngsters, manllesting no disposi'
tIon to see the world, hG was removed to
his fathers farm, where, taking root, in
course time, he sprouied into a man.
The death ofhiS father, soon after, put
him In possession Of his estate. Sill,
"He soundIy slept the night away,
And Just did nothing all the day"
But EphrOim's philosophc temper did
not at all tend to tho improvement Of his
worldly afnIv; his servants did little or
nothing, and we're paid for it; those who
bought his stock paid him less than any
ono else; his friends pIundered, and call
ed him all easy, clever fellow, and admi'
red his contentedness In the nIidst OF a
busy world, Ephraim smoked his case
lie had, to be sure, some vague idea that
all was not us it should be, but then he
found great consolation in the iavorle pro
verb that "whcn things come to the worst
they usually mend" A few more years,
and bad harvest put Ephraim's Proverb
to tho test: things came 10 the worst, but
unfortunately did not mend; his land went
of under the hammer; ho could not work
and so went to the poor.house. If this
touched any dormant spark of pride, it
was soon over; and po)r Epbraim is still
perfectly content! aud all his cares and
all his tolls are summed up IN Prior's two
lines
ale eats, and drinks, and alcoPu-whs
then2
Why cats, and drinks, and sleeps again"
Surely, there are many degrees Of hap
piness superior 10 such state.- NeUGrk
