s.. ILL-TEAip .R.--It is undoubtedly
ttruc, that more misery is produced
,nmong usby the irregularities Of our
:ter4Sfrs, than By real misfortuncs.
Aid it happens unfortunately that
these irregularities Of the temper are
most aptto display themselves ut our
tircsidos, whero everything ought to be
tranquiland serene. But the truth is,
we are awed by the presence OF stran-
gers, and arc afraid Of appearing weak
or illnatured when we get out into the
world, and 50 very heroically reserve all
our ill-humour for our wives, children
;aud servants. We are meek where we
might meet with opposition, but feel
ourselves un launtcdly bold where we
arc sure OF - cHtctual resistance.
