Perhaps the above may be fair spe-
eimen Of the groundlessness Of discon-
tent. and Of its prevalence among all
classes.
This false view Of others extends
through all clases Of society, very often
leading the young, especially, into pur-
suits for which they are not, and never
can be, fitted. The farmers or mecha-
MICS son wishes he was a clerk, or
student at law or medicine-the clerk
and student think they are too much
confined. and frequently wish they
were in the place of the farmers SON
the lawyer thinks the editor is making
money, and the editor thinks the law
yer is-the farmers wife thinks the
wife Of the merchant or Of the profess
sionsl man lives in ease and comfort,
while the wives Of merchants and pro-
fessional men look upon the farner-
wife as mistress Of creation-the girl
that works at homework wishes She
was milliner, or tailorcss. and the
milliner and tailoress wish they were
school teachers. and the school-teacher
thinks she is perfect slave. and longs
for some other situation. Thus the
world acts as il it was all out Of place.
because each person forms false esti-
mate Of the happiness Of others. And
as We said in the start. large share of
the uneasiness and fault-finding Of the
world is occasioned by trusting in ap-
pearances."
In the above case. the farmer and the
merchant found fault with their own
situations, because each had been led
into error in relation to the condition
of the other. Be content with your lot,
and don't Judge from appearances.
