DISCONTINUED PEorLE.-philosophcrs have
a good deal TO say about the blessings of con-
tcntment, and all that sort of thing. Nothing,
however, can be more uncallcd for. Con-
tentment is the parent Of old fogyisnl, and the
very essence of mildew and inactivity. A
contonted man is one who is inclined to take
things as they are, and let them remain so.
II is not content that benefits the world, but
dissatisfaction. 1t was the man who was
dissatisfied with stage-coaches that introduce
ed railroads and locomotives. 1t was gen.
tleman 'ill ut ease" with the operations of
mail wagons who invented the magnetic tce-
graph. Discomfort led Columbus to discover
America, Washington to resist George i'll.
It taught Jefferson Democracy, Fulton how
to build steamboats,, and Whitney to invent
the cotton gin. Show US cOntcnted man,
and we will show you man who would
never have got above sheep-skin breeches in
a lifetime. Show us discOntented mortal,
on the contrary, and we will show you six
feet of goaheaditivcness that will not rest
satisfied till he has invented cast iron horse
that will outrun the telegraph.
