COMPLAINING.
sorrowful.

Neal, the author of the Charcoal
Sketches, thus admirably takes off that
class of people who are never so happy
as when they are making themselves
miserable:
"How are you, Torpid? How do
you feel to-day, Mr.. Torpid?
"a great deal worse than 1 was,
thank'ee; most dead, I'm obliged to you;
I'm always worse than was, and don t
think l was ever any better. I'm very
sure, any how, I'm not going to be any
better; and for the future you may al
ways know Pm worse, without asking
any questions; for the questions make
me worse. if nothing else does"
"Why, Torpid, what's the matter
with you?
Nothing, 1 tell you, in particular,
but great deal is the matter with me
in general; and that's the danger, be-
cause we don't know what il is. That's
what kills people, when they can't tell
what it is; that's what's killing me. My
great-grandfather died of it, and so will
l. The doctors don't know; they can't
tell; they say I'm well enough when I'm
bad enough, and there's no help. Pm
going off some of these days right after
my grandfather, dying of nothing in par
ticular, but of everything in general
That's what finishes our folks.n
