GRUMBLERS.

A very large, very respectable,aldv very
knowing class of misanthropes rejoice IL
the name of Grumblers--persons who are
so sure that the world is going to ruin,
that they resent every attempt to comfort
them as an insult to their sagacity, and
accordingly seek their chief consolation IN
being inconsolable, their chief pleasure in
being displeased. Their raven croaks
drown all melodies of lark and linnet. In
deed. like jacques, "they can suck mel
ancholy out OF song, as weasel sucks
eggs. 1t is to them we are doubtless in
debted for that phrase which includes all
our actions and all the circumstances of
our being in this world under the general
term of ''the concerns of life" Dolefrl
and grabbed, their conversation is sue
cession of ominous prophecies emitted in
a series of growls. Mad at the infatua-
ton of those simpletons who insist on
feeling cheered by cheerful things, they
pruffiy hint of the tempests which are
Graded in the sunshine and the calm.
You meet one of them in the street, and
in push Of delight at the heavenliness Of
the weather, venture the suggestion that
it IS fine day. "Yes," he replies, lone
of those internal storm-breeders ~ Such a
creature having no other comfort than a
kind of fretfnl satisfaction in finding fault,
YOU make him hopelessly miserable when
YOU leave him no shadow of cause for
complaint. Thus Charles Lamb speaks of
one of his companions who, in the game
of whist, was always grumbling because
he had SO few trumps. BY some artilice
in dealing, the whole thirteen We're once
given him, in the hope that some sound
Of glee might be audible through his in
stinctiye grunt but after examining his
hand attentively, he looked more wretch
ed than ever. 'sWell, Tom said Lamb,
haven't you got enough trumps now ?n
yes" was the growing answer, .'but
I've got no other cards !" Indeed, discon-
tent, in the confirmed grumbler, is liter
ally a complaint "a settled disease of the |
mind. All his perceptions of nature and |
life being twisted and distorted into the |
shane of his own wretched!fancies, he can
see nothing as ii is Obstinate in absurdi- |
ty, you cannot tempt or coax him into
sense. '.He is as stiff as poker - said
friend Of one of these unreasonable and
unreasoning dogmatists. ''Stiff as a po-
kerr was the reply; why, he would set |
an example to a poker - Detection in the |
heart il thus apt to become stupidity in the |
head; and against stupidity "heayen and
earth fight in vain" In fact, the grumbler
cultiyates his grabbed folly as conscien- |
tious duty and swaggers and swells on the
strength of it as if to be a snarling bore
was to reach the summit of hnman excel |
lence, and to grow in stupidity was to
grow in grace. ''Sir." said DR.. johnson |
in reference to one of this class-"Sir,
Sherry is dull, naturally dull but he must
have taken great deal of pains to become
what we now see him. Such an excess of
stupidity is not in nature, sir. Tam will
