Every one is inclined to complain
of his lot, and envy many others who
he deems much more favorably situ-

it is all a paradise, yet, after all, that

enjoys. Beneath this gliding there
may be the very bitterness of death.
Kindness, love and patience, can
alone make the home happy, and
bring peace and contentment.
Again, those who follow pleasure
as vocation, are the ones who enjoy
the least of it. Every fancied sweet
turns to ashes soon in their mouths.
Every pleasure clogs, and they live
in a chronic state of ennui. Riches
