= =. Gold People. '.i.
Ii IS fhe nature of some. people to
gssh. Heaven endowed them with a
large emotional apparatus. They have
warm affections, grow excited at trifles,
en- yIrtce you with fervency, pledge eter-
mai friendship, and mean, for the time
beng, all their VOWS Of Consistency.
Doubtless they fir a necessary place in
the World. Serving to give warmth and
would ot1terNise ssiem cold and bare
they tsenatfalfs belong, however. to that
class OF people who experience eonsid-i
cradle variations ri temperament. They
have their high days and low ones,
their moods of eNaitafion and depres-
sion. They are in Slaring contrast to
the cold and equable people. those vari-
able people, those variable compounds
who are never put out, never enthusiasts
tic, onevel> tlHrried: never goaded into
delicious mdiscretions. These are the
kind of people who are apt 10 make life
4 success. Their temperamental cool
ness enables them to organize leistirely |
without being perturbed by the fiutter |
Of emotion. They sit still and calcu-
late while the rest OF the world is
scofched with fever heat or writhes like
snake in the flames 1t is the cold
people who keep their heads above wa
ter while their neighbors drown and |
put snug little sums OF money in the
bank While their friends are starving.
1t may be answered that cold people
excite esteem but not love- That is
nothing against them. 1t is often very
comfortable not to be loved. This love
is frequently an agony At the very /
least. TO abe loved by some one whose
passion you cannot return, is an annoy
anct / on feel that you are DOING them
an injury, while, at the same time, you
are quite conscious that you are not.
You experience an Inconsistent remorseJ
for an impossible-erime That is. pro-
Vided you are mot ascolds5 person your i
self, One of the beauties of being cold i
is that While you are totally indifferent i
rs to whether You excite affection or 4
not, you,may be aware of having done
so in IA few exceptional cases. and yet
remain wholly irresponsible and wholly
about their irresponsible
ness. If you are a cold person, with a |
good digestion, you are outhe high road
10 happiness, for you will be free. from
Two OF the principal causes of suffering
n this world namely, dyspepsia and
1ver sympathy with others. You viii
nave none of those momentary and &c
static thrills which flash through the
nature. But you will go
through life with nice, comfortable
orpidity of sonl, for which you ought
