It Robs Life of Half the Good There Ia
 in It.
 It is trite 10 say that We miss half of the good of life by discomfort with our surroundings. But, although tlite, we pay so little attention to the truth of the statement that we still go on mak= ing the same error, and look before and after and long for what is not,
 Says Charles Baudelaire; This life Is a hospital where every patient is pos sessed with the desire to change his bed. This one would prefer to suffer before the stove, and that other thinks he would recover by the window"
 The probabilities are that the malady of diseontent would follow the so-called patient wherever he might be situated. He. like the heroine of Mrs. Whiney's Hitherto, is "always holding up his soul with thorn in it." Or, if the prick IS not in his soul, if is in bis in life, and lie makes himself and his friends mis- erable by expatiation upon it. Such person is the most wearing companion in the world. for he makes a constant drain upon our sympathies. And the amusing part Of it all is that when this present time over which he makes so much moan shall have become the past, he will then call it the ehappy past, md heaee a sigh at the thought that it cannot return. Thus he darltens all his . pathway through life with foolish dis content, while sthe beautiful around him lying is unnoticed.

For the person who recognizes his failing and is anxious 10 cure himself of it. good practice is that of attempt Ing 10 count the negative mercies-the imnlunities from pain, sorrow, illness and bereavement. He will be speedily overwhelmed, first, with realization of his blessings, and next, if he be good for anything. with shame that he conld ever have been discontented.
