Since the line* between content and discontent does not coincide with the line between riches and poverty, in wliat other line can the division lie drawn ! The only contented class in s; riety consists of those who enjoy the labor by which they live the work of their vocations. Those who have no livelihood to earn, and those wlu>. while having to earn their livelihood. linil the labour it involves distasteful to them, are bound to he discontented.”—Dr b. P. -lacks in the “llibbert Journal.”
