EXPLAINING THE QUOTATION.
“Man wants but little here below.” He wants his meals cooked just right, and composed of the particular things he likes to eat. He wants his clothes kept in perfect order, and the buttons sewed on. He wants to get up when h« gets ready, and then he wants to swear because he misses his car to the office. He wants to be cross when he comes home, and not have it mentioned. He wants to leave his coat, hat, and shoes just where he happens to take them off when he comes in. He wants his slippers right in a certain place, where can can find them without effort. He wants to put the ashes from his cigar in the most convenient place while he smokes. He wants to yawn and go to bed wnen his wife wants him to go out with her and make a call. He wants everything just as he wants it, and he wants no talk about it.
