We know a man who, in the midst of the fever of restlessness and of ambition which racks society in our times, continues to fill his humble part in the world without a murmur, and who still preserves, so to speak, the taste for poverty. AV ith no other fortune than a small clerkship, which enables him to live within the narrow limits which separate competence from want, our philosopher looks from the height of his attic upon society as upon a sea, of which he neither covets the riches nor fears the wrecks. Being too insignificant to excite the envy of any one, he sleeps peacefully, wrapped in his obscurity. IS ot that he retreats into egotism as a tortoise into its shell! He is the man of whom Terence says that nothing human seems foreign to him !A ll external objects and incidents are reflected in his mind as in a camera obscura, which presents their images in a picture.
