Undecisive Character.

A person of undecisive character wonders how all the embarrassments in the world happened to meet exactly in his way, to place him just In that one situation for which he is peculiarly unadapted, but in which he Is also willing to think no other man could have acted with facility or confidence. Incapable of setting up a firm purpose on the basis of things a* they are, he is often employed in -vain speculations on some different supposable state of-' things, which would have saved him from all this perplexity and irresolution. He thinks what a determined course he could have pursued If his taints, his health, his age had been different; If he had been acquainted with some one person sooner, If his friends were, in this or the other point, different from what they are; or if fortune-had showered her favors on him. And he gives him* self as much license to complain as If all these advantages had been among the rights of his nativity, but refused, by a malignant or capricious fate, to his John Foster.
