An English Criticism.

It is the opinion of an Englishman whohas recently visited this country that all Americans are discontented. “The poor,” he says, “are discontented because they cannot enjoy the good things which wealth alone can buy; the wealthy are discontented because they have enjoyed all these good things and find them flat,, stale and unprofitable; while the moderately well-to-do are discontented behave neither the social freedom enjoyedJjvthe poor, nor the consideration paid tcKlie rich.”
