Tho sight of it would make ypu think- of all the bitter .diseases that flesh is heir to,—hypo, blue-devils, megrims, mulligrubs, northeasters, notea-to-pay, and all sorts of diabolical .despondencies. To take his word for it, Benoni was never well in his life; he always trad “a terrible pain in.the stomach,” or was “ in a poor state of health,” or was “Jailing fast,” ori “doing miserably,” or- was not long for this world,” or. in gome such dismal w»y. , It is wonderful to see how many bitter ways there are of enjoying life. Benoni Burdock was a perfect adept in this art;,ho extracted bitterness from every thing. He was bitter habitually, aud sour by way of a change. .He drank hardly any tiling but Stoughton's elixir, and once quarrelled with his father, because, instead of strong beer; he rave him a glass of Mother Cob’s mild. He always bad bis meat overdone, to give it a sooty flavor, .and could not endure any sauce that did not taste puckcry. As for medicine, pills were too sweet for him; his favorite dose was coloquintida, though there were variations ofbiiterncts in his humor when tic couId endure Atcmy/icm, His recreation was redding, last sermons, and his felicity foul weather..

Bciioni was fond of music; but it was music of a particular eon. He delighted * to hear ibo filing of & handsaw* the yelping of a dag, a catconcert, the singing of a north-wester through a cranny, the clack of a ■ scolding woman, the grinding of an ungreased wheel, and. the roaring of a bull-frog. .He could sing, after a fashion, and amused himself with ail suns of bitter tunes, such as, “.Oh, there’ll be mourning,”—The Tongs and the Bones, —Dirge ■ in the Dumps, and Billinga’a Jargon, Tie had a cage hanging up in his room, where he kept—not a, canary bird, or a bob-o-link, but a beautiful little screech owl. There was also a cricket under his heutb,' and when the owl screeched,-the cricket-cried, the tea-kettle sighed, and the sappy fore-stick of the fire set up a groaning, then Benoni felt the full enjoyment of bitterness. He. would strike in and sing 1 his favorite air, “Let’s all be unhappy together!” ■ * . ! ■ ’ Benoni,‘too, was food of the fine arts.' |Hc had all sorts of bitter-looking pi rtrits hanging in his room, such as Richard the Third, Djozzar : Pasha, Camilla, Commodore Trunnion;'Ancient Pistol, and Old Put. BenoniV. literature showed the same exquisite taste. He learnt all sorts of bitter words and objurgatory ejaculations. In philosophy he was a decided cynic, ‘ami he knew. Kochcfoucault by heart. He thought highly of Timon of Athens, and was an indefatigable collector of Fast Day sermons ; but his favorite .reading was Dr. Gall, Some people may think Benoni was miserable in consequence of all this. Never was a greater mistake. Benoni was happy because bitterness was enjoyment to him. Did you overtake notice, reader, of the lives of these grumbling people! They are “ sick of the world,”, they “ arc tired ofexistencc,” “such thing* will kilt them,” they are “just going,” and all that; and yet how long-lived they are! They survive all their cheerful neighbours. No misfortunes, no catastrophes, no Bufferings, hinder them from grow* jpg gray under all their calamities. The wonder it they ever die at all. Grumbling is the life of them. '

Just bo with licnoni; he was always happiest when there was moat bitterness about him. The more.btller things he could Bay, the more bitter things be could do, the more hitter things be could hear of, the more he thrived.
