DISCONTENT.
Thinkest thou the man whose mansions hold
The worldling's pomp, and miser's gold,

Than he, who, in his cot at rest,
Finds heavenly peace a willing guest,
And bears the promise in his breast
Of treasures in the skies?
—Mrs. Sigourney.

Be discreet in all things, and so render it unnecessary to be mysterious about anything.
