People Who Whine.
There is a class of persons in this world, by no means small, whose prominent peculiarity is whining. They whine because they are poor, or if rich because they have no health to enjoy their riches ; they whine because they have no luck, and other's prosperity exceeds theirs ; they whine because some friend is dead and they are living ; they whine because they have acnes and pains, and they have aches and pains because they whine ; they whine, no one can tell why. Now, a word to these whining persons : First, stop whining— it is of no use complaining, fretting, fault-finding, and whining. Why, you are the most deluded set of creatures ever lived 1 Do you know that it ia a well-settled principle of physiology and common sense that these habits are mose exhausting to nervous vitality than almost any other violation of physiological law ? And do you know that life is pretty much as you make it ? You can make it bright and sunshiny, or you can make it dark and shadowy. This life is made only to discipline us— to fit us for a higher and purer state of being. Then stop whining and fretting, and go on your way rejoicing.
