Happy is he who can feel the wholesome attraction of all social forces, and yet keep his mind lightly poised upon its own centre, and true to its own orbit.
Temble evils come from giving solar centrality and attraction to some equivocal if not evil power, such as ofben goes by the name of fashion or the world. In one way or 264 AMERICAN LIFE.
...another we are all more or less subject to this sway, and our spirits rise or fall, are gloomy or giddy as our great ar- biter smiles or frowns upon us. Much even of our hard work and anxious scheming looks for its reward to this pitiful demi-god ; and success in business or a profession has its choicest reward in the eyes of wordlings from the breath of social opinion, and but for the spur of emulation, the sting^-of rivalry, many an eager competitor would rest upon his lam'els or his gains, and save something of himself both body and soul, from the wasting fevpr that is burning him up.
