After hearing that his friend Fuller had enjoyed one of these pleasant dances, his serious nature asserted itself by declaring that dancing was a good, and, as he supposed, an inno- cent amusement, but '^ we never need go to halls and assembly rooms to enjoy it. The world is nothing but a contra-dance, and every one, volens^ nolens^ has a part in it. Some are sinking, others rising, others balancing, some gradually ascending towards the top, others fiamingly leading down; some cast off from Fam...e and Fortune, and some again in a comfortable allemande with both. If you should ask me what station I should allot myself in this dance of life I should be staggered to tell you, though I believe, by some con- founded ill luck, I have slipped a foot, and am fairly on the knee here in Pequawket." While in Fryeburg the young teacher made good use of the Social Library which the town afforded, finding books there he had not been able to find in Hanover, He and his roommate read aloud alternately the Spec- tator and Tatler^ and had discussions upon English literature.
