that looked mean to him might be thoroughfares of enchantment to those living in them; that the apparent sombreness and dullness of the lives of the residents were a reflect tion of his own wider experience, not a feeling to be found in the minds of the people themselves. Familiarity endears us to the most gloomy surroundings, and the meanest streets and smokiest of buildings may in time wear as homelike and pleasing an aspect as grinder mansions and more noble thoroughfares, This is one of those dispensations which enable us to bear our lot, or, rather, riot to repine at the lot of others.
