bearing up as manfully as you can putting a good face on things trying to persuade yourself that you have done very fairly in life after all and all of a sudden to feel that merciful self deception fail you and just justko to break down to own how bitterly beaten and disappointed you are and what a sad and wretched failure you have made of life there is no one in the world we all try so hard to cheat and delude 1 as s how we hoodwink that individual and try to make him look at things through rose colored spectacles like the poor little girl in mr dickens touching story we make believe very much but sometimes we are not able to make believe the illusion goes the bare unvarnished truth forces itself upon us and we see what miserable little wretches we are how poor and petty etty are our ends in life and what a nii dull duli weary round it all is you remember the poor old half pay pas officer of whom charles lamb tells us he was not to be disillusioned dis he asked you to hand him the silver sugar tongs in so confident a tone that though your eyes testified that it was but a teaspoon tea spoon and that of britannia metal a certain spell was cast over your mind but rely on it though that half starved veteran kept up in wills this way before people he would often break down when lie he was alone it would suddenly rush upon him what a wretched old humbug he be was Clou country
