My father, a wise and grave man, gave me
serious and excellentcounsel against what he
foresaw was my design. He called me one
morn-ing into his chamber, where he was
confined by the gout, and expostula-ted very
warmly with me upon this subject. He asked
me what reasons,more than a mere wandering
inclination, I had for leaving father's
houseand my native country, where I might be
well introduced, and had aprospect of
raising my fortune by application and
industry, with a life ofease and pleasure.
He told me it was men of desperate fortunes
on onehand, or of aspiring, superior
fortunes on the other, who went abroadupon
adventures, to rise by enterprise, and make
themselves famous inundertakings of a nature
out of the common road; that these things
wereall either too far above me or too far
below me; that mine was the middlestate, or
what might be called the upper station of
low life, which he hadfound, by long
experience, was the best state in the world,
the most sui-ted to human happiness, not
exposed to the miseries and hardships,
thelabour and sufferings of the mechanic
part of mankind, and not embar-rassed with
the pride, luxury, ambition, and envy of the
upper part ofmankind. He told me I might
judge of the happiness of this state by
thisone thing--viz, that this was the state
of life which all other people en-vied; that
kings have frequently lamented the miserable
consequence ofbeing born to great things,
and wished they had been placed in the mid-
dle of the two extremes, between the mean
and the great; that the wiseman gave his
testimony to this, as the standard of
felicity, when heprayed to have neither
poverty nor riches.
He bade me observe it, and I should
always find that the calamities oflife were
shared among the upper and lower part of
mankind, but thatthe middle station had the
fewest disasters, and was not exposed to
somany vicissitudes as the higher or lower
part of mankind ; nay, they werenot
subjected to so many distempers and
uneasinesses, either of body ormind, as
those were who, by vicious living, luxury,
and extravaganceson the one hand, or by hard
labour, want of necessaries, and mean
orinsufficient diet on the other hand, bring
distemper upon themselves bythe natural
consequences of their way of living; that
the middle station oflife was calculated for
all kind of virtue and all kind of
enjoyments; thatpeace and plenty were the
handmaids of a middle fortune; that temper-
ance, moderation, quietness, health,
society, all agreeable diversions,and all
desirable pleasures, were the blessings
attending the middle sta-tion of life; that
this way men went silently and smoothly
through theworld, and comfortably out of it,
not embarrassed with the labours of thehands
or of the head, not sold to a life of
slavery for daily bread, nor ha-rassed with
perplexed circumstances, which rob the soul
of peace andthe body of rest, nor enraged
with the passion of envy, or the
secretburning lust of ambition for great
things; but, in easy circumstances,sliding
gently through the world, and sensibly
tasting the sweets of liv-ing, without the
bitter; feeling that they are happy, and
learning by ev-ery day's experience to know
it more sensibly.
