I am nervous, and I am bilious, and, in a word, I am un- happy. This is wrong, very wrong; and it is reasonably to be apprehended that something of serious misfortune may be the deserved punishment of this pusillanimous lowness of spirits. Strange, that one who, in most things, may be said to have enough of the ' care na by, ' should be subject to such vile weakness ! — Drummond Hay, the antiquary and Lyon-herald, * came in. I do riot know any thing which relieves the mind so much from the sul-... lens as trifling discussions about antiquarian old womanries. It is like knitting a stocking, diverting the mind without occupying it ; or it is like, by Our Lady, a mill-dam, which leads one's thoughts gently and imperceptibly out of the channel in which they are chafing and boiling. To be sure, it is only conducting them to turn a child's mill : what signifies that 1 — the diversion is relief, though the object is of little importance. I cannot tell what we talked of.
"March 12. — I was sadly worried by the black dog this morning, that vile palpitation of the heart — that tremor cordis — that hysterical passion which forces unbidden sighs and tears, and falls upon a con- tented life like a drop of ink on white paper, which is not the less a stain because it carries no meaning.
