Thero would be a far;greater propor tion of happiness in this wrld, if man ' kind, instead of continually grasping for m:re.than they can obtain, would st reasonable bounds to their desires Thrtre must necessarily b misfortune and; distress in tlie world : but the com font i;n l nleasnres of life can always be .... - , made greatly t) counterbalance those ca Um'ities, and theii attendant eviis. Can teritment renders a mess of pottage more savory to tlie palate of the cutuger than the richest viands are to those who are rolling in wealth ; but whose ini-.atiable thirjst for gain will not allow them to think they have jenough. Our cou:itry men are constantly murmuring. Turn which way we will, we yre sure to have our! ears saluted with the, cry of Hard Viaes. And many paragraphs - in our i i . country newspapers, parlicu'arly tno.se from the western states, are of desponding and gloomy nature, they should chance to find their Europe, th.ey Would believe us to be lit tle,! if any better off, than tlie peasantry of the Emerald I$land,.;or the ha!f-s!arveJ m lhufa'.'turers of Manchester. And what cause have' we thus to miiVmur and com plain ? It is our happy lot to live under an. excellent government, administered bylmtn of our own choice. We have a fruitful country, with a varied, yet health-' ful, climate, that enables us to prodireekjin abundance of the necessaries, and many of the luxuries of life. True, our coun try has suffered for two or three years past, from a change in the commercial world, and in consequence of our own extravagance. Hut have we not enough to eat, to drink, and to wear ! Qur fields wave with the golden corn, our .meadows with luxuriant but dens, and our orchards yield a rich variety of delicious fruits. Aud, if for the jvaut of a market for pur surplus produce, we are not nble, as fpr merly, to amass fortunes in a day, we have still abundant oarje for gratitude to that Almighty Hcing wjio causes so many blessings to cluster ar.ojild our dwel lings" We have only . to curtail our ex penses, to affix reasonable bounds to onr desires, to be industrious economical, and contented to be hnppy. Nor .riches, nor fame, nor what the world calls plea-, sure, willj give us happiness ; and if .we search the world around, we shall find at last that moderate Irishes are the source of what generation after generation have labored in vain to find. The following story is a beautiful illustration of what we hae here advanced : "The youthful shepherd, Manalcus, being in search of a stray lamb from his flock, discovered in tlie recesses of -tlie forres't a hunter, stretched at the foot of a tree, exhausted with fatigue and with hunger. ; Alas f shepherd, he exclaimed I came here yesterday in pursuit of. game; and have been janable tt retrace the path by which Ijentered this frightful solitude, or discover jt single vestige of human footstep.
