THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
AN EASTERN TALE.
Tho dervise r\linet, who watched the sa
cred lamp upon the sepulchre of the prophet,
was finishing his morning prayer before the
beautiful gate of the temple, his body turned
towards the East and Iris forehead to the
gro tnd, when, as he rose, he saw before him
a man in rich attire attend by a train of ser
vants, gazing upon him with an air of pensive
satisfaction. The stranger appeared anxious
to address him, and yet restrained by a feeling
of profound respect. The dervise, after a
short silence, approached, and saluting him
with that calm dignity winch sense of inde
pendence gives even to humility, be courteous
ly inireated that he would make known his
wishes.
“Wise son of the prophet,” answered the
■ stranger, “you see before you a man whom
the hand of prosperity has weighed down with
benefits and sorrow; all that I have ever de
sired as the means of happiness 1 already
possess, but yet lam not happy. The fairest
t fruits have turned to dust and ashes in tny
• grasp, and 1 am reduced to despair. I be
wail the rapid flight of time, only because it
’ huriies on without enjoyment, and I dread the
approach ofthe future, because 1 have nothing
to expect from it but the vanity and vexation
ofthe past. Nevertheless, I tremble to per
ceive the days of my years gliding swiftly a
way; and my heart is torn when 1 anticipate
the moment m which Eternity will yawn, and
close over the blank void of my life, even as
■ ine ocean.waves over a sunken ship, and leave
, no more durable trace of my existence than
the curl on the surface of the closing waters.
! If, then, tn tho treasures of thy wisdom, thou
knowest a precept for obtaining happiness,
speak for thy servant listens; io this hope am 1
come from afar, and if in this 1 am disappoint
ed there remains to me only despair.”
Almet listened with astonishment and pity
to this relation, but hts countenance soon re
sumed its wonted serenity and cheerfulness,
and fixing his large gray eye placidly upon
the stranger, be thus ultered the words of
wisdom he had received from the pi ophet:
“I was sitting one day, silent and thought
ful, in the porch of the temple; tny eyes wan
dered over the multitude which was spread
; before me, and remarking the a ! r of hurry and
anxiety visible on the face of each, I began to
ponder on the hapless state of man. Wretch
ed morals, thought 1, to wiial end all this
eagerness and bustle? Is it to procure hap
piness I How few thenare they who succeed!
Can the silks of Persia, or the perfumes ol
Egypt give to those who use them a delight
equal to the toils and sufferings of the slaves
who drive the camels by which they are con-1

garments any longer regarded by ihtTßn—nr
whom custom has rendered thorn familiar, or
has habit an equal power of rendering those
insensible to privation who spend their lives
in deserts, (hose bairen plains of dull, be
numbing uniformity, bounded only by the ho
risen, where no change of form or color, no |
variety <4 aspect or image, comes to console ,
the wearied wayfarer, for the feeling of fatigue i
and danger; of thirst which the rich man would I
give half Ins fortune to slake, and of fear ol
the whirlwinds which threaten every moment
to engulpu him in the fathomless sands ! And
i those upon whose high and haughty brow he-I
tied.tar> d.amunds shine with dazzling bright
ness, u<» they enjoy, in lite possession of their j
' gems, anything like the pleasur which those ;
miserable wretches h ive |<>>t who dig them
; from Die depths ofthe oovvhuHutne imriC
who live deprived ofthe common gifts <d l,a ‘ i

goods ot life is not in pioportion to the rniserj

so great a cidieience tn lite value of existence
between man and man, liow can the power,

I water; 1 fell at his fe» t and would have wor
stuped, but he raised me and commanded s.
• itii* e in an awful voice. ‘Aliuet? bemud

j indeed, but uuderstandest thou what thou
j readest ? It is still open before thee, marls
! more attentively, examine and bo wise?
“I looked, ami beheld a pleasure ground
'beautiful as the garden of Paradise, bat of
J small extent, in the midst there was a mossy
’ mound, at the extremity an arid desert, and
! beyond, all was plunged in impenetrable ob
-1 security. The mound was shaded with trees
jof every sort, thickly covered with blosoWis
and fruit. Birds without numbe- sang among
the branches, and displayed their varied plu
mage to the sun; the turfy knells beneath,
were sprinkled with exquisite flowers, which
sent forth the most rich and balmy odours,
whilst on one side a clear and glancing rivulet
over tho pebbles which formed its bed with a
sweet and dreary murmur; on the other, shady
walks, bowers, grottos, terraces, and cascades
gave infinite diversity to the scene, but still
without concealing its narrow boundaries.
“Whilst 1 was gazing in a transport of de
light and admiration on this enchanting spot,
I perceived a man who was walking through-ifi
with a pensive, mournful air. His arms wore*
folded, and his melancholy eyes were fixed
upon the ground. His gait was slow, bnt
sometimes he hurried on at a rapid pace, a*
it a sudden thought had struck him, and then
hts countenance expressed disquietude and
terror. He looked around and sighed, as h<v
gazed for a moment on the frightful desert
which opened before him; he seemed as if h *
wished to slop but was continually pushed for
ward by an invisible hand. His features soon,
however, recovered their melancholy calm,
his glassy eyes were fixed again upon tho’
ground with their wonted look of abstraction,
and he continued to advance towards the wil
derness with obvious repugnance, but without
other emotion. I was struck by his moping
air of hsllessness and sadness, and turning tft
the angel was about io ask what could causn
this to a being thus surrounded
with every object which could gratify thex
senses when he anticipated my question by
repeating in the same solemn voice as before.
‘1 he book of nature isopen before you, ex
amine for yourself, consider and bo wise.’
“I looked and beheld a narrow valler,
placed between two rugjed, naked hills. On
the low ground there was not a blade of ver
dure, nor did the mountains aflbrd any shade.
Ihe sun darted its vertical rays right into the
and ravine, and all its springs were dried up.
But this parched dale terminated in a rich mwf
fertile country, beautifully diversified with
treesand streams, sprinkled W4h cost y cotta*
ges, and dotted with cattle. Carrying my oyc
along he course of the valley, I perceived a
man, lean indeed, and meanly clothed, but
healthy looking, light and active. His eyas
were fixed steadfastly on the beautiful country
ala distance before him; he pressed o.i eager
ly towards it, but seemed to be held back and
retarded, just as the former appeared to bo
hurried forward by some secret and invisible
iurA expression of impatience and chagrin pass,
like a cloud, over his sun browned feature- 8 ;
and wearied of the fength and painfulness of
the thorny way, he seemed upon the point of
yielding to fatigue and despair, but anon he
prayed io the prophet, and took courage, and
then he bounded futward with alacrity and
cheerfulness.
•• 1 turned to the angel inquired the socret
source ot this man’s satisfaction, but, before
1 bad yet spoken, the voice of Azoran sounded
in my ears: ‘Almet,’ be said, ‘let the vision
winch thou hast this day seen continue graven
on tho tablet ot thy heart. Remember, ever,
that the world in which thou now livest is but
the road leading to another; and tnat happi
ness depends, not upon the road one travels,
