For tie Augusta Chronicle.
AS no objeCt in human pursuits is more
eagerly fought alter than happindi; and
as none prdcnts more obftadcs to the attain.
mcntf.it certainly becomes an object of pri
mary importance, to point out lomc way,
or to )ay down fomc rules, whereby we
may arrive as neat it as poiiible.
Happinds in the common acceptation of
the term, implies any thing that gives
momentary eaie to the mind, or conduces
to the attainment of any ftnfuul enjoyment;
‘tvhdhcr this dnmition ot the term be cor
red or not, 1 ibid I leave to others to deter
mine, and only ohferve, that true happiness
is in my opinion no: altogether dependent o»
fcnfual enjoyments,
(W ill tK* 1 * * ' ’
lolopßy is, that we admit no more effects,
than there are adequate causes; and it is
equally reafoaable that we expect to attal*
to no end, or acquirement, unlcfs we fijll
afliiluuully make u(c ot fomc proper means
to its attainment. Thcfe facts being eflah
lilhtd (which no one will deny) it will ne
cclfaruy lead us to otiferve, char there is no
other means, by which wc can attain, so
nearly to a itaric of hoppineft and tranquili
ty, us the p oar employment of time.
To know how to employ time nuel/ t u
one of the greatelt* and nobicii of human
acquifitidnsj ahd One, by no means the
lead difficult But when we re
flect on the vail extent of the human mind;
on the immense Itore of intellectual power
which is allotted to man, we sh ill immedi
ately perceive, that thde were given him
for more noble purpofcs, ij a 'merely to drag
away an ufelcis exilltnce on this globe.—
But mortifying mail it he to every .reflect
ing mind, to olderve such numbers of men,
spend a life infinitely, wbrfe than nfelcfs.
There sb, in the uuellectuul ttfouroco of
every man, pri.lt(Cr fufficient, rot only t»
render himftlf happy, but to contribut ■
largely to the happintfi of thoft around him ;
bat ibrial happineftds only to he attained by
the praCfice. of sac ial virtue—the brigheft or
nament of human nature I
It is truly a mortification .to the moral
part of the community! to fee how little
attention is paid the cultivation of virtue,
among the riling generation; ami no left
mortifying mud it be, to fee whofc
experience and rcfpcClable fl anding in socie
ty, hive been fufnetent for them to set cx,
amples of moral rcCtitude for their children,
relaxing into those very Iccncs of diflipati.
on, which tend to poifbn the minds, of
youth, and llnke at the very root of facial
harmony., •
Among the more prominent vices of this
period, is that moll atrocious of all others,
namely, gambling. Gambling lias so far
taken polleflion of the minds of men latter
ly, that to a stranger firft entering into the
society of our country, it would almost ap
pear to be inculcated as a virtue.
Here let ns pause for a moment, re
flect upon this mode of employing time, In
stead of the affectionate husband, and ten-,
der parent, employing his every moment m
consummating the happiness of his compani
on, and instilling virtue into his offspring ;
instead of his forming the mind of his lit
tle prattlers, by the foftering hand of pa
ternal solicitude, bending the tender bud
by the hand of experience;; he rifts with
the fun, and (as soon as he has recovered
his last night’s debauch) dircfls his totter
ing steps to the neighboring gaming houft ;
where he consumes the day in the molt in
famous of practices. His fortune, however
great, is daily exhausting, and ultimately
his innocent family is plunged into the moil
abjcCt poverty. How many fatal inftancca
are there of this lamentable truth ? How
often is it that the family who was lately
tepofing on the lap of affluence and case, are,
by one unguarded ftrokc, precipitated to
poverty'and milery ? and this bjr the atro
cious practice of gambling, and its affociato
vices.
When we take a view of theft melan
choly faCts, (hail we not cxpeCt the youth to
tread in similar steps. Man has been justly
termed an imitative animal, and as fach
will always incline more or less, to the pre
vailing examples of the day.'
But happy were it for mankind, if the
vice of gambling had no farther influence.
It is so intimately connected with almost al|
other vices, that it not only destroys dome
flic tranquility and individual enjoyment,
but it strikes at the bafi* of social ord xen
