How ever fond our hope', or delightful an ticipations, full they are always liable to be bki(led ; always dubious and un certain; the viHims of every untow ard wind, and the (port cf every riling ['floras. The paths, through which tee wander, are not {trowed with roses. Here and there an uncultivated flower iappears; blooms a while under the genial influence cf the morning ze phyr, and droops and dies beneath the fcorehing beams of the meridian lun. Our pkafuies and enjoyments are as transient as the v-ifious of night; our ideas of happstu ls as delusive as the idle phantom that mocks the wander ing, difeurbed imagination. Where weantetnpt to gather arose, we arc wounded by the thorn it conceals, and where we look for the lovely jeffia niine, intruding weeds and briars de frroy our fond erpe&ations. Difap pointmentssvc our common lot; mis fortunes our ihlicntance ; adversity our attendant ; and despair too free quendy proves our only pbyfician.— Liappintfs iv confine i- within narrow limits; and by teafon of the contraD ed sphere in which {he moves, but a small par* of mankind ever receive the {miles of benignity. But although such are the woes, and the tniferies at tendant np.cn humanity, yet there is no.i roper feci ion in lira genera! fyfterr. of things—no defeef in that govern men! which is adrr.iniftefcd by the au thor of nature. ‘I lie cause is in man alone.

It is b-ccatife there is so much •felfifh-- uefs, coldm-G, avarice and mifan thro - phv in the heart cr ir.ar, that happi neb is ft) little known and experienced in our world. It is becauffi beings formed} or immortality whole creation bespeaks the auency cf Omnipotence, and whose ni'-.ids are capable o receiv ing all that is greet, noble nd good, travel through life without coufidering the great end of (heir creation 7 with out directing their thoughts to the au thor ol their existence ? fixing all iheir hopes to the trilling particle of petifh able earth w’hich they inhabit, and knowing no objv-Cls of praise or ado ration, except ihc feenesof their vice and the temples of their profane orgies. To such character happiness is repug nant ; and while such continue in ex igence, our earth will present feenes of woe and miferv.
