When this single idea happens to be a
peasurable one, perhaps those are the hap
piest we experience in life. Isolated. as it
were, from reality. (that is, dull, earthly
matter-of- fact,) we live in the highest plea
sures; nothing to subtract from our bliss--no
laborious exertion OF either body or mind to
make us conscious Of our humanity, but one
continual stream Of intellectual joy, flowing
from single fountain, pours in upon the
heart, and elevates US above our usual natu-
raj being. Happy would we be, if having
once caught this bird of Paradise, we could
hold it forever But, alas! we are born to
disappointment Oft, while we are revell-
ing in high born, p3re pleasures, we are
dragged from them, and forced to accom-
modate ourselves to the way of the world !;
to toll, shift, and twist to "make both ends
meet" to prolong our dull existence.

posed and capable to examine every thing
presented to it in rational and tlispassionate

heads and hearts would be ameliorated.--
The deep arcana of nature, both physical
and intellectual, would be penetrated, and
those gems of great value, would be brought
Ito view, and applied to sur comfort and
pleasure. But. .incapacity enchans too many
minds, and bows them down with its ponder
Gus shacklcs, and Incidence as often wraps
them in its freezing mantle, and congeals every
stream Of intelligence. Some are SO indiffer-
ent and insensble, as to ''take things as they
are" without an exertion to foresee or pre-
vent, while others have the extreme pain
to behold all their predictions fail from not
having pursued their investigations far e
nough. Some think they cannot controul
coming events. thefore assume degrading
lethargy-others exert themselves partially


and reap disappointment. u.
