AMONG real neighbors and friends, this is
not an empty compliments The with is
dictated by benevolence; and, whenever utter
ed by in intelligent mind, it comprehends much.
Unmingled happiness cannot be found in the
most prosperous year, nor the most pleafenc Rage
of man's life ; for it is not a Sublunary produc
tion. Unminglcd happiness is the -golden har-
V?Q, that will be reaped in heaven, but the feeds
mull be planted on earth. Happiness, that is
fclid and permanent, will grow on no flock
but virtue and religion ; and a happy eternity,
is the result only of time well improved. But
no time is well improved, which is wafted in
jdlmefs, or Squandered in vain and unnecessary
ampfemenrs ; much left that which is killed by
criminal indulgences.
When people with one another a happy New
year, they generally mean a year free from
trouble ; a year of health, case and prosperity.
These ingredients of happin : # depend chiefly
on the will of Providence. And these wishes,
when fiuccre may be corifidcred as prayers to
heaven, for the life, health, and welfare, of those
to whom we with a happy new year. But as
cutward prosperity is a^recarious good, it be
hoves every one to regulate his passions appe
tites and conchia, lo as to secure the tranquility
of h'+nd'vt and rhe su>p!„i<r of rn^fmeßce.
